I signed a TTC Riders petition calling on ward councillors to support priority bus lanes.
What is a Petition?
A public call asking leaders or institutions to take a specific action. Your goal: one clear demand, a strong reason it matters, and enough public support that decision-makers have to pay attention.
For me, signing is one piece of a bigger push - most of the petitions below line up with issues I also worked on directly, through 311 reports, letters to City staff, deputations at City Hall, or my published Toronto Star letters.
What I did
I signed a Progress Toronto petition to Mayor and Ward Councillors calling for 24/7 indoor warming spaces during winter.
I signed a petition to the Ontario Premier opposing the removal of speed cameras.
I signed in support of a stronger climate action plan for Toronto.
I signed a petition supporting 20.5 km of new and upgraded bike lanes under the City's 2025 Cycling Network Plan.
I signed a petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to cancel the Ontario Place deal with Therme Spa.
How you can do it too
- Read the petition carefully and check who it targets and what it asks for.
- Sign with intent - add a short comment if available and stay focused on the issue.
- Share it with context so others understand why it matters and who should act.
