Toronto is close to becoming the first city in Canada to pass a Community Right to Know Bylaw which will be instrumental in reducing our exposure to toxic chemicals.

Toronto Public Health (TPH) has just released a consultation document on the draft bylaw on Environmental Reporting and Disclosure and they want your feedback.  TPH is asking residents to answer 3 questions on the proposed program.  Please take the time to send your comments to the City.  Consultation document is available as follows:

PDF Format- http://www.toronto.ca/health/hphe/pdf/enviro_disclosure.pdf

Comments on this proposal must be received by February 6th, 2008.  Please send your responses/comments to: publichealth@toronto.ca

If you are really tight for time, sending an email to publichealth@toronto.ca with a quick line stating your strong support for the bylaw will go a very long way.

Toronto Public Health will finalize the draft bylaw by Spring 2008, and it is expected to go to council  in early Summer 2008.
