World Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February, after United Nations General Assembly designation in 2010. The General Assembly pointed out that "mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith." All around the world, organizations and individuals host events during the first week of February to help neighbours of different faiths get to know each other and build a foundation for more peaceful and friendly communities. Recognizing the imperative need for dialogue among different faiths and religions to enhance mutual understanding, harmony and cooperation among people, the General Assembly encourages all member States to spread the message of interfaith harmony and goodwill in the world’s churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and other places of worship during that week, on a voluntary basis and according to their own religious traditions or convictions. According to the Parliament of World Religions, "all around the world, organizations and individuals host…

The New York City Mayoral Declaration on Addressing Hate, Extremism and Polarisation was signed at Strong Cities Network Fourth Global Summit on September 23, 2023. Over 100 mayors from around the world endorsed this commitment to fight hate. The list of mayors supporting the declaration include Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. Mayors from Kitchener, Montreal and Victoria were among the signatories. The declaration enumerates a series of practical steps that mayors commit to take at home to address threats while promoting human rights. Consistent with the Strong Cities mission, the declaration includes a commitment to continue to share with and learn from each other in addressing these challenges. With Toronto perhaps the most diverse city in the world it has a grave responsibility to promote social cohesion and fight hate in all its forms. Signatories to the declaration recognize "that unlocking the potential of city-led action in addressing hate, extremism and polarisation can make an immediate and sustainable diference to the peace and security of local communities and contribute to global efforts to strengthen social cohesion, promote stability and prevent conflict."

It has been brought to my attention that there have been recent complaints made to the City about the Etobicoke Coat of Arms displayed in the Etobicoke Civic Centre as being offensive or racist. There is a Coat of Arms prominently displayed in the Community Council Chamber, and another in the Committee Room. The Coat of Arms was used on the official seal of the former City of Etobicoke and has been used extensively from 1977 to amalgamation in 1998, both in physical form and on numerous documents and mediums. It is recognized and highly regarded by many. I believe that it is important that City Council and the public be made aware of the status of these complaints, and that Council receive information about the Coat of Arms.

The WELRT will also provide improved transit options to the Central Waterfront, Lower Yonge, East Bayfront, Quayside, Keating Precinct, Lower Don Lands, and the Port Lands communities and is an integral part of the future development of new communities on Villiers Island and the eastern waterfront.

Toronto's Sign By-law is a harmonized, City-wide set of regulations governing signs which was adopted in 2010. The Sign By-law contains a process for any member of the public to apply to City Council to amend the Sign By-law to implement significant changes to the sign regulations for a specific property or area. Applications are commonly made requesting amendments to the Sign By-law to allow signs that are prohibited, to remove permissions for signs in an area, or to modify the administrative requirements of the Sign By-law. The Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, ("CBO") brings applications to amend the Sign By-law together on an annual basis for City Council consideration, so that that City Council can more easily assess the overall and cumulative impact of these applications on the city's built environment, and the Sign By-law itself. Sanford Outdoor Inc. (the "Applicant") is requesting an amendment to the Sign By-law (the "Proposed Amendment") to both redesignate a portion of the property municipally known as 195 Galaxy Boulevard (the Royal Woodbine Golf Club) from an Open Space ("OS") Sign District to an Employment ("E") Sign District, for purpo…

In March 2022, the Toronto Community Crisis Service launched a 24/7 service to provide a community-based, client centred, trauma-informed, non-police led response to people experiencing mental health crisis and wellness checks. In its first year of operations the Toronto Community Crisis Service received 6,827 calls for service, with 78 per cent of calls transferred from 911 successfully resolved without police involvement. Data from the Toronto Community Crisis Service's one-year evaluation demonstrates that 95 per cent of clients were satisfied or very satisfied with the service they received and 90 per cent indicated that it positively impacted their perception of community safety and wellbeing. In year one, community crisis teams completed 2,936 post-crisis follow up interactions and connected 1,160 service users to ongoing case management supports. The Toronto Community Crisis Service provides access to ground-breaking transformative care in 64 per cent of all Toronto wards. If approved by Council, the service will be expanded city-wide in 2024 to become the fourth municipal emergency service in Toronto, alongside Toronto Fire Services, Toronto Paramedic Services, and the Tor…
