Toronto should be a place where everyone feels welcome and safe. This summer, our city is going to welcome thousands of visitors from across the globe to participate in the FIFA World Cup, which should be a time to celebrate everything that brings us together. As a city that is rightly proud of our diversity, I know that residents will also be sharing their love for the many countries that remain in the hearts of our communities here and form a sense of identity and pride for hundreds of thousands of Torontonians. Residents and visitors should be able to enjoy our city without fear. Unfortunately, the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has cast doubt on the ability of many to visit or live in the United States and beyond safely. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has demonstrated through their actions in Minnesota and across the U.S. that they bring fear and disorder, not safety and security. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is known to operate beyond American borders, including at times within Canada. Any presence of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Toronto is liable to create fear during a time when we want to welcome the world and ensur…

The purpose of this report is to obtain Council authority to enter into renewals of existing lease and sublease agreements for up to 20-years between the City of Toronto (the “City”) and twenty-four individual boat clubs listed in Appendix B to the report (referred to collectively as the "Tenants"), in respect of certain properties located across Toronto’s waterfront, for the purpose of the Tenants’ continued operation of boat clubs. The long-term boat club lease portfolio consisting of 28 non-profit, volunteer-run sailing, boating and rowing clubs, has supported a thriving sailing, boating and rowing community in the City’s waterfront and shoreline parklands. Boat clubs have contributed and invested in infrastructure that help facilitate programs and services for the community and waterfront and shoreline upkeep, and have contributed to the local economy through operating expenditures, employment, and tourism-related activity. The recommended renewals of the City’s boat club leases is a continuation of decades of the City’s support for affordable access to waterfront programming, community activation, environmental stewardship and associa…

On February 5, 1981, 309 people were arrested in the Bathhouse Raids, a landmark moment in Canada’s 2SLGBTQ+ civil rights movement. 200 police officers — some with crowbars and sledgehammers — raided the Barracks, the Club, Richmond Street Health Emporium, and Romans II Health and Recreation Spa, arresting owners, staff, and guests. Officers used violence and homophobic insults during the raids, which were the largest mass arrest in the city’s history at the time. The men who were arrested were criminally charged with operating or visiting a “bawdy house”, a place defined by law as housing “acts of indecency.” At the time, gay people faced prejudice and discrimination in Canada. Being publicly outed could mean loss of employment, damage to personal relationships, or other serious consequences. In response, the gay community — with allies including feminist and Black activists, labour organizations, and civil liberties groups — rallied protests. On February 6, 1981, 3,000 people marched on Toronto Police 52 Division and Queen’s Park. Former Toronto mayor John Sewell and community leaders like George Hislop (who was a…

Toronto is getting new, faster, higher capacity, electric ferries to make the trip to Toronto Island Park even better. A naming process for the two new ferries entering service in 2027 is underway. A shortlist of names is being put to a public vote, with a decision coming in May 2026. This process is considering non-commemorative names. This motion requests staff to report back on a commemorative naming process for future ferries purchased by the City of Toronto.

Chinatown is an important part of Toronto's cultural landscape, serving people across Toronto and attracting large numbers of visitors, both tourists and local residents. Toronto’s first Chinatown was largely displaced through expropriation for today’s City Hall. Many displaced residents and businesses moved to what is now Toronto’s West Chinatown, centred on Dundas Street between McCaul and Spadina and on Spadina Avenue between College and Queen. This area is home to the highest concentration of Chinatown societies and legacy businesses that originate from the Canadian Chinese Exclusion Act and head tax era. Chinatown later evolved with major waves of immigration from Southeast Asia, including Indochinese Designated Class refugees. Today, many diasporic East and Southeast Asian Toronto subcultures make their home in Chinatown - creating a distinct Chinatown identity and Asian-Canadian cultural experience found nowhere else. Many local Chinese and Indochinese-owned and -operated businesses in Chinatown are fighting a battle against the potential loss of the character, identity and roots of their neighbourhood. As owners age, commercial and residential rents rise,…

The Rebuilding Ontario Place Act (ROPA) will have significant implications for Toronto, and we have one last opportunity to fight it at the Supreme Court. This is not just about saving our waterfront. It’s about protecting the rule of law in our city and province. This legislation is a direct threat to our democracy – stripping away the public’s rights, eliminating transparency, and shielding government decisions from legal accountability. The Rebuilding Ontario Place Act immunizes the government from any “remedy in contract, restitution, tort, misfeasance, bad faith, trust or fiduciary obligation, any equitable remedy or any remedy under any statute”. This is part of a larger pattern of the Ford government protecting itself from accountability for the decisions that they make which benefit themselves and their friends contrary to the public interest. The Rebuilding Ontario Place Ac also exempts the government from any responsibilities under the Environmental Assessment Act, which many suspect would reveal catastrophic impacts not only on the natural environment but also on infrastructure and traffic. For years, Doug Ford has been testing the boundari…
