Toronto Hydro’s President and CEO Anthony Haines has been recognized as a leader in sustainability with an award from the Canadian Electricity Association for his work in making Toronto Hydro a more sustainable organization.

Under Haines’ leadership, we were first recognized as a Sustainable Electricity Company™ by the CEA in 2014.
