Huge win for migratory birds. The Royal Bank Plaza in has been retrofitted with @FeatherFriendly markers on its glass facades — breaking up reflections that birds mistake for the sky and trees. This project will save thousands from window strikes.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: Ontario needs to have AC in schools to deal with the increasing frequency and severity of climate-fuelled heat waves. This is a health and safety issue as well as an education issue. #onpoli https://t.co/9EdYMxOlbb

Now that May is here, the #NoMowMay campaign is underway. No Mow May encourages people to let the grass grow until June, giving wildflowers a chance to bloom and support pollinators. But is it enough? Read more in my latest post from the Greener Good. https://t.co/IGYicfEzLC

Omg omg omg I just scored tickets to the @taylorswift13 Cruel Summer Kickoff Party with a chance to win tickets to the Eras Tour!!! This is nuts. My husband has been calling @935todayradio every morning for weeks, and I JUST signed up and called for the first time 😆

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

Breaking: my kids were 10 minutes early for school! My 8-year-old just learned Long Live on ukulele (thanks to @m_layton) and she couldn’t wait to get to music class and show everyone. @taylorswift13 for the win!

I never bought a can of tuna packed in oil until recently, when I read a tip from @Chatelaine that it's more flavourful. OMG what a difference. Game changer.

And yes, after taking a VERY long break from this platform, that is what I came to say. You're welcome.

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

@tyronemund Ugh, have we learned nothing? I don't get it.

Hey @cbcfreshair the mystery bird is a house wren!

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

@Raffi_RC Yep, this may be the last straw for me!

���I invite you to join us. Let’s build a Toronto that is more affordable, safe and caring — where everyone belongs.”

People have waited a very, very long time for this type of leadership. What a breath of fresh air!

The Chain of Office may be heavy, but Olivia can handle it. She’s the strongest woman I know. And her words today reminded me that there is strength in love, strength in empathy, and strength in community.

We’re in good hands, Toronto.

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

@samantabasin You and everyone else! It was incredible ❤️

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

@g_meslin @oliviachow This is just so freaking awesome.

[Jake Tobin Garrett @jaketobin]

Today @oliviachow officially becomes mayor of Toronto—something that makes me hopeful for this city. Whether you voted for her or not, I think most agree things needs to change in TO. So give her a wave of support if you see her riding around on her flower-festooned bike. 💐

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

@spynamedharriet I was!

[Brett Elizabeth Tryon @bretttryon]

4 people staffing one wading pool in Toronto. What is the rationale for this?
