The City of Toronto budget makes important decisions on housing, transit, poverty and mental well-being. The 2025 budget must focus on these issues. Torontonians who are suffering today cannot wait until next year. Read our recommendations. www.wellesleyinstitute.com/publications...

Healthy food is a necessity. In recognizing that governments have to role to play in making essentials like nutritious food affordable, this proposal is a good start.
