The Toronto mayoral debate organized by The Federation of North Toronto Residents Associations (FoNTRA) and the Federation of South Toronto Residents Associations (FoSTRA), slated for Thursday at OCAD University has been cancelled after several candidates received online death threats from a man currently wanted by police.
A notice on their website reads:
To our valued guests:
It is with deep sadness that we announce the permanent closures of our remaining stores at 1543 Bayview Avenue, 291 Roncesvalles Avenue and 189 Danforth Avenue as well as our online market shop.delamer.ca.
Our last day of serving you in-store will be Sunday June 11th, 2023.
Our last day of orders at shop.delamer.ca will be Thursday June 8th, 2023.
In 2011, David Illiatovitch-Owen took the helm of our company and grew it from a single location to four retail stores and a commercial commissary. More importantly, De La Mer has become known as one of Toronto’s leading fish mongers with emphasis on quality, service, and sustainability of product. This success has been due to David’s leadership and vision, our incredible crew, our partners, our suppliers, and you, our very loyal guests. As many of you know, David is battling advanced pancreatic cancer. He has made the painful decision to close the business to focus time on family.
We will continue to redeem loyalty points (with a 300-point minimum at our stores through Sunday June 11th, 2023.
We will miss seeing you and being in the great communities in which we have been located. Wishing each of you good health and fortune for the future.
❤ De La Mer Crew ❤De La Mer Fresh Fish Market
In late May, De La Mer announced the closure of their shop at 728 St. Clair Avenue West; the last day of service at that location was Sunday, May 28th, 2023.
We believe we can speak on behalf of the whole neighbourhood as we wish David and his family all the very best as Dave continues his battle with cancer. ❤️

Dugald Cameron bio:
“My gardening career began at an early age in my English Grandmother’s garden where I’d occasionally help out with weeding & digging. I must have “caught the bug” then, because I’ve been interested in plants and gardens ever since. My wife Lynn Pashleigh, Father and I started Gardenimport, a mail order nursery in 1983 because we couldn’t find the quality or selection of plants we wanted for our gardens. Offering a top quality selection of the latest seeds, flower bulbs and plants to Canadian gardeners from a catalogue and website. After 32 years of business Gardenimport was closed in 2014.”
Dugald was on the Board of Directors at The Toronto Botanical Garden for 13 years and continues to volunteer there, teaching and writing for the Trellis magazine. He speaks on many subjects to Horticultural Societies in Southern Ontario and has sat in for Ed Lawrence on CBC’s Ontario Today. He was the founding president of the Greater Toronto Bulb Society and is a member of numerous horticultural societies. His diverse gardening interests include spring & summer flowering bulbs, shrubs, perennials and clematis.

A spring update from Children’s Garden School
Earlier this month, Mother’s Day and International Day of Families marked a celebratory week for the CGS parents. All of their students spent time crafting and enjoyed expressing their love and gratitude through fun homemade gifts like potted plants, personally designed tote bags, origami bouquets, rainbow painted hearts, and mom letter glazed photos perfect for the mantle. The Early Starts hosted a party for their moms with some songs, gift giving and treats, while other classes presented their special gifts at drop off and pick up.
CaféTO curb lane café installations are underway throughout the City. This year marks the first summer of CaféTO as a permanent City of Toronto program with new requirements. This week City crews began installing traffic safety equipment to safely close curb lanes and allow restaurant and bar owners and operators to open their permitted curb lane cafés. As per City Council direction, curb lanes closed beginning Monday, May 15, to provide adequate time to complete spring road maintenance and cleaning activities. Installation of traffic safety equipment will continue through June for all remaining approved CaféTO curb lane locations.
It appears as though Mirage Mediterranean Restaurant (1620 Bayview), Darna Middle Eastern Kitchen (1613 Bayview) and Buono Ristorante (1566 Bayview) are setting up CaféTO curb lane installations on Bayview this year.
A rezoning application has been submitted for 405 & 415 Mount Pleasant Road, 323, 323R, 325, 327 & 329 Balliol Street.
