Congrats @SomaliCentreTO on another milestone! Growing up in Etobicoke, I saw a new community make Toronto home and am excited to see you deepen the roots.

An important step forward on a very important initiative. The Somali community has been working hard and looking forward for too long, this moves the plan forward in a meaningful way. 👏👏👏

For over 40 years, Toronto’s Somali community has dreamed of creating a Somali Centre for Culture & Recreation. Today, we took a significant step toward turning that dream into reality. I love & admire the leaders at @SomaliCentreTO. They will always have my friendship & support.
Somali Community Centre item is ADOPTED 22-1. CreateTO will work with community group to explore viability of sites on shortlist.

My wife Melissa and I were deeply touched to join Toronto’s Muslim communities this evening for an Iftar dinner at city hall, hosted by @MayorOliviaChow and @ausmalik. At every table, and from every part of our city, I was amongst so many friends. Ramadan Mubarak.
Join us at the Somali Centre Community Town Hall on April 13, 2-5PM @ Weston Collegiate Institute! Unveiling consultation results, sharing our vision for the future, and more! Don't miss out! Register here: [Link in bio] #CommunityTownHall #SomaliCentre

TDSB's Somali Heritage Committee, w/ the SCCR, is excited to be showcasing Somali Heritage Night at Kipling Collegiate on Fri, Feb 9. This is a first where the TDSB is hosting an event celebrating the dhaqan of Somali students & families! - Free tix via tickettailor.com/events/somalic…
I wonder what would happen if these ideas became neighborhood and community efforts instead of overpriced memberships that gate keep collective care.

At the same time, the City is sitting on a half a billion dollars (yes, you read that right — $644,969,273 as of a 2021 report) in cash-in-lieu reserve funds for parkland acquisition.
Today, Blackhurst Community Centre (@ADBCC777) celebrated the signing of their lease for a larger space in the new Mirvish Village at Bloor and Bathurst. This Black-led organization does critical work to reclaim space, build up pride, and fight for economic and social justice.

A major thank you to Councillor @PasternakTO for his work on the Student Nutrition program over the years. This has not been an easy path, while such an important cause!
Student nutrition programs in 619 school communities provide about 227K meals per day. City has budgeted $19 million to support programs this year. TPH looking for more prov/fed funds to support current programs, and making push for it to become universal—in all schools.
Over 50 years of change: From a 1952 suburban theatre to the 1988 vision for a new Etobicoke City Centre to the 2024 construction start on a new community and civic heart for thousands of current & future residents and businesses in “downtown” Etobicoke anchored by transit 👏👏
The @cityoftoronto’s new Etobicoke Civic Centre, which broke ground today, will be a dynamic civic hub and the foundation for the creation of a complete community on the City-owned lands at Bloor-Kipling. Here’s a look at a few renderings.
Eid Mubarak everyone, from my family to yours 🎉🎉🎉
