in Toronto and wrapping them in the blue and yellow Ukrainian flag would be a highly visible demonstration of support and solidarity.

Staff recommended

Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor Anthony Perruzza, recommends that: 1. City Council request the Toronto Transit Commission to urgently assess wrapping as many Toronto Transit Commission streetcars as possible with the Ukrainian Flag to demonstrate solidarity with the people of Ukraine as they fight against the brutal and illegal Russian invasion. 2. City Council request the Toronto Transit Commission to explore corporate sponsorships to cover part of the costs associated with wrapping streetcars.
