News & Updates

More than 130 residents participated in community safety meetings hosted by my office and Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) this spring in St. James Town and Moss Park. The meetings brought together residents, TCHC staff, Toronto Police Service, the City's Violence Intervention and Support Unit, Fred Victor, and Unison Health and Community Services to discuss local safety concerns and identify solutions.

RentSafeTO’s colour coding system goes live on June 15, 2026.  Just like with DineSafe, rental buildings will have signs to display near the main entrance of each applicable building, indicating that the rating of the building is green, yellow, or red.  It’s a great way to ensure that landlords act swiftly to address issues, and I hope that displaying a green sign will quickly become a real point of pride for landlords.

The REmarket is a community event to promote the REmarketing of usable post-consumer goods that can be REused, REpaired, and REcycled and to REthink our purchasing decisions by taking Responsible actions in our consumption of material goods. This two- day community event is for people to drop off and swap unwanted goods to prevent them from being sent to landfill.
