In September 2007, Toronto City Council adopted the Bird-Friendly Development Rating System and Acknowledgement Program. The Bird-Friendly Development Rating System is a tool for developers, building owners and managers that outlines the options and strategies that need to be incorporated into new or existing developments in order for it to be acknowledged by the City of Toronto as 'birdfriendly'.
The Rating System and Acknowledgement Program is the companion piece to the Bird-Friendly Development Guidelines. The Bird-Friendly Development Guidelines are a component of the City of Toronto's Green Development Standard, which requires the "Minimum" of the Bird-Friendly Rating System. Through the Acknowledgement Program the City will endorse a developer's intention and the post construction/renovation of developments verified as bird-friendly. As acknowledgement for their efforts, the City will award building owners and managers limited-edition prints for their lobby. Created by artist Jillian Ditner specifically for the acknowledgement Program, the artwork will be awarded to the first 25 companies that implement the Bird-Friendly Development Guidelines. This series of three screened prints take the plight of endangered migratory birds in the city as their theme.
