We owe a big thank you to Ontario’s truck drivers. Whether delivering food, medicine or othr essential supplies, the Trucking Ind. plays a vital role. Proud to support our truck drivers by distributing 500 masks to keep them safe, while they’re working hard to serve all Ontarians
Today is the last day to fill up before PM Trudeau’s Carbon Tax comes to Ontario & making life more expensive for everyone. This means higher prices for heating your house, food & driving your kids to school. This
#CarbonTax
will cost the average family $648/year by 2022.

This is a highly deplorable act which is beyond comprehension. I'm hoping the perpetrator is brought to justice sooner rather than later. Thank you Mayor
@patrickbrownont
for taking action on this.
We have gotten reports from residents that someone took sacred Sikh Scriptures from Gurudwara Dasmesh Darbar and desecrated them. We have asked

OECTA’s one-day strike will affect our most vulnerable and youngest students. Union leaders promised escalation would not impact students and yet, it has. This is unacceptable.
