多倫多市議會

 多倫多市議會於今天召開了首次的線上會議。

 在會議期間，我提出了以下動議：市議會要求市政府在COVID-19疫情過後的六個月向市議會報告在此經歷過後所汲取的經驗和教訓，以及市政府如何為未來潛在的疫情做好準備。

這項動議獲得議會一致通過。

士嘉堡愛靜閣是2003年加拿大非典疫情的重災區。經此一役，我們吸取了教訓，並制定了一系列應對另一場公共衛生危機的計劃。很遺憾的是我們在過去的17年里忘記了2003年的教訓。我在此向我所有的選民保證，我正與其他議員合作，我們會以最佳的政策處理COVID-19疫情。

 我亦在今天的會議中向一眾正努力確保我們所有人安全的前線員工致謝。

 我很高興能於昨天向長期護理院捨、教堂和食品銀行提供了數千個捐贈口罩（PPE）。詳情請瀏覽: 点击这里

COVID-19 Updates - April 30 2020

 Families Coping with COVID-19 – Teleconference with Educators

I will be hosting a teleconference to help Ward 22’s schoolchildren and parents cope with staying at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. I will be joined by our trustees, educators and psychologists who will offer advice on home learning and maintaining mental and physical well-being. The teleconference will be held on May 1st, 2020 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM. If you would like to join this teleconference, please click here.

Toronto City Council

Today, Toronto City Council convened for the first time via teleconference.

During the meeting, I moved the following Motion:    That City Council request the City Manager to report to City Council six months after the COVID-19 pandemic with lessons learned and what the City can do to get ready for a future pandemic.

This motion passed unanimously.

Scarborough-Agincourt was the Canadian epicenter of SARS in 2003. As a result, lessons were learned and plans were devised to deal with another public health crisis. Unfortunately, over the last 17 years, we have forgotten the lessons that have been learnt. I want to assure all my constituents that I am working with other Members of Council to ensure that the best practices are implemented as we deal with COVID-19.

At Council today, I also expressed my thanks to the men and women who are working on the frontlines to keep us all safe.

I had the pleasure yesterday to deliver thousands of donated masks (PPE) to long term care and senior home facilities, Churches and Food Banks. Read more…
