At City Hall, a lot can happen in just a day – and last night was no different.
I want to thank Mayor Tory for his commitment to public service, for providing much-needed stability throughout the pandemic, and for entrusting me with key responsibilities at Council.
Mayor Tory's resignation means that now more than ever, all of our councillors need to work together to give our city and our people the strong, effective City Council they can depend on, and deserve.
As your councillor for Toronto Centre, that's what I'm going to do.
The mayor has always been one part of Toronto City Council, so this doesn’t change any of the work ahead of us. We have to deal with serious challenges in housing, public health and mental health, the cost of living crisis, the TTC, a state of repair for our infrastructure, and community safety.
That's why I'm here, and that's what I'm focused on improving — for the people of Toronto Centre, and for all Torontonians.
Yours in service,
Chris Moise
City Councillor
Ward 13 - Toronto Centre
November 18 was a day I had anticipated with a heavy heart since Dr. Eileen de Villa first announced her retirement earlier this year. That day, we sat at the table together for the final Board of Health meeting with her as our Medical Officer of Health.
On November 16, I gathered at the Toronto Public Library’s Parliament Street Branch to celebrate the Moss Park Community Cookbook launch. The event brought together residents, community leaders and food lovers to honour the incredible stories and recipes that make Moss Park such a vibrant place. Below, please find my recipe for banana bread with ginger and blueberries!
City Council made progress in addressing the housing crisis at its meeting on November 13 and 14 by implementing a Rental Renovation Licence By-law and expanding incentives for purpose-built rental housing. They also had important conversations about the City’s economy and cultural plan.
