Spring Training Series 2024
Important decisions are being made at City Hall about housing, transit, public services, policing, and more—and we want to help you influence their decisions. We know there’s more to do in order to win more investments for the city and push back against conservative interests.
That’s why Progress Toronto is offering 5 free trainings for our 2024 Spring Training Series just for you! Join our training series to learn the skills and tools you need to effectively advocate for a better city. This series’ trainings include Organizing Tenants to Win with the York South—Weston Tenant Union, Community Building in the Inner Suburbs with Scarborough Environmental Association (SEA), and City Hall 101 with Councillor Alejandra Bravo’s Chief of Staff Wyndham Bettencourt-McCarthy. We are also excited to offer our first ever Trivia Night!
We have a lot of fun and useful trainings coming up. Scroll down and click below to find out more and sign up.
We offer our trainings for free so that cost isn’t a barrier. If you can, support our work by chipping in $10 to our Training Fund or by donating when you sign up.
