Visiting a number of existing townhouse developments in North York today. Learning from our past about the importance of public realm, the location of our utilities and garbage areas and having enough room for our trees. Will this all change soon?

@Michael_A_Mizzi @CityPlanTO @GreggLintern Hey, why did I get left out? Now you'll have to take another one with james, kyle, david, adriana and myself.

Toronto’s planning department has significant recruitment & retention problems. Vacancy rate is ~13%. 25% of staff are new since Jan 2020. “Pay scales for both unionized and non-unionized staff are not competitive with both public and private employers.”https://t.co/aURGcV2QnU

Enjoying the day at ID8 with the Northcrest, CLC and city of toronto team. Standing on the Bombardier runway. Luckily no planes are landing #gregglintern

First time getting together with North York Planning staff. A great opportunity to learn about CPTED principles (crime prevention through environmental design) during our walking tour

@kristynwongtam @jpags Wow! What a shock and great loss for the city. Good luck in your next great adventure. I see minister of municipal affairs and housing your future!!

@dmrider @joe_cressy All the best joe. It was a pleasure working with you.

[David Sit @davidsitplanTo]

@g_meslin I agree. Same thing with the ice cream person.

AZ is a safe & effective vaccine.
However, some have transient side effects.

If you were too unwell to Zoom to work....imagine having to perform manual labour.

All workers need paid vax time & paid time off for vaccine-related symptoms.

Let's remove all barriers to vaccination

#ActiveTO is coming back, starting this weekend! Head down to Lake Shore between Leslie and Woodbine for some extra space for your essential fresh air and exercise.

Get outside to enjoy the weather and the mental health benefits that come with it!

"I think what we learned today essentially seals the fate for Ontario. We're going to be triaging patients in Ontario's ICUs," Dr. Michael Warner says.

If @fordnation wants to know how bad this is....and will continue to be...@CNN is interviewing me about the horrifying situation in Ontario....and how it will get worse.

We are Breaking News....and will continue to be because you are leading us into the abyss.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

Today I learned:
- @fordnation doesn't care about my patients or that they are primarily poor & racialized Canadians
- essential workers will continue to die
- triage will happen
- Ontarians have not only been abandoned, but also blamed by @ongov for our collective situation

As the Toronto Star recently reported: According to data from Toronto Public Health, a full 68 per cent of all workplace COVID-19 outbreaks so far have taken place in offices, warehouses, construction sites and food processing plants. (many open still!) #onpoli

More in unwanted #MZO news: The township of Ramara expressed a need for planned development; @SteveClarkPC responded with an MZO, taking all legal authority away from them.

I know there’s been a lot of confusion about the use of MZOs – so I want to give you a few examples of the great outcomes they’re achieving – while working in partnership and protecting the environment...

WE WON!!!

I'm pleased to share the good news that, Justice David L. Corbett granted interim relief to stay the decision of the Government of Ontario to demolish the heritage buildings at the Dominion Foundry Complex.

We'll continue our fight to #SaveTheFoundry.

[Friends of the Foundry @FoundryFriends]

Time is running out for comment on the proposed amendment to the Planning Act that removes municipal site plan control in the case of MZOs. The deadline is January 30. Please read and consider the notice here: https://t.co/pxyLD7HWou
