Today, we honoured Robert and Maurice Biancolin of Carousel Bakery with the Key to the City. For nearly 50 years, their peameal bacon sandwich has been at the heart of St. Lawrence Market. Their work helped to save the Market from demolition in the early '80s. Thank you.

This July, City Council took some big swings to ensure everyone in Toronto can live with a roof over their head. Addressing the housing crisis will require action on multiple fronts.

My statement on the Ontario Court's decision with respect to bike lanes in Toronto: Bike lanes keep thousands of people safe. Everyone should be safe as they travel to work, school and around our city. Since 2023, 78 cyclists have been killed or seriously injured in collisions
