New from The Local Magazine’s Art + Money series.

Art allows one to imagine a better world. It should go hand-in-hand with parenthood, but as Graham Isador writes, that's not always the economic reality. thelocal.to/arts-parenthoo… via The Local Magazine

Thank you so much for this honour! Such a great team effort Nick Hune-Brown Wency Leung Tai Huynh And shout-out to The Local Magazine for providing space for this story. Appreciated this opportunity to dive into the music and lives of #punjabi #canadian artists, international students

A couple of weeks ago I visited Clay and Paper Theatre's studio in the Sterling lofts. They'll be forced out at the end of the month, their 5th studio in 12 years. I wrote about what's lost when a city no longer supports its artists. thelocal.to/toronto-art-cl…

📢Introducing the Art + Money Issue! For the next two weeks we'll be publishing stories about making art and making a living in Toronto in 2024. thelocal.to/spring-2024/

Beyond thrilled. As a non-profit newsroom focused on issues affecting often overlooked corners of Toronto, the spotlight of these national awards means a great deal to us, and I hope, the communities on which we report.

Great campaign.

Writing about my vision loss has lead to a lot of work in TV and journalism. I wanted to pay it forward.

As CEO of Harrington Housing, Jonas Emre says he’s “transforming” the rental sector with a new model of flexible co-living. Tenants tell Jay Cockburn he’s evicting them, subdividing their apartments, and attempting to sidestep the protections of the RTA. thelocal.to/harrington-hou…

Incredible investigation from Jay Cockburn connecting the dots on one lawyer-turned-diplomat-turned-landlord who appears to be tied to a series of embattled new housing projects operating in the grey zones of tenants' rights.

It is time to regulate prices of healthy food just like any other utility--bold idea from Dr. Kwame McKenzie Wellesley Institute thestar.com/opinion/contri…
