To start off May, I came to Stanley Park with Mayor Chow and City staff to start the second annual Keep Toronto Beautiful campaign, a series of targeted cleaning blitzes to clean, refresh and restore some of our high-need public spaces. We removed graffiti, painted park furniture, picked up garbage, fixed sidewalks, and cleaned catch basins, along with all the maintenance staff do on a regular basis.
Last Thursday, before they went on yet another break, the provincial government dropped legislation to forcibly take City land at Toronto Island and Bathurst Quay including Little Norway Park to expand the Island Airport.
It’s our park, our waterfront, and our city. I’ve always said that Torontonians deserve to have a say over the future of the waterfront and public spaces that we’ve worked hard to make vibrant, livable, and sustainable.
Earth Day is just a few days away and just in time is my first Community Environment Day of the season! This Sunday, April 19 come to David Crombie Park (131 The Esplanade at Frederick St) between 10am and 2pm.
New transit is coming to our waterfront! This week, the City, Provincial and Federal governments have committed to fund Waterfront East Transit.
The ice in the harbour has thawed and spring is coming to our waterfront! I’ve been working hard, with City staff and the team at Waterfront Toronto.
I am excited to kick off spring with milestones at some of our downtown parks over the next few weeks.
Last week, we approved the 2026 City Budget, just in time for Family Day. We were focused on making life more affordable for working families.
February is a short but busy month and though it may be cold outside, there are many reasons for us to gather in and celebrate our community.
This weekend in Toronto is a cold one so make sure you know what you need to do to stay warm. Warming centres and surge sites are open now and can be located here. If you see someone in need of help, please call 311.
It’s the start of a new year and at City Hall that always means it’s time for our annual budget process. Budgets are about priorities and yesterday, City staff launched their proposed budget, which continues our work to make life more affordable.
