The shootings at synagogues in the GTA are horrifying and unacceptable. Places of worship should be spaces of safety, not targets of violence.

We must stand together against antisemitism and hatred, which have no place in our communities or our country.

Great to see so many people come out to last night’s open house on the revitalization of Queen’s Park North. Thank you for sharing your ideas and feedback on this vital public space.

I'm encouraged by strong support for preserving precious green space while improving the park for everyone. 🌳

As distant conflict brings pain & division at home, our history as Torontonians reminds us that friendship is stronger than discord. That’s why I’m working with Rev. Wendell Gibbs & other faith leaders to foster dialogue. Thank you to everyone who joined us and showed leadership in difficult times.

Thank you to everyone who came out last night to our 2026 Budget Town Hall!

We had a great discussion, and I'm grateful for the thoughtful ideas & questions. While the mayor ultimately decides on the budget, your insights help guide my advocacy for what matters most in University-Rosedale.

This week, we pause to remember those brave individuals who fought, those who fell, and those who continue to serve. Their courage lives on in all of us.

Mark the occasion tomorrow at Soldier's Tower at the University of Toronto.
