UPAA Toronto seeks to foster communication and interaction among its members by providing social and cultural programs and events, and endeavors to involve its members more effectively in the activities of the University and the community.

UPAA Toronto is a non-profit organization. As such, it collects membership dues, solicits charitable donations and holds fund raising events to help defray the cost of its operations.

A fifteen-member council formulates the alumni policies and programs, and the executive officers implement the programs and administer the day-to-day business affairs.

UPAA Toronto was established in 1977. Through the years, the commitment of time, energy and resources from the council, executive officers and members has sustained the growth and vitality of the Association.
