Submission: Adequate Temperature By-Law

ACORN Canada, Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario, Canadian Environmental Law Association, Low-Income Energy Network, and Toronto Environmental Alliance are writing in support of motion MM7.8 and urging the Toronto City Council to urgently pass an adequate temperature by-law in the City of Toronto to be implemented before next summer. Extreme indoor temperatures are a serious health risk to low-income tenants. The City of Toronto must take immediate action to ensure that rental units can maintain an indoor temperature of 26 degrees C.
