  • Lessons Learned from a Massive Climate Achievement
    ONTARIO CLEAN AIR ALLIANCE RESEARCH Lessons learned from a massive climate achievement by Brad Cundiff April 2015 160 John Street Suite 300 Toronto, Ontario M5V 2E5 Phone: 416-260-2080 [email protected] ONTARIO CLEAN AIR cleanairalliance.org ALLIANCE RESEARCH Special thanks to the Ivey Foundation and the Metcalf Foundation for their generous financial support. Report distribution partner: Ontario’s Coal Phase Out: Lessons learned from a massive climate achievement ©2015 Ontario Clean Air Alliance Research Author: Brad Cundiff, Green Living Communications Cover photograph: Demolition of Lakeview coal plant by Toronto Star Preface When we started the campaign to get rid of dirty coal, few thought we would succeed. Eliminating coal use meant getting the province’s giant electric utility to abandon a source of cheap, albeit highly polluting, energy. It meant convincing political leaders that Ontario could make the transition to cleaner electricity sources without the lights going out and bills soaring. And it meant massively increasing public understanding of the threat posed by coal, its role in the province’s electricity system, and cleaner alternatives. Coal’s oversized pollution footprint, however, also made it a huge opportunity to drive massive improvements in air quality and to make major progress in reducing climate destabilizing emissions. The task, then, was to tell an effective story about what could be gained by shifting away from coal and how we could keep the lights on without it. Our success in doing that was thanks to efforts of many people and organizations who believed in our vision of a coal-free Ontario. I would particularly like to thank the Ontario Medical Association and the Toronto Public Health, especially the late Dr.

  • Dean-Mcleod-Lester-B-Pearson-Award
    ONTARIO LESTER B. LACROSSE PEARSON ASSOCIATION AWARD - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - DEAN MCLEOD NAMED AS 2021 LESTER B. PEARSON AWARD RECIPIENT TORONTO, ON – Lacrosse Canada has announced that Dean McLeod will be presented with the 2021 Lester B. Pearson Award. The Pearson Award is presented annually to members of the Canadian lacrosse community in recognition of their unselfish dedication and outstanding contributions of sportsmanship and distinguished leadership to the game of lacrosse and to the physical and mental development of young Canadians. McLeod’s devotion, work ethic, focus and sustained commitment to the Ontario Junior “A” Lacrosse League, and to lacrosse in his hometown of Brampton, have been exemplary. Born in Brampton, Ontario in 1945, Dean has been involved in lacrosse at virtually every position possible. However, in 1982, he took on the role for which he is most commonly identified when he became Commissioner of the Ontario Lacrosse Association Junior “A” League; a position he held for over three and a half decades. At the end of the 2018 Ontario Lacrosse season, he officially announced his retirement as commissioner, ending a 37-year continuous years of service to the league. When asked for his initial response to hearing that he was named the Pearson Award recipient, Mr. McLeod stated, “When Terry Rowland (Lacrosse Canada Director of Marketing) telephoned me and told me I had been selected the 2021 recipient of the Lester B. Pearson Award, and along with it comes Life Membership through Lacrosse Canada, I was completely dumbfounded! What an unsuspected honour to have my name now sit alongside all of the great past winners of this award.

  • Constructing a Foundation for Change: the Ecosystem Approach and the Global Imperative on Toronto’S Central Waterfront
    Constructing a Foundation for Change: The Ecosystem Approach and the Global Imperative on Toronto’s Central Waterfront Jennefer Laidley 5 August 2005 A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jennefer Laidley, MES Candidate Gene Desfor, Supervisor Abstract: This paper explores the micro-level politics involved in the processes of planning Toronto’s Central Waterfront in the period between the mid-1980s and the early 2000s. Using a conceptual framework that reviews and integrates ideas from growth machine literature as well as urban regime, regulation and globalization theories, the paper sets current waterfront development efforts in a theoretical context through which they can be understood as a 21st-century strategy for capital accumulation. In order to understand the ways in which Toronto’s waterfront has come to be mobilized to accommodate the imperatives of global economic and spatial restructuring, this paper takes an historical approach, reviewing waterfront planning activities undertaken in Toronto in the past twenty years. A new and novel “ecosystem approach” to waterfront planning was adopted in this period which, through its ability to both encompass and conceal a range of meanings, allowed its proponents to accommodate a variety of historical problems that had impeded waterfront development. This paper demonstrates that, in so doing, this approach set the stage for the elite pursuit of world city status through the development of Toronto’s Central Waterfront. i Foreword: My enrolment in the MES program was intended as a step toward a new career in a related but perhaps tangential field to the one in which I had worked for more than a decade.

  • Did the Harris Government Have a Plan for Ontario's Municipalities?
    Amalgamations, Service Realignment, and Property Taxes: Did the Harris Government Have a Plan for Ontario’s Municipalities?* Andrew Sancton Local Government Program Department of Political Science The University of Western Ontario London, ON N6A 5C2 Drastic change was contemplated by The Common Sense Revolution (CSR), the election manifesto that brought Mike Harris to power as premier of Ontario in 1995; the Harris government implemented drastic change; therefore the CSR explains what the Harris government has done. The fact that this syllogism is logically flawed should be obvious. The aim of this paper, however, is to go beyond formal logic and show that, with respect to the Harris-government’s municipal policies, its substance is flawed as well. Although Harris has brought dramatic change to Ontario municipalities, such change was not the result of the CSR. On municipal issues, the CSR was too vague to account for any of the policies subsequently implemented. The CSR promised only that “any actions we take will not result in increases to local property taxes; that “regional and municipal levels” of government should be “ rationalize[d]...to avoid overlap and duplication that now exists”; and that “we will sit down with municipalities to discuss ways of reducing government entanglement and bureaucracy with an eye to eliminating waste and duplication as well as unfair downloading by the province” (Progressive Party of Ontario 1994). At great political cost, the government launched a massive campaign in late 1995 to promote municipal amalgamation outside Metropolitan Toronto and in 1997 to compel it within, all the while leaving politically unpopular regional governments untouched (until late 1999 at least).
