Josh in the Community
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.

UrbanToronto: Heritage Toronto Celebrates Imperial Oil Building

The former Imperial Oil Building at 111 St. Clair Avenue West has stood as an important landmark in Toronto's Deer Park community since it opened in 1957. Following the office building's closing in 2005, developer Camrost-Felcorp embarked on the ambitious endeavour of converting the Mad Men-era structure into a condominium development, renamed as Imperial Plaza.

Since celebrating last year's official openings of an LCBO location and a Longo's 'Urban Market' on the ground floor of the development, the two retail spaces have worked together to foster a lively environment on this stretch of St. Clair Avenue West. The two retail spaces are resplendent with paired original murals by the late York Wilson called 'The Story of Oil', preserved from the original office lobby, as well as a number of gorgeous historical flourishes throughout, their preservation overseen by heritage specialists ERA Architects.
