Toronto now has a City-Wide Dog Off-Leash Strategy

I am happy to share that after years of advocacy and a year and a half since my motion was adopted by Council, we now have a comprehensive City-Wide Dog Off-Leash Strategy in place. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Toronto Dog Park Community, Paws for Parks, and the residents of Toronto Centre for their persistent advocacy and input throughout this process.

Councillor Update - May 2025

Spring is here and after the seesawing of temperatures in April, I hope we will all be able to enjoy some beautiful weather. Mother's Day is May 11, a time for some to celebrate their relationship with their mother(s), family and friends, for others to hold space to grieve. There are also many who have complicated relationships to their mother or children, and they too need love and support. I hope regardless of your situation, that the day can be one where you can focus on supporting yourself and the people important in your life.
