5 h. ago Toronto event helps those who have lost their mother face Mother's Day

The founder of Motherless Day, she's created a pity party for those navigating Mother's Day through the veil of loss."I lost my mom to mental health in 2017, back when I was 21," explains Katz.

Ambitious plans surfaced in April for a proposal to redevelop a tract of City of Toronto-owned lands at a major transit hub with a multi-tower residential community that would look like nothing else in town.The sprawling site at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East, a commuter parking lot just north of Kennedy GO and TTC station and adjacent auto body shop, is set to be redeveloped with three new residential towers.But unlike the monotonous blue-grey glass Toronto residents are used to, these towers would feature wildly colourful designs from Vancouver-based Henriquez Partners Architects.The City's real estate asset management agency, CreateTO, has long planned to leverage this and other sites adjacent to transit, launching the Housing Now initiative in 2019 to activate underutilized City lands and work with private developers to get affordable housing built.CreateTO announced in January 2024 that Civic Developments, Windmill Developments, and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto...
