Created in 2008 by the Toronto City Summit Alliance and Maytree, DiverseCity responds to the 2007 Toronto Summit’s call for business, non-profit and government leadership that better reflects the diversity of the Toronto region’s population.

Guided by a 40-leader Steering Committee, DiverseCity has launched nine practical and measurable programs aimed at:

• increasing public awareness about the economic and social benefits of diverse leadership
• facilitating diverse appointments to agencies, boards and commissions
• networking established leaders across business and other communities
• improving electoral engagement
• creating a speakers bureau of diverse experts for media use
• measuring the diversity of our leadership
• sharing diverse leaders’ stories of success
• equipping and connecting the next cohort of civic leaders

• The DiverseCity Steering Committee is co-chaired by Maytree President Ratna Omidvar and Alliance Chair John Tory.
