Spring Training Series 2025
With so much going on in Canadian politics, it can be hard to know where to put your attention and energy. To teach you the skills to meaningfully engage with the political process, Progress Toronto is hosting our 2025 Spring Training Series! Join us to learn important tools, skills, and information to advocate for a better city.
This series’ trainings include How to Knock on Doors, How to Meet with Your Local Politician, and City Council Watch Party. You can also join us for Progress Toronto’s famous City Politics Trivia Night to meet people who care about this city just like you!
