The Upper Jarvis neighbourhood is a dynamic community with numerous highrise condominiums and apartment buildings with select heritage properties. There are many new residents to Toronto with passionate members looking to improve their neighbourhood. There are volunteer community members who make up the Upper Jarvis Neighbourhood Association who advocate for the needs of the community.

It’s been a very busy fall and winter in Toronto Centre and at City Hall, and I’m proud to see that more and more results are visibly taking shape.
Together, we’ve made real progress and delivered real results. Encampments in our parks are now virtually zero: the plan that my team and I have put in place, in conjunction with fast responses by our City’s social services partners, has meant that hundreds of people have now come out of the cold and into supportive and transitional housing, where they can better access the supports and services they need.
Similarly, here in Toronto Centre we’ve achieved 10,257 housing starts: we’re building and delivering more housing and affordable housing. We’ve acquired a new, much larger building for the St Lawrence Library to move to in a couple of years so that it can serve Moss Park as well. We even made our voices heard and reversed a proposed cut to the Downtown East Action Plan – which now will really start ramping up this spring and summer.
This year, the clocks “spring forward” at 2:00am on Sunday, March 8. The start of daylight saving time means fewer daylight hours in the morning hours and reduced visibility for all road users. As the clocks “spring forward”, I am reminding all Torontonians, especially those driving, to stay alert, obey the speed limit and help keep Toronto’s streets safe for everyone.
The City of Toronto has issued 2026 interim property tax bills. Property owners who pay their interim property tax bill by the regular installment schedule should note that payments are due March 2, April 1 and May 1. Final tax bills will be mailed in May.
On February 13, the City of Toronto welcomed 58 new Traffic Agents to help ease congestion and keep Toronto moving safely. The City now has more than 100 active Traffic Agents who are deployed to some of Toronto’s most congested intersections during peak periods to effectively manage the safe movement of vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
