The City’s Parkland Strategy and Parks and Recreation Facilities Plan guide growth and investment in parkland and recreation over the next 20 years. Beginning in Fall 2024, thousands of community members have citywide provided feedback to help inform the updates to these plans. This summer you can review and share your feedback on the proposed updates to these plans and let the City know if you think this work is on the right track.
The City is looking for vibrant, main street and community-driven cultural projects and events that celebrate the FIFA World Cup 26™ coming to our city and Toronto’s “World in a City” theme. Community events will play a key role in promoting different and diverse areas of the city, making them lively hubs of activity during the tournament from June 11 to July 19, 2026. Funding applications are open to support free public community events or projects taking place during FIFA World Cup 26™ in Toronto.
Toronto summer is in full swing. As our streets liven up, residents and businesses are reminded to observe the City's Noise Bylaw. Visit the City's Noise webpage to find information including:

As we enjoy the warmer weather and explore the outdoors, remember to keep yourself and your pets safe from tick bites. Ticks are tiny but can transmit disease such as Lyme, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Powassan virus. Toronto is considered an established risk area for blacklegged ticks with 53 per cent of ticks testing positive for at least one reportable tickborne disease. The good news is that you can prevent ticks from getting attached to you or your dog at home or in the wild.
Last Friday marked a significant moment for our community: the final tiny home in St. James Park was removed after the individual residing there were permanently housed. This moment brings to a close one of the most visible and difficult chapters in our City’s housing crisis.

Too many Torontonians live in homes that have pests, mold, appliances that don’t work, and inadequate heat. That’s why, as part of the RentSafe program, Councillors Chris Moise and Josh Matlow are working with ACORN, FMTA, ACTO, NoDemovictions, the York South-Weston Tenants’ Union, and tenant associations from across the city to deliver an apartment rating system similar to the City's "DineSafe" program.
