It’s extremely important that we do all we can to continue supporting our local small businesses after the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and Crosstown delays on Eglinton.

Shop local on Dufferin
Whether it’s experiencing the taste of Italy at Amico Bakery, or delicious fresh seafood at City Fish Market, only on Dufferin can you find a diverse range of meals from around the world. With many businesses such as DaRosa’s and Terra Nova, drive over to Dufferin to support local businesses in our home of Eglinton Lawrence.
March 3 is "Shop Eglinton Day"
On March 3, 2020, I held a press conference with Councillor Josh Matlow on March 3, 2020, at Jerusalem Restaurant, to announce this date as "Shop Eglinton Day".
Facing the difficulty of LRT construction on Eglinton and the challenges of the pandemic, it is crucial to support local businesses in the community with our Ward.
