I was delighted residents from across Ward 13 come together for a festive evening this past December 11 at the St. Lawrence Hall.
My banquet was a wonderful opportunity to catch up, enjoy delicious food, and connect with friends and neighbours. My team worked to deliver a delicious meal from a variety of local businesses here in Ward 13 to all guests, and I'm happy to report that no stomach went unfilled.
The night was made even more special by performances from violinist Declan and singers Si Ya and Ferdos. They helped make the evening magical.
I was also proud to honor seven community members and two non-profit local organizations from Ward 13, as well as Dr. Eileen de Villa, who recently retired as Toronto's Medical Officer of Health, with my 2024 Toronto Centre Community Builder Award. The award recognizes their exceptional contributions to our vibrant community.
Speaking of my Community Builder Awards, I was proud to acknowledge the following recipients for 2024:
Thanks to everyone who was able to attend, and I hope I can see you in the community in 2025!

With the respiratory virus season underway, Toronto Public Health is strongly encouraging residents to use all available layers of protection to reduce respiratory virus spread, protect themselves and those who are most vulnerable, such as young children and older adults. Each layer of protection adds up and works best when used together, especially when respiratory virus activity is high.
