The Engaging Women, Transforming Cities Conference is a one-day event designed to bring together municipal officials, urban designers and planners, and women and girls interested in transforming our cities into places where women are more involved in electoral processes, and municipal governments are responsive to the priorities of women and girls in Canada's urban centres.

Sylvia Bashevkin, Professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, will deliver the lunchtime keynote address: "Women Transforming Cities: Agendas for the Future." Bashevkin is author of Tales of Two Cities: Women and Municipal Restructuring in London and Toronto (UBC Press) and recently participated in the "Being Mayor of Toronto" panel with Barbara Hall.

The Engaging Women, Transforming Cities Conference program features keynote addresses, morning and afternoon forums, and the Gala Dinner. Speakers and forums will be announced in the coming weeks.
