The Urban League of London

London, ON, N6A 4W8
We believe that engaged and informed Londoners are the building blocks of a vital, successful, and sustainable city. We believe that strong and connected communities are critical to bringing them together. Building these connections and advocating for our members is what we do. It’s what we’ve been doing for over 50 years.
The Urban League of London is an umbrella group whose members include a number of neighbourhood associations and community groups working to improve and connect our City. Individuals with an interest in urban or civic matters may also become individual members of the League.
