The future of our streets, schools, and safety is in your hands.
Elections are won by those who show up.
In the last municipal election, fewer than 3 in 10 eligible voters cast a ballot.
When turnout is low, the most organized communities decide who wins and who loses.
Will you make your voice heard, or let someone else decide your future?
In close races with low turnout, the difference can be:
- One strong weekend of door-knocking
- A few volunteers mobilizing their networks
- A targeted get-out-the-vote push in one key neighbourhood
That's it.
Not millions of dollars. Not massive rallies.
Just a few committed people showing up to take action.
A few hours of your time is all it takes.
Everyone can make a difference.
- Deliver literature in a key neighbourhood
- Help organize behind the scenes
- Mobilize friends and family
- Speak with voters at their doors

Our next mayor, council, and school trustees will make critical decisions about safety in our streets, what's taught in our schools, and how Toronto responds to hateful extremism.
