Evan Solomon’s New Office Nears Opening at Parliament and Gerrard

Toronto Centre MP and Canada’s Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, Evan Solomon, is preparing to open his new constituency office at 409 Parliament Street, near the busy intersection of Gerrard and Parliament in Regent Park. Designed as a welcoming and accessible hub, the office will allow residents to meet in person, raise local concerns, and access federal services.

RPTV visited the site and documented the exterior, where a truck was parked as final preparations were underway. While the interior remains under wraps, a team member confirmed off-camera that a grand opening will soon be held to welcome the community.

The move follows an incident at Solomon’s former office over the Labour Day weekend, when pro- Palestine posters, a political cartoon, and the name of a journalist killed in an Israeli airstrike were plastered on the entrance. Solomon condemned the vandalism, stressing that peaceful protest is a democratic right but intimidation has no place. Authorities are still investigating.

At a recent St. James Town festival, Solomon introduced his refreshed staff to residents and addressed pressing issues such as affordable housing, rising living costs, and public safety. He highlighted federal measures including the Canada Built Canada Homes program and the creation of a national housing agency.

For Toronto Centre, the new office is more than bricks and mortar—it represents access, accountability, and a stronger connection between residents and their MP.
