Our community BBQ is one of the highlights of summer
I hope you and your families are doing well and have been enjoying the summer. It has been great hearing your concerns and feedback, and I am excited about much of the work our government is doing to serve you!
2024 Community BBQ
There is no question that one of the highlights of my summer was our annual Community BBQ at Canmore Park. I am grateful to each and every one of you who dropped by, as well as my amazing volunteers who made it all possible. It means a lot when we come together as a community!
Automatic License Renewals
Our government has introduced automatic license plate renewals, 90 days before expiry for vehicle owners that have valid insurance and no outstanding fines or tolls. After our government eliminated the sticker fees in 2022, saving you $120 per year for each car, we heard your concerns about how easy it would be to forget to renew. That is why we are taking the burden off of you and saving you time!
Accelerating Construction on Gardiner Expressway
Our government is helping to accelerate construction on the Gardiner Expressway by at least one year by providing up to $73 million to the City of Toronto on the condition that work may be allowed to proceed on a 24/7 basis.
I know how many residents in Scarborough–Rouge Park rely on the Gardiner Expressway each day, which is why we are doing our part to get you out of gridlock and where you need to go faster.
Investing to Fight Auto Theft
Our government is doubling down on our fight against car thieves and organized crime by investing $134 million in five new police helicopters to expand the Joint Air Support Unit. These helicopters will be equipped with the latest technology and will help keep highways and roadways safe from violent carjackings, auto theft, street racing, and impaired driving.
We are continuing to pursue a wide range of initiatives to prevent auto theft and impaired driving.
Free Leaf Bags
As we enter the fall season, I am providing free leaf bags for the residents of Scarborough– Rouge Park.
You can pick one up at my constituency office, as we are open Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to our office at 8130 Sheppard Ave. East Unit 105, by email at vijay.thanigasalam@pc.ola.org, or give us a call at 416-283-8448.
