Civic Engagement

Did you know?

78% of Canadian adults believe that children today will be financially worse off than their parents, up from 66% in 2019. (Pew Research Center)

Locally, nearly 40% of Torontonians report feeling lonely on a regular basis, reflecting a broader erosion of social connection and belonging. (Toronto Foundation)

Who cares about the future?

We do. And we know you do too.

Local decision making has an up close and personal impact on our quality of life. Whether it’s rent or transit, childcare or community safety, parks or pools, residents can have a say in what matters most by telling civic leaders at the ballot box.

So, we’re gearing up for municipal elections this fall, encouraging folks to not miss out on this opportunity:

Sponsoring the Toronto Star’s If I Were Mayor series to fire up our collective imagination about how to make Toronto better.
Launching Voice the Vote, a community-powered civic engagement initiative to address low voter turnout and strengthen civic participation for the long haul.
