NMN Meet Up: Making Your Voice Heard at City Hall
Online, Thursday April 30th at 7pm
Have you ever wanted to share your perspective at City Hall but weren’t sure where to begin? Speaking up is one way to influence change, but it’s not the only one.
Join the Civic Dashboard team and No More Noise Civic Engagement Lead, Jess Spieker, for an introduction to tools and approaches that make it easier to participate in local decision-making.
Civic Dashboard is a volunteer-led initiative working to make civic engagement more accessible and to help build a stronger, more connected Toronto.
Whether you’re new to the process or looking for new ways to get involved, this session will offer practical guidance and a starting point for action.
Hope to see you online soon!
In Person Events
Jane’s Walk: A tour of the noise bylaws
- May 2 starting at 11 am
- May 3 starting at 3pm
Starting at the Yorkville Fire Station we will meander through the Yorkville area (around 1 km) through to the Philosopher’s Walk. We’ll explain the City of Toronto’s Noise Bylaws and what needs to be done to mitigate that noise source, and hear how these sources impact you.
Come out and meet the NMN Community, we are mostly online, so it is truly great to meet in person.
Hosted by Ingrid Buday, Founder and Executive Director
we look forward to meeting you!
Look What We Have Achieved Already!

- Successfully lobbying for improvements to the bylaws to reduce vehicle noise while presenting solutions to city staff
- Collaborating with City of Toronto Municipal Licensing and Standards Noise Team and Policy Advisor to improve policies and processes to reduce noise pollution
