‘We are not doing that well’: Mayor Olivia Chow on kids in the city

Guests: Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow

In our series, The Kids Aren’t All Right, the Star has been highlighting the many ways in which children are struggling in Toronto. Mayor Olivia Chow talks about why she thinks a lot of these areas stem from housing affordability, and about her plan to try to break the logjam on that file. She also discusses her history of advocating for children at the city, and what inspired it, and gives some concrete steps she plans to take in the next year or two to try to make things easier for families and children.

This episode was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Edward Keenan and Sean Pattendon.

The Kids Aren't All Right

If Nelson Mandela was right that there is no keener revelation of a society’s soul than the way in which it treats children, Canada has reason to worry. Our kids are struggling — and no wonder. From education to health care, climate to housing, we are leaving them an inheritance of crisis and anxiety. The Toronto Star looks at how our country is failing a generation, the toll it’s taking on our kids — and how we can turn things around.
