The Rapid Housing Initiative (RHI) is a federal capital funding program which aims to create new affordable rental housing within an expedited time frame for people experiencing or those at risk of homelessness. This program has been critical in scaling up the supply of deeply affordable homes primarily through modular construction, acquisitions and/or conversions. In November 2022, the federal government announced the third phase of RHI which will allocate: $500 million nationally to municipalities under the Cities Stream; and $1 billion nationally via an applications-based process to provinces, territories, municipalities, Indigenous governing bodies and organizations, and non-profit organizations. Eligible projects must be delivered within 18 months and the City is required to submit an investment plan to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) by March 15, 2023 with a list of potential projects for funding consideration. In order to meet the March 15, 2023 timeline, staff are reviewing a number of City-owned sites which might be appropriate to building modular homes, and potential acquisition opportunities including a few existing shelter hotel sites. As part of the…

Majority required - PH1.9 - Adoption of Planning and Housing Committee Recommendations 2, 3, and 4 only
City Council on December 14 and 15, 2022, referred Motion MM2.15 to the Executive Committee for further consideration. Beginning with the 2003 election and in every election until 2021, City Council maintained the requirement that all participants in the Contribution Rebate Program submit copies of all campaign invoices. These invoices reside in the City Clerk’s Office and may be inspected by any individual. According to a 2002 staff report, Members of Council added the requirement to provide copies of invoices due to concern for the “lack of documentation of campaign expenses” that was otherwise available. On October 1, 2021, City Council adopted the recommendations of a report entitled, “Mail-In Voting and Contribution Rebate Programs in the 2022 General Municipal Election.” The recommendations regarding the Contribution Rebate Program eliminated the requirement for candidates to provide copies of all campaign invoices. While the requirement to submit copies of invoices was removed, candidates are still required by the Municipal Elections Act to maintain invoice records privately. It is not too late to amend Municipal Code Chapter 53, Elections, to…

On July 19, 2022, Toronto City Council approved EX34.7 – Review and Considerations for a Housing Commissioner Role or Function. Following its approval, Council requested that Ombudsman Toronto consider the May 2022 Maytree Consultant Report ("Crean and Maytree Report"), as well as the June 2022 City Manager’s Report and Recommendations to Council ("City Manager's Report"), and provide Council with recommendations related to the resources and structure required for the office to focus on investigations and reports related to systemic housing discrimination and systemic hurdles in the City of Toronto’s housing planning and service delivery roles, including the consideration of a dedicated Deputy Ombudsman, Housing. This report will outline the structure and identify the resources required to take on the proposed role, should Council provide its approval. Our review, requested by City Council, included an examination of Council’s July 19, 2022 decision, the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan, the Housing Charter, the Crean and Maytree Report, and the City Manager’s Report. The Crean and Maytree Report notes that “a single action, individual or office…

In December 2021, City Council adopted the Cycling Network Plan and the associated 2022-2024 Near-Term Implementation Plan, which seeks to build on the existing network of cycling routes to Connect gaps in the current network, Grow the network into new parts of the city, and Renew existing parts of the network to improve safety. This report provides an update on the progress of the Cycling Network Near-Term Implementation Program (2022 to 2024) including an outline of three major projects planned for 2023. The main focus of this report is an update on the 2021 ActiveTO Cycling Network Expansion pilot projects on Midtown Yonge Street and Bayview Avenue south of River Street, summarizing additional data collected, and recommendations that both pilot projects be made permanent based on the performance data collected and alignment with City Council approved policies. The ActiveTO Cycling Network Expansion program dedicated road space on a temporary basis to facilitate cycling for essential trips and physical activity in order to support the city during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. The program was highlighted in the City of Toronto's Office of Recovery and Rebuild's COVID-19…

The purpose of this report is to update Schedule C of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 67, Fair Wage (the "Fair Wage Schedule"). The Fair Wage Schedule is comprised of six schedules for the following classifications of work: General Classifications, Heavy Construction Work; Industrial, Commercial, Institutional (I.C.I.) Work; Road Building; Sewer and Watermain Construction; and Utility Work. The Fair Wage Schedule is used with the Fair Wage Policy, being Schedule A to Chapter 67, to harmonize hourly wages, vacation and holiday pay, benefits, and weekly hours of work received by organized and unorganized workers performing City work and to create a level playing field for contractors bidding on City contracts. An updated Fair Wage Schedule is recommended to Council for approval every three years. Updating the Fair Wage Schedule took longer to complete than expected due to a number of factors, including limited staffing resources and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current Fair Wage Schedule covers 2016 to 2019 and must be updated to reflect 2019 to 2022 rates. The updated Fair Wage Schedule set out in Attachment "A" reflects wage increases recognized by the construction labo…

The purpose of this report is to request City Council approval to close the F.G. Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway on the Sundays of June 4, 2023, June 2, 2024 and June 1, 2025 for the purpose of the Bike for Brain Health event in support of the Baycrest Foundation. Historically, it has been a practice to seek authority for 3 year periods in order to give event organizers some certainty for planning these annual events.
