Toronto, Ontario – The Green Party of Ontario became the first party to publicly present their Waste Diversion strategy in response to The Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

Ontario Greens Champion Local Food Procurement
Today, the City of Toronto votes on a motion concerning local food procurement. Some of which may be produced right here in our community.

For this reason we have always stood behind our local farms and the food they produce. We encourage the city of Toronto to do the same when they vote on a local food procurement policy for the city.
