St. Lawrence Market comes alive each summer, reflecting the city’s deep-rooted love for community, culture and celebration. Market Street transforms into a vibrant, pedestrian-only hub filled with live music, the aromas of fresh cuisine and the energy of patios, street performers and crowds enjoying every moment.
As we enjoy the warmer weather and explore the outdoors, remember to keep yourself and your pets safe from tick bites. Ticks are tiny but can transmit disease such as Lyme, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis and Powassan virus. Toronto is considered an established risk area for blacklegged ticks with 53 per cent of ticks testing positive for at least one reportable tickborne disease. The good news is that you can prevent ticks from getting attached to you or your dog at home or in the wild.
Last Friday marked a significant moment for our community: the final tiny home in St. James Park was removed after the individual residing there were permanently housed. This moment brings to a close one of the most visible and difficult chapters in our City’s housing crisis.
On July 7, 2025, the City of Toronto unveiled its latest findings from the 2024 Street Needs Assessment, highlighting the urgent need for effective responses to the growing homelessness crisis.

Too many Torontonians live in homes that have pests, mold, appliances that don’t work, and inadequate heat. That’s why, as part of the RentSafe program, Councillors Chris Moise and Josh Matlow are working with ACORN, FMTA, ACTO, NoDemovictions, the York South-Weston Tenants’ Union, and tenant associations from across the city to deliver an apartment rating system similar to the City's "DineSafe" program.
I’m still buzzing after another successful Pride weekend! I hope you were able to come out to the Village and stop by my booth this past weekend. I hope you and your family will be able to take a bit of a breather–despite the humidity–to enjoy the summer. My staff is hard at work planning future events, including a new set of neighbourhood town halls, for the fall, so if I hope I can see you out in the ward later this year.
At this past City Council, we provided direction on the future of sixplexes – “missing middle” housing consisting of buildings with up to four storeys and six units – in Neighbourhoods across the City. This was personally a very frustrating debate at City Council, and while there were some positives, a majority of my colleagues rejected sixplexes in their neighbourhoods. Beyond what that says for how we plan our City, it means that we are potentially walking away from tens of millions dollars in federal money under the Housing Accelerator Fund by refusing to advance sixplexes City-wide.
I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the residents who participated in our recent 2025 Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiative. We collected an impressive 55 ideas for capital projects across the eight neighbourhoods canvassed, and I look forward to reviewing them all.
