BOARD OF DIRECTORS STAFF INTERNS


The past fiscal year was a significant period of organizational capacity-building and expansion of Pollution Probe’s network of collaborating experts and organizations. Our leadership in accelerating the deployment of innovative, environmental technologies culminated in securing new, substantial federal funding through the Government of Canada’s ecoENERGy Innovation Initiative. This enabled Pollution Probe to lead the development of a national electric vehicle deployment strategy in collaboration with several power distribution utilities serving urban municipalities across Canada as well as with local universities and colleges, and a diverse range of other stakeholders.

Pollution Probe also led the development of a new national platform for collaborative learning on energy systems. Known as Energy Exchange, this newly established entity will support and enrich current efforts among organizations across Canada to measurably improve energy systems awareness and understanding, and serve to mobilize Pollution Probe’s expanding educational content on the subject.

These types of initiatives serve as crucial tools for building the social and knowledge infrastructure that Canada needs to navigate the fundamental energy systems transitions that are underway globally. The decisions that Canada makes about energy resources development and technology investments will determine, in large part, the scope of opportunity that we bestow on the next generation of Canadians. Pollution Probe is focused on ensuring that the outcomes of these decisions are environmentally enriching.

Therefore, I am pleased to introduce this annual report, as it illustrates how positive trends in organizational depth, market impact and financial health, which were established by Pollution Probe in previous fiscal years, continue to strengthen and gain momentum.

More than ever, I am confident of Pollution Probe’s ability to engage our nations’ leaders—in both the public and private sectors—in collaborative efforts to build a brighter and healthier future for all Canadians. Thank you for your support!

RESEARCH

The Great Lakes Primer described the range of environmental challenges facing the Great Lakes, such as Lake Erie’s near-death experience resulting from phosphorus contamination.

The Smog Primer helped build public understanding of the sources of smog pollutants, their effects on human health and strategies for reduction.

The Primer on Toxic Substances discussed how toxic substances are identified, their potential effects on human health and the environment, and possible sources of exposure.

1986 2002 2012

POllutiOn PrObe aCHieVeMents:

Since the organization’s inception in

1969, Pollution Probe has been defining

Canada’s environmental problems through

original and thought-provoking research.

This fair-minded, non-partisan, independent

and results-oriented research provides

Canadians with the vital environmental

knowledge that they seek and has formed

the basis of Pollution Probe’s programming

and policy advocacy for decades.


electric VehiclesresearCH

eleCtriC VeHiCles:

The global popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise. Along with this growing market share comes an increasing potential for strain on local electricity distribution systems as they strive to meet the demand for electricity to charge EVs. In response to these challenges, Pollution Probe piloted the electric Mobility adoption and Prediction (eMaP) project in the City of Toronto and published the key findings of the pilot project in January 2014. Information about obtaining the report can be found on Pollution Probe’s website at www.pollutionprobe.org.

In addition to characterizing early adopter communities, the eMaP methodology provides strategies for effectively mitigating the risks for the electricity grid of large-scale EV adoption and shows how these risks can be turned into cost advantages for both the utility company and the consumer. The success of the eMaP Toronto research has led Pollution Probe to partner with additional Canadian municipalities (Ottawa; hamilton and St. Catharines; London; Markham, Richmond hill and Vaughan; and Calgary and Edmonton) to conduct further EMAP studies.

Research points to EV technology

having the potential to significantly

decrease greenhouse gas emissions

from the transportation sector.

EV use can also help avoid ocean

acidification, significantly improve

air quality by displacing the burning

of gasoline and diesel, and decrease

noise in urban areas.


additional Work on eVsresearCH

additiOnal WOrk On eVs:

In June 2013, Pollution Probe released its final report on Project eVan (electric Vehicle analysis): business Case for electric Vehicle use in service Vehicle Fleets. Developed in conjunction with Fleet Challenge Ontario and CrossChasm Technologies, this project demonstrates the importance of establishing a business case for electric vehicle procurement in public and private sector fleets.

The conclusion that can clearly be drawn from the cases examined in Project EVAN is that the environmental objectives of fleet owners need not run counter to the financial realities of the fleet manager’s budget. The key advice from the project for fleet owners is simple: don’t guess. Measure; then decide. The report can be found on Pollution Probe’s website at www.pollutionprobe.org.

“ Pollution Probe and Environment

Canada have a strong working

relationship on environmental issues

facing the transportation sector,“

said Peter Kent, Canada’s former

Minister of the Environment.

“We are pleased to support Pollution

Probe and hope to continue our

dialogue well into the future.“


energy from WasteresearCH

Many jurisdictions around the world are embracing energy

from waste technologies as a means to capture the full value

of material resources, minimize landfilling, reduce greenhouse

gas emissions, and spur technological innovations that

enhance sustainable modes of production and consumption.

energy FrOM Waste:

As part of a federally funded climate change initiative, Pollution Probe has collaborated with Queen’s University on research into using energy from waste in Ontario’s cement sector. One of the outputs of this research is a report, completed in March 2014, documenting that the environmental impact of producing energy from certain waste streams is less than that of using coal and petroleum coke to power cement manufacturing.

This research builds on Pollution Probe’s past work in developing recycling programs and engaging with industry to demonstrate that minimizing waste can be profitable. Building further on this work, Pollution Probe is currently developing a framework for establishing a national waste management program.

EDUCATION

The “DO IT” campaign brought environmental issues into the classroom by arming teachers and students with educational material so that they could work together on projects dealing with air and water pollution, noise, litter and pesticides.

For 15 years following its launch in 1978, the Probe Post was Canada’s premier environmental journal, covering day-to-day issues and larger trends. It was read by more than 31,000 subscribers.

Pollution Probe participated in Shell’s Smarter Driver Challenge, aimed at achieving the most fuel-efficient drive across Canada. Members of the public in halifax, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver had an opportunity to learn about fuel-saving driving techniques during the campaign.

1970 1978 2012


Defining Canada’s environmental

problems is just one aspect

of Pollution Probe’s national work.

Research and knowledge must

be mobilized, and so Pollution Probe

also works to promote an

understanding of environmental

problems through a focus on education.


evolution to energy exchangeeduCatiOn

eVOlutiOn tO energy exCHange:

In a keynote address at the 2013 Canadian Knowledge Mobilization Forum, Pollution Probe’s CEO Bob Oliver shared his thoughts on Pollution Probe’s primer series, a group of publications developed to create greater public awareness of environmental issues: “The primers had good quality content, but so what?” he said. Pollution Probe was rarely able to go beyond publication and incorporate knowledge mobilization techniques for greater knowledge exchange—until now.

The next step in Pollution Probe’s evolution is a move away from an exclusive focus on developing content such as the primers and toward the creation of a new platform for social engagement. This platform is Pollution Probe’s Energy Exchange.

Energy Exchange places energy literacy at the core of a sustainable future for Canada. It is committed to fostering an energy culture that will ensure that Canada’s immense and varied energy wealth is used to build a rich and diversified economy and a vibrant and prosperous society.

Energy Exchange is founded on the principle that energy literacy creates energy opportunities. By improving energy literacy, Energy Exchange contributes tangibly to important change in Canada’s energy reality.

“ Energy Exchange creates

the capacity to respond

to the energy needs of the

nation and the capacity to

mobilize it,” said Bob Oliver,

CEO of Pollution Probe.

ENGAGEMENT

A media campaign that began as an initiative to inform over 12 million Canadians about the harmful effects of smog and practical ways to reduce it was transformed into the Clean Air Commute™. Every year for over 20 years, the program has registered more than 650 workplaces.

Pollution Probe brought together 160 experts and stakeholders to share information and raise awareness about the implications of climate change. The proceedings were published in the report Climate Variability, Atmospheric Change and Human Health.

Pollution Probe convened a meeting of top experts and researchers on vehicle technology and fuel efficiency policy. The objectives of the meeting were to identify the most effective options for structuring a fuel efficiency standard for Canada.

1993 1997 2007POllutiOn PrObe aCHieVeMents:

In the quest to develop

environmental solutions, Pollution

Probe is seen as both a trusted

convener of environmental

professionals and a credible partner

with government and industry.


expert roundtableengageMent

exPert rOundtable On eMerging teCHnOlOgies in HeaVy-duty VeHiCles:

On February 11, 2014, Pollution Probe convened an Expert Roundtable on Emerging Technologies in heavy-Duty Vehicles (hDVs) at the MaRS Discovery District in downtown Toronto. The roundtable brought together thirteen of the world’s foremost experts in hDV technologies from academia, industry,

government and the not-for-profit sector, including two representatives from Environment Canada.

Pollution Probe moderated the day-long event, which consisted primarily of free-flowing dialogue between the invited experts, touching on key topics such as engine efficiency.

In 2009, heavy trucks, both

on-road and off-road, accounted

for 12 per cent of Canada’s

transportation-related emissions,

with significant increases in total

emissions from 1990 levels.

According to Natural Resources

Canada, transportation emissions

account for a total of 37 per cent

of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.

2013 Clean air COMMute™

Reduce Traffic Congestion June 17 to 23, 2013:

Pollution Probe’s Clean Air Commute™ is a week-long, friendly competition among workplaces that encourages commuters to choose more sustainable modes of transportation rather than driving to work alone. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion and to improve local air quality.

Thanks to our sponsors and participating workplaces, the 2013 Clean Air Commute™ was an unqualified success. By taking steps to improve air quality and reduce traffic congestion, we also made employees healthier, created a community of sustainable commuters and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Clean Air Commute™ by the numbers:

· Avoided emissions of 380 tonnes of CO

2 equivalent or 161,263 litres

of gasoline

· Nearly 16,000 participants registered from across Canada, with 272 workplaces signed up from 114 participating organizations

· 22 amazing prizes for participants and workplace coordinators

· 50,000 visits to cleanaircommute.ca, including 25,000 unique visitors and 375,000 page views

· More than 400 Twitter mentions

· A dedicated group of 169 volunteer workplace coordinators and 11 Smart Commute Transportation Management Associations (TMAs)

Ever since a media campaign

informing Canadians about the

harmful effects of smog and

practical ways to reduce it was

transformed into the Clean Air

Commute™, Pollution Probe

has been encouraging commuters

to choose more sustainable

modes of transportation. For

21 years, Pollution Probe

has helped commuters reduce

traffic congestion and improve

local air quality through this

annual competition.

“ That‘s what the Clean Air Commute™ is all

about—experiencing and understanding the

benefits of cleaner, healthier ways to travel,“

said Bob Oliver, CEO of Pollution Probe.

2013 Pollution Probe galaengageMent

2013 POllutiOn PrObe gala

Come Together —November 19, 2013 Royal york hotel, Toronto:

The Pollution Probe Annual Gala is more than a fundraising event. Senior leaders and professionals from industry, government, academia and civil society convene each November in Toronto to network and to celebrate our collective successes in achieving positive, tangible environmental change and sustainable development in Canada.

An important part of the Gala is the presentation of the annual Pollution Probe Award. Established in 2011, the award celebrates extraordinary achievement by individuals or organizations working toward positive, tangible

environmental change and exemplifying in their work the values espoused by Pollution Probe. The 2013 award recipient was Col. Chris hadfield, O.Ont, MSC, CD.

The 2013 Gala, entitled Come Together, was dedicated to the importance of being inclusive. Col. hadfield’s post on the International Space Station is emblematic of the kind of collaborative platform Pollution Probe seeks to create in everything it does. his success in connecting with millions of people across Canada and around the world allowed them to share in his experience. This inclusive process of learning and awareness brought people together in a newfound appreciation of the planet.

Each year, Pollution Probe

chooses a theme for the

Annual Gala that reflects one

of our core values: inclusive,

independent, non-partisan,

results-oriented, focused,

evidence-based, learning and

innovative. In 2013, the Gala

celebrated the value of being

inclusive in all that we do:

“ Only when we come together can we build together.”

POLICY

Pollution Probe researched and campaigned for limits on phosphate levels in detergents. This led to phosphate regulation and, eventually, to the Ontario government’s decisionto create the Ministry of the Environment.

Pollution Probe advocated for and helped draft Ontario’s Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR). The EBR ensures that every Ontario resident has the right to comment on pending legislation that would impact the environment in any way. The Act is, to this day, the only piece of legislation of its kind in Canada.

Pollution Probe advocated for the creation of mechanisms to help deploy green power alternatives at the federal level. The federal government went on to announce the ecoEnergy Renewable Power Program, which has invested $1.48 billion to increase Canada’s supply of clean electricity from renewable sources.

1970 1993 2007


Years of pressing for practical

solutions through policy advocacy

has helped Pollution Probe become

one of Canada’s most trusted voices

on environmental policy. Because

we stay true to our organizational

values, this policy work continues

to achieve tangible environmental

change and improve the health and

well-being of Canadians.


environment Canada and Heavy-duty Vehicles

POliCy

enVirOnMent Canada and HeaVy-duty VeHiCles:

The Expert Roundtable on Emerging Technologies in heavy-Duty Vehicles (hDVs), hosted by Pollution Probe, provided policy-makers at Environment Canada with expert insight and advice that will inform the upcoming hDV emissions regulations at the national level. These regulations are intended to significantly reduce emissions from hDVs, which account for a substantial portion of Canada’s transportation-related emissions.

Building on this success, Pollution Probe is beginning to plan the next in what it hopes will be a long series of expert roundtables that will continue to inform and guide transportation policy in Canada, helping to reduce the harmful effects of greenhouse gas emissions.

researCH On energy FrOM Waste:

After extensive research and analysis, Pollution Probe submitted a report on energy from waste in response to the Ontario government’s request

for comments on the proposed Waste Reduction Act and Waste Reduction Strategy. The report provided the public and from the cement and waste management sectors stakeholders with the background information and expert insight that they need to gauge the merits of generating energy from waste.
