Last night, I joined the Regent Park community to celebrate the unveiling of the Community Benefits Package! This $26.8 million investment plan, co-created by @TOHousing, @Tridel, and CBOWG, supported by @YSM_TO & @tcbn_to, and voted in by the community, will invest in educational scholarships, uplifting the generations to come in Regent Park. Congratulations to all the community members and organizations involved for your tireless advocacy!

Shout out to our sponsor, Double Take Thrift Store for their incredible donation of 700 soccer balls to THPFC!
Double Take is more than just a thrift store- it’s a non-profit organization powered by YSM, with all proceeds going toward life-changing community programs.

Today we release our #WhosHungry2024 report in partnership with @dailybreadto, an annual profile of food insecurity & poverty in Toronto.
We are a city at its breaking point due to chronic policy failure, & we need everyone's help to raise the alarm.

Our mission of a community that can meet their food needs will never be complete without addressing the anti-Black racism that perpetuates systemic barriers against Black communities - particularly those in North York where we serve.

It's time to address #poverty & #foodinsecurity in Canada. Canadians are facing an affordability crisis, and people living with disabilities are twice as likely to be living in poverty. This has to change. It's time for a fully funded #Canada Disability Benefit. (1/2) – at Mississauga, Ontario
