In 2023, over 50% of rental units approved for demolition and replacement across the city were in Toronto Centre.
That’s why I co-authored a motion that is delivering improvements to the way rent-gap payments are calculated.
Moving forward, our renters will get a fairer deal because rent-gap payments will be calculated using the average rent prices from rental buildings built in 2015 or later (only), and indexing has now been included in the formula.
Additionally, I’m ensuring that the City thoroughly examines the feasibility of including condominium rents in the calculation of area- specific rent-gap payments. As your councillor, I’ll make sure that the City continues to consult with stakeholders, including tenant advocates, as these updates are implemented.
Our Encampment Dashboard provides updates encampments in parks, how we’re managing them, and outlines City’s new encampment protocol.
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.
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.
