Mid-Toronto is a non-profit organization that helps seniors and people with disabilities to find healthy and independent living.

You can learn more about their programs at http://www.midtoronto.com/The election is over
And everybody’s either cheering or weeping. One Toronto is a group that formed during the campaign to give a positive image of our city and to counter some of the negative campaigns that were flourishing. Their voice often wasn’t heard but their message was indeed worthwhile. So as the new Council takes shape (and we wish them well), here’s a dose of positive thinking to get everyone started. http://www.youtube.com/user/OneToronto#p/a/u/1/T-DxAcFLwU8
