Your kids are getting more snacks at CampTO. Thanks, Councillor Thompson!

Your kids are getting more snacks at CampTO

Okay but real talk—first thing, fam, Toronto Fire Services just dispatched an "Alarm Single Source" incident at 9:13:44 AM today, May 29, 2026. They haven't dropped the location yet, so stay sharp, everyone. Could be anything, but always good to know what's crackin' in real time. We’ll keep an eye on that for you.

Now, let's talk about something else that actually affects your little ones this summer. The General Government Committee made some moves on May 11, 2026, that are pretty sweet if you've got kids going to CampTO. They voted to amend Blanket Contract 47025662 with Avron Foods Limited. What's that mean for you? More snack food supply for the "Expanded Universal CampTO Child Nutrition Program." Councillor Michael Thompson voted 'Yes,' and it carried 4-1. So, your kids are getting fed, dude. Even though Stephen Holyday voted 'No,' the kids won this one. It’s a small win, but hey, a fed kid is a happy kid, especially when they're running around all day.

* **Expanded Snacks:** More food coming from Avron Foods Limited for CampTO. * **Committee Vote:** Carried 4-1 at the General Government Committee on May 11, 2026. * **Impact:** Directly benefits kids attending the Universal CampTO program.

This is exactly the kind of thing that makes a difference for families, especially with how expensive everything is these days. Next up, we’ll be watching to see how quickly these new snack supplies roll out and if it truly makes a difference in those camps across the city, from Scarborough to Etobicoke.

Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.

You know Kevin and the crew break this down every morning, right? Catch it live at mornings.live.
