Extreme heat is a housing justice issue.
CA law requires landlords to provide heat, but not cooling. New LA County rules will finally require cooling in rental homes starting in 2027, recognizing that safe housing means protection from dangerous heat too.

Mayors ask the Premier to allow for speed cameras in school zones to keep our kids safe.

AMO strongly disagrees with the decision to ban speed cameras.
We will continue to advocate for targeted ways to strengthen the program, rather than losing one of the best tools we have to improve road safety and keep kids safe.

Ford's promise to remove safety cameras is just plain dangerous.
Safety cameras are placed near schools to stop aggressive driving and protect children from being seriously injured or killed by a car.

An important update for all of Ontario re: homelessness: the Superior Court has ruled in favour of encampment residents in Waterloo Region.
The Region is restrained from enforcing a by-law to clear an encampment until the constitutionality of the by-law can be determined.
👍The Court has granted an injunction for the 100Vic Encampment Case! The Region is restrained from enforcing its Site-Specific By-law until the constitutionality of the bylaw can be determined following the hearing in November.
