We’re continuing to build new homes in Toronto’s core. Today we announced the beginning of construction at 35 Bellevue Ave. This property, previously a City-owned parking lot, will include approximately 78 rent-geared-to-income homes. The City has selected Kensington Market Community Land Trust in partnership with St Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society as 35 Bellevue Ave.’s operators. These future homes will contribute to the creation of non-market homes, increasing affordable rental housing stock in Toronto. While providing safe, affordable, and independent living spaces, these projects also offer people homes with supports to maintain their health, wellbeing, and housing stability.

Today, Mayor Olivia Chow and Toronto City Council celebrated the incredible teamwork of City staff, agencies and partners who ensured Taylor Swift’s six sold-out Toronto shows ran as smoothly and ‘swiftly’ as possible for residents and visitors. This monumental effort in partnership with Rogers Centre showcased collaboration, flexibility and a shared commitment to creating a positive experience during Toronto’s Version of the Eras Tour. Beyond operational excellence, the tour left an incredible legacy: 🎵 $282M in estimated economic impact 🎵 $216,000 donated to Daily Bread Food Bank from the Taylor Swift Way street sign auctions, with thanks to our partners at Rogers Communications for their generosity. Congratulations, everyone. You truly showed that Toronto’s Era was one of the best.
