The City of Toronto generates more than 20 percent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product and 50 percent of Ontario’s Gross Domestic Product. Despite our economic strength and contribution, we find ourselves consistently short on resources to fulfill our potential as a world-class city. As the largest city in Canada and the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto has unique challenges and responsibilities that cannot be adequately supported by an operational budget that is primarily built on property taxes. As we advocate for a new fiscal framework or a “new deal”, we can learn from world-class cities around the globe. A jurisdictional scan of fiscal frameworks can help us strengthen our advocacy for the support of higher levels of government towards a more robust budget for the city of Toronto.

It’s been a long time coming and we are ready for it. As we know all too well, Taylor Swift is coming to Toronto for a fortnight for the Eras Tour. Swifties will shake it off at six concerts this November and it is an opportunity for Toronto to show off our great reputation and our place in this world. After Taylor Swift makes sparks fly and the whole place shimmer at the Rogers Centre in a concert that Swifties will remember forever and always, fans will need to calm down and walk along the honorary “Taylor Swift Way” to have their photos taken with the Toronto signs seven letters lit red in her honour. It’s our way to show Taylor she’s the one we’ve been waiting for, that she has brought us much happiness and that we will love her evermore.

The purpose of this report is to respond to City Council direction that the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, in consultation with the Fire Chief and General Manager, Fire Services, engage a Building Code Consultant to study the feasibility of supporting a single means of exiting multi-residential buildings of up to four storeys, including additional life safety and other measures which would meet the objectives and intent of the Ontario Building Code. Exits are a fundamental and essential component of a building's fire and life safety system. Some designers and others have advocated that the Ontario Building Code threshold for requiring a second exit stair in small multi-unit residential buildings is too high compared to other jurisdictions in North America, Europe and around the world. They suggest that a single exit staircase would support innovation in the design and construction of higher density small multi-unit buildings on constrained sites in higher density urban areas resulting in more missing middle housing. Building regulators and emergency responders have identified that there are potential impacts on safety that need to be considered i…

The Province of Ontario's Subway Program, being delivered by Metrolinx, is a significant transit expansion project within the City of Toronto. The Subway Program consists of the Ontario Line, Scarborough Subway Extension, Eglinton Crosstown West Extension, and Yonge North Subway Extension projects. In February 2020, the Province and the City negotiated a Preliminary Agreement (PA) for the Subway Program, amongst other matters. The PA outlined high-level roles and responsibilities of the City and Province in the planning, delivery, and operations of the Subway Program. As the Province continues to advance the Subway Program, through its delivery agent Metrolinx, there is a need to develop and execute a Subway Agreement-in-Principle (AIP) that enhances the principles outlined within the PA to further guide the ongoing design and delivery of the Subway Program. Negotiations on the Subway Program AIP are ongoing and will conclude imminently. As such, the purpose of this report is to note that City staff will provide a supplementary report with the details on the outcome of negotiations as soon as possible. The supplementary report to Executive Committee will provide an update on four…

The housing affordability crisis continues to impact residents across the housing continuum. While the City of Toronto has taken significant steps to address the crisis -- including making record financial investments, implementing a wide range of new policies, programs and initiatives, and improving its processes and administrative structure -- continued urgent action is needed. In recognition of the need for heightened action to improve housing outcomes for residents, in September 2023, City Council adopted Item EX7.2 - "Urgently Building More Affordable Homes", and directed the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services, among other things, to create a plan, implementation framework and timeline to achieve 25,000 new rent-controlled homes, in addition to the City's previous HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (HousingTO Plan) target of 40,000 affordable rental homes. In November 2023, City Council approved Item EX9.3 – “Generational Transformation of Toronto’s Housing System to Urgently Build More Affordable Homes " which set a new housing target of 65,000 rent-controlled homes, including a minimum of 41,000 affordable rental homes and 6,500 rent-geared-…
