Today, I was pleased to welcome Minister of Seniors and Accessibility @RaymondChoPC to Oakville to tour the North Oakville Older Adult Program at the Sixteen Mile Creek Sports Complex. Ontario’s continued investment of $55,000 through the Seniors Active Living Centre (SALC) program helps ensure seniors in our community have access to programs that keep them active, engaged, and connected. As social isolation remains one of the greatest challenges facing older adults and can contribute to declining physical and mental well-being, these programs play an important role in fostering friendships, promoting healthy aging, and helping seniors remain connected to community life. We also enjoyed watching Minister Cho play a friendly game of table tennis and wished him a Happy 90th Birthday. Congratulations and thank you to the @townofoakville and everyone who helps make these valuable programs at Sixteen Mile's Older Adults Centre possible. @MayorRobBurton #Oakville #OakvilleNorthBurlington #Seniors

As part of the largest expansion of Senior Centres ever, I’m pleased to announce that Oakville got a new SALC this year! Thank you MPP Triantafilopoulos for your warmth towards seniors and advocacy. Nothing like seeing smiles on senior’s faces when we open new paths together!

When Ontario businesses grow, families benefit. With $160 million in WSIB premium savings next year and our government reducing small business taxes by $1.1 billion, we’re helping employers invest in their people, protect jobs and strengthen Ontario. 🔗: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

Ontario and the federal government are working together to protect workers. In the face of U.S. tariffs, today’s $8.7B action plan will protect steel and auto industries, unlock Ontario’s critical minerals in the Ring of Fire and create jobs. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

The First-Ever Medical School in Scarborough is now OPEN! This is a historic moment years in the making that will change Scarborough for generations. Under the leadership of Premier @fordnation and Minister @SylviaJonesMPP, our government continues to make record investments in healthcare to bring quality care to everyone across the province.  For years, Scarborough has punched above its weight. But too many families here have struggled to find a family doctor close to home, or had to leave their own neighbourhood to get the care they need. The Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health (SAMIH), housed in the new five-storey Myron and Berna Garron Health Sciences Complex at the University of Toronto Scarborough, is now training doctors, nurse practitioners, and health-care professionals right here in our community, to better serve our community. When students train in a community, they build their lives there. They stay. They practise. They raise their families. The doctors and nurses training at SAMIH today are the doctors and nurses who will care for Scarborough families for decades to come. This didn't happen overnight. It's the result of years of advocacy from this community, a landmark partnership with the University of Toronto, the generosity of donors, and our government's largest expansion of medical education in 15 years. To every student walking through those doors, you are making history. And to every Scarborough family, this school is for you. This is what investing in Scarborough looks like. 💪

Our government is giving Ontarians more choice and convenience for hearing support. We're making over-the-counter hearing aids available for the first time, giving people with mild to moderate hearing loss easier access to more options today. Learn more: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1…

Our government will always stand up for Ontario’s small businesses. By cutting the small business tax by $1.1 billion, we’re delivering up to $5,000 in savings to local businesses that power Scarborough North’s economy. This week and every week, remember to #ShopLocal!

So much fun at the 15th Canadian Korean Times Table Tennis tournament!🏓 Table tennis is a great way for #seniors to keep their minds and body active, while building strong communities and social circles. Also glad I could join in for some good shots. 🇰🇷🇨🇦

My thoughts are with everybody who has been affected by the terrible incident that took place at CFB Wainwright in Alberta last night, including members of our armed forces and the heroic first responders on the scene. As Canadians, let’s come together to support our brave men and women in uniform, who put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms and our country. Ontario stands ready to help the recovery efforts however we can.
