TC Talks: Tenant Rights on June 10

Join me and a panel of experts on June 10 for an in-depth discussion about tenant rights and advocacy. Our esteemed panel includes Stacey Semple, Downtown ACORN Leader at ACORN Canada, Alana Ruiz, Divisional Engagement Lead at RentSafeTO, Suchana Sundararajan, Staff Housing Lawyer at Neighbourhood Legal Services, and Drew Dyce, Trusteeship at Neighbourhood Information Post.

Renters deserve safe, affordable and secure housing. But with complex laws and regulations, it can be challenging to know our rights. How can you advocate for yourself and your community? What are your rights when it comes to rent control, eviction protection and maintenance standards? How can we build a stronger, more equitable housing system in Toronto?

Join us at TC Talks: Tenant Rights to explore these questions and more. Our panelists will share their expertise, and you'll have the chance to ask questions, share your experiences, and learn how to navigate tenant advocacy.

What: TC Talks: Tenant Rights
When: June 10, 6:00pm to 8:00pm
Where: Wellesley Community Centre, Multi-Purpose Room F (495 Sherbourne Street)

Join us and take this opportunity to learn from our experts and connect with fellow renters. Together, let's empower ourselves and our community on how to effectively advocate for fair and equitable housing in Toronto Centre! Remember to register through our link and join the conversation!

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.
