What can you do to go green?​

We engage staff and tenants in our green initiatives. ​​

Please contact the Tenant Support Centre at 416-945-0800 or support@torontoseniorshousing.ca if you are a Toronto Seniors Housing tenant or staff and wish to receive conservation training.

Capital Engagement and Conservation Program (CECP)

There is a Capital Engagement and Conservation Program (CECP) to support tenants through disruptive capital repairs and engage them in conservation activities focused on reducing energy consumption (electricity, water, natural gas) and solid waste.

The program is delivered jointly by Toronto Community Housing’s Facilities Management Division (FM) and Resident and Community Services (RCS) Division. Its goals are to:

  • Reduce impacts of disruptive repairs especially vulnerable tenants
  • Improve tenant comfort and quality of life
  • Reduce TSHC’s utility and waste disposal costs
  • Provide tenants with new employment, job training and networking opportunities

Waste, recycling and organics​

We are committed to significantly raising recycling rates in our communities through waste reduction and diversion, and are currently distributing organic bins to our tenants. We are also working with the City of Toronto to make ongoing improvements to our waste management programs.

Water conservation​

To reduce water consumption, we replace old, inefficient toilets with low flow ones. Replacements are six-litre ultra-low flush toilets that create cost savings.​

Green spaces​

We facilitate the growth of community gardens within our communities. Community gardens provide many benefits to residents, their communities and the environment.

Building Green

We use green standards for all products and services, and are always looking for innovative ways to improve, renew and maintain our housing supply.
