Social Planning Toronto is supporting the vaccine outreach work of Toronto's Community Ambassadors by providing a series of trainings and a space to connect, network, and support each other.
When it comes to COVID, we’re not all equal. The data has made this abundantly clear. So an effective campaign for vaccines requires tailored approaches to engage different communities.
— Councillor Joe Cressy, Chair of the Toronto Board of Health
