Toronto Public Health; Parks, Forestry and Recreation; and the Toronto Environment Office developed this soil assessment guide. This document is a decision support tool for municipal staff in assessing the quality of soil, potentially contaminated by prior non-agricultural use, for community and allotment gardens. The guide also identifies the relevant policy contexts, and provides some suggestions for mitigating the impact of prior soil exposure on gardening activities.
