Participatory Budgeting 2024

Last year was the first time PB was done in Ward 13; we learned a lot about what improvements residents want to see in their neighbourhoods. Now, it’s time to generate some new ideas for 2024!

This year, we will be launching PB on April 13 in Zone 2 (St. James Town, Winchester Park, Cabbagetown) and on April 16 in Zone 3 (Moss Park, Garden District, Cabbagetown South). 

We are starting PB a little earlier than in 2023 so local residents have time to do additional research. Please join us at our in-person information sessions where we will be explaining how each step works, answering questions and offering in-person idea submission help. See sign-up dates below:

As your local Councillor, it's important to me that that our parks, playgrounds, and public spaces remain safe and accessible for everyone, especially our children. At the same time, we must approach the issue of encampments with compassion and a focus on long-term solutions. Recent discussions at City Council have highlighted the challenges we face in balancing these priorities. In this update, I’ll share the latest developments, the steps we’re taking to address encampments near sensitive areas, and how we can work together to create a safer, more inclusive city.

Wishing everyone peace and joy this holiday season. As winter settles in, may we find time to recharge, stay connected, and continue showing up for one another, our schools, and our communities. While the province continues to pass legislation like Bill 33 that harms our children, we need everyone rested and ready to fight back.

Toronto’s Downtown East is a vibrant yet deeply complex community, where the intersection of health, homelessness, and justice presents unique challenges. As we approach the end of the year, the Downtown East Leadership Table convened to discuss critical issues, share updates, and strategize solutions for 2026. From the closure of safe consumption sites to the growing strain on harm reduction services, the conversation highlighted the urgent need for enhanced coordination, community education, and systemic change. This update summarizes key insights from the meeting and explores actionable steps to address the pressing needs of our neighbourhoods.
