We welcomed MP David Rutley and Fouzia Younis, the Consul General of the United Kingdom, to City Hall earlier this week.

It was great to discuss how we can continue to forge strong economic and cultural ties between Toronto and the UK. 🇨🇦🇬🇧

I wish the injured officer a quick recovery.

This week, three Toronto Police officers were injured doing their duties. One assaulted walking down the street, another hurt intervening in a car theft, and now this troubling incident. Violence is never acceptable.

Toronto needs electricity. To power new homes, new streetcars and subways, and more.

Today, I joined Todd Smith to announce consultations on our energy future. This is an important opportunity to determine how we will have a clean and reliable grid for the future.

What a great night!

I had so much fun joining old friends and new at tonight's Day of Pink Gala to celebrate incredible activists like Adrienne Rosen and Lamar Van Dyke of the Brunswick Four and Monica Helms, the creator of the trans flag, and more. A true honour. 🩷

The City of Toronto launched the Confronting Anti-Black Racism action plan five years ago. Now, as part of a 10-year action plan, we are renewing the process to assess our progress and next steps.

Students, teachers, parents and more are wearing pink today to show up and speak out against bullying of their 2SLGBTQIA+ peers. 🩷

Let's celebrate visibility in all its forms.

As-salam-alay-kum and Eid Mubarak!

It was an honour to join Eid congregations at Cornell Park in Scarborough and Dentonia Park near Victoria Park and Danforth to mark the end of Ramadan this morning. Thank you for welcoming me.

By doing this work, we’ll improve public confidence in City Services. People will be able to see the standards we’ve set and how we’re performing, with clear benchmarks and goals.

This is part of our ongoing work to get Toronto back on track. 6/6

It’s more transparency and accountability.

We are asking staff to report back on establishing a ward dashboard with 311 performance indicators, emerging or seasonal trends, geographic patterns, top issues, and more.

That way, we can get a complete picture. 5/6

It looks like simple changes like closing the loop with the person who wrote or called to make a request. Sometimes, simple actions like informing the residents that the road was fixed demonstrate that the City cares. That it listens and has your back. 4/6

It looks like integrating divisions, so the public has a uniform, consistent, helpful and positive experience accessing important City services.

Whether it’s waste collection, parks, water, animal services, road repairs or whatever else people need from their City. 3/6

Torontonians deserve high-quality, responsive City services.

By leveraging 311 data, we can focus on the services that need improvement and where to put new ones.

Today executive committee took a big step towards making these improvements a reality. 1/6
