BUILDING MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY IN TORONTO

The Green Line

If you’re struggling to make friends in Toronto, you’re not alone. 🥶 One report says 44% of youth here report feeling lonely. Also, our vibe when it comes to public spaces isn’t the best. It’s almost like our public spaces are designed to discourage…the public. 💀

BUILDING MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY IN TORONTO
We break down why 37 per cent of Torontonians are lonely three to four days of the week and why participation in community-driven spaces is decreasing.
Read our two feature stories by freelance reporter Jay Cockburn. The first explores the important role that religious spaces have in building community for Torontonians — both faithful and secular. The second looks at why Toronto is a city that’s scared of the public using public space.
We’re partnering with St.Stephen-In-The-Fields church to host a community meal and Story Circle in the Kensington-Chinatown neighbourhood. Join us on Nov. 26, 2024 from 6 to 9 p.m. to talk about how to find and build meaningful community in a city that doesn’t stop to connect or even breathe. Dinner and refreshments will be provided, so RSVP before spots fill up!
Coming soon.
