The annual Ward 10 and 13 Budget Town Hall was an excellent opportunity to gain a better understanding of very complicated numbers that affect all Torontonians. As your city councillor, it's essential to hear concerns and questions from our residents in real-time.
We had close to 80 people join us in person and virtually, with many questions about the 2025 budget. We were fortunate enough to have Budget Chief Councillor Shelley Carroll and Mayor Olivia Chow drop by to provide additional context and information. Many of the questions surrounded ongoing housing initiatives, shelter services and continued services for residents in Ward 13 and Ward 10.
We complied most of the questions we recieved on our Instagram page. Please visit the responses here and here. The Mayor's Budget has also now been released, and you can read it here.
I want to extend my special thanks to Deputy Mayor Malik for partnering on this downtown budget event, Councillor Shelley Carroll, and Mayor Chow for attending. Also, thank you to Anthony Ng and Mervyn Mendonca from the Financial Planning and Management division for their high-level explanations of how the budget will improve our City operations and capital work.

More than 130 residents participated in community safety meetings hosted by my office and Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) this spring in St. James Town and Moss Park. The meetings brought together residents, TCHC staff, Toronto Police Service, the City's Violence Intervention and Support Unit, Fred Victor, and Unison Health and Community Services to discuss local safety concerns and identify solutions.
