Toronto's Economic Development Strategy

Toronto seems to have a very well developed strategy based on prosperity for all through partnerships between the business, labour and academic communities.

These strategies are:

1. The goverment must be an activist
2. Everyone has a place in the world
3. Must focus on creativity
4. "one-Toronto" : for everyone, by everyone

Toronto's strategy is to build strong partnerships that offer a key coordinated approach to eradicating homelessness. Another key strategy is the Housing First approach with a continum of supports.

Social justice and equality are also key to this strategy.

1. The role of the government is to ensure that everyone has a chance
2. The government developes partnerships with community agencies
3. Prevention

PAYE
The Partnership to Advance Youth Employment is a joint initiative between private sector employers and the City of Toronto to increase access to economic opportunities for youth.
