Neighbourhood Town Halls 2025 Wrap

I want to extend my sincere thanks to all the residents who joined us at our six town halls across Toronto Centre as well as virtually. It was fantastic to connect, hear your concerns, and discuss our shared vision for a more livable, inclusive community.

The conversations were open and thoughtful, even when the questions were challenging. Together, we discussed important issues such as homelessness, addiction, traffic safety, and street cleanliness. While some of these matters extend beyond the City’s authority, I remain committed to advocating strongly on your behalf to other levels of government to ensure your voices are heard.

I also want to express my appreciation to City staff and our partners at 51 Division for taking the time to participate and share their expertise during these sessions. I also want to stress the importance of reporting. Some residents questioned the accuracy of the police data–it was reported that most major crime indicators have fallen since last year–at the town halls, but the best way to ensure accurate data is to report. I know reporting can be frustrating, but it’s the best way to ensure police resources are assigned where they are needed.

Your engagement and insights are invaluable. Thank you for showing up, speaking out, and helping shape the future of Toronto Centre. I look forward to continuing these conversations and working together to make 2026 an even stronger year for our community.
