A smart city uses data to improve how it operates and shares information, to provide a better quality of life to its citizens. With strong data, decision makers can have the information they need to make solid investments in their services, focusing on the areas that need it most. Economic development and strategic planning can be aimed at resilience preparedness, climate mitigation, clean transit, and affordable housing, to create more sustainable cities.

Environmental Technology Verification
Environmental issues such as climate change, air quality, clean water and clean soil create challenges for countries around the world, including Canada. Innovative technologies and products can help address some of these challenges by reducing pollutants and emissions. Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) helps demonstrate these products live up to their performance claims.
ETV and clean technology
From dust control to bio-hazardous waste treatment, learn how ETV supports Canada’s clean tech industry.
ETV helps Toronto breathe easier
When the City of Toronto learned that poor air quality was posing serious health risks to its residents, it decided to use Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) to ensure that new street sweepers could remove as much fine road dust as their manufacturers claimed.
