I understand that the photos of people in Trinity Bellwoods were disappointing today. It was a beautiful day & we all want to enjoy our city together, but this could be selfish & dangerous behaviour that could set us back. (1/3)

1/2: Our case counts in TO remain relatively low & is cause for cautious optimism thanks to all of your efforts to protect each other. Today I shared an update on my team's work to prepare for #COVID19 vaccinations for children 5-11 yrs once approved for use by Health Canada.

Together & individually, we must do everything we can to disrupt #COVID19 transmission now. By prioritizing #Vaccines for high risk areas, we can help bring virus spread under control in the places & populations where it is highest & most threatening: bit.ly/3uWCoiC

A year ago we reported the 1st #COVID19 case in TO. I'm proud & grateful that you stepped up & for your resilience despite many challenges since. Hope is on the horizon but there's a way to go still, so pls continue to stay home & take care of each other: bit.ly/3iMssDA

Thank you @checkupcbc for sharing these stories of compassion and acts of kindness in our city at a very challenging time
Mr Rogers once said "When I was a boy & I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say, 'Look for the helpers. You’ll always find people who are helping.'" Today @checkupcbc, we celebrate ppl helping us get thru this, in big or small ways. Who is your #COVID19 hero?

#COVID19 is spreading at serious levels. We are now seeing the consequence of too many ppl spending too much time together in Dec. & esp. during holidays. The more we stay apart from ppl we don't live with, the better we can control #COVID19 & save lives: bit.ly/3bty2ZP

We can’t ignore #COVID19. Life has changed & we must choose to live differently for now & follow steps for self-protection: watch distance, wear a mask, wash hands, don’t gather in large groups & protect each other. Read my remarks from today's briefing: bit.ly/2ZWejvq
