Our leaders

Building Blocks leader collage

Program leaders are a diverse group committed to engaging residents in finding solutions to local challenges. Each leader brings a wealth of experience, a passion for action and embraces all forms of diversity as a value. Leaders will provide a civic literacy primer to 900 in the Greater Toronto Region on how governments make decisions and how to make an impact on those decisions.

Together, they will lead local collaborations to address challenges collectively identified in their communities.
