Community members are welcome to attend any of the five virtual town halls.
Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is committed to leading an open and consultative process in planning for a new School of Medicine in Brampton, set to open its doors in fall 2025.
As part of this commitment, the Office of the Provost and Vice-President, Academic, the University Planning Office, and the School of Medicine leadership team will be hosting a series of town hall consultations, to give members of the university community the opportunity to discuss its development in a public forum.
All town halls will be held virtually and registration to attend (external link) is required. These town halls are for TMU community members only and as such require a @torontomu.ca email address to register:
