With the warmer weather on the horizon I’ve been working hard to set up a proactive plan for the summer season at one of our neighbourhood’s most treasured Toronto gems: the waterfront. We’re addressing the concerning behaviour we saw in...
In late 2018, the Crescent Town Bridge collapsed. Thankfully no one was around at the time and there were no injuries as a result. The incident provoked some serious concerns about the maintenance and upkeep of the rest of Toronto's ~170 privately...
Yesterday was the public launch of the Danforth Corridor Study, in which we'll be mapping out the future of one of Toronto's most iconic streets. The study will be focusing on three areas; complete streets, vibrant retail & good planning. We...
Late last year, the Crescent Town Bridge partially collapsed. Thankfully there were no pedestrians around the bridge at the time and there were no injuries as a result. On November 19th from 6:30 - 8:30pm, join us at the Crescent Town ES -...

The Danforth Garage reached another milestone at City Council this week. This exciting project offers real economic opportunities to our community and city-wide significance, similar to that of the Distillery District and Wychwood Barns. The...

Hi Neighbours! With my first few months as councillor wrapping up, I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few thoughts and invite you to join the many productive conversations happening all over Beaches-East York to make our...
