has always been a hardworking riding, built by people who show up, roll up their sleeves, and get the job done. That spirit is exactly what Canada needs right now.

Our federal government is investing $6 billion in — a nationwide effort to recruit, train, and hire up to 100,000 new Red Seal trades workers over the next five years. That means more good, union jobs right here at home.

Apprentices will get a $400 weekly top-up while training, plus a $5,000 bonus when they complete their certification. And small businesses will get up to $10,000 to help hire first-year apprentices.

Great to finally get a chance to meet the new Portuguese Ambassador to Canada, Bernardo Lucena!

We had a meet & greet and a discussion around the upcoming Portugal Day and Portugal Month celebrations. I made sure to mention to him that the whole community is waiting for him in Toronto for the Portugal Day Parade on June 13!

The city, province, and federal government have worked together for 30 years to build a healthy Toronto waterfront. Any changes to Billy Bishop Airport must be agreed upon unanimously and only after meaningful consultations with community groups, stakeholders, and Indigenous communities.

I shared my thoughts with the Globe and Mail this weekend. Read the full story here: https://juliedzerowicz.ca/feature-globe-and-mail-billy-bishop-toronto-city-airport/
