One man has been taken to hospital after being shot in the city’s Downsview neighbourhood Wednesday night. It happened at a highrise building on Chalkfarm Drive at around 7 p.m. According to police, the victim was throwing garbage down a chute when he was confronted and shot.

The owner of a highrise apartment building near Jane and Finch has pleaded guilty to several fire code offences and has been fined $71,000 after a woman died in a blaze at the building in April 2015.

Toronto Fire crews battled two large fires Saturday morning — one at a North York highrise and the other at two Christie Pits homes.

A boy fell from the eighth floor while at a party and is currently in hospital on July 2, shortly before 7pm.

The past 24h have not been particularly auspicious for our neighbourhood, our very own 32 Division investigating a fall off a 6th floor and a shooting in a park.

As we begin the new year, we send you our best wishes, together with some fresh news from Toronto’s press.

The pressure to increase property taxes seems to be increasing in Toronto. That outcome is strongly resented by most members of our community.
