The vibrancy of Toronto’s main streets are dependent upon successful local businesses. Small restaurant, bookstore, clothing shop, and cafe owners give our neighbourhoods their unique character. Unfortunately, too many local businesses are under threat from unfair commercial rent hikes. Unlike residential rentals built before 2018, there is no rent control for small business owners. This lack of protection has resulted in neighbourhoods losing far too many of their favourite stores and restaurants in favour of chains that can afford higher rent. According to data from the Better Way Alliance, an Ontario-based network of employers, in Toronto, commercial retail rent increased by 20 percent between 2021-2023. This places significant pressure on many businesses, forcing many to shut down due to unsustainable increases as high as 20-100 percent. Based on a survey conducted by the Better Way Alliance, over half respondents indicated that rent represented more than 60 percent of their overall expenses. Beyond inflation commercial rent hikes not only affect current business owners but discourage new entrepreneurs from starting a business in the first place. Bar and restaurant owner…

Since October 2023, there has been an increase in protests and demonstrations across the world, and Toronto has been no exception. In March 2024, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw reported that Toronto has seen a 93 percent increase in hate crimes since October 7, 2023. A shocking 56 percent of incidents have been antisemitic and target Toronto’s Jewish minority – but there have also been increases in anti-LGBTQ hate, anti-Black hate, and anti-Arab, Muslim and Palestinian hate. At the October 2023 Council meeting, Council unanimously passed Mayor Chow’s motion 2023.MM11.37, “Keeping Toronto Safe from Hate.” This motion supported the creation of “community safety zones… inclusive of areas surrounding places of worship and cultural and religious daycares and schools recognized as a potential target for hate.” To date, no such zones have been created. Instead, demonstrations continue to occur close to and target such facilities, creating fear and distress for many Torontonians. This is why we ask the Province to urgently develop policy and legislation to create safety zones with a radius of 50 to 150 metres, modelled on the “bubb…

The openness of the City is something that we should rightfully take pride in. The City is routinely the most accessible, available, and transparent level of government. Much of this comes from the improvements and changes that past Council’s made to increase accountability. Recent events have highlighted the continued need for Council to continuously make improvements and changes to our processes in order to continue to meet our high standards. When considering requests for Council approval under the Members of Council Operations Policy the standard should be that receipts related to the requested reimbursement be provided publicly to assure the public that we’re making decisions with as much information as possible.
