East Gwillimbury receives Clean Air Day Award at the Smog Summit

The Town of East Gwillimbury is the recipient of a national Clean Air Day Award for its outstanding leadership in increasing the energy efficiency of new construction.

On September 5th, 2006 the Town of East Gwillimbury in Ontario , passed a resolution adopting a Municipal policy directing all new Town facilities and new industrial, commercial, institutional and high-rise residential buildings within the municipality to be built to LEED (NC) Canada Version 1.0 certification level “Silver”. This policy follows the Council’s previous policy initiative with the Energy Star program for residential development. As a small rural town, East Gwillimbury has shown enormous leadership in being environmentally proactive and hopes their innovative approaches will be implemented in municipalities across Ontario and Canada.

East Gwillimbury Mayor James Young accepted the award at the Smog Summit. The Summit brings together Federal, Provincial and Municipal government leaders to discuss smog, air pollution and greenhouse gases and make commitments to clean air actions.
