Here's the full video of former Transit City mayor, David Miller, speaking about transit activism in Toronto

"I love the name. It's not TTC customers. Riders have a right. You've got some right to a say over the TTC. It's our transit system, owned by the people of Toronto."

With that emphatic statement, David Miller capped a fantastic fundraising drive and social event. Many thanks to everyone who came out to our 2015 fundraiser. A special thanks to Mary Breen, our incredible Fundraising Director, for orchestrating the event from start to finish.

A few highlights:

  • The lovely violin music of our TTC busker, Shelley Coopersmith.
  • A spoken word performance about finding and losing love on the TTC by MC Evalyn Parry.
  • Our live auction which generated a variety of surprises and thrills!
  • Guest appearances by Jagmeet Singh MPP Bramalea-Gore-Malton, Arif Virani MP Parkdale - High Park, former MPP Jonah Shein, former city council candidate Dan Fox and many other civic leaders, who came out to show love and solidarity for this movement.
  • An extra special appearance by our Executive Director, and new mom, Jess Bell.
  • Our silent auction full of locally handmade items, many with transit imagery and themes.
  • Spacing's table of transit-inspired buttons, books and magazines.
Here's the full video of the former Transit City mayor, David Miller, speaking passionately about the importance of city building, transit activism and a fair, inclusive public transit system in Toronto for the 21st century.

Toronto has spent years dealing with the consequences of underfunded public transit. Aging infrastructure, delayed repairs and subway slow zones have all placed pressure on a system that millions of Torontonians rely on. These problems cannot be fixed overnight and require sustained investment in the workers, vehicles, tracks and infrastructure that keep transit moving.
