We are pleased to announce that Project Update #4 (attached) is posted to the Long Term Waste Management Strategy website: www.toronto.ca/wastestrategy and includes information on:

  • Draft Vision Statement
  • Details of June Public Consultation Events happening across Toronto
  • Draft Evaluation Criteria and Preliminary Options

This phase of the Strategy is pivotal as the feedback received through June and July will help shape the future of waste management in Toronto.
