John Sewell, a member of the Order of Canada, has been engaged in city politics in Toronto since the 1960’s - as a community organizer, city councillor, mayor, journalist, activist, writer, housing administrator, and social entrepreneur.

John Sewell’s first lecture will form the inaugural TSA Forum, a regular bi-monthly city event to be held at the Gladstone Hotel. The TSA Forum brings together architects, friends of architecture and the city for conversation, lectures, panels, and more conversation.
