Toronto CIty Hall - What the candidates aren't talking about

Our Mayoral Health Equity Impact Assessments came out each week in the final lead up to the Toronto 2014 Mayoral election. With these pieces we hoped to provide insight into the important policy issues that impact the health of Torontonians, and asked the question, What do our Mayoral candidates have to say about it?

In the last instalment, we highlighted several important policy issues that have a direct impact on the Health of Torontonians that the candidates weren’t talking about.
