Task Force Action Plan
In June 2010, Dr. Balsillie delivered the Report of the Air Quality Task Force to the Minister of the Environment: Southwest Greater Toronto Area, Oakville-Clarkson Airshed.
The task force action plan is divided into three parts:
- Part 1 makes the case for a new airshed management system in the Oakville-Clarkson Airshed. It outlines a governance model, as well as new policies and programs that would be needed to make the management system work
- Part 2 provides information about the specific components of the action plan. These components include: air quality improvement targets; strategies; time lines; short, medium and long-term actions; stakeholder roles and responsibilities; reporting; monitoring; and ongoing implementation
- Part 3 focuses on the policies, programs and operations of other ministries and regional and municipal levels of government
The plan includes 35 recommendations to improve air quality and manage air pollution impacts in the airshed.
