The
purpose of the day is two-fold: first, to learn from each other and
experts about the planning process, its flaws, and potential solutions;
and second, to come up with an action plan for change that will engage and involve communities across the city.
The recent Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) approval of 3 large
developments on Queen Street West has been just the latest example of
planning gone awry. Neighbourhoods across Toronto are exasperated with
the City’s dysfunctional planning process and the role of the unelected
OMB.
We need to fight for change, and to make that fight effective, we need to form a broad-based coalition of community groups whose voice cannot be ignored by our political representatives.
Get Involved!
-
Come to the forum on Saturday, May 26, 2007 at the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto, 230 College St. West.
(Registeration is now closed for this event.)
-
Tell us your story. We need your ideas. To help plan for useful discussions, tell us about a development in your area that your community thinks went wrong (or right), and why. Your stories will help us identify key issues and solutions to be discussed at the forum. To make it easier, we’ve developed a short questionnaire that you can access when you register (see the registration link, above).
Help Make Change!
Toronto citizens should have a say in how their communities are planned. Let’s raise our voice, put on the pressure, and work together for a better planning process.
Pass This On!
Please
circulate this information to anyone you think would be interested in
helping change the way planning is done in this city. If we’re going to be effective, we need as many voices from as many different neighbourhoods as possible.
