The City of Toronto is inviting residents to celebrate Earth Day virtually this year as Toronto remains in the Shutdown Zone of the Province’s COVID-19 response framework and is under the provincial Stay-at-Home order.

In his Earth Day video message to Torontonians, Mayor John Tory thanks residents for the actions they take every day to green their lives. He also talks about what the City is doing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, address the climate emergency and advance TransformTO, Toronto's Climate Action Strategy to make our city a healthier, more equitable and prosperous place. 

“The City is developing innovative solutions to tackle climate change. I’m proud of the progress we’ve made, and of course we’ve still got a long way to go. That's why we're committed to Toronto’s climate action strategy – TransformTO. The strategy will see Toronto become a carbon neutral city and a healthier, more equitable and prosperous city as we take action to reduce carbon pollution. I thank all Toronto residents for the action they take every day to green their lives and our beautiful city.” Says  Mayor John Tory
