Heavy rain is on the way. Please clear leaves and debris from catch basins near your home to help reduce flood risk.

In 2018 Doug Ford promised he wouldn't touch rent control.

He lied.

Now he has the audacity to blame renters for his failure to build housing and make life affordable for the people of Ontario.

Expand bulk bus passes beyond universities. What a great idea.

1Hood Power @1hoodpower.bsky.social · 3d

Under the program, a sponsor such as a business, school or apartment owner can buy 31-day passes that usually cost $97.50 for $28 as long as they make them available to everyone in their group, commit to the program for a year & charge the recipient $28 or less.

Busy morning in Bay Ward starting at Woodroffe Avenue Public School Book Sale, Woodroffe United Church Bazaar, Our Lady of Fatima Bazaar and New Orchard Extendicare Bazaar. Great bargains everywhere for many good causes. The best part is meeting with residents in our community.

If you like the sound of ‘puppy walker’ Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind needs you

Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind is in need of volunteers, and one of the tasks could be to raise puppies to help give others freedom and independence.

Joined local organizer Chris, @tkavanaghbayward.bsky.social and @seanDevine9.bsky.social to protest the Province’s elimination of speed cameras. Thanks to residents both east and west for standing up for road safety and our most vulnerable: kiddos. And way to go to the kiddos who led our chants!
