Thrilled to take a look at one of @HabitatGTA’s builds in Oshawa. Can’t wait for Habitat families to move in! Proud of all the work our volunteers and development team are doing to bring this project to life!
The mailperson just dropped off my two copies of 305 Lost Buildings of Canada by @alexbozikovic and Raymond Biesinger. One for my collection and an extra copy will be an Xmas gift for an real estate enthusiast!

Great to see fundraising for @HabitatGTA today at the Bloor Dufferin site! Local artists Moe Pramanick and Radha Pithadia were on site painting an art piece and picnic table that will be donated to the new community hub and future local park at Bloor Dufferin!
Investors account for about a fifth of new mortgages in Canada or 20% of properties purchased in recent years! What is this government doing to address this. We need strong policy NOW preventing investors from buying single family homes and condo units. @CMHC_ca @TOAdamVaughan

@GraphicMatt @TorontoStar At Planning & Housing Committee today, Councillor @BradMBradford asked our #AffordableHousing volunteers about the “appropriate use of Minister’s Zoning Orders (#MZO) to accelerate the development of new housing-units” in #TOPoli... this was our response...

Absolutely disgusting to see @RoyalOttawaGC use the Canadian emergency wage subsidy and end up with a million dollar surplus vs $43,883 recorded in 2019. Another example of some take advantage of this pandemic and government aid. apple.news/AaRPyaHkVSQ2eH…

Does @uofg administration think it can protect the actions of a predator and not expect criticism from faculty? This would have been a good opportunity to show the leadership has learned & changed. it’s probably time to look up the concepts of trust and reconciliation. #tonedeaf
Incredibly sickening to read about the abusive and predatory behaviour that young athletes were subjected to. When will Institutions be held to account for their (passive or active) role in creating an environment where this happens or is tolerated. @uofg @AthleticsCanada
