LAST DAY ON THE JOB Ââ Randy Henry recently put in his last day as Torontoâs police chief after serving in the cityâs police department for 41 years, 10 of which as chief. Warren Scott
TORONTO As he reflected on 41 years in the city’s police department, including 10 as its chief, Randy Henry noted law enforcement wasn’t a field he had originally set out to pursue.
But, he added it’s a job, with its ups and downs, that he’s glad to have held.
Henry said he had been a year out of high school and working at Colliers Steel in a tool and dye apprenticeship in 1979 when his father, Rod, asked him to run the Dairy Isle ice cream shop he had recently bought.

TORONTO Council approved steps to reduce the risk of children being struck by vehicles near an apartment complex and discussed several issues related to the city’s new recreation center.
During Monday’s meeting, council agreed to reduce the speed limit on Madison Avenue between Wentworth Avenue and Valleyview Place from 25 miles per hour to 15 miles per hour.
The panel also agreed to prohibit parking from Madison Avenue to Franklin Street on Gilbert Avenue, a narrow street where parked vehicles are said to have hindered passage as well as visibility.
Third Ward Councilman Jason Fogle said the measures were among solutions considered last week at a meeting of council’s safety committee, which he chairs, and several city officials after hearing from parents of children who live in the apartment buildings known to many residents as Mill Row.
