How TRCA STEPs up Sustainable Urban Development

Building safer, healthier, and more resilient communities is a core goal for Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) – one we share with our municipal partners and with stakeholders across many different sectors.

The Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program (STEP) is one of our vehicles for realizing this goal. A multi-agency initiative led by TRCA, Credit Valley Conservation (CVC), and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA), STEP helps to support the implementation of sustainable technologies in a Canadian context.

STEP’s main objective is to encourage wider adoption of technologies and practices that will help to protect water resources and reduce our carbon footprint, which in turn will lead to more sustainable and liveable communities.

A key to making this happen is bringing together leaders in the field – professionals, academics, industry organizations, and representatives from governments and conservation authorities – in ways that foster collaboration, learning, and an exchange of ideas.

That’s where the Source to Stream Conference comes in.
