Stepping up for Toronto's Communities

 

A Provincial Election Forum on issues of concern to Toronto's non-profit community sector.

 

Tuesday, September 25, 2007

10:00 AM - 12:00 Noon

Metro Central YMCA Auditorium

20 Grosvenor St., 2nd Floor, Toronto

 

The community non-profit sector in Toronto is comprised of over 2000 organizations and agencies.  It is important because of the wide range of services it provides to residents of Toronto.  It is also a critical sector of our economy, representing 7.4% of Ontario's GDP.  

The Provincial government's role is crucial - in Ontario, 54% of agencies overall revenues come from the Provincial government.  

The Community Social Planning Council of Toronto, in collaboration with a wide range of community organizations, has invited the four main parties to designate their spokesperson on our issues.  Where do the Liberals, Progressive Conservatives, New Democrats, and Greens stand on the issues of vital concern to our community organizations?

 

Moderator:                                         Mario Calla 

(President, CSPC-T, Executive Director COSTI)
