Enjoy Easter While Physically Distancing!
By Brad Bradford, Toronto City Councillor, Ward 19 – Beaches-East York
Easter is an important time of the year. People come together, go on Easter egg hunts, and enjoy spending time with their families. COVID-19 and the new practice of physical distancing have made it more difficult to enjoy these traditions.
My office has set up a virtual egg hunt and we’re supporting the Beaches Lions with their virtual parade.

Join ACORN members and allies from across Ontario to demand real solutions to the housing crisis. Rents are rising out of control – we need rent control on ALL buildings and protections on the rent between tenancies, so landlords can’t evict tenants then jack up the rent.
ACORN members from Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, and Peel will be coming together to demand action.
Date: Thursday, March 12, 2020 – 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
