One of the most effective ways to make change in Toronto is to get in touch with the Mayor and your local councillor. The Mayor and councillors do pay attention to the mail they receive.
Below is a list of the email and Twitter contact information for the Mayor and all Toronto City Councillors. If you don’t know what ward you are in or who your councillor is, you can find out using the City of Toronto website councillor lookup.
When emailing to Elected Officials: (1) Request an action be taken, and a reply. (2) Include your address. (3) Copy info@walktoronto.ca.
If you would like to write to your councillor by traditional mail, you can send it to them care of:
Toronto City Hall
100 Queen Street West
Toronto, ON M5H 2N2
Phoning your councillor’s office can also be effective. Their office phone numbers are listed on their official council page (scroll down for the list of councillors with links to their pages).
If you are Tweeting to your councillor, you can also include a hashtag to share it with others interested in these issues. Some relevant hashtags include:
#accessibility, #AccessibleStreets, #AODA, #AODAFail, #CompleteStreetsTO, #decolonization, #DriverPrivilege, #equity, #indigenous, #justice, #MobilityJustice, #MoveEquity, #PedestriansMatter, #Streets4All, #StreetsForAll, #TOpoli, #TransportationJustice, #TransportJustice, #VisionZero, #walking, #walkTO, #WeAreAllPedestrians, #ZeroVision
