Investing In A Healthy Toronto: A Comparison Of Toronto’s Capital Budget & Plan, 2013-2022

It’s time for a closer look at Toronto’s capital budgets. So many of our city’s most pressing needs can only be addressed through capital budget spending, and while they include transit, they go far beyond it. The need for infrastructure investment is well documented. Investing In A Healthy Toronto: A Comparison of Toronto’s Capital Budgets & Plan, 2003-2022 compares Mayor Ford’s capital budgets over the last three years with capital budgets during the Miller administration and considers Mayor Ford’s plans for the future as laid out in the 2013 budget’s 10-year-capital plan.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
