Your TTC just passed big changes, fam.
Okay but real talk— your Toronto Transit Commission just had a really active meeting on June 3rd, and some serious stuff got moved forward. I'm looking at the recent Council Votes, and it's clear they're pushing some new initiatives.
First up, they voted to ratify the Collective Agreement with CUPE, Local 2. This passed 7-3, with TTC Chair Jamaal Myers and Councillor Dianne Saxe both voting Yes. This is huge for workers, making sure things stay stable on the lines, you know? Nobody wants a disruption when you're trying to get from Scarborough Town Centre to downtown.
Beyond that, the TTC also passed a motion for "Indigenous Wayfinding on the TTC." This is a big step, dude, making our system more inclusive and reflective of the land we're on. Dianne Saxe voted Yes on that too, and it carried 5-3. Plus, they commemorated former TTC Chair Howard Moscoe, which passed 9-0. It's good to see them honouring the people who built this city's transit, even as we look to the future.
* **CUPE, Local 2 Agreement**: Ratified 7-3 on June 3rd. * **Indigenous Wayfinding**: Approved 5-3 on June 3rd. * **Howard Moscoe Commemoration**: Passed 9-0 on June 3rd.
This all means your TTC is not just about getting you from A to B; they’re trying to build a system that reflects our diverse city and respects its history. Keep an eye out for how these changes start showing up on your daily commute.
Real talk, this is Toronto — stay up.
