Earth Day is April 22nd, and you’re invited to join us to support and champion initiatives this month that make Toronto more sustainable and climate resilient.
This Sunday, April 14th is your chance to get a bag of the City’s leaf compost, and drop off those items that cannot be put out for cub pickup like paint, batteries, and light bulbs.
Community Environment Day returns April 14!
Community Environment Day is returning to South Stanley Park! This is a great opportunity to properly dispose of electronic, hazardous, and other kinds of waste which you can't put at the curb, including paint, batteries and light bulbs. Donations will also be accepted on a variety of items that could be reused by others in our community, such as clothing, small appliances, and electronics. Let us know you can attend!
Marching Forward
Next Friday, March 8th marks International Women’s Day. Together, we can work to create a gender equal world, and celebrate the political, social, and activist achievements that have brought us here. This month also brings March Break! Many of our City’s community centres, museums, and public buildings have special programming for students, families and community members to enjoy.
Skating Party tomorrow at the Bentway!
Yesterday, the 2024 Toronto Budget went through City Council to get us back on track. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me and our office, had conversations, attended our town hall, and participated in the many opportunities to engage in the process -- the most in the City's history! I am grateful for all of it.
Getting our city back on track
We’ve been working hard to start this new year off right, with a 2024 budget that gets our city back on track. Over the past weeks, tens-of-thousands of Torontonians like you have shared ideas and feedback through emails, calls, deputations, and town halls of all kinds, including the one we held a few weeks ago with Spadina-Fort York residents. I’m also looking forward to celebrating Black History Month and Lunar New Year in our communities this month, bringing us to gather, reflect, and celebrate.
Setting our path forward
Tuesday night we held our annual Ward 10 & Ward 13 Budget Town Hall. Despite the cold weather, it was great to see so many residents turn out in person and online to share their thoughts and views on how together we can build a strong, more inclusive Toronto.
Register Now: 2024 Budget Town Hall on January 16
Happy new year! I hope you had a chance to see family and friends, rest and recharge. I am excited to keep working with you to make the city we love a place where we all thrive. And that starts with the 2024 City Budget! The Budget Committee’s draft budget will be released Wednesday, January 10. As we know, budgets convey priorities. With new leadership at City Hall, this year’s budget will outline the City’s path forward.
Holiday Fun in the Heart of Toronto
The holiday feeling is in the air. Whether you marked winter solstice celebrations, are finalizing preparations for Christmas, or making your plans for New Year’s Eve, Toronto is abuzz with excitement and anticipation, alongside important concern for all our neighbours to be well through the winter.
A New Deal for Toronto
The New Deal for Toronto means billions in new money that will make people's lives better, delivering housing, transit and critical services. Announced late last month, Mayor Chow has achieved what previous Mayors couldn't over the past decade.
City Hall for Everyone
As City Councillor for Spadina-Fort York, one of my top priorities is to bring more of us into the decision making process, as we build a Toronto for all together. An important time for that is now, as we start discussions on Toronto’s budget process.
