Take the 6 Words for Toronto challenge

Do you have a vision for Toronto’s future? Can you express it in six words or less?

Torontonians have lots to say about their city – its social and cultural vitality, its economic strengths and challenges, its future. And since 2010 is an election year, now is the time to speak up and express your vision of what this city can become.

To mark the launch of VoteToronto2010.com, we are challenging all Torontonians to express their vision, but to keep it short. Six words or less, to be precise.

A lot can be said in six words. And your entry can be as broad (“The world, together, in one place”) or as specific (“No more potholes on my street”) as you like.

Just use the comments section on this post, which has been specially equipped with a word counter, to submit your six words for Toronto.

In six words or less, tell us, tell the candidates — and tell all of Toronto — your vision, ambition or inspiration for this great city.
