2025 Neighbourhood Town Halls

Every year I host six Neighbourhood Town Halls in the fall to provide updates to the local community and give residents a chance to ask direct questions. There are three left, one at Central Neighbourhood House on October 15, one at the 519 Community Centre on October 23 and a virtual town hall on November 4.  Registration is encouraged, with details below.

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.

The St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association (SLNA) Waste Reduction Group is hosting its 15th REmarket event on Feb 11 & 12, 2026! If you have never attended, this is a fantastic event that aims to make a direct, tangible impact on both the environment and the social welfare of our local communities. Whether you are looking to recycle electronic waste, get your household times--including bicycles--repaired or want to donate unused clothing, glasses or cell phones, you can do it all at REmarket!

2026 has arrived! I hope you and your loved ones had a chance to relax and celebrate this past holiday season. While the weather continues to be erratic, one thing you can count on is local drop-in skating rinks being open this winter, such as at the Regent Park Athletic Grounds, Moss Park Arena and Toronto Metropolitan University Square. Grab your skates, consult the City's online map to see the rink's status, and let’s make the best of the cold weather while it lasts!

Today, City staff released budget briefing notes for the 2026 City Budget, and it appears there will effectively be a 50% funding cut from what was originally promised for the 2025-2030 Downtown East Action Plan (DEAP). If you attended any of my town halls over the past three years, you’ve heard me speak about how important and valuable this plan is. Toronto Centre is a ward with a growing population and the largest concentration of social services in the City, which puts significant pressure on our roads and open spaces. The DEAP provides more supports to keep our vulnerable residents safe and our streets and parks clean. That cannot happen without the funding it requires, and I have significant concerns that the DEAP will receive about half the funding it was promised for this year.
