The 2020 Greener City Celebration

The 2020 Greener City Celebration

This year’s virtual event will honour the transformative work happening in Toronto to respond, rebuild, and create a future that is more sustainable and just.

This year has been a time of upheaval and change. It has also been a time of incredible re-envisioning and re-imagining of the future of our city. We’ll shine a spotlight on the organizing and visioning happening in Toronto, highlighting the contributions of workers, community organizers and movement leaders.

As with the Greener City Celebration in past years, we’ll be joined by special guests, entertainers, community partners and collaborators. 

Hosted by Ali Hassan 

Once again, our host will be Canadian comedian Ali Hassan, best known as the host of CBC Radio One’s weekly comedy program “Laugh Out Loud” and as the moderator of CBC Radio’s annual “Canada Reads” competition since 2017.
