On the agenda

As the city filed it

As the Night Economy Champion, I am working with Economic Development and Culture to ensure the City of Toronto fulfills its mandate to modernize and clarify the rules to provide flexibility and support for businesses, while ensuring an appropriate level of regulatory oversight to mitigate any potential community nuisance and public safety issues. As we move the directive forward, it is important that the City of Toronto join other cities worldwide in signing the Nighttime Manifesto, symbolizing a global commitment to raising the awareness around the importance of nightlife https://www.nighttime.org/manifesto/?s=01 .

"represents a united commitment to creating a safer, more sustainable and resilient nightlife." The Manifesto outlines objectives to "Involve different partners and stakeholders to bridge gaps, raise awareness, and build stronger representation for nighttime communities." I look forward to your support.
