"MLS years are like dog years," Grant jokes, noting that means he spent 91 years with the Municipal Licensing & Standards department.
He thanks colleagues, the media and his family.
"My time with the city has left me with a lifetime of lessons."
Mayor Olivia Chow takes the podium. She notes Carleton Grant has worked for City Hall for 32 years, serving under five mayors. "His contributions have touched nearly every corner of this city," she says.
Grant gets a loud standing ovation and a photo with the mayor.
Municipal Licensing and Standards is glad to be a part of a great partnership between the City and Toronto Police to ensure residents are making the right call. toronto.ca/home/311-toronto-…
To ensure that Torontonians know what number they call when seeking help, Toronto Police and the City launched the Make the Right Call awareness campaign today.

Join ULI Toronto March 23rd as we survey the broad realm of urban acoustics from construction to competing land uses to understand why it's better to adopt design solutions than remediate design failures through new stricter building codes.

Thanks @JoshMatlow for your ongoing support of the #RentsafeTO program and for your work with tenants and my team to continuously improve this important City program.
Tenants should be able to know the condition of a building before making it their home. If already there, they should be able to expect a safe & healthy place to live. I’m proud to have helped initiate RentSafeTO. Check out our new interactive webpage at: Toronto.ca/RentSafeTO.
Registration opens tomorrow for this year’s expanded CaféTO program. Restaurant operators interested in a curb lane or sidewalk café this year can learn more at toronto.ca/cafeto
