Working with Toronto Atmospheric Fund, Toronto Energy Efficiency Office, Toronto Environment Office and Toronto Hydro we have started the Solar Neighbourhoods program to install solar hot water systems in Ward 30 residences. This groundbreaking pilot project is the only one in the City and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve local air quality. The funds, in part provided by provincially mandated funding from the Portlands Energy Centre will provide grants and interest free loans to interested residents.

Major items included snow clearing, Ontario Line truck safety, blue bin collection, removal of provincial tenant protections, zoning changes to allow for more residential retail and more.
We considered issues such as speed cameras, expanding the Toronto Community Crisis Service to the TTC and more, as well as several of my motions.
My latest newsletter looks back at the major accomplishments and moments in Toronto-Danforth and at City Hall over the last year.
