Councillor’s Corner - June 2022

Dear Resident,

As we continue into July, I hope you are keeping healthy and safe while enjoying the summer weather. The City of Toronto has a wide range of seasonal recreational options, fitness programs, arts and festivals for you to explore. To check out a complete list, please visit toronto.ca. Let’s get out and connect with one another.

The City is encouraging qualified residents to apply for lifeguard, swim instructor, and aquatic roles at our swimming pools. More information about the positions available can be found by visiting jobs.toronto.ca/recreation/

The Toronto Public Library announced a new partnership with Ontario Parks. You can now borrow an Ontario Parks Pass with your library card and get day access to over 100 parks. Learn more by visiting tpl.ca/onparkspass

Thank you to all who attended the Western North York Community Recreation Centre and Child Care Open House on June 9 at Carmine Stefano Community Centre. It was a pleasure to meet with residents in the neighbourhood who provided their comments, suggestions and insight regarding the new public space. Contact me to learn more or visit createyourplace.ca for the virtual tour.

I also want to thank residents for attending the in-person Community Consultation Meeting for 2345 Finch Ave. W. at Emery Collegiate Institute. Contact me to join my working group on the file and continue to have your say on this upcoming development. Local input is essential to ensuring the best results. My staff, Matias or Rachel, will be in touch with you and can link you with the City Planner, Henry Tang, for additional assistance.

I was happy to attend many graduation ceremonies throughout schools in Humber River-Black Creek in June. I want to congratulate all of the graduates and wish them many successes in their future endeavours. Students who are looking to get involved in my Ward 7 Youth Council initiatives over the summer can reach out to my office for details.
