Impact on Toronto:

“Sustainable accessible nature is absolutely central to Toronto’s urban environment and uniqueness as a livable urban metropolis. The act of greening and caring for these spaces changes people and inspires communities.”
— Geoff Cape, Executive Director, Evergreen

Why it matters:

Clean air and water, uncontaminated soil, and green spaces are essential to healthy living. Greening Toronto ensures a healthy city for our children’s future.

• Toronto is ranked Canada’s most sustainable large city for the second year in a row by Corporate Knights, getting high marks for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, limiting household waste and local food production and access.
• Half of all Torontonians visit one of our city’s 1,500 parks at least once per week; almost 14 per cent make daily visits.
