Dear residents,
While we remain in uncertain times, I am very optimistic that if we face the challenges in front of us over the next few weeks, and follow public health guidance, we will be in a far better place in 2022. And as always, our community will support each other and we will never lose sight of our priorities.

In our west end, thank you to the Executive Director- Lisa Tobio from the York-Fairbank Centre for Seniors and her team for providing outreach to our community's seniors. Stay tuned for news on how I'm working with local organizations and health partners to get Toronto-St. Paul's residents vaccinated. |
COVID-19 Vaccine Information & How to Stay Informed:
One of the most important things you can do to help end this pandemic is to be vaccinated. This will not only keep you safe, but your family, friends and neighbours, too. Vaccination is underway for Phase 1 and Phase 2 in the Province’s vaccination program. Details about Phase 3 timing, who is eligible and the status of completed vaccinations for Ontario is on the Province’s website. I’ve heard from many of you that the Province’s vaccine roll-out has been confusing and it’s been hard to understand exactly when one is eligible. This is why I’ve decided to create a “one-stop shop” for our Toronto-St.Paul’s community to provide you with all relevant information available to us. Please visit my website here to learn more.

Dear residents,
The arrival of a COVID-19 vaccine in Canada means we’re now starting the beginning of the end of this pandemic. However, how soon we arrive at the finish line, and how many of us get there, will depend on all of us. Let’s continue to take care of each other.
City Council Approves Expansion of Sidewalk Snow Clearing
As many of you know, I've been advocating for the harmonization of sidewalk snow clearing services across all City of Toronto neighbourhoods for many years. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing us all to be outdoors, I've been urging my colleagues on Council since September to get this done once and for all.
