TRCA
With decades of practical experience in protecting our environment, educating young people, and engaging communities, TRCA works with governments, businesses, and individuals to build a greener, cleaner healthier place to live.
Our Vision
The quality of life on Earth is being determined in the rapidly expanding city regions. Our vision is for a new kind of community, The Living City, where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature’s beauty and diversity.
Our expertise
TRCA offers knowledge and experience to help our partners contribute to a healthy city region. This includes ecologyand the study of water quality, natural habitats, plants, animals and more to help us identify environmental needs, set targets, and restore natural areas; sustainable community development to advise partners about land use, development proposals and construction, and environmental education to help students and community members appreciate their local environment and learn to look after it.
Local Action
“Think globally, act locally” applies well to TRCA and its partners. While we recognize our participation in the global environment, our work is focused squarely on the environment here in the Toronto region. We work to protect and restore the health of the nine watersheds that form the Toronto region, and the Lake Ontario waterfront along its southern boundary.
Working Together
Communities across our watersheds are meeting the challenge of protecting and restoring the health of our environment. TRCA works alongside its municipal partners, other environmental departments and organizations, educational organizations, corporations and grass roots community groups to help them, as well as ourselves, achieve our goals in support of a greener, cleaner, healthier place to live.
