Industry Survey on Methods Used to Prevent and Reduce Pollutant Emissions from Construction and Demolition Activities
C2P2 supported Environment Canada's Construction and Demolition Multi-stakeholder Working Group (C&DWG), which is developing measures that will help to reduce and prevent emissions from the sector and lead to improvements in air quality. C2P2 developed and distributed an industry survey requesting information on methods currently used to prevent and reduce emissions from construction and demolition activities, and C2P2 also compiled and interpreted survey results. Both on-line and hard copy surveys were developed and promoted widely to association and corporate firms from across the country. The target audience for the survey comprised those in the construction and demolition sector including owners, workers or environment, health and safety officers.
Municipal Pesticide Reduction Strategy
In partnership with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the C2P2 developed a national strategy for pesticide reduction at the municipal level. As part of the Strategy implementation phase in consultation with the FCM Pesticide Steering Committee C2P2 developed the Responsible Pest Management web site. The web site, http://www.pestinfo.ca, provides municipal governments and communities with access to information, tools and networks that maximize opportunities for pesticide reduction.
