Together with allies we're getting the message to the ON gov: Heat is deadly and growing worse because of climate change. We have solutions to protect the health of seniors, children, workers, tenants, unhoused people and others at an increased risk ➡️ loom.ly/KGSSO-o
“These transit lanes are a win-win," says @HowSenChong from TEA. "They will move more people quickly to where they need to go, and help Toronto cut pollution and make important progress towards its climate goals." #topoli
In addition to immediate actions to ensure pools stay open (in line with worker health and safety rules), I am introducing a motion this week that strengthens the City's response to extreme heat: - Deploying more water trucks for everyone and providing 500,000 water bottles to frontline agencies for people experiencing homelessness. (Note: the water trailers are out right now, this is so we can deploy them more frequently) - Reviewing the 2019 shift away from dedicated cooling centres towards the current heat relief approach. - Partnering with the Red Cross to expand outreach to vulnerable people during extreme heat. - Ensuring we have a system where medical professionals and others are on-call when heat threatens our ability to provide City pools for people, like on Sunday. A stronger response to extreme heat will help more people stay safe and healthy.
Shipley's donuts is 0.3 mi from our house. My daughters INSISTED on biking on Sun morning. I regretted giving in to their demand. Thanks to @HoustonTX making sidewalks abutting property owner responsibility and @CenterPoint not caring this is the experience. 1/2
Ontario's 2025 budget includes significant continued investment in transit. A welcome new addition to the government's transit map is the Sheppard (Line 4) West subway extension. Looking forward to @Metrolinx continuing planning for this critical transit project.
