👉Tenants in a Toronto apartment complex are opposing a proposed above-guideline rent increase, claiming it partially funds a redevelopment-related environmental assessment. Amy Nyp, a long-time tenant, argues it’s unfair for renters to cover costs unrelated to their living needs. The landlord, QMW Corporation, applied for the increase, stating the funds are intended for property upgrades benefiting tenants. However, tenants and the York South-Weston Tenants Union contend the expenses don’t qualify under Ontario’s Residential Tenancy Act. The union's co-chair, Chiara Padovoni, criticized the move as a violation of tenant rights. Ontario's rent guideline for 2024 is set at 2.5%.✅ .

👉Toronto police are investigating a fire outside Leo Baeck Day School, stating there is "no evidence" it was hate-motivated. The fire, starting in an exterior storage shed used by an under-housed individual, caused a broken window and triggered a sprinkler but resulted in no injuries. Separately, a school bus fire in North York is being treated as arson, also with no hate crime evidence. The bus, parked for over 15 years and set for scrapping, belonged to Jewish schools in the area. Both incidents are under investigation, with the Hate Crime Unit consulted.✅ .

👉The recent rainstorm in the Greater Toronto Area caused severe flooding at North York Harvest Food Bank (NYHFB), damaging $20,000 worth of food and disrupting operations. The flooding stalled delivery trucks, leaked through the roof, and led to a power outage, spoiling perishable items like milk, eggs, cheese, chicken, and beef. Executive Director Ryan Noble reported that NYHFB, which serves 25,000 people monthly, is asking for public donations to recover the lost food and repair damages. Despite continuing deliveries, the food bank is under immense pressure, highlighting the urgent need for more robust policy support to aid those in need.✅ .

👉Toronto's Infrastructure and Environment Committee will discuss a proposal next week to increase fines for over 120 parking violations across the city, aiming to catch up with other communities with higher rates. City staff recommend the hikes, citing outdated fines that haven't been updated for years. The move follows an uptick in parking violations post-pandemic. If approved, the increased fines would take effect from August 1, impacting various violations, with many fines doubling to $75. Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie sees this as a strategy to deter illegal parking, noting success in raising fines on city property last year.✅ .
