KUCHING: The Toronto and Region Conservative Authority (TRCA) extends an offer for collaboration following Sarawak’s impressive conservation plan presentation.
According to a statement on Thursday, the TRCA was impressed with the Sarawak conservation and rehabilitation plan which was shared during the engagement session and would like to collaborate in the implementation of the plan.
Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan, who is currently leading a Sarawak delegation to Canada, visited TRCA on June 12 to benchmark best practices for conservation and rehabilitation of the former sand and gravel mining site.
“TRCA is responsible for conservation and rehabilitation of ecosystems to protect and restore the watersheds of Toronto, adopting an integrated approach by implementing low impact development projects such as conservation parks, sport and recreational facilities through public-private partnership.
“Since 1957, TRCA through the provincial Conservation Authorities Act, has taken action to enhance Ontario’s natural environment and protect land, water and communities from the impacts of flooding and increasingly extreme weather events,” the statement read.
Accompanying the Deputy Premier were Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Urban Development Datuk Len Talif Salleh, and Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier’s Department (Law, MA63, and State-Federal Relations), Datuk Sharifah Hasidah Syed Aman Ghazali and other senior government officials.
