Hi Toronto ONEIG members,

Join us and the David Suzuki Foundations in supporting Reimagining Yonge so we can tackle the climate emergency and save lives.

Toronto City councillors will soon debate Reimagining Yonge, a proposal to change north Yonge from a congested and unsafe highway to a thriving main street that supports walking and cycling.

It’s a great idea but not everyone at city hall likes it. That’s why we need your help!
