As i was born in Canada and also returned to work there as an adult i am very aware of how forward thinking the Canadians are! As our economy is starting to move again i think we should ensure future developments have green infrastructure installed on them. Take a look at what they have achieved in Toronto!
'Toronto is the first City in North America to have a bylaw to require and govern the construction of green roofs on new development.
