Beskrivelse

Toronto’s city council is racing to make history as it fast-tracks a landmark deal for the WNBA’s new team, the Tempo — a 40-year, $1/year lease on a parking lot near Exhibition Place to build a practice facility. Mayor Olivia Chow is fully behind the move, urging the team to “hurry up and build it,” calling it a generational win for girls and boys growing up in a world where women’s pro sports are normal. The team plans to turn the land into public parkland with recreational programs. But not everyone’s cheering — some councillors question whether the city is subsidizing the team, while an industry exec wonders if taxpayers are getting a fair deal, given the land’s potential value. There’s also a hidden cost: the site is on reclaimed industrial land, which may require expensive environmental cleanup — a burden the Tempo must shoulder. Still, the executive committee has strongly endorsed the plan, and the final vote is set for later this month — with momentum clearly on the Tempo’s side.

Toronto Targets Hate Crimes Against Jewish Bakery | Toronto News

Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow has condemned two recent hate-motivated attacks on Kiva’s, a Jewish-owned bakery chain, with one involving gunfire—no injuries reported. Police are treating the incidents as connected, deploying the hate crime unit and Guns and Gangs Task Force, while urging witnesses to come forward. Community leaders stress that hate has no place in Toronto, especially as statistics show Jewish communities bear the brunt of religion-based hate crimes. Organizations are calling for a stronger national response to what they call an escalating antisemitic campaign, while residents are urged to stay resilient and remain visible in public life.

Ketchup Heist and Other Local Crimes | Toronto News

Police are hunting a brazen ketchup distraction scam duo who robbed a bank victim right after they withdrew cash—while one sprayed ketchup, the other “helped” clean it up before stealing the money. Descriptions: male, heavy build, glasses, black jacket, short beard; female, dark ponytail, slim, light coat, dark backpack. Investigators urge witnesses to come forward. Elsewhere: a Scarborough home intruder (6ft, thin, 20-30, black clothes) fled after homeowner confronted him; a non-life-threatening stabbing in Toronto’s west end; and two teens charged in Kitchener for weapons and threats at a public pool—no injuries, but charges filed.

Summer Travel Tips for Pets | Toronto News

As summer heat surges, don’t forget your pets when hitting the road—secure meds, update ID tags, and keep them safely restrained in vehicles. Protect paws from scorching pavement, limit outdoor time to cooler hours, and always provide shade and water. Overheating is deadly, so act fast if you spot signs. And if you’re near water, a life jacket is non-negotiable. Never leave pets in a parked car—even for a minute—because temperatures can spike to lethal levels in minutes.
