Petition message

Dear Toronto City Council,

I believe that strong recreational programming is crucial to the health and well-being of our communities.

Toronto's recreation programs help our children grow, our youth learn important life skills, and reduce isolation amongst our senior citizens. They help promote newcomer integration and help reduce financial pressures on low-income families.

However, many individuals and families do not have access to the recreation programs they need to live healthy lives and participate fully in their communities.  Increasing our investment and expanding the City’s recreation programs would help youth to be more engaged in their communities, provide valuable opportunities for seniors to become or remain involved, and support newcomer families wanting to integrate into their neighbourhoods.

City recreational programming is a sound financial use of our taxes – for every dollar invested in physical activity, there is a long-term savings of $11 in social, police and health services.

I therefore urge you to support significantly increased investment in  better, more accessible, community recreation programming, starting in the 2013 budget.
