Eglinton-Lawrence for Climate Action (ELCA) Mission statement 2024 

Eglinton-Lawrence for Climate Action is a non-profit group of residents of Eglinton-Lawrence riding dedicated to increasing awareness of the need for climate action in the community and at all levels of government.  This includes:

  • reducing waste in all sectors – food, garbage, non-essential goods
  • improving transit and active transportation
  • increasing green spaces and opportunities for people to enjoy time in green spaces
  • improving energy and water efficiency of buildings
  • transitioning away from use of fossil fuels and toward clean energy sources
  • creating and improving opportunities for biodiversity (advocating for native plants, reforestation)
  • creating local pesticide-free food sources and improving access to healthy food for everyone.

The group aims to hold public education meetings on these topics, to produce and distribute materials on these topics, and to meet with experts in the fields, elected representatives and candidates for office to raise awareness about these issues.
