தமிழ் ஆய்வுகள்! It's been a joy learning Tamil this autumn. My vocabulary is minimal, my writing is messy, but I've picked up 12 vowels & 18 consonants & 216 syllables in 2 months ✍🏾 Looking forward to being quadrilingual, and I'm pleased to better connect with my homeland and my Tamil brothers & sisters!

Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Minising island is phenomenal. A gem in the city. Something Toronto should be proud of & quite the feat along with renaturalizing the mouth of the Don River to manage flooding. Congratulations to everyone involved with the new Port Lands! #BiidaasigePark #OokweminMinising

It's Time to Expand Car Share Citywide Kevin Rupasinghe

Making car share accessible to residents living in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke-York is a great step forward to a fairer, more affordable, more sustainable city, with less congestion & healthier residents. Add your name, let's make it happen: www.kevrup.ca/car_share_june_2025 [3/3]

This Wednesday is a vote on the Strategic Parking Framework which would see car share expand outside of permit parking areas, added to off-street lots esp. if permit parking is at 100% & added to new developments. Expanded permit parking areas would also be identified. [2/3]

Help expand car share across Toronto - send an email to City Council! www.kevrup.ca/carshare

Toronto has outdated & unfair rules about on-street permit parking in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke residents which prevent car share from operating in these areas. [1/3]

A little birdie told me Eglinton Crosstown must be opening soon... a major project milestone achieved on June 1... Pigeons have migrated from Kennedy subway station into the new LRT building to claim their spots...

Parliament works best with the NDP at the table, and I want @bhutilakarpoche.bsky.social there as a voice for Toronto. She was a popular & effective MPP, and she can win in Taiaiako'n—Parkdale—High Park with your help. Volunteer on election day: www.bhutila.ca/election-day

Grateful to speak at @UTSC Prof. Andre Sorensen's Complete Streets course along w/ Dylan Reid, Becky Katz & Marvin Macaraig. We heard 5 excellent presentations about redesigning Scarborough's Sheppard Ave E. I was impressed & I was glad to support these students — they make me optimistic! 👏🏾👏🏾

Elbows up ! Our team of Scarborough community members had to grab a photo with Windsor's Canadian flag while we were in Detroit learning about the Joe Louis Greenway & how it could serve as inspiration for reimagining the Scarborough RT corridor... More pics & our learnings for the SRT coming soon!

Did you know Scarborough has fewer BIAs than any other borough? My neighbour Marce Bylinska & I wrote about Scarborough's BIA potential in the March Bluffs Monitor after celebrating the new Cedarbrae Markham Lawrence Village BIA's opening.

On the bus last night and some university kids were yapping about the Raptors game, trying to remember what Spicy P's real name was, and talking about how they *were in grade 8* when the Raps won the championship 🤯 @torontoraptor.bsky.social

🩸💉In 2024, I was pleased to mark my 60th whole blood donation to Canadian Blood Services, so I'm trying something new in 2025 - making a plasma donation for the first time!

If you can, consider donating blood, plasma, or platelets: blood.ca

While other revenue options are being suggested, none are within the City's jurisdiction except increasing TTC fares, which won't be enough to invest in our city & put the burden only on TTC riders when everyone benefits from this year's budget investments

Wow, I am glad to finally see the front of the townhomes on Clonmore between Gerrard & Warden ! The hoarding has been up for a long time and I have lost track of how many years construction has been underway... Hopefully we will welcome some new neighbours into the area in 2025! #BirchCliff #Toronto

#December6 is always a sombre day of reflection. I was able to join peers & commemorate The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women & take a small action in support of ending gender-based violence by assembling some care packages for Sistering
