Join us on September 24th at 6:30 PM for the 2026 City for All Community Launch! A coalition of community-based organizations have come together to draft a platform to address the most urgent crises affecting our city. The platform provides specific, implementable policy solutions supported by strong research, evidence, and community support. During this launch, we will summarize the major takeaways from the platform and review resources that we developed to help mobilize it. After registering, the Zoom link to join the event will be emailed to you. If you need any accessibility accommodations, please reach out to us as soon as possible at [email protected]. Please note: This is a free, virtual event and an honorarium will not be provided for attendance.

This event is intended for community leaders and residents who helped shape the City for All platform or want to learn more. If you can’t attend this launch, please visit the City for All website to learn more about our platform and how to get the word out in your community.

Join Social Planning Toronto (SPT) for an interactive workshop on how everyday conversations can help strengthen civic participation in the upcoming 2026 municipal election.

Municipal elections shape many aspects of our daily lives, including housing, public transit, parks and recreation, community safety, and poverty reduction. Yet many people face barriers to participating in the democratic process or may not feel their voices are heard.

This workshop will explore practical and engaging ways to start meaningful conversations about voting with friends, family members, neighbours, and community members. Through interactive demonstrations and real-world examples, participants will learn how community-led outreach and peer-to-peer engagement can encourage greater participation in local elections and help ensure diverse community voices are reflected at the ballot box.

Whether you are new to civic engagement or already active in your community, this workshop will provide tools, ideas, and inspiration to help promote informed and inclusive participation in the democratic process.

Please register to secure your spot and receive the Zoom link to attend. ASL interpretation will be provided.

Join Social Planning Toronto (SPT) for an interactive, non-partisan workshop designed to help residents make informed choices in the upcoming municipal election.

Choosing who to vote for can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when there are multiple candidates, competing priorities, and large amounts of information to navigate. This workshop will provide practical tools and resources to help participants understand candidate platforms, identify issues that matter most to them, and evaluate information from reliable and non-partisan sources.

Participants will learn how to research candidates, compare policy positions, ask meaningful questions, and assess which candidates best align with their values and priorities. Whether you are voting for the first time or looking to become a more informed voter, this workshop will help you approach election day with greater confidence and clarity.
