Gas-powered leaf blowers don't belong in neighbourhoods.
If you've ever been startled by the roar of a gas-powered leaf blower you already know the problem.
These machines are:
Loud enough to disrupt your peace, disturb your family, and invade your home.
Polluting the air with toxic exhaust where we live, work, and play.
ENOUGH NOISE.
ENOUGH POLLUTION.
Torontonians are speaking up.
It's time to prohibit gas-powered leaf blowers and accelerate the transition to quieter, cleaner electric equipment.
Toronto can do better. Our neighbourhoods deserve better.

Stand With Us Because
The noxious fumes blasted out pose a real and preventable danger to our health.
Over two hundred cities in Canada and the U.S.A. have prohibited their use.
The high-velocity blast of air strips away critical habitat and may injure insects — including bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
The noise can exceed safe limits for human hearing and can cause permanent hearing loss.

Change your landscaping methods
Switch to quieter, zero-emission electric or manual tools wherever possible. If you have a gardener or work with property management in an apartment/condo, prioritize contractors who use clean equipment or is transitioning away from gas-powered machines.
