----------

we have released a mid-campaign report card on Toronto's top five mayoral candidates, and the results show that there is much work to be done.  The report card evaluates candidates on what they have said publicly about our 6 priority environmental actions identified in February.

By knowing what they are doing well and where they need to improve, we hope this evaluation will motivate candidates to work hard through the summer to develop excellent environmental platforms. Our goal is to get every one of the top 5 mayoral candidates to become an environmental leader.  We garnered quite a bit of media attention around this report card, with articles in The Star, The Globe, CBC radio, Newstalk 1010, BlogTO, Torontoist, National Post, and Inside Toronto. (All of these articles are linked through our website at www.torontoenvironment.org/newsroom/teainthenews)

I have attached a pdf version of the report card to this email, and you can also find it and more details on how we came up with the grades at www.torontoenvironment.org

Watch for the final report card prior to the October 25th election that will grade each candidate on their responses to a comprehensive environmental survey.
