SPT is currently beginning work on a second edition of its guide to community services for non-status newcomers, and is seeking your input and organization information. In order to build upon the number of programs and services that non-status people in the city can access, we would like to include your organization in the second edition of the guide. We would greatly appreciate you completing a brief online survey detailing your work with this population. This is to, above all, ensure the safety of non-status residents and their families.
On Tuesday, March 3, Social Planning Toronto hosted its 2009 Research Roundtable: “Research for Social Change”. The event brought together more than 125 community-based, government and academic researchers, policy analysts and activists to share information on current research initiatives, discuss opportunities for collaboration, and exchange ideas for using research to advance social change and challenge poverty in Ontario. The Roundtable provided an opportunity to share perspectives on poverty-reduction research from our various vantage points – inside and outside of government – broadly focused around Ontario’s Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS).
The SPACE Coalition and Social Planning Toronto are releasing the research bulletin Progress and Pitfalls: A Review of Community Use of Schools & Access to Municipal Spaces.
Join Social Planning Toronto for this exciting forum on Ontario’s upcoming Housing Strategy and how you can make your voice heard for more affordable housing in Ontario.
