She’s a thing of beauty 😍 Lady of the Quays showed off during her recent sea trials on the Danube River🩰 She has now made her way from Romania to Turkey where she will be loaded on a ship, and in the coming weeks, will begin the journey to Toronto. Once in Toronto, she’ll start commissioning and testing before going into service in late spring 2027. Follow along at toronto.ca/ElectricFerries

Maintain the secrecy of the vote. Voters cannot take photos or videos of their ballot or show their marked ballot to any person revealing how they voted. This is in the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. #TOVotes26 #TorontoVotes2026

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving Toronto. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.

🧵 I want to show you something Toronto has quietly built on Ookwemin Minising, because I think it says something about how we think of public space. This is the Waterfront Neighbourhood Space. And the entire premise is remarkably simple: Public space should have people in it.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

I was given my name by the Iroquois Nation many hundreds of years ago. By 1660 my name was printed on maps by the Europeans as they accepted the Native name which means Beautiful waters. In 1867 the Canadian government decided to use my name for their providence.
