I had the privilege of joining Regent Park residents, Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC), Daniels Corporation, and Tridel teams for a community meeting on Phases 1 to 5 of our revitalization update on February 29.
The energy in the room was positive as residents received updates on milestones including:
We also discussed the revitalization of the Regent Park economy through creating employment prospects, facilitating skills training initiatives, offering support for business development, and ensuring local programs are funded while prioritizing safety and youth programs.
I want to thank local caterers Patricia, Mohammed, Ines, Zarguna, Orfa, Malika, Rosanne, and Ines who provided delicious meals, as well as the band Soulful, who made this event a memorable one.
The dedication and collaboration demonstrated by everyone involved are truly commendable and reflect our shared commitment to the well-being and prosperity of Regent Park.
I was delighted residents from across Ward 13 come together for a festive evening this past December 11 at the St. Lawrence Hall.
The reconstituted Historic Queen East Business Improvement Area (BIA) held its first annual general meeting (AGM) with business owners and commercial property owners between Victoria Street to River Street on December 4, 2024. While the BIA was unable to pass a budget, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our volunteer-based board of management. Their tireless efforts in organizing this event and articulating their visions at the AGM were instrumental in recruiting new board members for its 2025 strategic plans.
The final City Council meeting of 2024 was momentous as we bid farewell to Dr. de Villa as our Medical Officer of Health and attended to items that addressed housing, rental standards and road safety.
