Winchester Park is a smaller neighbourhood nestled between Cabbagetown and St. James Town. Located South of Wellesley and East of Sherbourne this small community has a number of heritage homes, Toronto Community Housing units and social service providers. This neighbourhood has a community organization made up of volunteers and residents named the Winchester Park Residents’ Association invested in improving the community.
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.
As your Councillor, I'm building a Toronto that's safe, livable, affordable, and commutable - for all of us.
After hearing from you at the door, on the street, at community events, at our town halls, and from letters and emails you’ve sent to me, my team and I are working hard to deliver.
Here's how this year's City budget will work for all of us:
The City, in partnership and collaboration with Dixon Hall, is completing rehabilitation and renovation work at 41 Rose Avenue and 502-508 Parliament Street. Achieving Toronto’s housing goals relies not only on building new supply but also maintaining, preserving, and protecting existing homes – especially deeply affordable housing. Once work is complete, these 49 homes will be operated by Dixon Hall and provide housing with supports for individuals currently experiencing homelessness, including young 2SLGBTQ+ women.
Our Encampment Dashboard provides updates encampments in parks, how we’re managing them, and outlines City’s new encampment protocol.
One of my priorities is using under-utilized City lands for deeply affordable housing, as part of a comprehensive plan to increase supportive and affordable housing in Toronto Centre.
In 2023, over 50% of rental units approved for demolition and replacement across the city were in Toronto Centre.
