Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Toronto Centre! The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar and is celebrated, not only in Chinese culture, but also in many cultures and communities across East Asia.

Today begins the week-long celebration of Sukkot. In the Jewish faith, Sukkot is known as the “Festival of Tabernacles”, marked by building a sukkah symbolizing divine shelter, spending time outdoors, and celebrating the end of the harvest season.

A shooting outside of a synagogue on Yom Kippur is vile and we must all condemn this violence. I'm thinking about the Jewish community in Belleville and across Ontario as they deal with this traumatic act. All Canadians deserve to worship, gather, and live without fear.

Kristyn Wong-Tam @kristynwongtam.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Today is Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days in the Jewish Calendar. It is known as the Day of Atonement, when those marking the occasion will fast for close to 26 hours, focusing on prayer, repentance, and divine forgiveness.

Our healthcare, social, and community workers are always there for us when we need them. They have been on strike for over 100 days, fighting for what they deserve. Now, let's support our workers by joining them in demanding that Doug Ford pay the wages he owes them!

It’s pride in the Capital! Ottawa holds its Capital Pride festival in August to honour the historic "We Demand" protest of August 28, 1971, when more than 100 activists gathered on Parliament Hill to call for equal rights for 2SLGBTQIA+ people.
