WE need your help

Skyrocketing costs and a growing shortage of housing is making it impossible for the people that power our cities - nurses, teachers, retail and restaurant staff, tradespeople, transit operators, municipal workers, young families, and many more - to stay.

Your mission - should you choose to accept it - is to join a growing cadre of corporate, nonprofit, government and community leaders, and residents like you, determined to restore affordability to our region.

Land Acknowledgement Statement

CivicAction acknowledges that the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is situated upon traditional and current Indigenous territories that include the Wendat, Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabeg, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. We believe in the spirit of the “Dish with one spoon” concept – that land can be shared to the mutual benefit of all its inhabitants.

Today, the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is still home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island (North America) and we recognize the historical oppression and inequalities that they continue to face.

We also recognize the non-settlers and the dis-planted, such as people of African descent who were brought here forcibly and enslaved and who continue to face oppression and inequality on land that is not their own.

Depending on our ancestry, we each have different relationships to the land on which we live. In our role as a civic convener, and in the spirit of reconciliation, CivicAction is committed to rebuilding and renewing respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, we support Indigenous sovereignty and we support the recommendations of The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
