About VoteToronto

VoteToronto is an on-going, independent, community-based volunteer organization that is committed to protecting and enhancing Toronto’s quality of life and long term sustainability, by making political processes transparent, encouraging high quality candidates to run for political office on a progressive, community-based platform, and holding politicians at all 3 levels continuously accountable for the long-term good health of Toronto and its residents.

VoteToronto was formed in 2003 by Torontonians who are fed up with backroom dealings at City Hall, which have led to the plan to expand the polluting and money-losing Island Airport, with the computer leasing and Union Station scandals, with cutbacks in community services and with too many Council decisions that favour corporate interests over community needs.

The objective of VoteToronto is to be an independent and authoritative source of election financing and related information. VoteToronto has assembled and published the complete financial declarations made by candidates in the Toronto civic elections of 2000 and 2003, as well as selected municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area for the 2003 civic election.
