These residents are from across Toronto, not just the Old City of Toronto… from Scarborough, Etobicoke and North York and today Dept. Mayor Ausma Malik and I want to… thank them for their hard work and their love of our waterfront,” Chow said to reporters at city hall on Thursday. Malik added that the free rides will make it possible for more people to see “what we’re fighting for.” The program will cost an estimated $940,000 with both Chow and Malik stressing that it will not be funded by taxpayer dollars. “Little Norway park, the Island lands, and everywhere else identified in the legislation belong to the residents of Toronto,” it adds.
