“The people shaping Toronto’s future are “white, male homeowners over the age of 55...and youth are particularly underrepresented when it comes to deciding how the city will look and function.””
CivicSpark
Founded in 2015 as a chapter of CivicAction, CivicSpark is an organization dedicated to empowering a new generation of city builders. By providing a non-partisan platform, they will bring together university students across the region and develop creative solutions to real issues being faced by the GTHA.
How?
Each year CivicSpark will host a series of workshops to refine and develop competitor's skills in research, critical analysis, and communication. In addition, we will connect competitor's to institutions across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors.
