On Saturday, October 31st Shape My City in collaboration with Think Fresh Group and The Ryerson City Building Institute is presenting Toronto’s 8th annual YIMBY Yes In My Backyard Festival at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University 55 Dundas Street W, Toronto, ON, M5G 2C3 .
YIMBY provides a social space for people and groups involved in grassroots, locally-driven community development to gather, exchange ideas and strategies to effect change, and imagine their future city. It’s a chance to celebrate achievements and identify new challenges and opportunities, in an atmosphere focused on listening, learning and engaging.
This one-day event invites community groups from across Toronto to turn the table on politicians and policy makers, to educate them and each other about the issues that face each community. YIMBY provides an opportunity for neighbours to meet neighbours, residents to meet politicians and politicians to meet community groups in the spirit of people coming together for positive change. YIMBY 2015 will include hands-on workshops, interactive programming, information materials and displays, and entertainment celebrating the unique self-organizing energy of Toronto!
DROP BY YIMBY:
RSVPs are not required, simply drop by any time between 11 and 3! Families are welcome! There will be a kids activity space to keep the young ones entertained.

Your group can make a difference by participating in YIMBY. Last year YIMBY included over 67 participating organizations and hundreds of visitors including policymakers and politicians who came to listen to YOU. It was so successful we had to find a larger venue!
