Subject:
Smog Summit IV - June 20, 2003 (Toronto Metro Hall)
- Signing of the 2003 Inter-governmental Declaration on Clean Air
In June, 2002, Council passed Resolution #92/02 authorizing me to sign the Toronto
Inter-governmental Declaration on Clean Air at the Toronto Third Annual Smog Summit.
That Declaration, signed by representatives from all levels of government,
acknowledged an ongoing commitment to reduce the occurrence of, and health risk
from, air pollution in the Greater Toronto Area. Through signing that Declaration, the
City committed to both joint and individual actions.
Smog Summit IV is taking place June 20, 2003 at Toronto Metro Hall. I am planning on
attending' this event, and have been asked to sign the 2003 Inter-governmental
Declaration on Clean Air on behalf of the City. In doing so, the City publicly
demonstrates our ongoing commitment to reduce air pollution in the GTA, and to
declare new actions we are prepared to undertake to improve air quality in 2003. The
City's past commitments and proposed 2003 commitments are summarized in
Attachment # 1 to this memorandum.
I am therefore requesting Council to adopt the followinq resolution at the June 16, 2003
Council Meeting:
That Council authorize the Mayor to sign the Toronto Inter-
governmental Declaration on Clean Air at the Toronto Fourth Annual
Smog Summit to be held June 20, 2003.
Following Smog Summit III, the City became a member of the Greater Toronto Area
Clean Air Council (GTA-CAC), an inter-governmental working group dedicated to
exploring joint clean air initiatives in the GTA and sharing best practices to reduce air
pollution. Through annual membership on this Council, the City is expected to continue
to be involved in future Smog Summits and commit, on an ongoing basis, to undertake
actions to improve air quality.

approved for "domestic" indoor/outdoor use against "ants, cockroaches and other
crawling insects" has recently come on the market in Canada, namely, "Bug-B-Gon
PureSolutions" supplied by Scott's Green Cross (Reg. No. 18687), and the Scott's
Green Cross formulation contains essentially the same ingredients as Perma-Guard D-
20 which has proven effective against the EAB in a test indoors in Michigan;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and
Canada Forest Service (CFS) be urgently requested, in the public interest, to take the
lead in applying for, processing and obtaining any permits required from PMRA or any
other federal or provincial regulatory agency to allow testing of the DE + natural
pyrethrins formulation known as Perma-Guard D-20 on the Flood woodlot at or before
the height of the EAB mating and egg-laying season in mid-June 2003, together with
testing of any other promising pesticide which might be recommended for use at the
same time on the same woodlot by CFIA and CFS.
