Toronto2 people, including a pedestrian, rushed to the hospital following south Etobicoke collisionBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: April 14, 2025 at 6:14PM EDT
Two people, one of whom is a pedestrian, were rushed to hospital late Monday afternoon following a two-vehicle collision in south Etobicoke, say paramedics.
The crash happened in the Mimico neighbourhood, near Kipling and Horner avenues.
Toronto police Service (TPS) said they were called to that area at about 5:20 p.m. for reports of a personal injury collision.
In a follow-up news release, police say that a 21-year-old man operating a black Jeep Cherokee westbound on Horner struck a white Nissan Murano, driven by a 48-year-old man, that had been travelling eastbound on Horner and made a left turn onto Kipling.
Investigators said the collision happened in the intersection.
A 42-year-old male pedestrian was standing on the northwest corner of the intersection at Jeep, who left the roadway, TPS said.
They said that the pedestrian was rushed to a trauma centre via emergncy run in life-threatening condition.
The driver of the Nissan was also taken to a local hospital with minor injuries, police said.
Paramedics told CTV News Toronto that they transported one man to a trauma centre with serious, life-threatening injuries and another man to a local hospital with minor injuries.
The operator of the Jeep remained at the scene.
Investigators said charges will be determined at a later time.
Toronto police are asking local residents, businesses, and drivers, who may have security or dashcam footage of the area or incident, to contact them at 416-808-1900 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

They hired another agent who cut the asking price and improved its presentation

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is pleased to announce that the Etobicoke Creek Watershed Plan (ECWP) 2024-2034 was approved by TRCA’s Board of Directors on November 22
and implementation of the watershed plan will now begin
Prior to approval by TRCA’s Board of Directors
the ECWP was adopted/endorsed by partner municipalities within the watershed
The development of the ECWP was a collaborative effort between these partner municipalities
and the Greater Toronto Airports Authority
Additional First Nations and Indigenous communities
and members of the public were engaged throughout the process
The new watershed plan outlines current and potential future watershed conditions and identifies the priority actions needed to protect
and restore the health of the Etobicoke Creek watershed and improve community well-being over the long term
The actions in the plan will also help to build resiliency to land use and climate changes and inform decision making in the watershed
The ECWP will be in effect for 10 years from 2024-2034
and collaborative approach to implementing
and reporting on all aspects of the watershed plan will be essential to fully realize the vision for the watershed
An Implementation Steering Committee consisting of the same partners noted above will be established in 2025 to guide and support implementation
We will work together to achieve the shared commitments outlined in the plan and to demonstrate accountability towards improving watershed health and building safer communities
regular updates will be provided on this project webpage

PLEASE NOTE: The Provincial Planning Statement
2024 (PPS 2024) came into effect on October 20
The PPS 2024 is a province-wide land use planning policy framework that replaces the Provincial Policy Statement
2020 and A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe
provincial policy encourages municipalities
and requires large and fast-growing municipalities (including the City of Toronto
to undertake watershed planning to inform certain municipal decisions
such as those related to planning for servicing
or restoration of the quality and quantity of water
Municipalities undertaking watershed planning are encouraged to collaborate with conservation authorities
The PPS 2024 was released at the end of the endorsement/approval process for the ECWP and does not necessitate changes to the ECWP or the ECWP management framework
The development of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed Plan (ECWP) was a collaborative effort between Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA)
Engagement with First Nations and Indigenous communities
and members of the public occurred throughout the watershed planning process to increase awareness of watershed planning and obtain input on the components of the watershed plan

The Etobicoke Creek watershed is at the western end of TRCA’s jurisdiction and is heavily urbanized
Etobicoke Creek watershed is protected and restored to a cleaner
TRCA engaged local stakeholders and residents on what they would like to see in a watershed vision
Variations of a vision based on these results were presented to the Steering Committee
consisting of the municipalities within the watershed
This vision for Etobicoke Creek watershed reflects survey feedback and was agreed to by Steering Committee members
Healthy watersheds provide numerous ecosystems services
protecting the quality and quantity of water
Watershed planning provides a systematic and comprehensive framework for ensuring healthy watersheds, and integrates natural systems into land use and infrastructure decision-making as well as climate adaptation planning. It helps identify natural features and areas to protect and develop mitigation measures to minimize the impacts of various land use types and climate change
Watershed planning is typically carried out to characterize current and potential future watershed conditions (i.e.
and restore the health of the watershed and build resiliency to land use and climate changes
Watershed planning does not make land use and infrastructure planning decisions
it is intended to help municipalities make informed decisions on where and how to grow in a way that minimizes and/or mitigates impacts to watershed health
The last watershed plan for Etobicoke Creek was completed in 2002
Our FAQ document provides additional information about the watershed planning process for the Etobicoke Creek watershed

The management framework is designed to address existing watershed issues and mitigate impacts from potential future land uses and climate change
and evaluation program was also developed to help track implementation progress
evaluate and report on whether watershed conditions are improving
and ensure mechanisms are in place to adjust and adapt approaches as needed
The ECWP was approved by TRCA’s Board of Directors on November 22
2024 and was adopted/endorsed by all of our municipal partners
and reporting on all aspects of the watershed plan will be essential to fully realize the vision for the watershed and to improve watershed health and ensure sustainability of its ecosystem services for current and future generations
An Implementation Steering Committee consisting of TRCA
and our municipal partners will be established in 2025 to guide and support implementation
The Implementation Steering Committee will work together to achieve the shared commitments outlined in the plan and to demonstrate accountability towards improving watershed health and building safer communities
Through the implementation of the Etobicoke Creek Watershed Plan
all watershed partners and stakeholders can contribute to a healthier
and more resilient watershed that can provide long-term benefits to all residents
The ECWP 2024-2034 was approved by TRCA’s Board of Directors on November 22
the ECWP was adopted/endorsed by all of our municipal partners

TorontoPeople may have been exposed to the measles at Etobicoke shopping centre, says Toronto Public HealthBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: April 05
People who visited Woodbine Mall’s Fantasy Fair on March 30 may have been exposed to the measles
someone who was infected with the highly contagious virus visited the shopping centre’s amusement park at 500 Rexdale Blvd
Measles spreads through the air when an infected person breathes
It can remain in the air or on surfaces for up to two hours
Infection can occur when someone breathes contaminated air or touches an infected surface
Anyone who believes they may have been exposed to the virus at Fantasy Fair is being advised to check their vaccination records to ensure they are protected from measles and monitor for symptoms until Sunday
TPH has confirmed two cases of measles linked to travel outside Canada
and most notably a red rash that begins on the face and spreads down the body and small blue-white spots (Koplik spots) that can appear on the inside of the mouth and throat
People are advised to stay alert for symptoms
even if you have been vaccinated against the virus
and contact a healthcare provider immediately if symptoms develop
Anyone with possible symptoms should call ahead before visiting a clinic or hospital
to allow them to prepare and prevent the spread of the virus
Potentially infected persons should also wear a well-fitting mask when getting a medical assessment
The good news is that measles is preventable
A vaccine is typically given at 12 months of age
with a second dose administered between four to six years of age
Anyone who has not received two doses of the measles vaccine or has not had measles is at risk of infection
Eligible adults can obtain the measles vaccine is free at primary care sites and some walk-in clinics
Anyone born in 1970 or later requires two doses for the best protection
People born before 1970 may have had a measles infection when the virus was common in Canada and almost all people who are unsure about their vaccination status can safely receive the Measles
Immunity can be easily determined with a blood test
More information about the measles can be found online.

The owner of a bungalow on Valiant Road wanted to turn it into a four-unit multiplex
After the committee of adjustment denied his application he’s thinking of building a triplex
A 3-D renderings of the fourplex proposed for 28 Valiant Rd
The proposal to be exempt from a number of bylaws in order to construct the fourplex was rejected on Thursday
Another 3-D renderings of a fourplex proposed for 28 Valiant Rd
While the owner wanted an exemption to build larger than what's allowed
much of the hearing focused on added density and whether a multiplex fit the character of the neighbourhood
While the owner wanted an exemption to build larger than what’s allowed
A proposal to build a fourplex with several bylaw exemptions was rejected by the city on Thursday night following a wave of objections from neighbours in the affluent Kingsway South neighbourhood
More than 40 households near the Etobicoke site submitted letters of objection
and 10 residents spoke at the committee of adjustment hearing for the proposal
proposed a three-storey structure with a basement containing four separate units and a garage
according to documentation submitted to the city
Fourplexes have been legal across Toronto since 2023 as part of an effort to bring more “gentle density” to neighbourhoods dominated by single-family homes
the homeowner was seeking to occupy more space on the lot
the committee reminded attendees that fourplexes are legal
and asked that attendees focus their objections on the requested variances
And while many residents spoke out about the exemptions in question — with some calling the proposed variances “egregious” and “not minor” — the committee also heard plenty of debate about the impact of the added density and how the fourplex proposal would affect the character of the neighbourhood
purchased the property in 2020 and is living in the bungalow there
The residential street is lined with trees and a mix of old and new single-family homes
permission to occupy more space on the lot (37 per cent versus 33 per cent)
have greater floor area (377 square metres versus 192 square metres) and be taller (11.43 metres versus 10) than currently allowed
The owner’s representative noted the property was approved for similar variances in 2021 when they proposed a two-storey structure in the back of the property and a second storey for the bungalow
and that the new requests are “almost exactly” the same
He added that several properties in the neighbourhood have been approved for similar variances
(The application lists several examples of similar variances granted in the neighbourhood; most are smaller changes but some are greater than what the fourplex proposal sought.)
In letters of objection submitted prior to the hearing
neighbours raised a slew of concerns — the fourplex would introduce more traffic and too much density
its location on the corner of a three-way intersection would pose a safety risk for pedestrians
and the structure would disrupt the character of the neighbourhood
A next-door neighbour also raised concerns about the small setback proposals
saying it would pose a risk to his home’s foundation and fire exits
which the representative for the property disputed
Residents repeated concerns about traffic and pedestrian safety
the representative rebutted that transportation services raised no concerns about the application
A handful of objections argued the proposal would not match the character of the neighbourhood
Despite the committee’s request not to object to the presence of a fourplex
some attendees and many letters highlighted concerns around added density
asking whether they took issue with the variances or the presence of a fourplex
The resident conceded “a single-family house would be more appropriate” at the corner lot
Another resident spoke openly about his opposition to fourplexes
saying the long-standing neighbourhood was designed around a vision of a garden with architectural unity
“This neighbourhood has zero multi-unit buildings … This plan doesn’t mix with anything
It impacts what we bought into in the Kingsway
“The hallmark of this neighbourhood is literally nothing ever changes
It stays the same,” the resident said
arguing that’s why so many neighbours submitted letters of objection
Most residents who appeared at the hearing said they were not opposed to intensification
but found the location to be ill-suited for the proposed density
Some letters of objection stood firmly against the presence of a fourplex
begin a cascade of more houses destroying the neighbourhood into a slum yard of undesirable inhabitants who will bring crime and filth and drug activity and illegal aliens into a long established quiet safe neighbourhood,” one letter read
Owner Tony Tarantella told the Star that he wanted the fourplex to be a multi-generational home like the one he grew up in
and said he wants to stay in the neighbourhood while his young son attends school
Tarantella said he would bring in his mother
who is living alone after his father died two years ago
“I was gonna put my mom on the main floor
I’m gonna rent out two units,” he told the Star
Tarantella added that the units would have nine-foot-tall ceilings and the third floor would have a balcony — features he hoped would keep tenants happy and in the home for several years
“I have a nine-year-old son,” he added
“How’s he gonna afford anything in Toronto in 10 years from now
So I figured this would secure a future for him as well.”
the owner’s representative David Igelman said he believes most people objecting do take issue with the property being a fourplex
adding that the property was approved for similar variances in 2021
But one committee member said the proposal was requesting a “worse” situation than had already been approved
Committee members went on to highlight concerns around the ceiling height and the setback proposal
saying the application “does not meet the forecast.”
One member added that as fourplexes are newer to the city
the committee should heed as much caution as they did when they first started to approve variances to garden suites and laneway suites
four members voted against the application
Tarantella said he’s going to explore his options with designers in the coming days
“I’ve been told I’m allowed to build based on what I was granted,” he said
Tarantella said he would consider building a triplex instead
