This fall, Karen Stintz, former Toronto City Councillor & TTC Chair, political commentator and author of "Beyond Good Enough: Toronto and the Crisis of Urban Complacency" takes her conversation about Toronto on the road with Let’s Talk, Toronto — The Six Torontos Tour.

More than 25 years after amalgamation, Toronto remains a city of distinct communities, each with its own history, character and identity. This six-stop conversations tour visits the former municipalities of Etobicoke, York, North York, East York, Scarborough and the former City of Toronto to explore what makes each part of the city unique and what its experience can tell us about Toronto as a whole.

At each stop, Karen will be joined by special guests and local voices for an engaging conversation about the challenges, opportunities and possibilities shaping Toronto’s future.

Whether you’re a lifelong Torontonian or simply curious about how the city has evolved, Let’s Talk, Toronto is an invitation to come together, share perspectives and imagine what comes next.
