The St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association (SLNA) Waste Reduction Group is hosting its 15th REmarket event on Feb 11 & 12, 2026! If you have never attended, this is a fantastic event that aims to make a direct, tangible impact on both the environment and the social welfare of our local communities. Whether you are looking to recycle electronic waste, get your household times--including bicycles--repaired or want to donate unused clothing, glasses or cell phones, you can do it all at REmarket!
It has been a tremendously busy summer! Between Pride and FIFA on one end, the final Toronto and East York Community Council and City Council of the term later this month on the other, and the ongoing Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, my team and I have been working hard to continue delivering results. Despite the stress, despite the heat, and especially despite the province’s ongoing work to make the City of Toronto miserable, for this final proper Councillor Update of the term, I want to provide positive vibes only.
The celebration on Church Street continues! The Church Street Pedestrianization has officially launched, with the Church-Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area (BIA) and my team installed patios and more seating on Church Street post-Pride to make it an even better place to visit. The pedestrianization lasts until August 21, so come on out and experience The Village like never before, enjoy the beautiful weather, and help me advocate for more pedestrianization across the City and to make this pilot permanent!
