MESSAGE
FROM
THE CHIEF
EXECUTIVE
OFFICER
The 2014-2015 fiscal year was a milestone for Pollution
Probe – in every sense of the word.
In an operational sense, the organization achieved historic
levels of financial stability, capacity and human talent.
As a result, new funding raised by the organization will be
more effectively and productively applied to advancing
the cause for which Pollution Probe was originally founded:
to improve human health and well-being through policy
that results in positive, tangible environmental change.
Strategically, the principal domains of Pollution Probe’s
influence and expertise became more clearly delineated
over the past year: sustainable transportation systems,
energy literacy, and a newly launched program focused
on human health.
On transportation, for example, Pollution Probe’s
ground-breaking research program on electric vehicles
has been driving a fundamental rethink of how this
new technology should be integrated into the existing
energy infrastructure to achieve net benefits in terms
of air quality and climate change. At the same time, our
efforts to measurably improve energy literacy in Canada
expanded significantly under the Energy Exchange brand.
But perhaps most exciting is the addition of the new
Human Health Program. Drawing on Pollution Probe’s
balanced and proven approach to research, education
and policy development, this new program will focus
on the environmental determinants of human health,
including emerging issues in toxicology and ecosystem
management. Central to this program is a new
public engagement initiative – the Healthy Communities
Campaign – that will promote understanding of
the linkages between environmental health and human
health, with a special focus on actions that can be taken
to safeguard children’s developmental health.
The new Human Health Program rounds out Pollution
Probe’s ongoing, established areas of work on
transportation and energy. It also represents a return
to our roots, taking action on environmental issues
that touch people where they live – in their homes, places
of work and within their communities. Expect to hear much
more about this program in the year to come!
Not since the early days of Pollution Probe more than
45 years ago has the world seemed as poised as it is
now for an environmental renaissance. I believe that in
the next two decades we will experience fundamental
changes in policies and practices that will put us on the
path to a decarbonized global economy. And I believe
that we will also see an emerging recognition of how
new toxic substances in the environment are substantially
contributing to the rise in chronic disease, requiring
innovative approaches to chemicals management. Pollution
Probe’s key program areas perfectly position it to play
an instrumental role in advancing the interests of
Canadian society as this seismic global shift takes hold.
Your generous and enlightened support of Pollution
Probe is making all of this possible. On behalf of today’s
generation and of the generations of Canadians yet to
come, thank you!

THE FIRST
GREEN WAVE
Did you know that Pollution Probe was founded at the
University of Toronto in 1969, and that it played a key
role in the development of environmental activism in
Ontario and across Canada? This story is told in Ryan
O’Connor’s recently released book, The First Green Wave:
Pollution Probe and the Origins of Environmental Activism
in Ontario (UBC Press). Based on sixty-seven interviews
and extensive archival research, this book examines the
development of the environmental activist community
in Toronto, beginning with the broadcast of The Air of
Death, a documentary about air pollution, on the CBC
in 1967, through the restructuring of the environmental
movement in the 1980s. Administrative support for the
book was provided by the Pollution Probe Foundation. For
more information about The First Green Wave, including
how you can purchase a copy, visit ryanoconnor.ca.
“Ryan O’Connor has not only captured the facts
regarding the early modern environmental
movement in Canada, but the spirit of those days
as well .... A breezy read, for seminal times.”
– Monte Hummel, OC, President Emeritus, World Wildlife
Fund Canada
“Canada’s environmental movement has a rich
and significant history but has very few historians
who have taken the time to chronicle and
preserve that history. In this lively account, Ryan
O’Connor has contributed enormously toward
remedying that gap. Pollution Probe was one
of the very first of Canada’s environmental
groups. Those early activists charted a course
that many still follow – and more should.”
– Elizabeth May, OC, Leader of the Green Party of Canada

Consider that it is projected that by 2030, 60% of
the global population will dwell in cities. Simply making
cars more energy efficient and building more public
transit will not be enough to address the sustainability
of transportation in the 21st century.
2014 April–2015 March. EMAP studies and reports
were completed for the utilities serving Ottawa, London,
Hamilton and St. Catharines, Markham, Richmond Hill
and Vaughan, and Calgary and Edmonton. As a result,
those municipalities received information they need to
prepare their grids for the increased integration of electric
vehicles (EVs) in the coming years.
2015 January. Pollution Probe and Hydro Ottawa are
pleased to announce the release of Electric Mobility
Adoption and Prediction (EMAP) – Ottawa, a major new
report on the use of electric vehicle technology in Ottawa.
RESEARCH
RESEARCH Electric Mobility Adoption and Prediction
(EMAP)
Pollution Probe partnered with five
local utility companies serving nine
participating municipalities across
Canada to conduct EMAP research.
Electric Mobility Adoption and Prediction (EMAP)
“Hydro Ottawa is proud to have completed
this innovative and in-depth project that
will be increasingly valuable as the popularity
of these vehicles continues to grow,” said
Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive
Officer, Hydro Ottawa.
“Our Government is investing in clean energy
projects that create high-quality jobs for
Canadians while helping protect the environment,”
said the Honourable Greg Rickford, Canada’s
Minister of Natural Resources. “The research
and development generated by this project
will help drive energy innovation and economic
growth in Ottawa.”

Adoption of Fuel-Saving Technologies
in the Freight Sector
RESEARCH
2014 July–December. The International Council on Clean
Transportation (ICCT) and Pollution Probe collaborated
on a study to better understand the costs, performance
levels, and current adoption rates of fuel-saving
technologies for trailers in the Canadian trucking sector.
Globally, the on-road freight sector is responsible for a
growing share of the fuel consumption and greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector.
Various studies suggest that in the next 10 to 20 years,
heavy-duty vehicles will overtake passenger cars as the
leading contributor of climate-forcing emissions from
transportation worldwide.
This study compiled compelling data from in-depth
interviews with Canadian trucking sector leaders that will
help to make the business case for the broader adoption
of fuel-saving technologies for trailers.
“This research has a pivotal role as policy-makers in
the US and Canada assess the extent to which
a greenhouse gas regulatory program for trailers
can accelerate the deployment of proven cost-
effective technologies for trailers and incentivize
the development of future generations of products
for improved efficiency,” said Ben Sharpe, Senior
Researcher and Canada Lead at the ICCT.
Adoption of Fuel-Saving Technologies in the Freight Sector

Finding Worth in WasteRESEARCH
2014 April–August. The recovery of energy from
waste, using modern technologies, will have positive
environmental and economic impacts across Ontario’s
cement sector and will help the province become
a hub for sustainable development and cutting-edge
approaches to waste management.
Pollution Probe’s Report on Energy from Waste in
Ontario’s Cement Sector: Finding Worth in Waste urges
the Government of Ontario to consider energy from
waste as an option for cement producers to help meet
the province’s waste diversion ambitions while ensuring
stringent environmental protection and maintaining
the priorities of waste reduction at the source, material
reuse and recycling.
Finding Worth in Waste

Energy ExchangeEDUCATION
Energy Exchange began operations in 2014. Dedicated
staff and a network of experts worked together to
develop the key initiatives that will form the foundation
of Energy Exchange‘s ongoing success in measuring
energy literacy levels among priority audiences across
Canada and designing effective learning experiences
that enhance energy systems understanding. Foremost
among these initiatives was a comprehensive survey
of Canadians, conducted in collaboration with the
University of New Brunswick, Cornell University and the
University of Alberta, to baseline energy literacy levels.
As well, a series of consultative forums with decision-
makers in federal, provincial and municipal governments,
as well as from Canada’s manufacturing sector, were
held to identify and evaluate the nation’s most urgent
energy literacy needs.
The volunteer Learning Council, central to the governance
of Energy Exchange, was also established this fiscal year.
2014 November. Pollution Probe and Student Energy,
an organization focused on energy literacy and based in
Calgary, signed a memorandum of understanding to work
together toward a shared goal of measurably improving
the energy literacy of all Canadians.
EDUCATION
“We truly believe that given energy’s
importance for prosperity and quality
of life, the public benefits greatly
from an enhanced understanding
of energy systems, challenges and
opportunities,” said Kali Taylor, Executive
Director of Student Energy. “Together,
we can achieve far more than we ever
could apart, and this is why we
are thrilled to collaborate with Pollution
Probe. We want to push the needle
on energy literacy.”
Energy Exchange

EDUCATION Energy Exchange Magazine

New Government RegulationsPOLICY
2014 September. Pollution Probe applauds the
Government of Canada for announcing new clean
fuel and clean vehicle regulations. Building on
existing rules that limit and reduce vehicle emissions
that contribute to climate change and air pollution,
the new regulations set an aggressive pace for deeper
emissions reductions in the future.
2014 December. Pollution Probe applauds the
Government of Ontario for proposing regulatory changes
to help Ontario’s industrial sector take advantage of
opportunities to reduce the use of coal and petroleum
coke by switching to alternative low-carbon fuels.
Pollution Probe’s Report on Energy from Waste in Ontario’s
Cement Sector: Finding Worth in Waste was submitted
to the Government of Ontario in 2014, and in early
2015 the government announced that it will be going
ahead with legislation that allows the cement sector
to use designated non-recyclable waste streams as fuel
alternatives to coal and petroleum coke.
This is an example of how Pollution Probe works to
support progressive environmental policy development
in Ontario and across Canada.
POLICY
New Government Regulations
“We look forward to continuing to work
with government and industry to support
the implementation of effective policies
that advance sustainable transportation
solutions in Canada.“
