An honour song rang out in the city council chambers moments before councillors unanimously approved the creation of an Indigenous Affairs Office. The city plans to spend $520,000 to create the four-person office, which will be attached to the city manager's office. A smudge ceremony, and an honour song today at #Toronto city hall, where later council will vote on establishing an Indigenous Affairs Office. Tory said if Toronto wants to boast about its multicultural and accepting background, creating this office is a "necessary prerequisite." James Pasternak asked whether the federal government would send the city money to support this project.
