On Sunday, the #YorkU subway station will open its doors to the public, improving access & connectedness for our community. This would not be possible without the commitment of many individuals over decades, including outgoing #TTC CEO Andy Byford. #TBT @BradTTC

I am very pleased that Budget 2021 is investing in students, from grants to work placements to bilingual education. We commend the federal government on their commitment to supporting growth in talent and skill development as we build back better and recover from COVID-19.
