TCAN Survey

The City's survey has a particular focus that might not be broad enough. So Toronto Climate Action Network (TCAN) has developed a second survey to tease out what residents think the City should do to respond to the Climate Crisis. Please respond to it with your big bold ideas!

TCAN SURVEY

Wards Project

Want to get active in your ward? Together, ClimateFast and TCAN are building teams of motivated climate advocates at the community level in as many wards as possible. The initial goal is to set up a meeting with your local councillor to let them know you support TransformTO and that you are concerned about the Climate Crisis. It's not too late to get involved - sign up below!
