Toronto and Region Conservation (TRCA), today released the top 15 most energy efficient town/city halls in Canada from the Town Hall Challenge, an initiative of the Mayors’ Megawatt Challenge, a program managed since 2003 by TRCA.
"City and town halls are at the heart of every municipality, and should be their flagships of sustainability," said Brian Dundas, Coordinator, Mayors’ Megawatt Challenge Program, Toronto and Region Conservation.
