Local water experts team up to protect Toronto drinking water

The CTC Source Protection Committee represents the municipal, business, general public and interest group sectors across the Toronto, Credit Valley, and central Lake Ontario source protection areas. The committee has developed a draft terms of reference, which will guide the region’s four-year planning process for protecting drinking water in the area.

As Toronto is located in the Toronto and region source protection area, the decisions of the CTC source protection committee will have a lasting impact on Downtown residents.

A public meeting has been planned in Toronto by the CTC Source Protection Committee on the evening of September 15, 2008. This meeting will include an open house session where municipal, economic and public interest stakeholders will speak with the public about protecting drinking water in Toronto. Local residents may attend the forum and review the Draft Terms of Reference online at www.ctcswp.ca and offer any comments they may have prior to the September 21, 2008 deadline.
