Knowing the risks doesn't always lead to action.   We partnered with Partnership for Healthy Cities to survey 1,900+ TO residents to understand how they react to extreme heat & wildfire smoke. See how we turned these findings into action. 🔗cities4health.org #Cities4Health

On National Day for Truth & Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, we commemorate the survivors of residential schools, the families & communities impacted, & all the children who never made it home. All flags, including the Survivor Flag, will be flown at half-mast at City Hall & all other City buildings. The Toronto sign will also be lit orange tonight. #NDTR

Mesh screens are designed to keep bugs out, not to keep children in. They can easily give way under a child's weight. Check your home safety checklist:1️⃣ Screens aren't guards2️⃣ Keep furniture away from windows3️⃣ Actively supervise children 🔗 twp.ai/9OZqFj
