TEDxToronto Salon 2: The Citizen

TEDxToronto presents the second of its all-new TEDxToronto Salon Series.

Theme: The Citizen

“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.”
— Jane Jacobs

TEDxToronto has aligned with a Toronto Jane’s Walk – Regent Park Revitalized (http://janeswalk.net/walks/view/regent_park_revitalization1/) – to bring you an afternoon of discovery and conversation featuring some of TEDxToronto’s most inspiring minds.

We encourage you to join the neighbourhood walk which departs anytime between 11:00AM and 12:00PM. Just click here for details (http://janeswalk.net/walks/view/regent_park_revitalization1/). This walk will provide the context for the TEDxToronto Salon discussion that will follow.
