Advisory Committees

The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø has adopted a consultative approach around the issue of sustainability and climate action. This approach has been critical to engaging stakeholders, such as trustees, Board management, union representatives, teachers, parents, students and community partners. At present, two main platforms allow ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø stakeholders to have a say in environmental policies, plans and projects being implemented at Board level:

Environmental Sustainability Community Advisory Committee (ESCAC)
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø's Environmental Sustainability Community Advisory Committee (ESCAC) is part of a network of community advisory committees and was established in 2010 to help inform the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø's environmental policies and programming.
Membership is open to trustees, Board staff, students, parents and community members.

Joint Management-Labour Environmental Committee (JMLEC)
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø's Joint Management-Labour Environmental Committee (JMLEC) was established in 2018 to leverage the knowledge that ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø workers have of their workplaces and work processes and to link that expertise with the broader knowledge of management.
With membership representing the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation Toronto (OSSTF), the Elementary Teachers of Toronto (ETT), CUPE 4400, the Maintenance and Construction Skilled Trades Council and ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø management, the committee aims to enhance the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø’s environmental sustainability initiatives and to reduce the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø’s greenhouse gas emissions.
