Slide 44: A BOLD VISION • Since its inception in 1958, the Toronto Botanical Garden, formerly The Civic Garden Centre, has encouraged, stimulated and educated countless Canadian gardeners. • Almost 50 years later, the Toronto Botanical Garden has expanded its vision and set a goal to become a self-sustaining urban oasis while making Toronto the most horticultural-enlightened city in the world.

Slide 49: WATER EFFICIENCY • Minimized water consumption through the use of low-flow plumbing fixtures with decreased demand for potable water where grey and non-potable water can be utilized (eg. irrigation) • Site landscaping for this building was specifically designed to take advantage of harvested rainwater for landscape irrigation. This system results in significant potable water savings. • Garden roof reduces stormwater runoff from the building and drains to a cistern located to the south-west of the building. Cistern water is used to irrigate the TGB property and its plant species. Compared with a baseline design that meets the Ontario Building Code's water efficiency requirements, this building provides a 21% reduction in annual potable water use. 21% is about the same as 57,141 litres per year, or close to half of the annual consumption of an average Torontonian.
