The City is replacing all 470,000 Water Meter Transmission Units (MTUs) across Toronto, which will take about three years to complete. The City’s contractor Neptune Technology Group (Canada) will contact residents and businesses by mail with instructions on how to book your MTU replacement appointment. It’s important to book your appointment as soon as you are contacted.
Rideables – lightweight, personal and often electric modes of transportation like bikes, e-bikes and mopeds – have become a key part of how people get around Toronto. Whether you’re riding for fun, commuting or making deliveries, it’s everyone’s responsibility to ride safely, follow the rules for rideables and respect fellow travellers.
Protecting your skin from the sun is the best way to prevent skin cancer. Wear sunscreen, stay in the shade and wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses. The City is once again partnering with the David Cornfield Melanoma Fund and the Douglas Wright Foundation to offer residents and visitors free sunscreen through #BeSunSafe dispensers at select parks, beaches and camp sites. The program has expanded to City golf courses, so that golfers can be protected while out on the greens.
Prolonged or extreme heat can affect your health in different ways, including heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms of heat illness can range from mild to severe. To help ensure the safety and wellbeing of residents, the City of Toronto activates a Heat Relief Strategy from May 15 to September 30.
