I am shocked and sadden to learn of the sudden passing of Councillor Cynthia Lai. I will always remember our collaborations on and off the Council floor. My prayers are with Councillor Lai's family, staff and the entire ward 23 community. #yorkcentre #downsview #ward6

October 5th was #TONonProfitDay. Did you know there are over 14,000 @TOnonprofits employing over 200,000 people in Toronto? Besides providing work and volunteer opportunities, non-profits deliver sought-after services, and the demand is rising. #ward6 #downsiew #yorkcentre

We kicked off the week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the expanded mural "Daily Migration", by Shalak Attack, on Tippett street. The theme of this mural is 'Earth'. A great addition to an already splendid mural. #ward6 #yorkcentre #downsview

York Centre just got a little more green! It’s important to do our part in adding to the city’s beautiful canopy. Which is why I was happy to giveaway trees today with help from the local community. #yorkcentre #downsview #ward6

Congratulations on your retirement. Thank you for all of your work @PC_Hoppee.
Good morning, I am officially retiring. Today is my last day as a Toronto Police officer. I will miss everyone, but I'm looking forward to new challenges! I wish everyone all the best! Take care of one another...but especially yourselves. @PC_Hoppee out!

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. I wore my orange shirt in memory of the Indigenous children who survived residential schools, those who never returned, and their families and communities affected by the residential school system. 1/2

I attended the city's virtual panel discussion on the municipal's government's role in reconciliation. It was highly informative, a reminder that we must move toward truth and reconciliation in our policy decisions and actions every day. 2/2 #NDTR

Today I signed Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's condolence book at the North York Civic Centre. A sombre moment, trying to find the words to put on paper. Thank you for your service to the commonwealth. My thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family. #ward6

Heart broken as I watch fellow officers pay tribute tonight to Constable Andrew Hong who was killed in Mississauga today in an unprovoked attack. My thoughts are with his family and colleagues. #yorkcentre #downsview #ward6
It is with profound sadness that I share the loss of Toronto Police Service Constable Andrew Hong in a tragic incident today. His family will always have the full support of the Toronto Police Service. My statement is below. #HeroesInLife
