The Chinatown Advocacy Network (CAN) is organizing a Chinatown All-Candidates Meeting for University-Rosedale (Ward 11) and Spadina-Fort York (Ward 10) to help us determine: Who are the best defenders of Chinatown?

Through a community priorities survey, we asked residents and community members what issues matter most to them. One overarching theme emerged: Protecting Chinatown from displacement.

Three core issues rose to the top:

Keeping small businesses affordable

Protecting tenants and affordable housing without displacement

Creating more affordable spaces for nonprofits, co-ops, artists, and other community organizations

We’ve invited community experts to speak to these issues and share what’s at stake for Chinatown. Candidates will then have five minutes each to respond to the issues raised and share how they would address them.

Snacks and light refreshments will be provided.
