My Staff and I are here to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have about your neighbourhood and/or your home. We’re working every day to make our community safer while improving Midtown’s parks, main streets, and the many valued services we rely on including recreation, childcare, and waste collection. I hope to see you out in our community soon!
Josh at City Hall
On your behalf, I am advocating for a more thoughtful, creative, and responsible approach to policy issues at City Hall. I take very seriously the responsibility to make informed decisions that are based on evidence, community consultation, and the merits of arguments – rather than partisanship. I will continue representing our community at Council meetings on transit, tenant concerns, childcare, green space, and other issues that matter most to Midtown residents. Or, you can reach us by phone at 416 392-7906.

Toronto Star: GO Transit in the dark on details of dangerous goods shipments
September 26, 2014
GO Transit doesn’t know the details of dangerous goods being moved on tracks alongside its passenger trains, the Star has learned.
Nor was the transit agency certain of its role or capabilities during a potential disaster when the Star inquired earlier this year about rail safety and what is being hauled on its rail corridors.
In emails that circulated among GO officials in March about how to respond to the Star’s questions — emails disclosed by Metrolinx this week — one official suggested saying the transit agency is “aware in a broad sense” of the goods moved on its lines.
GO Transit president Greg Percy weighed in, writing, “if we say ‘aware in a broad sense’ we are saying we don’t know — which is actually true since we don’t receive a train manifest.
