Decisions made at City Hall and the Toronto School Board affect lives across Toronto. Many of those decisions are made at committees where the public has an opportunity to speak. That’s why, one way to ensure representatives and the Mayor hear our concerns is by speaking at a committee.

At this workshop you will learn the basics of making a deputation. You will learn a little bit about how to choose which committee to speak at, how to read the committee agenda, how to sign up for a deputation, and how to prepare your deputation (speech). Find out more.

Since we launched this campaign and flooded Ford with messages to stop his child care cuts, he has started to back down for 2020! Use our form now to send a message to Ford, his Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, your MPP, and Toronto City Council today.  Click here to sign the Petition

Child Care in Toronto is already the most expensive in the country [1]. And now, according to a new City of Toronto report, Doug Ford is cutting at least $15 million a year from Toronto child care - which could rise to $49 million a year once much-needed new child care centres are opened. This immediately puts over 700 affordable child care spaces at risk. 

But Ford has backed down on his cuts before after hearing from thousands of people. Use our form now to send a message to Ford, his Minister of Children, Community and Social Services, your MPP, and Toronto City Council today.  Click here to sign the Petition
