We had such incredible community spirit tree planting in University-Rosedale last weekend at the Roxborough Parkette with the Toronto Nature Stewards.

Thanks to everyone who came out to encourage native plant growth and hold the line against invasive species!

Orphaned laneways are unclaimed private streets which have fallen into disrepair, attracting garbage, drug paraphernalia and pests.

I'm pushing to find a way for the city to clean them up.

Construction on Harbord Street is finally almost done!

This took far too long.

After pushing for faster completion, my office is pressing for a special investigation to ensure the practices here do not reoccur.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit the Arts & Letters Club of Toronto with its president, Daphne Maurer.

This is our home, and in Toronto, this is how we stand up to those wishing to spread division and hate.

I was proud to stand in solidarity with everyone who came to Christie Pits today in opposition to intolerance.

There is no place for hate in our city. Canada is strong when we all belong.
