April 22, 2003

"Earth Month"

April

WHEREAS: the City of Toronto's lands, waters, air and other natural resources should be protected and preserved at all costs. This goal of environmental sustainability is the legacy we wish to leave for those who follow us; and
WHEREAS: the City of Toronto supports and strengthens its commitment to the environment by continuing to accomplish the goals outlined in its first environmental plan - Clean, Green and Healthy: A Plan for an Environmentally Sustainable Toronto; and
WHEREAS: Earth Day is the single largest peacetime demonstration in history, a global event that raises awareness for environmental issues. The City of Toronto celebrates the spirit of Earth Day with its fourth annual Enviro Festival because through special events and public education we can make a difference.
NOW,
THEREFORE: I, Mayor Mel Lastman, on behalf of Toronto City Council and the 2.5 million people of our great City, do hereby proclaim April 22, 2003 as "Earth Day" and April 2003 as "Earth Month" in the City of Toronto and encourage all residents to do their part in creating a clean, green and healthy City.
