Yesterday, Toronto Public Health issued a bulletin with respect to the cases of the undiagnosed viral pneumonia which are being investigated by health authorities in the City of Wuhan, in central China. Chinese authorities have engaged the World Health Organization (WHO) to assist with the investigation. The WHO reports that the main symptoms of this pneumonia are a fever followed by difficulty breathing. Toronto Public Health is not aware of any reported cases of this illness in Canada and the overall risk to residents is considered very low.
From my family to yours – Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy New Year, Happy Holidaysand Season’s Greetings!
Dear Neighbour:
I want to thank those of you who visited my website and took part in the City Budget Increase Survey.
Although slightly more people voted for the “Do not increase our taxes” option than the “Raise our taxes” option, I voted in favour of the building levy increase because I have been assured that part of the increase will be used for the extension of the Sheppard Subway.
I hope this message finds you and your family well.
