Toronto Police have informed me that this afternoon, there was a shooting at a residence near Dundas Street East and Parliament Street that left two people dead and one with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Two Toronto police officers were also injured following a foot pursuit related to the shooting. At this time, the motivation for the shooting is unknown, but police have made one arrest so far, and the investigation is ongoing. 

I extend my sincere condolences to the family, friends and community affected by this senseless act of violence and wish a swift recovery to the injured officers. 

As your neighbour and City Councillor, it is incredibly upsetting to hear of such acts of violence in our community. I remain steadfast in my commitment to addressing community safety as a top priority.

I understand that this is a challenging time for the community, and I want to extend my support to anyone affected by this event. Please do not hesitate to contact my office for assistance. We are here to support you in any way we can. Below I have also listed some resources you can access for support in Regent Park. 

My staff and I are currently on site with community members, Toronto Community Housing staff and Toronto Police. I will keep you updated as more information becomes available.

Sincerely,

Chris Moise

City Councillor

Ward 13 - Toronto Centre

A huge thank you to everyone, including residents, business leaders and their associations, who wrote to Mayor Chow and the Budget Committee to demand that the Downtown East Action Plan (DEAP) be fully funded. Thanks to your support, funding for the DEAP will increase from $756,000 to $1.4 million this year. The plan will need a full $2.2 million in 2027, so I hope you will continue to support this significant work next year. This critical funding supports our Clean Streets teams and Community Safety initiatives to ensure our neighbourhoods are clean, safe, and welcoming.

Last December, I wrote about the impact of Premier Ford’s Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025’s impact on renters. The impact of Bill 60 goes beyond the Premier’s  fight against bike lanes in Etobicoke; it threatens to derail any current or future transportation project in Toronto that dares impact a lane of traffic. 

The City is accepting applications for its new Material Exchange Directory, a user‑friendly online resource that will showcase local programs helping Torontonians sell, buy donate or trade materials instead of sending them to landfill.  Launching later in 2026, the directory will help residents, community groups and businesses find local organizations that support the reuse, resale or donation of excess goods and materials, including household items, equipment and building materials.
