2019 Call for Nominations to the Social Planning Toronto Board of Directors to Fill One Vacancy 

Social Planning Toronto (SPT) is a non-profit, charitable community organization that works to improve equity, social justice, and quality of life in Toronto through community capacity building, community education and advocacy, policy research and analysis, and social reporting.

SPT is governed by a 15-person volunteer Board of Directors who are committed to the purposes and mission of SPT and to the important role of independent community social planning in helping to shape the quality of life for all of Toronto’s residents. There is currently one vacancy on the Board of Directors and SPT is seeking nominations to fill that vacancy. The term runs until May 2020 with re-election at the 2020 AGM.

Social Planning Toronto is looking for a full-time Financial Manager who will be responsible for the overall financial management and accounting of the organization including all the financial transactions involving the General Operations, Special Projects and Projects in Trust funds. He/she will also be responsible for the implementation of systems-level recommendations arising from a recent review of our financial processes and procedures.

Deadline for applications is Wednesday, October 2, 2019.

Today a coalition of more than 70 Toronto community leaders, groups, and organizations urged Mayor John Tory and City Council to demonstrate what it means to build a budget that is for all people, especially the most vulnerable among us.

Did you know that major changes are happening to education in Ontario — including funding cuts, increased class sizes, and mandatory e-learning? Last week, Social Planning Toronto, the Coalition for Alternatives to Streaming in Education (CASE), and Working Women Community Centre hosted a panel to discuss how these changes might impact academic streaming, equity, and the state of public education in Ontario.
