My teenage son was hit by a car on his bike today riding on the sidewalk

My teenage son was hit by a car on his bike today riding on the sidewalk on Bayview as the person was turning into Park Place around noon. He was really shaken up and the person did stop and ask if he was ok but then left without giving any of their information and telling him to call his mom. Another person also stopped to help, but he let them leave without getting their information either. I've reported to the police but they say that without driver information, they can't do anything. They also say it is not a fail to remain because they did stop. His bike has some damage, but I think he is ok as he said he didn't fall on his head, but I'm really upset that a driver would hit a kid and then leave without making sure that a parent knew about it. If anyone saw this today or has any information, could you DM me? Source

Yesterday I sent out an email blast to all the current and past recipients

Yesterday I sent out an email blast to all the current and past recipients of the Fresh Food Weekly meal box delivery program and asked if anyone would be interested in talking to me about some of the struggles they’re facing, and if so, I would share their story on social media, to help people become more aware of what life is actually like for thousands of Canadians. I’m starting to realize that most of us are simply not aware of what is going on in our own backyards. I just got off the phone with a 74-year-old woman who left me in tears. Her husband died 11 years ago and he owned a successful glass window installation company in Mississauga. Their son ended up taking advantage of her financially after her husband passed and this is not the first time I’ve heard of adult children taking advantage of a vulnerable parent. He left her with nothing and now she’s living on a pension that doesn’t give her enough to eat or pay for necessary medical expenses. In her response to my…
