Hard At Work In The Community
After years of advocacy by our community-labour coalition, the City of Toronto has adopted a new landmark Community Benefits Framework to create more jobs and opportunities for historically disadvantaged communities and equity seeking groups, including local, diverse owned businesses and social enterprises. Learn more about the Framework. Join the movement. Get access to the jobs and opportunities created through community benefits.
The Toronto Community Benefits Network has built a strong community-labour partnership with a support base of workforce development agencies, learning institutions and funders.
Collectively, we are having impact on how the development process works, guided by the principles of the foundation document crafted by our members and supporters. In it, we envision Toronto as an inclusive, thriving city in which all residents have equitable opportunities to contribute to healthy communities and a prospering economy.
The expansion of transit now happening in Toronto will result in opportunities for good jobs and create markets for new businesses. It will also set the conditions for economic growth and intensification of urban areas around a network of mobility hubs. We believe that all Torontonians should have access to these opportunities stemming from infrastructure investments.
