City Council needs to hear from renters about this year’s budget! Every year the City goes through a budget process to determine its priorities for the over 3 million people living in Toronto.  The City Budget will determine how much funding goes towards important city services and programs, such as housing.

Renters in Toronto are facing many challenges – evictions, renovictions, rent increases, poor housing conditions, etc. If you are a renter interested in tackling the housing crisis in our city, the time to take action is now!

About the Workshop:

This free, virtual workshop give you the tools to take action for this year’s City Budget process and will focus on the role that the city can take in addressing the housing crisis, featuring presentations from expert housing organizations. We will share tips and messages you can use to make strong presentations (deputations) and letters on housing matters that impact you and your community. We will also share information on how to register to speak or submit your deputation to the City’s Budget Committee on January 21and 22.

Renters have a lot of strength in numbers, so please invite your friends and neighbours out to this workshop! Register below to secure your spot.
