Dear Constituent:

I hope this message finds you and your family well.

Last Thursday, I hosted a Town Hall Meeting for the new SmartTrack – GO Transit station planned for Finch – Kennedy (which is proposed with no parking lot).  City of Toronto and Metrolinx staff attended, listened and answered questions from residents on this station.

City Planning is NOT supportive of a Pick-Up and Drop-Off centre at the station or a Commuter Parking Lot. This is a mistake. My position on a Commuter Parking Lot is clear: Suburban residents north of the 401 must have the ability to drive to the station to take transit downtown. Without a parking lot, commuters will pass on taking transit and this will increase gridlock.

I want to take this opportunity to share information on news and events happening in Scarborough-Agincourt and across the city. Particularly:

 

  • Beverly Glen School Pumpkin Parade
  • Steeles/Agincourt featured in Toronto Life’s November Issue
  • News: A majority of Torontonians identify themselves as Visible Minorities
  • St. Sylvester Separate School visit to City Hall
  • Safety Reminders and Warnings
  • Birchmount-McNicoll Street Light Installation
  • Road Resurfacing, Sidewalk, and Curb Repairs on Ambercroft Boulevard
  • L’Amoreaux Park North Planting Plan for Fall 2017
  • McNicoll Bus Garage Weekend Work
  • Toastmasters Meetings for Public Speaking Development
  • Nominations for Women of Distinction Awards
  • Neighbourhood Grants Call for Applications
  • WaterSource “Not Down The Drain” Campaign
  • Toronto Public Health Free Flu Vaccinations
  • Weekend events with Road Closures in Toronto

If you would like your community event to be included in our next e-newsletter please contact my office. For any questions, I can be reached by phone at 416-392-1374 or by e-mail at jim@karygiannis.net.

Please take a minute and pass this email to your neighbors, family and friends.         Read More…  October 26 2017 E-Newsletter

Dear Constituent:

I hope this message finds you and your family well and that you are enjoying these last warm days of summer.

Especially at this time of year, it is important to remind ourselves to stay safe while driving our children to school. You may have noticed “Slow Down Signs” on the lawns near schools. These serve to remind passing motorists that they are in a school zone and must slow down. If you would like a “Slow Down Sign” delivered to your home for use on your lawn, please click here.

Dear Constituent:

I hope this message finds you and your family well and that you are enjoying summer in Toronto.

You may have noticed my team members at your door in recent weeks. We are knocking on doors in the ward to say hello and to pass on a message to complete our Ward 39 Rooming House Survey. As you know, the City is pushing through a pilot project that would allow Rooming Houses in our community as a “temporary study.” My position is clear: I am against Rooming Houses. If you have not completed the survey, please access it through my website at the following link and I appreciate your feedback: http://karygiannis.net/wp/local-engagement-3
