Participated in the Wexford Heights BIA and Zero Waste Scarborough community cleanup. It was wonderful to see community members come together to help keep our neighbourhood clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to an honest and important conversation about mental health, wellness, and community support. #MentalHealthMatters

Delighted to see so many residents come out to participate in this meaningful discussion. Thank you to our incredible panelists Omar Allison, Michelle Jubin, Alex Boross-Harmer and Liben Gebremikael for sharing their time, expertise, and lived experience.

Yesterday, I was pleased to host a Mental Health Forum at the Scarborough Civic Centre. Conversations like these are so important because mental health affects every family, every community, and every stage of life.

This is a wonderful opportunity to meet local artists, learn about their creative process, and view or purchase artwork directly from the artists themselves. Your support helps celebrate and uplift the incredible talent in our community. #ScarboroughArtTrail #ScarboroughArtists

Celebrate local creativity at the Scarborough Art Trail! On Saturday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., residents are invited to enjoy a free art display featuring 35 talented Scarborough artists across four locations in central Scarborough.

This is an important opportunity to position our city and province at the centre of global leadership in defence, security, and resilience, while also supporting job creation, innovation, and long-term economic growth across Canada. #Toronto #Ontario #Canada
