Your kids are getting more snacks, but a councillor said no.

Your alarm's going off in a building right now

Okay but real talk— I just checked the live intelligence monitors, fam, and Toronto Fire Services is running to *three* separate alarm calls this morning, all active. The first one got dispatched at 8:45:55 AM, then another at 9:34:55 AM, and the most recent one just after, at 9:39:56 AM. The locations are pending right now, so if you're out and about, keep an ear out for sirens. Hope everyone's safe out there, dude.

### What’s Happening at City Hall

Meanwhile, down at City Hall, the General Government Committee made some moves on May 11th, according to recent council votes. They passed an amendment to Blanket Contract 47025662 with Avron Foods Limited for snack foods for the Universal CampTO Child Nutrition program. That passed 4-1, with Councillor Michael Thompson voting yes, and Councillor Stephen Holyday voting no. They also approved a non-competitive contract with RideShark Corporation for the Smart Commute Online Tool, again a 4-1 vote. It means more snacks for the kids and hopefully smoother commutes for us all, but some councillors clearly had reservations. What happens next with these contracts? We'll be watching to see how they roll out.
