Welcome!

Started by a few keen and energetic Torontonians in late 2009,
 Transition Toronto (TTo) was created to make our City
 more resilient to the effects of peak oil, climate change, and economic instability.

 

Due to the size of our City,
 TTo acts as a hub, serving the many smaller, individual
 neighbourhood Transition Initiatives we are helping to develop. Our vision and activities are based on the model of Transition Towns– a social movement developed in the UK, which has become a global movement. We don’t have all the answers but we strive to do what we can, and do it
 now, rather than wait for the perfect set of solutions (if there is such a thing).
