Mobilizing For City Action On Poverty
June 13, 2016
Discuss and plan action to ensure the city's financial plan includes investments in jobs, housing, transit and poverty reduction.
Join residents from across Toronto to plan actions to ensure City Hall fulfills its commitment to create good jobs, expand the supply of affordable housing and child care, and implement a low-income transit fare.
Now is a critical time for action: Toronto City Council has started an important debate about how to fund badly needed services - like affordable housing, public transit, child care and recreation.
Some councillors want to continue to cut these services. Others want to explore ways to bring in new revenues to better fund them.
We need to ensure that City Council moves ahead strongly to reduce poverty and invest in services in its 2017 Budget and beyond.
Time: 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Venue: OPSEU Membership Centre
Location: 31 Wellesley E. Toronto, ON
