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.
