SUMMARY:2023 City Budget Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:2023 City Budget Town Hall\nMonday\, January 16\, 2023 at 02:00 PM \nZoom\n\n\nJoin Social Planning Toronto and partners on January 16 to hear our analyses of Toronto’s 2023 City Budget. We will talk about what is in the budget and offer insights on its impact on critical programs and services\, then hold a dialogue on collective priorities and action. \nFor decades\, Social Planning Toronto has been offering budget town halls that translate complex budget documents for community organizations\, groups\, and residents so they can more effectively shape the City Budget. With the current state of the city and recent pieces of legislation eroding local democracy\, it is more important than ever that we come together to analyze the proposed budget and discuss what communities need moving forward. \nPlease register to secure your spot for this virtual event. \nIf you require any support (i.e. ASL interpretation) to attend the event\, please contact Jonella Evangelista\, jevangelista@socialplanningtoronto.org

SUMMARY:Amplifying Voices | Parents with Disabilities: Trailblazers Disrupting the Paradigm
DESCRIPTION:Parenting is a funny thing! It brings you down to your knees\, all the while giving you the strength you never have imagined possible. For the second year in a row\, on United Nations’ Global Day of Parents (June 1st\, 2022)\, during Canada’s accessibility week (May 29th to June 4th\, 2022)\, we will be celebrating Parents with Disabilities by hosting an incredible night of speeches and poetry about finding the funny in parenting! \nParenting challenges us in ways we never thought possible. For parents with disabilities\, challenges also come from several systemic disparities\, which include lack of accessible housing and jobs\, poverty\, and facing stigma and attitudinal barriers. This means that we all have those stories of adversities that have made us cry of despair or scream out of frustration. Yet\, in some of those circumstances\, we actually chose to laugh it off even if it was no laughing matter\, in an attempt to have the last laugh! \nSpeaker Slam’s Amplifying Voices’ events aim at changing the narrative\, dispelling stigma all the while highlighting positive representations\, strengths\, and diversity. In order to do that\, we have carefully chosen the ten speakers in order to celebrate diversity and inclusion. \nWhen: June 1st\, 2022\, from 7pm – 10pm EST\, \nRegister for the event on Hopin \nAgenda: \n7:00 pm – Join us on Hopin for networking. \n7:30 pm – Show Begins \n9:20 pm – Final Remarks \n9:30 pm – Stick around and network with our amazing community \n  \nFollow @amplifyingvoices on Instagram for more info
