Your City Hall just voted to feed kids at camp, fam!
Okay but real talk— City Hall was busy on May 11th, and some important stuff went down at the General Government Committee meeting. What really grabbed my attention, though? They voted to expand the Universal CampTO Child Nutrition Program.
Councillor Michael Thompson voted "Yes" on the amendment to Blanket Contract 47025662 with Avron Foods Limited, ensuring snack foods for CampTO. The motion carried 4-1, dude! Stephen Holyday was the lone "No" vote on that one. It's huge, right? We're talking about making sure kids in CampTO, especially after the craziness of the last few years, get fed properly. This is about real support for families across Toronto, not just downtown.
Also, they approved a non-competitive contract with Toronto Metropolitan University to tackle the digital divide, again with Councillor Thompson voting "Yes." These partnerships are crucial, especially for communities in Scarborough where access to reliable internet and tech education can still be a struggle.
* **CampTO Nutrition:** Amendment to Blanket Contract 47025662 for snack foods.
* **Digital Divide:** Non-competitive contract with Toronto Metropolitan University.
* **Voting Record:** Both passed 4-1 at the General Government Committee on May 11, 2026.
This means more kids get fed and more folks get connected. It’s a step in the right direction, and we need to keep an eye on how these programs are rolled out across all our neighbourhoods.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
