Toronto Chapter of the Council of Canadians
Welcome to our website!
The Toronto Chapter was relaunched in November of 2008, and we are involved in various campaign areas that impact the GTA, including Climate Justice, Trade and Water.
Our chapter runs on volunteer energy and we always welcome new faces in our ongoing campaigns or to help out at rallies, outreach efforts and behind the scenes help. In the summer, we continue to host an occasional Saturday morning information booth at Artscape Wychwood Barns farmers market (601 Christie St.), and this is a great way to start volunteering with us.
Each week we distribute email updates on local events and news updates and we’re pleased that this now circulates to 1200+ people. You can receive these securely, as we won’t share your information or clutter up your inbox. To receive these email updates, please email us at torontochapter@gmail.com
We lend our support . . .
In addition to the campaigns that we run throughout the year, we also lend our support to many other groups. The Occupy Movement generated a lot of passion, awareness and action across the globe. It was thrilling to see the ever growing landscape of social movements such as the Quebec student strike, related Casseroles events, Maple Spring and Idle No More. Our chapter proudly supports these movements!
We're also pleased to be part of Common Causes and the People's Social Forum. Both were launched in January 2013, and are a means by which Canadian civil society can unite against the Harper government's agenda. Common Causes, an assembly of social movements dedicated to defending democracy, the environment, and human rights, has already had country-wide events with more being planned. The Peoples' Social Forum which was held in Ottawa, August 21 - 24 2014, was a grassroots horizontal approach to stimulating debate, discussion and furthering our sense of collective action.
