In December 2024, The City of Toronto unveiled the sites of six new shelter locations that are planned to be developed in accordance with the City’s 10-year Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy, approved by Council in November 2023. The City has delegated the public consultation process to the Community Engagement Facilitator Public Progress team. They have been tasked with providing ongoing shelter updates, responding to questions and working collaboratively with the City and local community members. In coordination with Toronto Shelter and Supportive Services, City staff recently determined that addressing planning entitlement matters through a collective approach for the six sites, as opposed to a site-by-site process. Community consultation sessions and public engagement campaigns have taken on a generalized approach which does not appropriately reflect the needs and concerns of local communities which will be impacted by the six new proposed shelters.

Majority required - DM31.1 - Bravo - motion 2
Pride Month is an opportunity to celebrate a remarkable milestone: the 50th anniversary of the Cabbagetown Group Softball League. Half a century ago, a group of trailblazers came together to form a baseball league where the gay community could gather in joy, camaraderie, and competition in a well-loved sport. The original constitution of the league spelled out its values to “provide and protect the opportunity for individuals who support the bonds of gay fellowship to play softball in an atmosphere of friendly competition, free of discrimination on the basis of age, race, creed, sex, ability and sexual orientation.” They had wanted to name the league Cabbagetown Gay Softball League, but instead had to choose a name that would allow them to secure field permits at a time when the City of Toronto would not issue a baseball permit to an openly gay league. So, the initials Cabbagetown Group Softball League had two meanings – one for the permit and one for the community. But their identity - and their mission to bring the fledgling open gay community together in sport - were never hidden. From those early games at Riverdale Park to today’s vibrant and welcoming…

On Thursday May 29th 2025, staff of Toronto Shelter and Support Services, and Corporate Real Estate Management provided me a verbal statement of their intention to open a new homeless shelter in Ward 2, Etobicoke Centre. This is the second shelter to be located in the ward. On Friday May 30th 2025, staff confirmed their intentions along with some basic information in writing, including a real estate transaction closing date in the future. They advised me that the details, including the location, were confidential and commercially sensitive. On the same day I sent a letter to the public service advising of my objections to the shelter, and insisted that the shelter real estate transaction be paused so that the community may be meaningfully consulted prior to the City government committing to the decision. On June 11th 2025, I received a follow-up contact from staff indicating that after my letter to them, they had decided to accelerate the real estate transaction closing date, and that they had taken an intentional specific step on June 5th to commit to the real estate transaction. This information came as a surprise, and was in complete defiance of my response letter. One of the e…

Two-Thirds required - MM31.10 - Waive the referral
I am writing to request the waiving of fees associated with the loss of three parking spaces on Bond Street and the relocation of two parking machines associated with the redevelopment of St. Michael’s Hospital. St. Michael’s Hospital is a renowned research centre and teaching hospital in Toronto’s downtown core. With over one million patient visits annually, St. Michael’s Hospital has one of Canada’s largest regional trauma care centres, providing healthcare for both the neighbourhood and the City at large. St. Michael’s Hospital is replacing its Shuter Wing with a new 6-storey addition approved through the site plan review process (Application: 16 148963 STE13 SA). In response to the interest from both the local Business Improvement Area and the former ward Councillor, public realm improvements were provided on Shuter Street and Bond Street, to enhance connectivity, accessibility, and pedestrian safety. The hospital estimates the value of this work at close to $1.5 million dollars. These improvements on Bond Street will reduce the number of existing on-street paid parking spaces operated by the Toronto Parking Authority, as the plans would swa…

The Applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment to obtain a consent to sever the property municipally known as 36 Romeo Street into two residential lots (Application B0048/24EYK), and to request variances from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 (Applications A0015/25EYK and A0016/25EYK) to construct a new dwelling on each of the newly created lots (the “Applications”). On April 17, 2025, the Etobicoke York District Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused the Applications. Copies of the Committee’s decisions are attached as Attachment 1. The applicant has appealed the refusal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (the “Appeal”). The Applications require variances to By-law 569-2013, including but not limited to: lot frontage, lot area, lot coverage, floor space index, side yard setback, dwelling length, number of storeys, main wall height, roof eave projection, number of platforms, platform size, and driveway width. For the City to continue to effectively assess its case, the City Solicitor requires the expertise of an external consultant to advise on the applicant’s proposed plan, and to potentially make recommendations respecting a solution.…

In October 2024, Council directed City staff to report back by the second quarter of 2025 with a vision and strategy for achieving a universal student food program consistent with Toronto’s Cool Food commitments, where a universal morning meal is provided in all Toronto school communities[1] by the 2026/2027 school year and a strategic path to achieving a universal lunch program no later than 2030. This work resulted in the development of two key strategies: - A phased implementation plan for a universal morning meal program, targeted for full rollout by the 2026/2027 school year. - A strategic blueprint for establishing a universal lunch program by 2030.
