This report provides an update on the ConnectTO program, as directed by Executive Committee, including information on the installation and use of public Wi-Fi across the City to bridge the digital divide, and presents a framework for future site selection, as informed by research, data and public consultations. In 2021, the City of Toronto established the ConnectTO program, prioritizing its work to bridge the digital divide, as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to address the need for residents to equitably access digital government services. The digital divide, which remains a persistent reality in Toronto, is defined as the gap between those who have internet access, along with the skills, and support to effectively engage online, and those who do not. Approximately 2% of Torontonians, or 58,000 people, currently lack affordable in-home internet access. ConnectTO has successfully focused on expanding internet connectivity, growing the number of locations of public Wi-Fi from 100 sites exclusively in Toronto Public Library branches to a total of 252 locations across the City in various types of City facilities, with a focus on establishing sites in the City’s Neighbo…

In February 2025, the City of Toronto experienced a series of major winter storms that resulted in over 50 centimetres of snow across the city during three events spanning seven days. This was the largest snowfall accumulation for the City of Toronto since January 2022, which saw 55 cm of snowfall in a single event. The scale and impact of these back-to-back storms in 2025 impacted Toronto’s snow clearing and removal operations. As a result, City Council directed the City Manager to: A. Conduct a thorough review of the City’s winter maintenance program, evaluate options to improve winter maintenance work and; B. Undertake a forensic audit of the procurement for the 2022-2029 winter snow removal contract. To undertake this work, the City Manager engaged the services of Municipal VU Consulting Incorporated (MVU) to complete an independent review of the City’s Winter Maintenance Program as well as Transportation Services’ response during the February 2025 Extreme Weather Events (Attachment 1). The City Manager also directed the Internal Audit Division to undertake a risk assessment audit of the procurement for the 2022 to 2029 winter snow removal contracts (At…

Two-Thirds required - EX25.5 - Burnside - End the debate
This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 13-storey (52.7 metres, excluding the mechanical penthouse) building containing a 378 bed long-term care facility, an ambulance depot, medical offices and other ancillary uses at 4610 Finch Avenue East. The building would result in a total gross floor area of 40,020 square metres. Vehicular parking will be contained in the second and third level of the building. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City’s Official Plan. This proposal responds to the urgent need for long-term care services in the City of Toronto by providing the proposed uses in an appropriately scaled development activating an underutilized City-owned site.

Majority required - SC24.1 - Adopt the item
As part of the City's 2022-2026 Housing Action Plan, which seeks to increase the supply of housing within complete, inclusive, and sustainable communities with critical infrastructure to support growth, City Council decided in May 2024 to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit townhouses and small-scale apartment buildings along major streets in Neighbourhoods areas across the City. The Zoning By-law Amendment implemented these permissions as-of-right in all residential zones across Toronto, and also implemented appropriate performance standards. Following City Council's adoption of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments, both were appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. The Ontario Land Tribunal has conducted two Case Management Conferences, and has scheduled a hearing of the appeal for five days, commencing on November 3, 2025. The City Solicitor requires further directions for the upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearing. City Council's consideration of this matter should not be deferred beyond the conclusion of the July 23 to 25, 2025 meeting of City Council, because there are significant procedural deadlines, including the exchange of witness statements, tha…

This report presents the findings of the Garden Suites Monitoring Program and recommends modifications to the Official Plan policies and Zoning By-law permissions for garden suites to further support the effective implementation of garden suites in Toronto and to align Zoning By-law 569-2013 with recent provincial regulatory changes. This report also encourages continuing City efforts to improve communications, processes, and application status tracking related to garden suites. A “garden suite” is a detached, self-contained ancillary living accommodation permitted on properties in residential zones in Toronto. Garden suites are usually located in the rear yard of properties and are generally smaller than the main house on the lot. Unlike laneway suites, a garden suite does not abut a public laneway. With the guiding principles of both “garden” and “suite”, garden suites are intended to provide an additional form of low-rise housing and increase housing supply within Neighbourhoods, while maintaining the natural environment, urban forest tree canopy, and soft landscaped character in rear yards. Garden suites also provide additional housing optio…

Majority required - PH23.1 - Perks - motion 1
Scarborough has long offered families from across the world affordable homes and housing options that met their needs, regardless of income or size. Today, those opportunities are increasingly out of reach—in Scarborough and across Toronto - due to rising costs that disincentivize the development of the types of comfortable and multigenerational homes we can build. Currently, all multiplex developments in Toronto that are four units and under are exempt from parkland fees and development charges. This motion seeks to provide the same incentive for the first four units contained in larger developments of up to six units. This motion also directs the Chief Planner to consider permitting permeable paving options that suit suburban wards that receive windrow-clearing services as a component of the soft landscaping requirements to further make building these homes more affordable for our families.
