Tomorrow, the City of Toronto, in partnership with the Chinese Canadian National Council for Social Justice, will officially launch a new “Toronto For All” public education campaign that challenges Toronto residents to speak out against and shut down anti-East Asian hate.
Councillor Lily Cheng (Willowdale) and members of the Community Advisory Council will attend and speak about the new campaign.
Date: Wednesday, November 1
Time: 9 to 9:30 a.m.
Location: Cecil Community Centre, 58 Cecil St.
This is the 14th “Toronto For All” campaign by the City in partnership with various community partners and organizations. The goal of the “Toronto For All” public education initiative is to generate dialogue among Toronto residents to create a city that says “no” to all forms of discrimination and racism. Previous campaigns have focussed on topics including antisemitism, anti-Islamophobia, anti-Black racism and trans youth of colour.
Information and resources about anti-East Asian racism are available on the City’s “Toronto For All” campaign webpage.
Toronto is home to more than three million people whose diversity and experiences make this great city Canada’s leading economic engine and one of the world’s most diverse and livable cities. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture and innovation and climate action, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses.
