The development of Partners in Project Green: A Pearson Eco-Business Zone is the culmination of over a decade of partnership between the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). This partnership began with a mutual understanding and a drive to restore, protect and enhance the region’s natural resources. The founding of conservation authorities in the late 1940s was based on the need to protect and promote Ontario’s resources, but with a clear focus on its related resource economy. The TRCA continues to work with industry leaders to promote green technology adoption as a way to reduce threats to the region’s resources while building a sustainable economy. Meanwhile, Canada’s largest employment area has grown not only around, but as a direct result of, Toronto Pearson International Airport generating a significant economic benefit to the region. Along with the increase in business development, the area’s residential communities have also grown. Recognizing the impact of the airport’s operations, the GTAA promotes environmental stewardship within the communities it serves as a longstanding core mandate. Today, it is with the goal of a sustainable green economy that the GTAA and TRCA launch Partners in Project Green. The project’s vision is to work with local businesses in transforming the lands surrounding Toronto Pearson into an internationally recognized eco-business zone. Our goal is to have the companies recognized globally as the greenest in their sectors, and have the area itself become the first place progressive green-tech companies look to locate. We invite you to take this journey with us and become a partner in Project Green. Work with us to create value for your business, your industry and your community. Together we can make the Greater Toronto Area the greenest place globally to do business. Lloyd McCoomb Brian Denney
