Mayoral Election Training Series
In an unexpected turn of events, John Tory resigned as mayor in February. This means that there will be a city-wide by-election for Toronto’s new mayor held on Monday, June 26. It's a big opportunity for Toronto to elect a mayor with a powerful, progressive vision for our city. Check out our statement here.
That’s why Progress Toronto is offering free election focused trainings and workshops for our Spring Training Series. Our trainings are happening both online and in-person where you’ll have a chance to practice your skills.
By training up you and hundreds of people across our city we can change the direction our city. Join our training series to learn the skills and tools you need to help a progressive mayoral candidate win. This season’s workshops include building your personal narrative to connect with voters and volunteers, how to get out the vote for a candidate, how to have political conversations with friends and family, and more!
You can sign up for any session and all workshops are free.
We offer our trainings for free so that cost isn’t a barrier. If you can, support our work by chipping in $10 (or any other amount!) to our Training Fund or by donating when you sign up.
