Social Planning Toronto offers a roster of speakers who can be contacted to speak pro bono at community events to offer thoughts on election issues or community concerns. These speakers provide a range of knowledge and experience on key election issues that are relevant to communities throughout Toronto.
SPT encourages community groups and organizers to respect the availability of speakers in the roster. When contacting any of the speakers please provide details of your event and other expectations (date, time, location, duration of speech, and other relevant information) to help secure their commitment.
