The City wants to sell out the names of Toronto’s parks, subway stations, and public spaces to big business. Join us at our rally this September to put a stop to it!
Our public spaces reflect the vibrant history and civic identity of the City and they should not be for sale. To send strong message to Council that they should keep their hands off our City’s public spaces and subway stations, we have organized a rally this coming September 6th.
Please plan on attending with a few friends or invite your friends on facebook here. We are asking everyone to wear green in a show of solidarity.
Rally: Tuesday September 6th, 6:30 – 7:30pm Nathan Philips Square (City Hall) in front of the main doors.
• Please wear something green
• Please bring a few friends
• Creative signs are welcome
In the mean time, we urge you to write to your local city Councillor to let them know that our city names are not for sale.
Please download and print (or photocopy to save money) the posters below and post them around your neighbourhood to spread the word. Please remove these posters after the event or 30 days after posting, or let us know where you placed them and we will.

Background:
In June’s Executive Committee meeting, members of council referred the naming and sponsorship issue back to the City Manager for further consideration. The City Manager will report back to the Executive Committee on September 6, 2011, particularly on the policies for street naming and honorifics, and the involvement of Councillors in the process for all the sponsorship and naming rights policies.
