Starting January 1, 2026, the City of Toronto will no longer manage recycling collection. Under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act of 2016, this responsibility will shift to producers, with Circular Materials taking over Blue Bin collections for all residential properties, schools, long-term care facilities and retirement homes.

Keeping Toronto Moving: The Congestion Management Plan
At our April City Council meeting, we adopted a comprehensive Congestion Management Plan which includes a series of measures designed to keep everyone's commute safe and efficient. Here are a few key highlights of the plan which have the most impact on Ward 13:
Toronto now has a City-Wide Dog Off-Leash Strategy
I am happy to share that after years of advocacy and a year and a half since my motion was adopted by Council, we now have a comprehensive City-Wide Dog Off-Leash Strategy in place. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Toronto Dog Park Community, Paws for Parks, and the residents of Toronto Centre for their persistent advocacy and input throughout this process.
Early Recreation Registration for Regent Park Residents: May 8 and 13!
Great news, Regent Park! The Regent Park Community Centre and Pam McConnell Aquatic Centre are offering early access to recreation program registration—exclusively for residents of our neighbourhood.
The Year Ahead
As your Councillor, I'm building a Toronto that's safe, livable, affordable, and commutable - for all of us.
After hearing from you at the door, on the street, at community events, at our town halls, and from letters and emails you’ve sent to me, my team and I are working hard to deliver.
Here's how this year's City budget will work for all of us:
Encampments Dashboard
Our Encampment Dashboard provides updates encampments in parks, how we’re managing them, and outlines City’s new encampment protocol.
Ice Time for All: Investing in our Skating Rinks
As your councillor, enhancing equitable access to recreation facilities has been a key priority. Just like you, I value the Moss Park Arena, our only indoor arena downtown, along with the vibrant outdoor Ice Rink in Regent Park.
Access to Recreation Program: Making Strides in Regent Park
The Access to Recreation Program has increased access to swimming lessons and facilities for local students at Winchester, Sprucecourt, Nelson Mandela, and Lord Dufferin schools.
Improving Pedestrian Safety Across our Ward
Vibrant neighbourhoods have streets and sidewalks for residents to use and enjoy.
