The second edition of the City of Toronto’s official city-wide newsletter, Our Toronto, will be issued shortly. This edition of Our Toronto informs residents and businesses about how the City can assist them through the economic recession. The publication will begin distribution shortly and residents can expect their copies to begin arriving in their mailbox next week.
There are many other articles in the second edition, including information about the recently passed 2009 Budget, Building Permits, TTC “next vehicle” initiative, Toronto’s 175th Anniversary, Recycling and Green Bin programs, apartment inspections, water meters, lead water pipe replacement programs, access to free dental care, community investment grants, Streets to Homes programs, fire and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms and more. This issue of Our Toronto also contains a number of features about new and enhanced economic and environmental investments the City is making.
This edition also includes a special four page pull-out in the centre spread that provides the essential information home-owners and renters should know to prepare for an emergency including information about emergency kits and the importance of homeowner and renter insurance. The articles provide critical planning tips which can help Torontonians prepare for severe weather, power outages, fire or other urgent situations. The City wishes to acknowledge the support of Insurance Bureau of Canada and Toronto Hydro in making the special pull-out section possible.
Information about how to enter the City’s 175th anniversary song and photography contests is also provided in this edition.
