TORONTO — Olivia Chow says it's time for the display of congratulatory cards behind her desk in the mayor's office to be put away.
One hundred days into her tenure as Toronto mayor, it could be taken as a sign the celebration – and the transition – is over.
The first 100 days – a milestone reached Friday – have seen Chow look to make her mark on the walls of the mayor's office and city council's agenda. "Has she made a significant dent into municipal finances and housing files? ... The jury is still out on that," said Siemiatycki, who applauded her early tenure.Chow has already looked to make advances.
Those appointments also caught the attention of city hall watchers who see it as a savvy attempt at coalition building. McNally advised on the city's winter homelessness plan, which she said is still"deficient," but includes some important gains. Among them, the plan includes a 24-7 respite centre, something advocates had pushed the city to include in last year's plan, as well as additional sites at warming centres.
