As part of the 2023 Housing Action Plan, City Council adopted a New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Housing ("MTH") and recognized this form of rental housing stock as a critical component of affordable housing options. This program brought new incentives and other financial supports to assist property owners in obtaining a licence for this housing in all areas of the City. In response to MM20.30 Multi-Tenant Housing Framework: Parks Levy Exemption and Framework Application, this report seeks Council authority to exempt dwelling rooms in a multi-tenant house from parkland dedication requirements in Article III of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415, being the Parkland By-law ("Article III"). This amendment aligns with Council's priority for the development of this housing type and other financial considerations provided by the City. Following Council's recent adoption of MM22.10 Supporting Transitional Housing in Toronto - 3 Cadillac Avenue (Neshama Hospice) and site-specific parkland dedication exemption for the development of a non-profit hospice, this report also seeks approval to apply the exemption to non-profit hospices city-wide to reflect Council's support of this typ…

This report recommends the adoption by City Council of interim 2025 Solid Waste Management Services (SWMS) Rates and Fees as set out in this report. The adoption of these interim rates and fees is requested in advance of the 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budgets to establish these interim rates and fees and provide City staff with the necessary authority to implement them effective January 1, 2025. City Council may amend the interim rates when the 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budget is approved, which is expected in February 2025. This report recommends an interim 3.75 percent increase in SWMS rates and fees effective January 1, 2025. The recommended increase, shown in Table 1 below by customer grouping, will allow Solid Waste Management Services to maintain all current service levels and address future capital needs.

As part of the City’s application to the federal Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF), City Council directed staff to report back by the second quarter of 2024 on opportunities to enable as-of-right zoning for residential buildings with up to six units and four storeys city-wide. This would build on the recent adoption of permissions for multiplexes with up to four units and the Ward 23 (Scarborough North) Multiplex study exploring six-unit buildings that is currently underway. This report provides an overview of the current policy context and ongoing work to permit six-unit buildings city-wide; summarizes emerging trends and best practices in other jurisdictions for multi-unit residential buildings; identifies potential barriers; and sets out a proposed workplan to identify opportunities to expand permissions for six-unit and four-storey residential buildings city-wide. Should Planning and Housing Committee endorse this workplan, staff will undertake further analysis and stakeholder consultation and will report back in Q4 2025 with a proposals report outlining proposed amendments to advance for broader public consultation and implementation.

Christianity is the most followed religion in our country, with more than half of the Canadian population identifying as members of the Christian faith. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms even mentions God in its very first sentence. In December, Christians around the world prepare for their annual celebrations commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ; also known as Christmas. During this time, Christian faith groups utilize literature, art, music, gastronomy, and architecture to tell the stories of Jesus and his compassion, love, acceptance and the Good News of the Gospel he brought. December is associated with the tradition of gift giving and gathering of family, friends, and people of all faiths. Christian organizations and places of worship offer religious services, unique events, and initiatives that highlight a strong Christian heritage during the month of December. Despite the days, weeks and even months being dedicated to other religions and heritages, there is no such recognition for the Christian faith in Canada. As proud citizens of this diverse and culturally rich nation, we believe it is important to recognize and celebrate the contributions of all religious a…

In the City of Toronto, we uphold the principle of voluntary blood and plasma donation, acknowledging its vital importance as a public good. Our commitment derives from the lessons of Canada’s tainted blood crisis, which tragically claimed approximately 8,000 lives. The subsequent Royal Krever Commission urged a fully voluntary, non-payment oriented blood and plasma donation system. Within our Ontario healthcare system, we perceive blood donations as a priceless public resource, underscoring the need to safeguard the integrity of the public, voluntary donor system. The Voluntary Blood Donations Act of Ontario strengthens this stance, legislating against the payment of donors and prohibiting donors from receiving financial compensation for their blood or plasma. Canada Blood Services plans to open five paid plasma clinics, including one in Toronto, by 2025. This issue needs immediate attention and action. The public health community has raised concerns about Grifols Pharmaceuticals' plans to open a Toronto clinic. It's vital we protect vulnerable residents from exploitation by for-profit plasma collection companies offering cash for blood-plasma, a predatory practice. In brin…
