  • Back in the Tower Again
    MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position.

    Mayor Crombie’s State of the City Address 2015 Mayor’s Annual Address Luncheon Mississauga Board of Trade Delivered September 22, 2015 CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you, Jim, for the kind introduction [Jim Molyneux MNP]. And thank you to the Mississauga Board of Trade for organizing this opportunity to deliver my inaugural State of the City Address. MBOT holds an important place in our community, representing nearly 1,500 businesses from Port Credit to Churchill Meadows; from Cooksville to Streetsville; from Meadowvale to Malton; and all neighbourhoods in between. The leadership of MBOT are respected partners called upon by Council to develop solutions for Mississauga. Together, we work to achieve our common goals to attract foreign-direct investment and help aspiring entrepreneurs, along with established businesses, to achieve unrivaled success right here in Mississauga! I would like to acknowledge Sheldon Leiba, for his many years of leadership. And I wish to reiterate my congratulations to David Wojcik as he takes the helm of MBOT. It is never easy filling big shoes. Trust me, David! All of Council looks forward to working closely with you, Chair Jeffrey Percival, and your entire team. Today, we gather on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the New Credit, a Mississauga Objibwa First Nation with a history dating back centuries ago. It is only fitting that our City’s motto reads: “ Pride in our past, Faith in our future.” And it is the genuine appreciation, understanding, and pride that we have in our past; which gives us the confidence to have faith in our future; and to overcome challenges before us.

  • June 25, 2020 the Honourable Chrystia Freeland Privy Council
    June 25, 2020 The Honourable Chrystia Freeland Privy Council Office Room 1000 85 Sparks Street Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A3 Dear Deputy Prime Minister Freeland, We are writing to you, in our capacity as Members of Parliament representing ridings in the Regional Municipality of Durham, in regards to the Region’s federal funding priorities. The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the delivery of public services by all levels of government. Durham Region was no exception and they had to adapt with new, innovative measures to ensure that workers, businesses and families are well protected. As an example, the Region of Durham partnered with local child-care operators and home child-care agencies in Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington and Uxbridge to offer free emergency child care for the children of front line and essential workers. To support unsheltered residents, the Region of Durham also worked with community partners to open the In/Out of The Crisis (IOTC) program at Camp Samac in Oshawa, Ontario. The facility served as a temporary location to provide shelter for the homeless and is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with appropriate physical distancing measures and security to protect vulnerable residents. These are just a couple of the programs the Region of Durham has been able to offer it’s residents. Unfortunately, the Region of Durham is currently facing a $40.5 million shortfall as a result of COVID-19 related expenditures. To contain this impact, they’ve worked to build community resilience and create a Regional Recovery Plan with opportunities to work in partnership with the federal government.
