Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

[picard102]

We held an event at Dufferin Grove in October and it seemed manageable at the time.
Even had a neighborhood group come out and ask us for our support in letting the encampment stay in the park.

Infrastructure nerds will be happy to see that the City has updated TOInView to show 2026 projects. https://map.toronto.ca/toinview/ Though there are very few 2026 (only) projects added yet!

In early November I used the City's new online portal to register that our home is not vacant. Very simple to do and they email a 'receipt".

Yesterday, we received a (personalised) letter (Canada Post) from the City telling us to register.

So much for having improved and simplified the registration process and another waste of money!

Sadly, in checking with staff..........looking at many of the December '24 updates that had various projects happening in 2025.........

I'm told TOInview's accuracy.......remains a problem.

It has certainly never been very 'forward thinking' for utility projects but in the past they have been pretty good at listing major City and TTC projects - though often not getting the year just added fully 'populated' for several months.

It's possible this was due to the postal strike, and notification was mailed out (or sitting in an outbox, waiting to get mailed out) just before the postal workers struck on November 15th.

I'd take anything that comes in the mail over the next few weeks as being from an unknown date. I still haven't received my Driver's License, which was also renewed in early November.

Well, I registered online on November 4th, the strike started on November 15 and their letter is dated November 22. It should surely have been possible to exclude those already registered right up to the date of the letter AND the letter should (but does not) say "If you have already registered your property for 2024 please ignore this letter". I too am all in favour of giving people the benefit of the doubt but I do not have much doubt that we are dealing with incompetence here.
