As municipal populations grow and demand for services increases, the need for sustainable fiscal frameworks becomes more urgent. The City of Toronto, like many others, faces a structural deficit, a growing state of good repair backlog, and the financial burden of assuming responsibilities that should fall to higher levels of government. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has long championed the need for municipalities to have the financial tools to meet these challenges. In May 2023, Federation of Canadian Municipalities passed a resolution calling for a new Municipal Growth Framework that aligns local government revenues with economic and population growth. This would ensure municipalities have the resources to address national issues like affordable housing, climate change, and infrastructure. Similarly, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario is advocating for less reliance on property taxes to fund provincial responsibilities and more investment in local infrastructure and housing. By aligning with the advocacy efforts of Federation of Canadian Municipalities and Association of Municipalities of Ontario, Toronto can strengthen its voice and empower our residents to…

With recent threats from President Donald Trump to impose a 25 percent tariff on Canadian products and services, it is important that municipalities, businesses, and residents across Canada stand up for our country, our economy, and our businesses. The City of Toronto, Canada’s largest municipality, has an opportunity to encourage residents, businesses, and cities across Canada to create and participate in a “Buy Local, Buy Canadian” campaign to ensure that we support local products, local businesses, and local growth. This motion requests that the City Manager and relevant City Divisions develop a comprehensive “Buy Local, Buy Canadian” campaign that will encourage spending to further develop our own local economies through the purchasing of local goods and services when available.

Addressing homelessness is perhaps the greatest social challenge of our times. The causes of homelessness are varied and complex and require a whole society approach to adopt successful solutions. That being said, with Toronto Shelter and Support Services seeking to locate a shelter in the Wilson Avenue and Keele Street area, an opportunity exists to create a dynamic partnership with Humber River Hospital. Such a close partnership would build real treatment and solution-based strategies that help the homeless back on their feet and not on the street. The vacant lands at 1220 Wilson Avenue is a Toronto Parking Authority site that is a non performing holding for that division. The parcel is nestled into a stable neighbourhood and sits across the street from the Humber River Hospital. The lands front Wilson Avenue and would provide much needed green space in the area and provide a valuable gathering space for employees and patients of Humber River Hospital, the students of Pierre Laporte Middle school to the west and the neighbourhood as a whole. While a homeless shelter has been considered for this site, these discussions have been superseded by opportunities with the leadership of…

In January 2023 the Board of Health requested that the Medical Officer of Health develop a working table to review the intersection of health and homelessness. In response, Toronto Public Health convened a group of experts and individuals with lived and living experience, including representatives from healthcare, academia, frontline services, and various City of Toronto divisions to create the Health and Homelessness Working Table. This group participated in a series of eight meetings from August 2023 to May 2024. The primary objective of the Health and Homelessness Working Table was to provide input on and share recommendations addressing health-related issues affecting individuals experiencing homelessness in Toronto. Each meeting focused on specific health issues or populations, such as healthy environments, chronic disease management, refugees and asylum claimants, safety and injury prevention, mental health and substance use, and health across the lifespan. Throughout the series of meetings, participants emphasized the need for enhanced multi-sector collaboration involving all levels of government. They identified gaps and opportunities for improving access to and coordinati…

When I was a Child Advocate of Toronto, many years ago, I asked the children of Toronto what would be one thing they would do if they were mayor. Lots of them suggested parks and playgrounds. But Sylvia, a 5-year-old, said she would “ask god for more money to buy groceries.” Sylvia experienced hunger and watched her mom run out of grocery money. She knew what it was like to go to school on an empty stomach. Every day she was more focused on her hunger, than her teachers. In a city as prosperous as ours, these stories are far too common. Things are tough. And as the cost of living soars, this is increasingly impacting our kids. Food bank visits in the Greater Toronto Area are up 51 percent from last year. One out of three of these users are children. The City of Toronto steps up every day to help feed over 230,000 kids through the school food program. I’m proud of my own work in getting that program off the ground and continuing to improve it. At this meeting alone, we voted to ensure 8,000 more kids will be fed at school starting in January. That means fewer hungry kids, and badly needed savings for parents. Yet we must recognize how serious the problem is today…
