This fall, we are continuing the tradition and hosting a Seniors’ Information Session. The Seniors’ Information Session is designed to help seniors and their families learn about the benefits and programs offered by the Municipal, Provincial and Federal governments, as well as community organizations. Representatives will be setting up booths where you can obtain information and ask questions about the services they provide; discuss issues of interest to you; and, express your concerns. Many of the participants will be making presentations.
The City of Toronto will offer a wide variety of activities for residents over the Labour Day long weekend, with many family attractions open. On Labour Day – Monday, September 5 – City recreation centres will be closed and their recreation programs will not operate.
Presenters . Toronto Police Service; RCMP; Consumer Protection Services of Ontario; and, Bank of Canada.
Incidents such as home and car break ins; Canada Revenue Agency scam calls threatening residents to pay fines or go to jail; immigration related calls; and, aggressive door-to door sales people claiming that they want to check furnaces, hot water heaters and air conditioners to see if the homeowner is eligible for an upgrade. These incidents can cost you thousands of dollars!
Join us at the Safety Town Hall and learn how to protect yourself!
Should the speed limit on Pharmacy Avenue be lowered?
Recently, City of Toronto staff prepared a report which indicated that lower speeds on residential streets will reduce the risk of major injuries to pedestrians and cyclists in the event of a crash.
Let’s Clean Toronto Together!
It’s time for Toronto’s annual spring clean-up, known as Let’s Clean Toronto Together!
Why not gather your friends, neighbours, co-workers and classmates to clean up a park, laneway or other space that needs your help.
Spring is a time for renewal and growth. Many residents will be participating in special activities to prepare for the growing season. Meanwhile, residents continue to be involved in projects to help further strengthen our community and make it safer.
I have communicated with many of you, on numerous occasions, with respect to issues affecting the residents of Ward 39, by having volunteers deliver flyers to your doors thus saving the City of Toronto Postage Fees. Unfortunately, volunteers cannot enter apartment buildings and I have been unable to communicate with Ward 39 residents who live in high-rise buildings, as access to these buildings is limited.
