Earlier this week, I was humbled to be honoured by Mayor Chow and Members of Council for my service as Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health over the last eight years. I am filled with a mix of emotions as my role comes to an end later this month. It has truly been a privilege of a lifetime to serve the people of Toronto and work with some of the most talented and dedicated public service professionals along the way.

At Executive Committee today, we endorsed my plan to make the City’s school food program universal. Right now, we help feed 220,000 students - but that leaves 100,000 across 220 schools, without access to the program. See: toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024… 1/3
