(January 7, 2008) Toronto Public Health would like to hear your thoughts about a proposed Environmental Reporting and Disclosure Program being considered by the City of Toronto that would:

require (through a bylaw) specified facilities to report to the City every year if they use or release chemical substances that are of greatest concern to health; help facilities to focus attention on the use and release of these chemicals and facilitate pollution prevention measures; enable the public to access and understand the information that is collected.
