Invest in a Caring City

Great rally at City Hall on February 14! The messages are clear; Toronto needs a budget that represents people’s needs. Deeply affordable housing, health care, support services, accessible transit options and climate action are key. Thank you to all the organizations, activists, volunteers and public who came out today to invest in a caring city for all.
