People Plan Toronto in partnership with the St. Lawrence Centre Forum presents a series of local forums in Etobicoke, Scarborough, and North Toronto/North York to discuss issues around citizen engagement in the planning process, culminating in a forum at the St. Lawrence Centre on May 29th.  You will hear different perspectives on how community needs and preferences are incorporated into the planning and development of your neighbourhoods.  These summits are for residents, tenants, and business owners who wish to learn more about their neighbourhood, and for those who have knowledge and experience to share.

All events free, everyone welcome!
