The Toronto Area Council is the regional council for NDP riding associations in the City of Toronto. We exist to support Toronto riding associations and amplify the issues that matter to Toronto voters within the Ontario NDP.

Ways you can get involved

• You can sign up to canvass in Scarborough Southwest here. The Toronto Area Council will be hitting the doors for a Day of Action on Saturday March 21, 2026 at 1 PM in Scarborough Southwest.

• Donate to the Federal Scarborough Southwest NDP before a byelection.

• Sign up for TAC's volunteer in-language outreach and translation team. Sign up here.

• We are asking for feedback about our Whatsapp community chat. You can share that feedback here.

• The Federal Scarborough Woburn riding association has launched a Racial Justice Fund to help BIPOC New Democrats afford to travel to our Party's federal convention in March 2026. You can donate to support that fund here.
