Winterlicious is now underway and will continue until Thursday, February 13. This annual culinary festivity is set to deliver a variety of gastronomic experiences throughout our city, with three-course prix fixe menus from over 230 local establishments across Toronto.
If you’re a homeowner of a single-family, duplex, triplex, or fourplex residential property, you can apply for a subsidy of up to $3,400 to install flood protection devices.
The annual Ward 10 and 13 Budget Town Hall was an excellent opportunity to gain a better understanding of very complicated numbers that affect all Torontonians. As your city councillor, it's essential to hear concerns and questions from our residents in real-time.
The City of Toronto has officially opened applications and renewals for the 2025 CaféTO curb lane program.
I was delighted residents from across Ward 13 come together for a festive evening this past December 11 at the St. Lawrence Hall.
I hope you and your family have had a relaxing–or at the very least, enjoyable–holiday season. My team definitely needed the break, but I know we’ve already to roll up our sleeves for 2025.
The reconstituted Historic Queen East Business Improvement Area (BIA) held its first annual general meeting (AGM) with business owners and commercial property owners between Victoria Street to River Street on December 4, 2024. While the BIA was unable to pass a budget, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our volunteer-based board of management. Their tireless efforts in organizing this event and articulating their visions at the AGM were instrumental in recruiting new board members for its 2025 strategic plans.
The final City Council meeting of 2024 was momentous as we bid farewell to Dr. de Villa as our Medical Officer of Health and attended to items that addressed housing, rental standards and road safety.
I take great pride in the strides we have made here in Ward 13 to connect encampment residents to housing, particularly with the successful resolution of the Allan Gardens encampment last October. To date, Allan Gardens remains free of any new encampments. Our dedicated City staff have displayed remarkable persistence and resolve, and for that, I thank them.
While summer days are long behind us, the magic of the holiday season lies ahead to keep our hearts warm. Whether you are visiting friends and family or relaxing at home, I hope you find some time to relax and make some space for yourself.
November 18 was a day I had anticipated with a heavy heart since Dr. Eileen de Villa first announced her retirement earlier this year. That day, we sat at the table together for the final Board of Health meeting with her as our Medical Officer of Health.
On November 16, I gathered at the Toronto Public Library’s Parliament Street Branch to celebrate the Moss Park Community Cookbook launch. The event brought together residents, community leaders and food lovers to honour the incredible stories and recipes that make Moss Park such a vibrant place. Below, please find my recipe for banana bread with ginger and blueberries!
