The Toronto Civic Literacy Collaborative is a project funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation to mobilize an extensive network of community-based organizations in Toronto. This project engages voters in Toronto in educational activities to raise awareness and promote wider participation in elections and other civic activities over the next two years. It mobilizes an extensive network of over 200 community-based agencies in Toronto, leveraging their existing relationships with hundreds of thousands of Toronto’s aboriginal community members, racialized community members, immigrant community members, and youth who are first-time voters. This project also focuses on people living with low incomes, to deliver community-tailored civic literacy training and resources designed to increase levels of civic engagement, knowledge of government roles, and voter enumeration and participation rates among these target communities.
