After a long weekend of warm weather and a lot of compost being distributed for backyard and patio gardening, it is clear that summer is right around the corner. This means it is time to register for the City’s summer recreation programs! It's also the return of Doors Open Toronto. There are lots of great offerings for both right here in Ward 10.
It’s been feeling a lot like summer! Graduations are around the corner and we’re excited about big events of the season coming up. This Sunday, May 14 is my first Environment Day from 10:00 to 2:00 pm at David Crombie Park, 131 The Esplanade (between Frederick Street and Lower Sherbourne Street)!
Last week we took another important step forward in our work to protect the future of Ontario Place. The General Government Committee adopted my motion to defer consideration of a land transfer being demanded by the Ford government until City Council makes a decision on the development application for Ontario Place.
We’ve got to get the future of Ontario Place right. And the current development application raises a lot of serious concerns.
It was a great disappointment but unfortunately no surprise that yesterday's provincial budget contained no significant support for Toronto. Our city deserves better. And we will continue to fight for it.
While there are changes ahead in the Mayor's office over the next few months, our work serving our communities in Spadina–Fort York continues as determined as ever.
I'm one of 1.7 million people who use TTC every day. Riders and workers can, and should, be safe moving across our City.
Happy new year! This week the City of Toronto's 2023 Budget was released. As we know, budgets convey priorities. We are still digging into the details, one thing that is clear: while people in Toronto are struggling, the choices in this budget do not do enough to make life better.
It’s an honour to be your new City Councillor for Toronto’s Ward 10, Spadina–Fort York. In the month since the term began I have been busy working with my team setting up our office, meeting with our local community and neighbourhood organizations, being briefed by City staff on projects taking place throughout our ward, and learning the ins and outs of City Hall.
