CLIMATE ACTION: To achieve Toronto’s 2025, 2030 and 2040 climate targets, our municipal leaders need to fully fund all actions in Toronto’s climate strategy and accelerate investments in affordable housing, transit, and good green jobs.

If elected, will you support:

• Following through on Toronto’s climate emergency declaration commitment to secure dedicated, sustained and equitable climate funding by implementing new revenue tools to fund climate action?

CLIMATE RESILIENCE: To achieve Toronto’s resilience goals, our municipal leaders need to support communities - particularly those most affected - to prepare for and respond to climate change impacts, including heatwaves and flooding.

If elected, will you support:

• A review and overhaul of Toronto’s heating and cooling bylaws for landlords to protect tenants from heatwaves, including setting a maximum safe temperature for rental units?
• A fair stormwater charge that will make polluters pay for stormwater reduction and flood-proofing projects (such as green infrastructure and Ravine Strategy support)?

WASTE AND A CIRCULAR ECONOMY: We need ambitious action to make Toronto a zero waste city by reducing the disposables that pollute our environment and shifting towards reusable alternatives.

If elected, will you support:

• Passing regulations to eliminate unnecessary single-use items and require a shift to reusable foodware in businesses and City facilities as part of the Single-Use Reduction Strategy?

THE PLEDGE: If elected, I commit to supporting all actions outlined above in the candidate pledge. I will work to make Toronto a greener, healthier, and more equitable city for all.
