The goal of each discussion is to produce a series of actionable items that will identify immediate steps and set the stage for the future. Many great initiatives in this City were inspired by discussions designed to facilitate new thinking - the design review panel, and the midrise guidelines, for example. These roundtables build on that legacy and tradition of bringing a variety of voices and perspectives together to drive new approaches forward.
"It is my hope that the roundtables become a regular avenue for stimulating discussions on important city building issues facing Toronto," said Jennifer Keesmaat. "Although we have selected the first three topics, I will look to the citizens of Toronto to help us identify future discussion areas."
Upcoming Roundtables:
March 5: The Resilient City
April 2: Transforming the Suburbs
All roundtable sessions run from 9 a.m. to noon and take place in committee room 2, second floor, City Hall, 100 Queen St. W. All sessions are open to the public and media.
