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…

For over two decades, Toronto’s Avenues have been part of the City’s strategy to manage growth and accommodate intensification. Through the Housing Action Plan (HAP) 2022-2026, Council directed City Planning to review the Official Plan to ensure that it aligns with the need for more housing in areas that can accommodate more residential growth. As part of the HAP Work Plan, the Avenues Policy Review examined opportunities to enable more housing by reframing the Avenues vision, policies, and mapping. This initiative represents one of 54 actions items in the HAP. Avenues have attracted significant realized and potential growth. The City’s Development Pipeline bulletin for 2023 (January 2019 - December 2023) reported that Avenues contained the most proposed projects of any of the Official Plan’s growth management areas. In total, there are 640 development projects (271 under review, 227 active, and 142 built) that account for over 180,000 residential units and over 1 million square metres of non-residential gross floor area, representing 24 percent of the city’s units and 8% of its non-residential gross floor area in the pipeline. While not all of these…

Building on the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods (EHON) City-wide Multiplex Study, City Council directed staff to undertake an area specific study within an area that roughly corresponds to the boundaries of Ward 23 – Scarborough North. The study explored the potential of permitting multiplexes with up to six dwelling units on properties designated Neighbourhoods in the Official Plan, and increasing the maximum building depth up to 19 metres, regardless of the lot dimensions. This report summarizes the work undertaken and recommends approving area specific Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments to permit multiplexes with five and six dwelling units (also referred to as fiveplexes and sixplexes, respectively) in all residential zones within the study area. The proposed amendments build on the existing city-wide multiplex permissions for up to four units, and do not include changes to built form performance standards. This study is a significant pilot which brings forward permissions to expand city-wide multiplex dwelling unit permissions from four to six units within a single residential home. This is one of 54 actions in Toronto's 2023 Housing Action Plan (HAP…

For over a century and a half, Canada has had a deep and true friendship with its closest neighbour, ally and trading partner, the United States of America. However, this close friendship should never be confused with a desire to become one in the same entity. Troubling statements originating from President Donald Trump have circulated in mass media and social media for weeks, which attempt to bring into question Canada’s independence, our distinct culture and values, and suggest that our proud nation should become the 51st state of the United States of America. As appalling and absurd as these messages are to Canadians, the comments could be used to distract from serious international relations discussions on issues that may have profound effects on our citizens, businesses and economy. With the looming spectre of deep tariffs on cross border trade, it is now more important than ever that Toronto quash any fantasies that its citizens support, desire or aspire to be part of the 51st state of the United States of America. Therefore, I recommend that City Council, on behalf of the three million citizens of Toronto, take a firm position against Canada becoming the 51st state of…

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.
