A New Resilience Strategy for Toronto
Toronto is preparing for the worst of climate change, but also the stresses of affordability, congestion, and aging infrastructure.
Toronto released the cities first resilience strategy earlier this week, attempting to anticipate the looming threats of climate change and the risks posed the city's most vulnerable populations.
An article for the CBC News shares news of the new strategy, which includes ten goals and 27 actions items, categorized into three focus areas: people and neighbourhoods, infrastructure, and leadership. The strategy is intended for the City Council to reference when making future planning and funding decisions.
Toronto follows Montreal as the second Canadian city after Montreal to release a resilience strategy, according to the article.
