TORONTO - Olivia Chow is set to officially take office as mayor of Toronto today, becoming the first person of colour to lead Canada’s most populous city.
The ceremony is set to be emceed by actor Jean Yoon and will feature Indigenous teachings, a musical performance and a reading by the poet laureate. She campaigned on a platform to build what she called a more caring and affordable city, pledging to get local government back into the business of building social housing and to spend millions to acquire and preserve affordable units.
A city staff report indicates there’s enough COVID-19 reserve funds set aside to prop up this year’s budget, but without more money the backstop would be insufficient to cover next year’s projected shortfall of up to $927 million.
