The past two weeks have been busy with City Council, community events and preparation for the Easter Weekend excitement!
Last week we had our first in-person City Council meeting after nearly two years of virtual meetings. It was incredible to be back in a room with one another; Being in person, you can really feel the passion of our councillors – and members of the public – for making our City the best it can be!
We celebrated an historical day on Wednesday as Council approved Toronto’s first-ever Reconciliation Action Plan. The Plan will guide the City’s actions from 2022 to 2032 to advance truth, justice and reconciliation, and builds on the City’s existing commitments to Indigenous Peoples. Read more about the plan here.
As we continue to support those here in our community, we also reflect on how we can help others around the world. The Mayor of Kyiv, Vitaliy Klitschko and Deputy Mayor Mykola Povoroznyk joined us virtually at Council to share the shocking reality taking place in Ukraine following the unlawful Russian invasion. In response to the crisis, City Council unanimously approved a motion to align City spending with the Federal sanctions of certain Russian businesses & individuals. Click here to learn more about the motion.
Council also approved both Toronto’s first city-owned pop-up rehearsal and performance space in partnership with grassroots community organization called It’s OK, and Toronto’s first Music Strategy since 2016. In addition, council extended the Amplified Live Music on Patios program for the 2022. It is an exciting time for music in the city to say the least!
Looking ahead to this weekend, we are excited to welcome back the Annual Beaches Easter Parade run by the Toronto Beaches Lions Club. The Parade began in 1967 and today, over 50,000 people from around the world come to enjoy the festivities. According to Andre Buhot, Beaches Lions Club Secretary and Past President, the Easter Parade is the largest and longest running Easter Parade in the world. I will be walking in the parade on Sunday and I hope to see you there!
As the warmer weather moves back into the city, we are taking advantage of the fresh air by getting some spring cleaning done! Clean Toronto Together is happening again this year from April 22 – 24 so get some friends together and help make our city sparkle. My team and I are also hosting an Environment Day on Sunday April 24, providing residents with an opportunity to drop off household hazardous waste, gently used furniture for donation and recyclable items like textiles and electronics. We will also be handing out bags of municipal compost so stop by, say hello and get some free compost for your garden!
Although we’ve experienced a wet couple of weeks, its always nice to remember that these spring showers will bring us May flowers. Before we know it, summer will be in full swing with the return of CafeTO, amplified live music across the city, and CampTO summer programs around the corner. Take some time to reacquaint yourself with our tremendous main streets after a long winter of indoor activities. Take a walk at Woodbine Beach, rent city bikes to explore the city or stop in at a local cafe for a cup of coffee.
Toronto is back! Let’s enjoy it together.

Updates & Announcements from City Hall
Amplified Live Music on Patios program extended for 2022 🆕
After building & launching the program here in Beaches-East York last summer, Council voted to extend the Amplified Live Music on Patios program this year. As things shape up for an amazing Summer 2022, we’re continuing the work to support our local artists and businesses.
Council approves Toronto Music Strategy 🆕
The Toronto Music Advisory Committee has been leading the way on the development of Toronto’s new Music Strategy – the first comprehensive refresh our city has seen since 2016. This week was a big step forward for music in Toronto – with City Council approving the new strategy. We’re moving ahead on the framework that will drive investment and recovery of the music sector for years to come.
D.I.Y. music and performance venue approved by Council 🆕
On Thursday April 7, City Council approved the proposal for the plan to turn a city-owned building on Queen West into a new, multi-purpose rehearsal and venue space, operated by community arts organization and not-for-profit called It’s OK*.
This project will convert an existing two-story, city-owned building in Toronto into a one-of-a-kind DIY and rehearsal space for new and emerging artists – with a particular emphasis on opportunities for on Black, Indigenous, and racialized artists who have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. The site is a former retail store, which was acquired by the City of Toronto along with the parking lot to the north, as part of a larger project to build new affordable housing, cultural space, and parkland in the area.
Plans for Summer Season in the Beach 🆕
The sun is out and the weather is warmer, which means more people will be heading out to the Beach to soak it all in. Over the last while, we’ve been at the doors letting folks know how we’re making our City gem enjoyable for all. Read below or visit my website for more information on how we are getting ready for summer at the beach!
City of Toronto ramps up pothole repairs with week-long blitz ahead of the Easter long weekend 🆕
City of Toronto crews have been working extended hours this week to repair as many potholes as possible on expressways, major roads and neighbourhood streets ahead of the Easter long weekend.
Around 40 crews (approximately 100 staff) are working 12-hour shifts, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day this week, instead of the regular eight-hour daily shifts that are spent on pothole repair work. The additional four hours each day represent a total of 16 extra hours that will be spent on pothole repair work this week, compared to 12 hours of work during a typical Saturday pothole repair blitz.
Residents driving or cycling this week are advised to expect minor delays around pothole crews. The public is asked to be safe by respecting work zones and giving crews space while they make repairs.
Crews have repaired more than 60,000 potholes since January 1. Pothole repair crews are made up of the same City staff who handle road maintenance, snow clearing, street sweeping and other roadway safety work.
Potholes can normally be repaired within four days of crews being made aware through proactive patrols and 311 service requests from residents. When there are large numbers of potholes to be repaired, they are triaged based on size and repairs are prioritized on major roads first.
The City has a comprehensive pothole repair program and has budgeted approximately $4.4 million in 2022 to fix potholes on roads and bikeways. Each pothole costs approximately $25 to repair.
City pothole reporting is still open!
As the city continues to work on repairing our streets following snow and ice damage, you might be noticing additional potholes and other types of damage to our roads. We kindly as you passing through the neighbourhood to report these potholes for the attention of 311. You can submit a service request:
- by filling out an online form
- by calling 311 and providing them with the exact location of the pothole
- by tweeting 311, with exact location of the pothole by emailing [email protected]
- by emailing [email protected]

Live Jazz Lecture Series
Beach United is excited to offer the first “in person” lecture with Dr. Mike Daley since the pandemic. Many of you will remember the Leonard Cohen lecture series in January 2020 followed by the magical music concert with Jill and Mike performing some of Leonard Cohen’s beloved songs. Then the world changed and we all learned how to connect virtually.
There is nothing like the feeling of being together in a learning community and, for Mike, seeing the masked faces of people interested in the origins and evolution of Jazz Music. This is a favourite subject of his which he has taught for over 20 years.
This lecture series will be followed with a jazz concert with Jill and Mike on Sunday afternoon, April 24, featuring the music highlights from this jazz period. Covid protocols are in place for everyone’s safety. To register, click here.
We are also offering the lecture series online. We will record the live lecture and it will be available on Wednesday following the lecture. Click here to purchase the series online.

Beach United Church: Confronting Polarization 🆕
Beach United presents a discussion with audience Q and A on “Confronting Polarization: Holding Differences Creatively”. This discussion will be lead by two seasoned facilitators, Michael Saver and Mardi Tindal.
As we approach the June provincial election, the toxic legacy of the U.S. insurrection, the misinformation disseminated by the so-called ‘Freedom Convoy’, and continued anxiety about the COVID – 19 pandemic, have all had an impact on citizens of Ontario. Parliamentary democracy depends on robust discussion of differing ideas, values and perspectives on societal issues in ways that affirm connections, respect differences, and de-escalate patterns of harm.
We will explore how to create and hold a safe and brave space for such discussion, a space characterized by courage, trust, integrity and respect. Practices that enhance our ability to listen deeply, to respond more than react, and to hold the tension of differences will be offered. In addition to input from the presenters, there will be a generous time for moderated questions and discussion.
This event is being hosted by Beach United Church in advance of the Multi-Faith Candidates Meeting to be held on May 12 at 7:00 p.m. at the Church of the Resurrection at 1100 Woodbine Avenue. People can attend or on Zoom on Thursday May 12 at 7 pm. Ten different faith groups in Beaches East York have come together to host a candidates meeting ahead of the June 2nd Provincial election to give citizens a chance to hear the ideas of the various candidates on important social justice issues. For details and registration information visit the Beach United Church website.

Basement Flooding Prevention Campaign 🆕
Basements can flood for many reasons. While the City of Toronto is working to improve its complex system of underground pipes, sewers and catch basins, these improvements alone cannot completely protect a home from basement flooding. During heavy rain, the sewers can become overloaded and it’s important for homeowners to take steps to help protect their homes from basement flooding.
For basement flooding prevention tips, City subsidies and related programs and services from the City of Toronto, please visit toronto.ca/basementflooding.
Plant a Tree with LEAF 🆕
Planting a new tree can provide shade, enhance local biodiversity, improve air quality and even alleviate stress! Take advantage of the Backyard Tree Planting Program from non-profit LEAF (Local Enhancement and Appreciation of Forests). LEAF offers over 50 native tree and shrub species for residential, multi-unit and commercial properties. Choose from Full-Service or Do-It-Yourself options and receive a consultation with a certified arborist to find the right tree for your space, as well as tree care instructions.

Neighbourhood Watch Program
Free training in hospitality sector
COVID-19 closures that kept us safe throughout the pandemic have disproportionately affected those working in the hospitality sector. One of the many issues businesses in hospitality are facing as we begin to reopen is a shortage of workers.
In addition, the pandemic has made gaining experience in the sector equally as difficult given the reduced staffing needs during lockdowns. The Hospitality Workers Training Centre is combatting this by offering free hospitality sector training programs. Check out their available training programs here!

The TTC wants your feedback! 🆕
Every year the TTC participates in an international transit survey, conducted by transit systems across North America, to gain valuable insight from customers on our service. Please share the following information with your networks – feedback is important and will help us provide better service. The surveys take 3-5 minutes and are on our subway and streetcar service. Surveys will be available until May 1, 2022.
Parking notice for student drop-offs 🆕
Our office has received complaints from residents, parents, and administrators in various school areas regarding school drop off and pick up times. We’ve been notified about excessive idling, parking in restricted areas, parking on the wrong side of the road, and vehicles leaving the road way (mounting the sidewalk).
We ask that guardians refrain from any of the above, and we encourage walking/cycling to school when possible. If children must be driven, please consider dropping your children off away from the streets which directly border the school in an effort to minimize congestion.
Not Down The Drain! 🆕
Not Down the Drain: Putting the wrong things in your pipes like grease, wipes & dental floss, can cause basement flooding, pollute our streams, rivers & the Lake, as well as clog City pipes. Find out more at toronto.ca/notdownthedrain.
Sustainable Takeout Containers Survey 🆕
The Beach BIA wants to hear from you!
Are you a Beacher? Do you order takeout? Answer this 2-minute survey for a chance to win a $100 gift card to any Beach restaurant of your choice.
The BIA is working on understanding perceptions of Beach residents around restaurants and bars using Sustainable Takeout Containers as opposed to single-use plastic. As part of this, we have launched the Sustainable Takeout Containers Survey. Applicable restaurants include any food service available for dine-in or take-out along Queen Street East from Coxwell Avenue to Neville Park Boulevard.
Click here to complete the survey!
Bikeshare e-station installed at 85 Lee Ave.
As the warmer weather approaches, the ways we get around the city will change. Many of us will opt to walking, bussing, or biking. Our City of Toronto Bikeshare program is a great resource to use when looking to bike at a low cost. Now, the initiative is becoming even more accessible for #BEY residents with the City’s installation of a new e-station right at 85 Lee Ave.
I highly encourage you to soak up the sun by travelling to your destinations, or even just exploring the city, on a bikeshare bike!
Community Coyote Safety
The City has has developed a Coyote Response Strategy to ensure both animals and people remain safe in our neighbourhoods. The strategy helps provide public education to our communities, including the City’s E-Learning Module which has a lot of tips on co-existing with coyotes. For more information, read through the educational pamphlet below.
Protect the Foxes at Woodbine
Woodbine has become home to some furry friends! In 2021, the City discovered a fox den under the Woodbine boardwalk. March is typically when Fox kits are born, and although it can be hard to predict where they will have their young, it is possible they will once again have their kits at Woodbine beach. For the safety of the foxes, the City along with Parks, Forestry and Recreation and Toronto Animal Services have filled gaps underneath the boardwalk in order to deter the foxes from denning there once again, and they will continue to monitor the situation closely. Toronto Animal Services, at the advice of Toronto Wildlife Centre, is taking a proactive approach this year to mitigate potential issues. They are encouraging residents to help protect our wildlife and keep our community safe by following a few simple instructions:
- Never touch wildlife or pick up young wildlife
- Always keep your dogs on leash, unless in a designated dogs off-leash area
- Never feed wildlife as providing food has detrimental impacts to both the animals and the community
- Call 311 if you see someone feeding wildlife or an injured or abandoned animal.
We can all do our part to coexist with nature and ensure that our public spaces remain safe for everyone in our communities, including our furry wildlife neighbors, too!
