The Dan Leckie Forum is a recurring engagement event. TAF brings together stakeholders of varied backgrounds to strategize about key policies and projects to reduce urban carbon emissions or address air pollution.
Dan Leckie, who served as a City of Toronto Councillor and Founder and Chair of TAF, devoted his life to building an inclusive and healthy world, and favoured participatory approaches to bringing about change.
After Dan’s death, a trust fund was set up in his honour to present the Dan Leckie Forum.
