Participatory Budgeting Voting Begins!

I’m thrilled to announce that voting for this year’s Participatory Budgeting is officially open!

This year, my team has introduced a hybrid voting system to make it easier for everyone to participate. You can cast your vote online through our website or join us in person at one of the upcoming voting events happening throughout the ward this month. Check out the full schedule on my website.

Who Can Vote?

Residents of the following neighbourhoods are invited to join and vote::

  • Cluster 1: Bay Cloverhill, Bloor East, Church Wellesley and Upper Jarvis
  • Cluster 5: St. Lawrence
  • Cluster 6: Canary District, Corktown and Distillery District

A total of $750,000 is available for projects in each cluster. You can only vote on projects within the cluster where you live.

How to Vote Online

  1. Visit my Toronto Centre Projects Website; 
  2. Select the 2025 PB Cluster that matches your neighbourhood;
  3. Log in using your Toronto Centre Projects account to access the voting platform; and
  4. Follow the easy, step-by-step instructions (with visuals) on the Cluster page to cast your vote.

Important Information About Proposals

All ideas submitted by residents were carefully reviewed for feasibility by City Staff from July to September. This included assessing costs for materials, labour, and other factors. Proposals deemed unfeasible will remain visible in the Idea Collection phase with an explanation for their rejection. It will take a bit more time to provide an update on each unfeasible project, so stay tuned.

Common reasons for disqualification include:

  • Requests for operational funding rather than capital funding;
  • Proposals involving private property or management; and
  • Ideas tied to larger master plans outside the scope of Participatory Budgeting.

Thank you for being an active part of shaping our community!

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. 

In 2026 & 2027, revitalizing Downtown Toronto is tied to revitalizing Downtown East – but, troublingly, the City Budget calls for an almost 50% cut to the Downtown East Action Plan.
Together we need to raise the alarm, take action, and stop the cut because the Downtown East Action Plan is the key to transforming and revitalizing Downtown Toronto – both physically and economically.
