Image of Masta Inferno with Old City Hall in the background Re-Imagining Old City Hall Join us to discuss the future of Old City Hall and catch Masta Inferno in action Friday, August 15th 4-6 @ Old City Hall 🏫 What do you think of when you see Toronto’s iconic Old City Hall? Our team at Monumental, on behalf of @_createto , wants to talk to you about what the space can become, what it means to you and your community, and how spaces around the city inspire you. Come stop by, enjoy the rhymes from @masta_inferno , and share your ideas as we look to reimagine this space as one that’s open to the public and open to create economic opportunities for communities in our city. 🕧 When? This Friday, August 15th from 4 - 6 PM at Old City Hall. 🎤 Who is Masta Inferno? Masta Inferno is a boundary-pushing MC and cultural storyteller whose roots run deep through Toronto’s communities and far beyond. With 26 years of lyrical mastery — from late-night busking downtown to featured performances with RISE, Unity, and CBC — he’s built a legacy fueled by truth, craft, and connection. We look forward to seeing you this Friday! 1h

For me, what I ❤️ about being a housing advocate, I’m not worried about my biases. Creating meaningful opportunities regardless the number of storeys. Working w/ students that are the very individuals that will build those communities & craft those neighborhoods, #PoliticalWill is the only barrier.

Moment of truth, glad to see @_CreateTO & City adding more density & height to the proposal to add more room for affordable housing. Room silent.

Someday, I want a reporter to ask me what one thing I want 🇨🇦 city councils to do differently so I can say it: "think about land differently." Toronto has come a long way w/ @_CreateTO, but the state of mind that sees land as "not an asset, not an opportunity" still reigns.
