Toronto Declares Right To Healthy Environment

On December 10, 2015, Toronto became the 100th municipality to declare the right to a healthy environment. Since Toronto's declaration, Milton, Stratford and Saugeen Shores, have also joined in making the declaration. A full list of municipalities that have made the declaration for a right to a healthy environment can be found at bluedot.ca/declarations.

These declarations are all part of the David Suzuki Foundation's Blue Dot Movement, that asks all Canadian municipalities to adopt declarations that recognize their citizens' right to a healthy environment. The declarations are part of a broader campaign to ultimately see Canada enshrine a right to a healthy environment into the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
