Toronto now has a City-Wide Dog Off-Leash Strategy

I am happy to share that after years of advocacy and a year and a half since my motion was adopted by Council, we now have a comprehensive City-Wide Dog Off-Leash Strategy in place. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Toronto Dog Park Community, Paws for Parks, and the residents of Toronto Centre for their persistent advocacy and input throughout this process.


Patio Season has Arrived!

Toronto’s streets are once again set to come alive with vibrant outdoor dining opportunities as CaféTO 2025 kicks off this Victoria Day weekend. Like most Torontonians, I'm looking forward to enjoying a bite and a drink outdoors. From May through October, residents and visitors are encouraged to explore CaféTO patios and support local businesses. Below, please find a list of establishments with CafeTO curb lane cafes, sidewalk cafes or private patios for you to visit!

 

REmarket: May 28 and 29

The SLNA Waste Reduction Group is holding its 13th REmarket, a two-day event for the collection of unwanted items. A totally free market (FreeMarket) will also be held on May 28 only. On May 29, Repair Café Toronto will be fixing clothing, jewellery, computers, home electronics, small appliances, housewares, and toys, while CultureLink Bike Hub will be doing small bike repairs and safety checks.
