The Local

The Local is an award-winning magazine exploring urban health and social issues in Toronto. It began as a hyper-local storytelling project at OpenLab in 2017 and, in 2019, The Local spun off as an independent non-profit.

Why Did We Create The Local?

The Local was originally created to bring the often neglected voices of Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods to the boardrooms and planning tables of the Toronto Central Local Health Integration Network (which no longer exists). Storytelling, we thought, could bridge that gap, and help planners design more meaningful and inclusive services.
