Toronto Green Community

The built environment, transportation, pollutants, access to healthy food, energy costs, access to green space and recreational opportunities can affect all Torontonians, but have a greater impact on marginalized and low-income households. Such environmental issues are taking a higher place on the public agenda, yet the perspectives of disadvantaged groups are not being included as much as they should be. Environment sector work has also been found to be less inclusive than it could be; this means that an important and growing sector is excluding people from opportunities.
