Commitment 2 Community is a loosely woven together coalition focused on improving life for all who live in Toronto. In July City Council approved the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy and now it is being prepared for final approval in November. Now is the time for individuals to make their voices heard:
- Contact your Councillor by telephone, e-mail or in person. Contact Sean Meagher at sean@publicinterest.caif you are interested in attending a councillor meeting. Tell your councillor: “Please make the PRS a priority and vote to support the Final PRS in November” and add an issue that is of concern to you and your community (e.g. Affordable housing, food security, transit, city services, jobs) If you don’t know who your councilor is, look here
- Deputation Training: Thursday, September 3rd, 2015. Location and registration details to be announced soon. This training prepares you to speak in person at upcoming meetings of council and its various standing committees.
