Priority to Strengthen Neighbourhoods

Challenges

Many of Toronto’s neighbourhoods are faring more poorly than others and face challenges of:

  • Concentrated poverty

  • High rates of unemployment and under-employment among recent immigrants and youth

  • Gun violence
Strengthening these neighbourhoods and addressing their challenges will require both innovative approaches and new investments.
