ABOUT US

The goal of Charter City Toronto is the adoption of a constitutionally protected City Charter for Toronto and other large Ontario municipalities who want one.

A Charter would assign greater autonomy, new sources of revenue and protection from undue provincial interference in local affairs.

We're a group of independent residents of Toronto who believe cities are the most important level of government in our confederation, and that they should be accorded the respect, authority, resources and protection necessary for them to fulfill their responsibilities.
