Thursday October 17, 6:30 to 8:30pm
Innis Town Hall, University of Toronto, 2 Sussex Ave.
Neighbourhood Change Research Partnership, University of Toronto, Colour of Poverty – Colour of Change
Toronto is a city divided. 25% of its neighbourhoods are dramatically increasing in socio-economic status. In the 40% of neighbourhoods with a population of one million that that are dramatically decreasing, members of racialized communities are overrepresented. The labour market and government policies play a major role.
What role does racism and discrimination in employment, housing, and justice play?
Why is there very little discussion of racism and discrimination in Toronto’s policy debates?
How is neighbourhood inequality in Toronto related to racism and discrimination in employment, housing, and justice?
