Toronto Caribbean Carnival

Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a staple of summer in our city. With construction in the area, I have also been pushing City staff to take measures to make sure residents and visitors alike can navigate the area safely and in a reliable way.

Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a staple of summer in our city. From August 1 - 4, it brings its incredible celebration to Exhibition Place. 

If you are looking to attend, you can find all the events here. The best way to get to every event is via TTC and Go Train. There will be extra subway service on Line 1 Yonge-University and Line 2 Bloor-Danforth. There will also be extra streetcar service on the 509 Harbourfront and the 511 Bathurst lines. 

With construction in the area, I have also been pushing City staff to take measures to make sure residents and visitors alike can navigate the area safely and in a reliable way.

City staff have committed to the following measures to make sure traffic in surrounding areas like Liberty Village stays moving: 

  • Staff will be monitoring cameras from the Traffic Operations Centre and making signal timing adjustments, with extra staff in on Saturday during the Grand Parade to support any additional signal timing changes. 
  • Traffic officers will be stationed at two intersections at Strachan/East Liberty and Dufferin/East Liberty.

For the Grand Parade, the following roads will be closed to all vehicle traffic from 12:01am on Saturday August 3 until 6:00am on August 4:

  • Lake Shore Boulevard West, from Bathurst Street to Colborne Lodge Drive
  • Strachan Avenue from Fleet Street to Lake Shore Boulevard West
  • Jameson Avenue, from Springhurst Avenue to Lake Shore Boulevard West
  • Dunn Avenue at Springhust Avenue
  • Dufferin Street, at Springhust Avenue
  • F.G. Gardiner Expressway westbound and eastbound exit #149 Dunn Avenue/Jameson Avenue

I will also keep working with City staff and advocating for resources through the Liberty Village Traffic Action Plan, rolling out short-term measures, and sharing resident feedback with City staff in Transportation Services.

A New Library and More Complete Communities

This morning, I announced the first-ever library branch on Toronto’s waterfront at Quayside! This was only made possible through incredible partnership between my office, City of Toronto staff, the Toronto Public Library, Waterfront Toronto, and the development partners, including $9 million in funds that I am proud to have allocated from our legacy community benefits tool, section 37, to make this opportunity a reality.

 

Supporting Our Communities to Welcome the World

Summer is always a busy time in our downtown communities and with the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Toronto beginning today, my priority is that you have the information you need to get around, catch the excitement, and benefit before, during and after the games. I’m sharing information at my dedicated webpage and with some handy how-to guides on my Instagram.

Your Guide to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Toronto

As we welcome the world to Toronto for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, my priority is that our downtown communities can get around their neighbourhoods and enjoy and benefit from this once-in-a-lifetime moment, before, during, and after the games. As the tournament begins I want to ensure you have the most up to date information and resources to be ready for the World Cup in our communities. On this page, I've compiled some key resources for you.
