I always love visiting the Forest Hill Barber Shop. I’ve known these amazing guys my entire life- I deeply appreciate their friendship and support.

Etobicoke North would be well served by Ala’a Adib as their local City Councillor. She knows her neighbours, genuinely reflects the community, understands their priorities, and is ready to get results. Ala’a is an inspiring local advocate who already works hard to make Etobicoke North affordable, healthy and safe. It was a pleasure to visit with Ala’a to learn more about what’s important to her community.

To my friends at the Hellenic Home for the Aged, ευχαριστώ. Every time I visit, you always make me feel like family.

I enjoyed an amazing evening with our community in Cedarvale- and a really delicious dinner at Woodlyn’s, a new Jewish-Chinese fusion (yes, Jewish-Chinese fusion!) restaurant that recently opened on Eglinton Ave West. Thanks to Woodlyn’s Jeff Goldstein for your vision, Head Chef Josh Ling for your talent and GM Nick Ben for your hospitality! It’s a really cool new spot to check out. Love that it’s in Cedarvale!

Rachel Chernos-Lin is a kind, thoughtful and hardworking city councillor for Don Valley West. I really enjoy working with her and appreciate our friendship. I’m very proud to support her.

I’m proud to support EarlyON at our Yonge and Eglinton Community Centre and Mothercraft. Thank you to everyone in our community who participated in the Midtown Family Wellness Fair- sharing resources and services related to mental health and well-being, child growth and development, nutrition, safety, parenting, and family wellness.

A morning walk on the Beltline trail. Breathtaking.

Thank you to MP Vince Gasparro for inviting me to participate in a conversation with parents, school board reps, students and the Toronto Police about Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act. It was a very thoughtful discussion about ways to keep our kids safe online.

I recently joined my friend, Jonathan Okubay, and the Eritrean Canadian Sports League to meet some our city’s future soccer stars. This program is such a wonderful way for these kids to stay healthy, learn about teamwork and to celebrate community and their Eritrean heritage.

Thank you, Leslie for joining me this morning! I appreciate working with you to support our Toronto-St. Paul’s community and to advance our city’s priorities. It always begins by listening to our neighbours.

Ontario Place should be a fun, vibrant, green and public destination for everyone to enjoy. I was proud to move a motion at council to ensure the City of Toronto takes a stand and intervenes in support of a Supreme Court challenge against Doug Ford’s private Spa deal. It’s being heard today.

An early morning walk through the Cedarvale Ravine.

It was a pleasure to cheer on the Girl Guides selling cookies at Yonge and Eglinton this evening. It was also a pleasure, and obviously a civic duty, to eat the cookies I bought from them.

A few years ago, I moved a motion to fund and establish a new Youth Hub on Oakwood Ave. Since then, For Youth Initiative and their partners have done wonders with the space, helping our kids and community be safe, resilient and well. It was a pleasure to join their Savvy Seniors Tech program today that connects youth with older adults, learning from each other and developing friendships. ps- see that pic of me and that remarkable woman in the sweater? That’s Mama B. She’s one of the kindest, wisest and most wonderful people I’ve ever met.

The beautiful view from the Glen Cedar bridge here in Cedarvale. I have loved this since I was a kid.

Thank you to my friend, Vince Gasparro for joining me at Eglinton Station this morning. He’s a terrific MP for Eglinton-Lawrence and I really appreciate how well we work together for our Midtown community.

I visited the 580 Rollers, a group of older residents who are creating a NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) on Christie St- their building is on a site where their once was a rollerdrome, right across from the Wychwood Barns! We’re working together to support our community’s ability to age in place.
