We're Back with a Brief Update
It’s time for the return of my weekly E-Blast!
If you’re a longtime reader, welcome back. If you’ve joined our list more recently, you can expect to hear from my office every Thursday. With a few exceptions for holidays, my team and I will bring together the municipal updates, community news, and event announcements we think you’ll want to know about, all in one weekly email.
Each week, I’ll share a column on a current municipal issue or something I’m seeing through my various committee and Board roles. If the column isn’t for you that week, feel free to scroll straight to the Community Updates section. That’s where my team and I will share information about upcoming meetings and town halls, project notices that may affect your commute, events happening across the ward, and important public updates from City divisions and agencies.
If you’re interested in what happens in the Council Chamber, including the decisions Council makes and what they mean for Don Valley North, watch for my monthly “Council Highlights” E-Blast. If growth and development are your main interest, notices for consultation meetings will appear in Community Updates. Every few months, I’ll also publish a “Development Updates” column with an overview of active applications across the ward and where each one stands in the City’s review process.
Right now, Council is preparing for the inaugural meeting of the new term on Wednesday, November 18. The City’s standing committees, including Planning and Housing and Infrastructure and Environment, will begin meeting after that. Today, I chaired another meeting of the Toronto Police Service Board, where members continue the important year-round work of overseeing the Toronto Police Service.
In the meantime, elected representatives are taking our oaths of office and getting back to work with our teams. My staff are following up on active neighbourhood cases that came to us over the summer and fall, and our office is open for business. If you have a new concern that you’ve been waiting to share, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
I’ll have more news for you next week. Until then, let’s keep working together to make Don Valley North the best place to be.
