The Ontario Science Centre was shamefully closed by the Ford government. Now, we can’t allow it to be lost due to neglect. Please join us Sat, May 23, 1:30-4:30pm at Metro Hall to discuss realistic ways to bring it back to life, to serve the public again. https://t.co/dLGOFdnFV8

When you gotta go, you gotta go.

We're in investing $420 million on fixing, repairing, and expanding parks and recreation facilities — including washrooms!

Many are now open for the season, with plans for more year-round facilities. Check https://t.co/sdMblLCKjc for latest.

With just 182 public washrooms throughout the city, Toronto has a “severe” shortage...To remedy the problem, the TPSC recently launched a global design competition called TO the Loo! geared at “(imagining) the future of public washrooms” @TorontoStar

“It’s such a basic human function, and when you take that away from public space, you make public space less accessible for everybody,” Martin told @torontotodayca

What will the four parties do about homelessness? Check it out!

There is still one party — the @OntarioPCParty — who have committed to making homelessness a crime in public space.

You can still let them know they can and should change their mind:

🚨 Media is not watching this one but they should.
This afternoon at 1 PM, the government's "Private Bill" tabled for the publicly owned, Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries, will be heard at the Standing Committee on Procedure & House Affairs. #onpoli

[Kristyn Wong-Tam 🇨🇦 @kristynwongtam]

Read Section 8 of Private Bill 55, "An Act Respecting Mount Pleasant Group of Cemeteries." It repeals 13 sections of various bills, some going back to 1874. https://t.co/MVBLC4uYJP

Why is the gov't using private legislation to amend public laws governing a public entity?
