Global events - from pandemics, war, and foodborne illnesses - have threatened farmers' livelihoods, created supermarket shortages, and revealed to consumers that our food system is broken.

Meet Nancy Matsumoto, author of Reaping What She Sows: How Women Are Rebuilding Our Broken Food System, who will introduce her book and highlight Toronto women changemakers building up local and regional supply chains to combat the destructive effects of Big Food.

Drop by, make some poster art, and help get out the vote. Posters are a powerful tool to mobilize the public, and we'll be displaying them around the community in the lead-up to election day on October 26th. SNACKS, PRIZES & TAKE-HOME ZINES. Plus lots of information for new voters about getting ready to vote and having your say on the issues that matter to you, like transit, housing, parks, and climate resiliency.

This event is for everyone, but especially new voters. Getting out the vote is an important way to drive climate leadership because only 29.7% of those eligible voted in the 2022 election and younger voters vote for climate action at higher rates than older adults.

Organizer: Riverdale Heat Pump Help

Most homeowners aren't taught that their ductwork degrades over time! So when their HVAC equipment isn't keeping them comfortable, they end up pointing the finger at the wrong place. Their equipment is fine. It's their leaky ducts that are spilling all the warm or cool air out into the walls instead of carrying it throughout the house.

What does it look like to care for a living planet when art, science, technology & ancestral knowledge tell different parts of the story?

Join immersive artist Faisal Anwar for a conversation about climate memory, ecological change and the possibilities of art to connect knowledge systems—and rethink our relationship with Earth’s living systems.

What can hybrid art reveal about climate change that data and tech alone cannot? How might we bring different knowledge systems into dialogue? And what does climate care look like when cultural memory, scientific research and lived experience meet?

Organizer: Gil Penalosa

What we eat is shaped by more than personal preference, nutrition knowledge, or price. The design of our neighborhoods—where food is available and visible, how safely and comfortably we can reach it, and whether public spaces support gathering and eating together—also influences our daily food choices. This webinar introduces the Thriving Foodscapes Approach, developed by Gehl and Cities for Better Health. Through examples from cities around the world, we will explore how food places, public space, and public life intersect—and how you can uncover the barriers people face in establishing healthy food routines. Participants will learn how these insights can inspire practical changes to public space, programs, and policies that make healthier, more sustainable choices easier and more equitable.

Organizer: Migrant Rights Network

Migrants make Canada work. We care for children and elders, grow food, build homes, and keep communities running.

But the government is pushing migrants out instead of giving people equal rights. Permits are expiring, being refused, cancelled, or made impossible to renew. Refugees are under attack. People are being deported. Families are being separated. Those who remain are forced to work with fewer rights and more fear.

At the same time, working class people are being squeezed by high rents, low wages, service cuts, and insecurity. Migrants are being blamed for a crisis created by underfunding, privatization, corporate greed, and governments that put the rich first.

Blaming migrants does not lower rents, raise wages, or fix healthcare. It divides workers and lets bosses, landlords, corporations, and governments off the hook. Migrants are not the cause of the crisis. Migrants are part of the solution.

This fall, the federal government is deciding the future of immigration: who gets permanent residency, who remains temporary, and who is pushed out.
