COVID-19 Information
Dear Neighbours,
We are now one year into this pandemic. It’s been an incredibly difficult year for everyone and for many it has been tragic. The vaccine roll-out is happening and the one millionth Ontarian recently received their vaccination. We are still several months away, but we are approaching the end of this.

Toronto Public Health has just rolled out a new tool where people can pre-register for their vaccine appointment. After registering you will receive a follow up call to book your vaccine when the time comes.
Right now Toronto Public Health is only accepting pre-registrations for people 80 years and older, high-priority healthcare workers, and Indigenous adults. A person can pre-register themselves or have a family member or friend help them.
You can access the tool here: https://vaccineto.ca/landing
Or you an call them at 1-888-385-1910
I hope that this news lifts your spirits and that we can all get vaccinated soon. MPP Morrison is continuing to push the government for greater clarity on when other groups can expect to be prioritized.

I support MPP Andrea Horwath's proposals for $2000 in emergency income for everyone who has lost work or hours due to this pandemic, and for tenants who have lost income to receive an 80% rent-subsidy up to $2,500.
