Keeping your pup on a leash, picking up after your pet and making sure your dog is properly trained and socialized are all part of being a responsible pet parent.

🧵 Coyotes are from the same Family Canidae as wolves, jackals, foxes, and yes, our beloved family dog. They are sentient beings from other wild nations that are deserving of our reverence and respect.

As the next #TorontoMayor I will value our parks and community spaces by doubling the budget for these critical public assets from 3% to 6%.
As our population continues to rise, Torontonians need better access to parks and recreation to live active and healthy lives.

When it comes to creating an accessible waterfront, our goal is to not just follow the rules but lead the way. Read about our progress on Waterfront Accessibility Design Guidelines that will guide public realm design: bit.ly/3Np5Ev6

Green spaces and trees aren't ammenities, they're essential infrastructure for cities. And we agree, we need more #parks! Thanks for amplifying this critical message @tvo and Marc Berman.

Victim Services Toronto delivers immediate crisis response to those affected by crime and sudden tragedies.
That’s where Dandy comes in.
She’s Toronto’s very first Trauma Dog, providing the unconditional comfort and needed distraction from the agony of grief and trauma – with a great focus on children and youth.
I hope this program expands in the future and I encourage Torontonians to learn more about @VSToronto's important work: victimservicestoronto.com/pr…

A friendly reminder that feeding wildlife can be harmful to both animals and our neighbourhoods. The best way to help wildlife is to avoid feeding them. Letting animals forage for themselves is the only kindness they need. More info: toronto.ca/Coyotes

Help keep organic waste out of landfill by taking advantage of the Green Bins in Toronto parks. There are also dog poop receptacles in some street litter bins. You can use any bag for dog poop, it doesn’t have to be compostable or biodegradable. More at: toronto.ca/GreenBin

Dogs are welcome in parks and on trails but need to remain leashed.
If you are looking for a more leash-free lifestyle, visit one of our dogs off-leash areas.
love, parks

Reword this sign to make it sound less weird.
The preferred (but not the only) solution will fill in these blanks:

It was great to see the concept design options and hear community feedback at the Osler Playground meeting last night.
You can still give your input. There will be a pop-up consultation in the park on Saturday and there's on online survey as well: toronto.ca/city-government/p…

What a great shot. Hummingbirds are so amazing to watch. I also love their little chirps between drinks.
