I'm proud to once again be coming back to our community for this year's Neighbourhood Town Hall series!
I'm holding a series of six town halls between now and the end of October. These events, like the ones I held last year, are a place for me to provide some critical updates to the community as well as to allow you and your neighbours time to ask me and City staff your questions.
The six town halls are intended to roughly divide Toronto-Centre into clusters of nearby neighbourhoods. I strongly encourage you to attend the one for your neighbourhood to get the most relevant content, but you can of course attend whichever one works with you and your family's schedule.
Please visit the links below to register. You will be able to virtually attend these meetings if you cannot make it in person. Light refreshments will be provided.

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!
City Council made progress in addressing the housing crisis at its meeting on November 13 and 14 by implementing a Rental Renovation Licence By-law and expanding incentives for purpose-built rental housing. They also had important conversations about the City’s economy and cultural plan.
