Before this year\u2019s mayoral campaign was underway, David Miller wrote, \u201cAll too often in Toronto we remember to fight against something, but forget how to build a truly great city.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wrote Witness to a City to showcase 18 extraordinary \u2013 yet far from unusual \u2013 Torontonians who have transformed their own lives as they helped make Toronto a better place.<\/p>\n

These 18 Torontonians are role models from whom all of us can learn as we find our own way to contribute to a better Toronto. 5 of them will be included on a Q&A panel with David Miller.<\/p>\n

Stephen Diamond, a lawyer and developer, will interview David Miller about a Toronto that harnesses the energies and talents of all its citizens, and we\u2019ll meet and hear about 18 exemplary Torontonians: parents, neighbourhood leaders, an innovative developer, a librarian, a hot dog vendor, a community gardener, and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
