Applications are now open to celebrate the City of Toronto motto “Diversity Our Strength” and foster a greater sense of belonging among all.

StART welcomes and actively seeks out partners for initiatives that support program objectives and works closely with partnership staff in other City divisions and agencies and supports City partnership activities.
