my record on the issues

I have led the creation of the new daycare centre that has been built in Mount Dennis. It will be the biggest under the City’s portfolio, with 98 spaces, and will be a net-zero building.

Affordable housing advocate Mark Richardson says Nunziata is helping bring transit-oriented development into York South—Weston.

“Compared  to her peers in other suburban wards, she is one of the more effective  in actually getting shovels in the ground on new affordable housing  projects,” he says.

MY OPPONENT WILL HAPPILY SUPPORT INCREASING YOUR PROPERTY TAXES AS A FIRST MEASURE    

The City has two different budgets

The operational budget covers day-to-day spendingon commonly used programs such as parks and maintenance, garbage collection, public transit, the Toronto Police Services, and,

The capital budget supports the construction and repair of infrastructure, such as underground infrastructure, sch as water and sewage facilities, and libraries, community centres, subways, LRTs, etc.

· I believe there is much spending waste due to inefficiencies and duplication that need to be rectified before considering property tax hikes 

· As a last resort, I would support tax increases that are below the rate of inflation.

1. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested on New underground infrastructure (sewage and storm systems) throughout our Ward.

2. Worked closely with the TRCA and the City of Toronto on the Rocliffe-Smyth  Riverine Flooding Mitigation study to reduce the risk of flooding in the community, the preferred alternative has been chosen by the community through public consultation. I would like to thank those of you who have been part of the process. I have secured 29 million in funding from the Federal Government, and am working with the other two levels of government to secure the required $371 million in funding to implement the multi-phase project.

3. Supported the full funding of TransformTO, the City of Toronto’s Climate Action Plan

4. Fought at City Council to approve a recurring no-fault grant program for basement flooding damages for $7,500 per property, available to eligible properties within the Rockcliffe Special Policy Area.

5. Buildings – I support the new TGS (Toronto Green Standards) that have been in effect since May 2022 -meaning new buildings and houses must comply with environmentally friendly materials.

6. I supported a strategy to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Toronto to net zero by 2040. Toronto Council has set targets along the way for a 45% reduction in GHG levels by 2025, and a 65% reduction by 2030. Toronto is one of only three big cities in North America with a 2040 target
