The City of Toronto, in partnership with the Green Living Show, invites residents of Toronto to nominate the companies, organizations and individuals who are helping to green Toronto.
"Torontonians are environmentalists by nature and we should celebrate all those who are making a real difference in our city," said Mayor David Miller.

The Green Toronto Awards ceremony will be hosted by Mayor David Miller, Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone and the world renowned environmentalist and actor Ed Begley, Jr. on April 23, 2009.
At the awards ceremony, which kicks off the Green Living Show, the City of Toronto and The Green Living Show will roll out the green carpet to honour those who have demonstrated outstanding environmental achievement.
