Since 2003, the Mayors’ Megawatt Challenge has been bringing together leading municipalities to achieve exceptional levels of energy and environmental performance in municipal facilities.
In 2011 the program went national with the Town Hall Challenge, which engaged cities and towns from eight provinces in identifying and recognizing some of the most energy efficient buildings in Canada. This national expansion has broadened the reach and added substantially to the range of benchmarking, best practices and experience with all types of municipal facilities and energy and environmental issues which is shared among the member municipalities.
The Mayors’ Megawatt Challenge is a program of The Living City, and is delivered by Toronto & Region Conservation.
