it’s a global one primary care and community services don’t communicate as well as they should so patients fall through the cracks.  Our research showed that patients felt invisible while in the hospital and when going home and clinicians were stuck repeating themselves clinicians and our partners at Trillium Health and Careteam to build the Digital Bridge to address these gaps and help to improve coordination so patients are supported beyond discharge We’re tackling the revolving door problem by making sure patients caregivers and providers have the information they need to help smooth that transition back into their communities.  Q: What will the patient journey look like now with Digital Bridge her care team initiates the Digital Bridge app which includes her goals for her health and wellbeing Her anticipated discharge date is updated in real-time Instead of just receiving a stack of paper instructions Maria can also access all necessary resources digitally she has a list of connections and resources she can go to and her primary care provider has more information to help support her now that she’s back home.  Want to support more innovation like this at Sinai Health?

A grocery chain is opening its first-ever Brampton location later this week Loblaw announced that Wholesale Club will be opening its doors at 85 Steeles Avenue West “This new location is dedicated to fueling the success of the city’s diverse food scene from family-owned restaurants to innovative food businesses,” a news release from Loblaw sells items in large quantities much like Costco but without the membership fee Buying in bulk can help save money — particularly for businesses or families “Wholesale Club offers no-fee business memberships and exclusive savings,” the release said “From restaurant owners and caterers to convenience stores and institutional food service providers the Wholesale Club provides more than 7,000 food service products and professional-grade kitchen equipment.” The new store comes after a Wholesale Club in Mississauga shut its doors earlier this year leaving Peel Region without Wholesale Club location That store was ultimately replaced by another grocery chain under the Loblaw brand: No Frills. The new Brampton store marks a return of Wholesale Club to Peel Region the project is now poised to reach the North York Community Council on July 9 with a positive City staff report recommending

Cubs place Steele on IL with elbow tendinitis CHICAGO -- Cubs left-hander alerted manager Craig Counsell and pitching coach Tommy Hottovy that he was experiencing some elbow tightness during his outing against the Rangers on Monday night at Wrigley Field it was difficult to assess the exact nature of what the pitcher was feeling “He said he felt good going out there,” Counsell said before Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers “I think he himself was a little confused: ‘Is it the cold or is it my elbow?’” Prior to Wednesday afternoon’s game against the Rangers the Cubs made the decision to place Steele on the 15-day injured list when the issue persisted into his recovery work on Tuesday The team described the setback as left elbow tendinitis making it a similar injury to the one the lefty dealt with down the stretch a year ago Given Steele’s history with the injury -- the starter was sidelined from Aug. 28-Sept. 17 last season before being activated and finishing strong ahead of his offseason -- Counsell said the ballclub opted to take a cautious approach Chicago also benefits from having a handful of off-days on the schedule over the next few weeks Steele is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam on his left elbow on Thursday to gather more information “We’re going to take the conservative route here,” Counsell said “He had symptoms of an injury that he experienced last year rather than having him focus on his next start I think it’s just best that we back off that and make sure he recovers in a really good place “We’re hoping it’s the minimum [amount of days on the IL] and he can be ready to go in a couple weeks.” Counsell said the Cubs have a “tentative plan” for how they will approach the rotation noting that Sunday’s game against the Dodgers and Monday’s game against the Padres are where the decision on a fifth starter rests The team can see how the next handful of games go before making that call Lefty Matthew Boyd is slated to start on Friday Righty Jameson Taillon could follow on Sunday but it is possible the Cubs might elect to give him an extra day off That means the team would also be weighing whether lefty Shota Imanaga would take his next turn on Monday or Tuesday against the Padres Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball Imanaga allowed five runs in five innings against the Rangers on Wednesday “I think we’re in a position to just keep everybody kind of on good rest,” Counsell said “I don’t think we need to push anybody right now Right-hander Colin Rea is currently in the bullpen but he would be a top alternative to make a spot start for the North Siders If Chicago wanted to look to Triple-A Iowa the most logical choice on the 40-man roster would be lefty Jordan Wicks The Cubs have a scheduled off-day on Thursday before their six-game swing through L.A There are also upcoming off-days on April 21 Steele is eligible to come off the IL on April 23 Steele is hoping to be back in the mix as soon as possible I would say I’m leaning that way,” Steele said on Wednesday morning “I was coming in yesterday prepared to kind of go about the normal rotation be able to figure out exactly what it is and attack it.” Steele described his reaction to the situation as “just frustration,” especially given his annual goal of being available for around 30 starts Through his first four turns in the rotation this season striking out 21 and walking five in 22 2/3 innings for the National League Central-leading Cubs Monday’s game against Texas had a first-pitch temperature of 34 degrees, making it one of the coldest games in Wrigley Field’s history Both Counsell and Steele noted that he began to feel discomfort around the fifth inning but he remained in the game and pieced together seven scoreless frames in the 7-0 win the tightness did not escalate to a point he felt he needed to stop “I was wanting to continue to pitch,” Steele

was closed as police investigate There has been some movement in the receivership proceedings over two projects from Mizrahi Developments, including a luxury condo at 128 Hazelton Avenue in Yorkville and a multi-tower project set to come up at 180 Steeles Avenue West Receivership orders went into effect over both development sites on June 4 KSV Advisory — the appointed receiver — is petitioning the Ontario court to set out the terms of a proposed stalking horse purchase agreement between the receiver and Constantine Enterprises Inc. and issue a “sales process order” in respect of both projects Constantine is the Toronto-based private real estate fund that instigated these receivership proceedings against Mizrahi back in February citing “lost confidence in Mizrahi and the Mizrahi Group’s ability to fulfill their financial obligations,” and a “complete breakdown” in their relationship with Mizrahi entities READ: Mizrahi’s Yorkville Condo Project In Receivership As Partner Alleges $47M Debt Constantine’s interference did not help the Hazelton Avenue project much as it remains $50M over Mizrahi’s initial budget and the estimated completion date is allegedly more than five years behind schedule and has accused Constantine of attempting to block the sale of certain units within the building contributing to the “inability to pay down the secured debt.” This is an assertion that Constantine has vehemently denied KSV’s June 14 report for the Hazelton Avenue site said that they have brought on CBRE Limited to market the agreement of purchase and sale for the retail component of the project specifically (a retail agreement purchase of sale) through a stalking horse process the opportunity is expected to hit the market “no later than” June 24 As for the four residential units that remain unfinished (and unsold) in the building KSV has stated that they will engage Gillam Communities LP to complete the outstanding work READ: Mizrahi Project Near Yonge And Steeles Under Receivership Amid $29M Debt That document also noted that sale of the property was attempted but there were no “viable” offers as a result “There is significant risk that the value of the property will be materially diminished because of continued development delays and/or enforcement by CWB or Trez of their respective mortgages in connection with the 180 Steeles project,” Constantine said at the time For the Steeles Avenue project, KSV’s June 14 report specifies that with Constantine’s consent and pending the court's approval they “intend” to bring on CBRE Limited to market the property for sale — and namely “all of the interests and shares” of Mizrahi in the partnership with Constantine — through a stalking horse agreement A specific timing for the opportunity to be revealed to the market has not been explicitly stated Constantine has said throughout the court filings this year that the end-goal with respect to both the Yorkville and Steeles Avenue developments is to identify and secure a new partner that can help move these projects forward in the interest of all stakeholders Residents along Plunkett Road near Islington and Steeles Avenues say giant piles of garbage have been growing for months stinking up the street and attracting animals leaving bags shredded open with bits of household waste strewn about the street Mirtha Coronel lives in the Emery Village neighbourhood and she says the situation has been going on since last fall “This isn’t just empty recycle who points out they were told that residential garbage gets picked up as long as it’s tagged “Work was done to inform the local residents to tag their garbage But even that sat there for weeks and weeks and weeks So that didn’t hold true either,” she explained “I think part of what’s been contributing to this is that people see garbage and now start to interpret that pile of garbage as a dumping ground.” Coronel says she’s called 311 as well as reached out on the City’s social media accounts and talked to her local councillor the City has received over 80 complaints regarding waste and illegal dumping at the address all of which have been investigated and responded to.” The City declined to comment on if another investigation was underway Area councillor Anthony Peruzza says the issue is with a small number of residents and businesses along the stretch of roadway we have a few very dirty slobs,” he tells CityNews “There’s some people here who are unregistered They refuse to be part of the registered collection program Peruzza says multiple city departments are working on a change of strategy adding that the next step is to get “very very aggressive” when it comes to enforcement “We need to change people’s habits We need to make them understand that there’s a way to take out your garbage and get it collected.” Home » CAMAL taking over operation of Fort Steele the new operator of Fort Steele Heritage Town interactive and diverse

Steeles and Highway 404 in Markham just across the street from Toronto's northern city limit A joint venture between developers Minett Capital the partnership has hired architects Arcadis to devise a futuristic plan for replacing the current mall with 11 towers and a pair of mid-rises as tall as 59 storeys The project is proposed to be constructed in phases that would allow the site to maintain a retail presence through the redevelopment This includes a first phase dubbed the "retail" precinct at the site's western edge along Don Mills Road which would house six towers containing retail bases and over 1,350 residential units The next phase of the project will introduce vast park spaces at the interior of the site and is aptly known as the "Park Precinct." This area of the development is to include three more towers as tall as 50 storeys fronting a sprawling park though only around half of this space would be constructed during the second phase a third phase known as the "Residential Precinct" will add to the second phase's park space for a combined greenspace of over 10,000 square metres Four further towers in this phase rising as tall as 59 storeys would be the tallest in the community This proposal marks just the latest in a growing wave of mall redevelopments in the 416 and surrounding 905 regions The trend to delete mall space and replace massive surface parking lots with mixed-use development is being felt the hardest in Toronto where soaring land values and a dying retail scene are forcing the hands of property owners From graduating Dalhousie Law School (1958) until his retirement (2002) He was first appointed Judge of the District Court (1975) and Chief Judge of the District Court (1977); he was then appointed to the Trial Division of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador (1982) and the Court of Appeal (1989) He practiced law and meted out justice as he lived:  quietly Geoffrey contributed to his profession through involvement with such bodies as the Judicial Council of the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador and the National Council of the Administration of Justice in Canada He also presided over several public commissions on behalf of the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador Geoffrey also engaged in athletic and community endeavours He was inducted into the Newfoundland and Labrador Athletics Association Hall of Fame as a builder; founding president of the Newfoundland and Labrador Amateur Sports Federation; Honorary Life Member of the St John’s Regatta Committee; member of the Pippy Park Commission; Boy Scouts of Canada supporter and Chair of the Advisory Board to the Curator of Memorial University Art Gallery he was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II’s Golden Jubilee Medal by the Governor General of Canada (2002) watching contentedly from the sidelines at St Bon’s Arena as his daughter and her friends made their best efforts to play hockey Surpassing all these achievements was Geoffrey’s dedication to his family and friends the Steele family home was filled with Jane’s music students as well as the friends of Watson and Suzanne and friendly nature made everyone feel welcome Geoffrey and Jane would go to their cabin where Geoffrey enjoyed snowmobiling Left with loving memories of a life well lived are his wife and Bernadette Dunn who helped care for Geoffrey while he was home The family would also like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr Sandi Ennis and the caring and dedicated staff of 3 North/South at St The kindness and compassion shown to Geoffrey and his family will never be forgotten A private celebration of Geoffrey’s life will be held at a later date Memorial donations may be made to The Anglican Cathedral of St This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

He wants to be out there,” Hottovy said before the Cubs' 4-2 victory over the Dodgers on Sunday Night Baseball “He wanted me to know from him and talk through it a little bit and kind of talk through what options he had and what plans he had He wants to respect the work we’ve all put in together We’ve known each other for a long time now.” “You get invested,” said the pitching coach The 29-year-old Steele -- a fifth-round pick by the Cubs in the 2014 MLB Draft, making him the longest-tenured player in the organization -- will have the surgery performed by Dr. Keith Meister. Cubs manager Craig Counsell said the specific nature of the procedure will be determined at that time (it is not clear yet whether Tommy John surgery is required What the Cubs do know is that the elbow tendinitis that impacted Steele late last season and then flared in his start against the Rangers on Monday, was at risk of being a persistent problem. An MRI exam on Steele’s elbow on Thursday was concerning enough to warrant a second opinion leading Steele to his decision to undergo surgery Counsell said the timetable for Steele’s return will be more clear post-operation “It’s kind of the life of a Major League pitcher,” Counsell said on Sunday and knows that it’s kind of part of the career that he’s chosen He’ll take it a step at a time and do the best he can to come back even better.” Steele logged seven shutout innings against Texas in frigid conditions (34 degrees at first pitch) and indicated he felt some discomfort around the fifth He was not alarmed enough to stop pitching but that wound up being his final turn of ’25 Steele posted a 4.76 ERA with 21 strikeouts and five walks in 22 2/3 innings He broke out as an All-Star and Cy Young Award contender in ’23 the Cubs will lean on their front four of Shota Imanaga The Cubs have a 12-day period coming up (Thursday through April 28) with four team off-days but Counsell said the team needs to be careful to give that group appropriate rest got the start on Sunday against the Dodgers and will remain Chicago’s fifth starter for the time being Chicago signed the 34-year-old Rea to a one-year $5 million free-agent deal over the offseason to give them an experienced piece behind the main starting group “That’s why you get a guy like Colin Rea,” Hottovy said “I think Colin’s proven to be able to pitch some big innings in this league and having a veteran guy like him to kind of step in right away and fill some of that void is huge.” Righty Javier Assad (15-day injured list due to a left oblique setback during the spring) is on the horizon He has at least two upcoming Minor League rehab starts with Triple-A Iowa (Tuesday and April 20) before being reassessed Lefty Jordan Wicks is also with the I-Cubs and is an option on the 40-man roster The Cubs also have highly touted pitching prospect Cade Horton -- ranked by MLB Pipeline as the club’s No. 2 prospect and No. 48 on the Top 100 -- at Triple-A but he is coming off an injury-shortened 2024 campaign Counsell said the focus for Horton is to keep logging consistent innings to put himself on the MLB radar for later this summer “You don’t replace people like Justin Steele,” Counsell said but it’s very difficult to replace that level of play collectively operating under the banner of SOS GP Inc ("Shoppes on
