Your kids' snacks just got a big boost at City Hall

Your morning alarms are going off, fam.

Okay but real talk—first up, we got some active emergency incidents right now, live from the dispatch. Toronto Fire Services responded to two separate "Alarm Single Source" incidents this morning. The first was dispatched at 7:29:32 AM and the second at 7:53:21 AM. We don't have location details yet, but keep your eyes and ears open. If you're out there on your morning commute, especially if you’re using the TTC, just be aware of potential delays around those areas once locations drop. Stay safe out there, fam.

### What City Hall's Been Up To

Now, let's switch gears to what's happening behind those big glass doors at City Hall. The General Government Committee made some moves on May 11, 2026, and one that caught my eye was the amendment to Blanket Contract 47025662 with Avron Foods Limited. This is for the supply of snack foods for the "Expanded Universal CampTO Child Nutrition" program. Councillor Michael Thompson voted 'Yes' on this, while Councillor Stephen Holyday voted 'No.' The motion still carried, 4-1.

What this means for us:

* **Kids' Snacks:** More accessible snacks for children in the CampTO program, which is huge for families trying to make ends meet and keep their kids fed during summer programs. * **Contract Details:** The amendment builds on an existing contract, so it's not a brand new deal, but an expansion of services already in place. * **Committee Support:** Despite Holyday's dissent, the committee largely backed the move, showing a general consensus on supporting these nutrition initiatives.

This shows where City Hall's priorities are—investing in our youth, even if it's "just" snacks. It's about keeping our kids nourished, especially in programs like CampTO that are so vital for the community. We'll be watching to see how this expanded program rolls out this summer and how it impacts families across Toronto, especially those in Scarborough who rely on these kinds of supports.

Real talk, this is Toronto—stay up.
