The event will be held on September 27 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and represents one of the ways we will be recognizing the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Let’s put this pandemic in the rearview mirror.

Recently, the federal government established September 30 as National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, in response to one of the 94 Calls to Action made by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to address the impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities. This date is also recognized as Orange Shirt Day, in remembrance of the date that Indigenous children were forcibly taken from their homes.

At the TTC, we acknowledge the historical and present day injustices and the collective impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities. We are committed to making our organization more diverse, equitable and inclusive for employees and customers. The TTC’s 10-Point Action Plan for Diversity and Inclusion includes plans to establish partnerships with Indigenous community organizations and to develop educational training against anti-Indigenous racism.

Hear directly from R. Stacey Laforme, the elected Chief of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN), about the impact of residential schools on his community and the importance of Truth and Reconciliation. Born and raised on MCFN, Chief Laforme was first elected to council in 1999 and has served his community for over two decades. In his role as Chief, he was instrumental in having the MNCFN be the first ever official First Nation to host the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games in 2015.

Chief Laforme is also a noted author of books and poetry. His work has been featured in the Veterans Memorial, at Fort York as well as in the short film Sacred Trust.

On Saturday, September 18, 16 teams from all over the TTC competed in the annual TTC Recreation Slo-Pitch tournament at the CAA Centre in Brampton.

Congratulations to Arrow Road Division who won the tournament for the second year in a row.

A big thank you to everyone who came out! The Recreation Council is looking forward to seeing you all again next year.

New PRESTO screens are rolling out on buses, streetcars and at stations. The screens on the buses and streetcars will be updated on September 25, 2021, while the screens on the fare gates will be updated between October 4 and the middle of October.

The new screens include more information for customers, including:

The screens will also include more descriptions for why a PRESTO card or PRESTO Ticket has been declined, such as:

In addition to these changes, a new three-toned chime sound and flashing yellow light will be introduced to indicate a child card is being used. Customers who have a Fair Pass Discount Program fare type on their card will hear one beep from the reader and fare gate when they tap their card, instead of two.

Last week, we asked readers which year all TTC bus routes became accessible.

The entire TTC bus network became fully accessible with the retirement of the last non-accessible buses in 2011.

The TTC’s last few remaining GM “New Look” non-accessible buses – a model that dated back to the 1950s – made their final scheduled run on the 52 Lawrence West route on December 16.
