I Want to Hear from You

Earlier this year, I wrote about how public engagement is changing, and how important it is that we meet people where they are. Throughout the summer and fall, my team and I were out in neighbourhoods across Don Valley North, knocking on doors and speaking directly with residents about what matters most to you.

Those conversations are always the most valuable part of this job.

With winter and snow now upon us, door-to-door conversations are a little harder, so we want to try something new.

I’m inviting you to take a few minutes to complete a short community survey so I can hear directly from you about your priorities.

Tell me about your experience on your street or in your building. What’s working? What isn’t? Are City services meeting your expectations?

I’d like to know how you experience the infrastructure you use every day — our parks, the Toronto Transit Commission, community centres, roads, sidewalks, and snow clearing. Are they working the way you expect them to? What could we be doing differently?

I also want your input on this E-Blast We try to keep these updates focused on timely issues and local developments, but there may be City topics you’d like explained more clearly — from budgeting to development approvals to public safety. Tell me what you’d like to read more about.

Your feedback helps shape my advocacy at City Hall and ensures our office focuses on what matters most to you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Reminder: Join Us This Saturday to Celebrate Lunar New Year

I’m looking forward to celebrating Lunar New Year with you this Saturday at our Don Valley North community gathering.

This year, we welcome the Year of the Horse, a symbol of energy, resilience, and determination. The Horse represents strength, optimism, and forward momentum, qualities that reflect the spirit of our Don Valley North community. As we step into a new year, it’s a time for fresh beginnings, good fortune, and coming together with friends and neighbours.

Community celebrations like this mean a great deal to me. Don Valley North is strengthened by its rich cultural traditions, and I’m always grateful for the opportunity to gather, celebrate, and honour the many communities that make our neighbourhood so vibrant.

I hope you’ll join me, MP Maggie Chi, and MPP Jonathan Tsao for a festive afternoon of culture, performances, and celebration.
