As a parent, I thought I knew about the impact of social media on my children. I was wrong. Read my thoughts on what we can do to protect our kids online here: jessicabellmpp.ca/social_media_i… Thanks to Dr Alison Yeung and @CFifeKW for your advocacy and leadership on this issue.
We love our local businesses – like Harbord Bakery. It’s been in the neighbourhood since 1945, and has been run by four generations of the same family. When we support our local businesses with our time, our money, and our love, it means they’re here to stay and keep our…

We’re in for a long, hot summer 🔥 – and many renters are facing dangerously hot apartments. They need the right to stay cool and comfortable at a safe temperature in their home.
Let’s connect and cool off with some free ice cream! Come enjoy a summer evening with us at Jean Sibelius Square (50 Kendal Ave) on Tuesday, July 29 from 6:30–8:00 PM. It’ll be a great opportunity to come together as neighbours, enjoy the park, and talk about what's on your mind.…
Schools like Heydon Park provide love, care, and high quality education to our most vulnerable kids. Continued Conservative cuts, closing the school and an ex-Metrolinx appointee taking over the TDSB isn’t how we support our kids.
