詹嘉禮市議員 ： COVID-19每日更新 – 2020年5月4日

我們的食品銀行需要您的幫助

雖然疫情已逐步改善，但仍有很多人生活在水深火熱之中，而他們大多是沒有足夠糧食的小童。

如果你有能力的話，我墾請你向我們區內的食品銀行提供捐助。

食品銀行正需要不易腐爛的食物和個人衛生用品。

感謝您的慷慨，请点击浏览食品银行列表。

我有幸在今天向本區的多倫多警察局第42分隊提供5000個口罩。更多圖片請瀏覽：点击这里

有關以多倫多水務部名義發出的詐騙信

有居民收到聲稱由「多倫多水務部」寄出的信件。信里內容指出市政府將在2020年秋季將對收件人的物業作鉛管更換工程，而水電費將大幅增(如$38,000的一半)。此類信件皆屬欺詐，收到的話請向多倫多警察局非緊急熱線416-808-2222報告。如您有關於多倫多水務的問題，您可以致電416 392 1374與我聯絡。

Our Food Banks Need Your Help!

While things are very slowly returning to normal, there are those among us who are still suffering – they do not have enough to eat, many of them are children.

If you have the ability, I ask you to please donate to the food banks in Scarborough Agincourt. The food banks are looking for non-perishable foods and personal hygiene products.

I want to thank you, in advance, for your generosity. Click here for a list of food banks

 
Today I had the pleasure of delivering 5000 donated face masks to our local Toronto Police Services Board 42 Division See Pictures..

Toronto Water warns of fraudulent City of Toronto letter to residents

A letter from the City’s “Department of Water” is being delivered to residents telling them the City will be conducting lead pipe replacement to their property in Fall 2020 that will result in a significant charge to the utility bill; e.g. half of $38,000. This is fraud and we are asking anyone who receives this letter to report it to the Toronto Police Service non-emergency line at 416-808-2222. Anyone with questions about Toronto Water operations can contact me at 416 392 1374
