Climate Voting Records Toronto (https://votingrecords.climatefast.ca/) is your go-to interactive tool for tracking how Toronto City Council votes on crucial climate and environmental policies. Stay informed, hold the mayor and councillors accountable, and see where they stand on key issues like transit, cycling, food, TransformTO, energy, climate justice, and more. Curious about how this volunteer-led initiative came to life? Dive into the behind-the-scenes story of its creation! The team of volunteers behind the site are passionate about climate action and government transparency. This diverse group includes researchers, data analysts, a UX designer, web developers, policy advocates, and community organizers, all working together to track and present Toronto City Council’s climate-related voting records in an accessible way.
