Civic hacknight #423 - Toronto's Noise Bylaw Review (VIRTUAL)

*This is the virtual registration for this event. To attend in person, please RSVP here.

Update: Due to overwhelming feedback from residents, the City has rescheduled the Noise item to the January 11th meeting of Toronto's Economic and Community Development Committee. Join us to learn about how we sounded the alarm on noise and what we can do to make sure the city wakes up to this public health issue. We'll be joined by Ingrid Buday from No More Noise Toronto. She'll share the latest news from her efforts to track the impacts of urban noise and show how you can get involved -- from deputing at City Council to building your own DIY noise meter!
