The Toronto Ombudsman’s office released their first annual report last Friday, concluding, among other things, that “the City of Toronto needs to be empathetic and caring to the public.”
According to a spokesman for the Toronto Ombudsman’s office, that means that would like to remind the ombudsman to the City that the services it provides to Torontonians are provided fair and with dignity.

In 2021, the Ombudsman received more than 2,800 complaints, an increase of 15% compared to the previous year. According to Natalie Kaiser, 90% of cases are resolved within 30 days or less.
