About ABC Toronto

A Better City (ABC) Toronto is a not-for-profit organization of concerned citizens who believe Toronto must become a highly livable city that is the envy of the world.

The City of Toronto is Canada’s economic engine. Our success helps Canada succeed. ABC Toronto advocates for practical solutions to the issues that are holding our city back from its potential, like congestion, community safety, affordability and competitiveness.

By working together, we can make Toronto a place where you can afford to raise a family, with new infrastructure, excellent public services, and an honest and transparent government.
