The Program.
My T.O. in 10
Toronto is undergoing unparalleled growth. And in a post-pandemic world, we need to help youth reimagine what this city can offer its citizens.
My T.O. in 10 builds the new urbanists. In three years, high school youth will vote. In ten years, they will drive the innovation economy.
Ten years is the timeline for transformation. What will their Toronto be like?
My T.O. In 10 is their chance to envision their own city. How they will live and work. How they will cope with the crippling crisis of climate change. How a post-pandemic Toronto will foster personal and professional growth.
This online event – May 11th to June 18th – brings together Toronto’s urban thought leaders - working to build and change Toronto - with students and educators across the city. It provides Toronto’s emerging citizens with a thoughtful voice to affect this transformation.
