I am calling on you, the residents of Parkdale-High Park, to join me and a group of community leaders on Monday, February 8 at 7pm, as we examine the 2021 Proposed City Budget, and discuss what we can do to improve our City going forward.

Today I attempted to get the Federal Government to use the emergency powers to open up vacant hotel and apartment buildings to house the 4000 Torontonians who are living in shelters or in encampments. Sadly, Council didn't agree. https://youtu.be/oWSe4EHK2IQ

Today I was joined by Kristyn Wong-Tam and Mike Layton in calling for the Federal government to use its emergency powers to expropriate vacant units for emergency housing. Paula Fletcher was also in support but could not attend. Here's the press conference: https://youtu.be/Y9t1gIH09U0

With new information coming out daily, it is difficult to know where to turn to make sure our views are heard on how we can rebuild a fairer, more just Toronto. Join me on Monday to discuss how we can organize during a global pandameic. I hope you see you there.
