This report responds to a request ( 2023.IE1.11 ) to report back with a plan to implement a ban on use of two-stroke engine leaf blowers, lawnmowers and other small engine equipment because of their adverse impact on air quality and human health. To support consideration by City Council on implementing a potential ban on the use of two-stroke engines, a two-step decision making approach is being taken. This report outlines the first step, which is to seek Council direction on whether Council wishes to pursue a ban on two-stroke engines within Toronto. Subject to City Council direction and resourcing, and following consultation with residents and businesses, a second report would be brought forward to provide a detailed plan to establish, implement, enforce and encourage compliance with a ban, including a proposed bylaw. Previous reports brought to City Council have described the impact of two-stroke engine leaf blowers on climate, air quality and health, and noise. This report provides a compendium of the City's past decisions and activities on the topic of two-stroke engine equipment. Separately, staff have determined that each of the three approaches of climate, health and noise…

In response to Council direction (2023.DM6.5), this report proposes an approach, including necessary by-law amendments, to allow responsible personal consumption of alcohol in Toronto parks on a pilot program basis from August to October 2023. The pilot program design is based on public health guidance, public safety, operational considerations, and experiences from Canadian jurisdictions that recently implemented pilot programs. Information from Toronto Public Health is provided on the harm reduction, treatment and education programs available. The pilot will be evaluated to assess the impacts to park visitors and the surrounding community. The report recommends that staff report on the evaluation results in Q1 2024. The parks proposed for inclusion in this pilot were arrived at in three steps. First, staff led a data-driven, technical review and generated a list of parks meeting all or most of the technical selection criteria. Next, staff reviewed the list for each City ward to short-list the most suitable pilot parks from an operational perspective. Lastly, staff met with interested councillors, to discuss the pilot and park options in their wards, leveraging councillors' local…

This report is to request authority from the General Government Committee to amend Non-Competitive Blanket Contract Number 47024284 issued to Canadian Red Cross Society for the provision of emergency services, including emergency lodging; staff and volunteers to conduct initial contact, assessment and service delivery; and subcontractor costs for security. The Canadian Red Cross provides shelter services at a Toronto hotel site near the airport (hereafter referred to as “site”) for Ukrainian arrivals needing emergency shelter. The site currently has a block of 70 rooms. As of June 16, 2023 there are 181 individuals from 68 households at the Toronto hotel site. On April 25, 2022, the City of Toronto issued an Emergency Non-Competitive Blanket Contract 47024284 (NCPR #WS3559160342) to Canadian Red Cross Society for these services in the amount of $5,137,629 net of Harmonized Sales Tax for the period ending June 30, 2022. This contract was then amended to extend the term to December 31, 2022. To continue to support the Ukraine response, SSHA needs to amend and extend the non-competitive blanket contract to December 31, 2023. SSHA will review the program in third quarter a…

Refugees arriving in Canada deserve to be treated with dignity and require a safe roof over their heads. We are in a crisis. Toronto’s dedicated refugee shelter space is full. Toronto’s base shelter system is full. Each night, over 300 people are turned away from our shelter system and forced to find somewhere to spend the night. Over half of these people are refugees and refugee claimants. Toronto's shelter system accommodates nearly 9,000 people. Of that, more than 35 percent of the people in the system are refugees. On any given evening, upwards of 100 refugees and refugee claimants are waiting and sleeping outside the Streets to Homes Assessment and Referral Centre at 129 Peter Street. The situation is desperate. Recently, as part of her transition, Mayor Olivia Chow had the privilege of meeting with refugee serving organizations, frontline shelter workers and other civil society partners who shared information, needs and recommendations on actions for this crisis. The Mayor is grateful to the advocates for pushing all levels of Government to act. Mayor Olivia Chow, Deputy Mayor McKelvie, and Senior City Staff have worked with the Provincial and Federal Governments…

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 6 storey (32 metres) institutional building located on the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC) at 875 Morningside Avenue. While originally identified as 875 Morningside Avenue, the subject lands underwent a Municipal Address Change and are now municipally known as '840 Military Trail'. The proposed building is known as the 'Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health' (SAMIH) and will serve as a medical academy containing a total gross floor area of 9,543 square metres. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The development of the proposed institutional building will create a landmark building as part of the development of the University’s North Campus as provided for by the Official Plan and the draft UTSC Secondary Plan. Most significantly, the development provides a needed training facility for physicians and health care professionals that can connect to local health care institutions in Scarborough and the eastern Great…
