We were very proud to present Brenda Thompson, chair of Scarborough Transit Action (STA), and Councillor for Ward 22 St Paul's, Josh Matlow, with transit champion awards. Brenda Thompson and the folks at STA has been relentless in exposing the flaws with the one stop Scarborough subway and pushing hard for the better alternative, a 24 stop LRT network. Josh Matlow has consistently pushed for transit planning to be based on solid evidence-based decision making. Thank you both for your inspiring work.
