I got to warm up at Johnny G’s with a comforting breakfast before heading back to the campaign office after saying hi to neighbours at Sherbourne Station as I started today β›…οΈπŸ§‡

Had a blast talking to voters in the Village this morning about how I'm fighting to have the TTC fairly funded and upload the housing and mental health services that the province should always have been paying for.

This afternoon I visited 275 Bleecker Street - a TCHC building in our community in St. James Town that had a significant fire that began on the sixth floor.

Thank you @uswmetallos.bsky.social , @osstf.bsky.social, and CUPE Local 2 for your support of my campaign in this election! I have fought for workers' rights for my entire time in office, and am energized to continue fighting for workers at Queen's Park!

Conversations with the amazing people of Toronto Centre keeps me energized β€” even during early morning transit stop meetings!

Fiona votes early! You can make your plan to vote early too in the Advance Polls that run from Thursday February 20 to Saturday February 22 from 10 AM to 8 PM. Let me know if I can count on your vote at www.kristynwongtam.ca/pledge

What an incredible turnout today to officially launch our campaign and warm our campaign office! πŸ’– Thank you to volunteers and community members for your dedication and for braving the snow! I cannot wait to continue hitting the ground running on this campaign.

Thank you to all the volunteers who keep showing up and are the fuel of my campaign! I look forward to seeing you at tomorrow's office opening and at the door steps of Toronto Centre!

I had a great time talking to Toronto Centre voters at Wellesley Station coming home from work about what they want from the province, and why I believe that re-electing me to continue fighting for our neighbourhoods is the best choice for our communities!

The year of the wood snake started with joy and celebration today in Toronto Centre thanks to Neighbourhood Information Post's Lunar New Year Celebration! I want to give Neighbourhood Information Post and Gladys my deepest thanks. Thank you and happy Lunar New Year! 🧧🧧🧧

One full week of the election campaign done! Our team has built incredible momentum! βœ… I am officially on the ballot to fight for our community. βœ… We started working out of an office in the heart of Regent Park.

Sometimes, this is what campaigning looks like! Thank you Dixon Hall for organizing such a joyous Lunar New Year celebration for our community members. I loved getting to say hello to new and old friends, and recognize the invaluable work you do supporting and connecting our community members.

I love small businesses and I love talking to small business owners about how the province can better support them! I'm so grateful for the support I'm hearing from small businesses across Toronto Centre for my work and advocacy! #TorCen #TorontoCentre #ONpoli

The wind might be strong but our community is stronger! It was great talking to voters in Toronto Centre on their way home from work today β€” people want action on housing, health care, and affordability.

I am officially now on your ballot Toronto Centre! Thank you to the staff at the Returning Office and all the people working so hard to orchestrate a snap winter election. I am committed to earning your vote and continuing to fight for safer more affordable communities.

Thank you to all the #TorCen community members who made my first ever New Year's Levee such an incredible success! It was incredible sharing snacks and joy with community in the Regent Park at Daniel's spectrum. Should I make this a yearly event? πŸ˜‰ #ONpoli #TorontoCentre #LNY2025

No one deserves to be homelessness. Lorenzo Berardinetti's tragic story reminds us all that under Ford, his government has no plan to prevent or end homelessness. #onpoli #TorCen www.thestar.com/news/gta/i-m...

Ford's a big talker like Trump. At City Council he would insult the public service and anyone who disagreed with him. Ford was always threatening to defeat political foes. His winner takes all attitude was unreasonable to deal with. Now Ford has to deal with himself in Trump.
