Rideables – lightweight, personal and often electric modes of transportation like bikes, e-bikes and mopeds – have become a key part of how people get around Toronto. Whether you’re riding for fun, commuting or making deliveries, it’s everyone’s responsibility to ride safely, follow the rules for rideables and respect fellow travellers.
Protecting your skin from the sun is the best way to prevent skin cancer. Wear sunscreen, stay in the shade and wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses. The City is once again partnering with the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and the Douglas Wright Foundation to offer residents and visitors free sunscreen through #BeSunSafe dispensers at select parks, beaches and camp sites. The program has expanded to City golf courses, so that golfers can be protected while out on the greens.

RentSafeTO’s colour coding system goes live on June 15, 2026. Just like with DineSafe, rental buildings will have signs to display near the main entrance of each applicable building, indicating that the rating of the building is green, yellow, or red. It’s a great way to ensure that landlords act swiftly to address issues, and I hope that displaying a green sign will quickly become a real point of pride for landlords.
