In recognition of Toronto’s strong and diverse 2SLGBTQ+ communities, cultures, and histories, City staff were directed to engage with community advocacy groups, including Friends of Hanlan’s and Pride Toronto to develop ways to better safeguard 2SLGBTQ+ communities at Hanlan’s Point Beach. Hanlan’s Point Beach and its surrounding area are historically significant as a queer community hub and place of fellowship. As a part of the City’s ongoing work to recognize and celebrate these histories, staff in the City’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division have collaborated with Friends of Hanlan’s in conjunction with Pride Toronto and a donation in part by Waterfront BIA to propose a community funded permanent art installation by queer artist Travis Myers comprised of a 600-metre painted rainbow installation on Beach Road, near Hanlan’s Point Beach in Toronto Island Park. The in-kind donation will include the rainbow installation to be delivered by a contracted vendor. Resources for site preparation prior to installation are minimal and will be accommodated within the Parks, Forestry and Recreation’s operating budget. The Hanlan&rsq…

On November 27, 2023, the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) adopted a new Education Development Charges Bylaw that reinstated education development charges on missing middle housing forms like laneway suites and garden suites. As a result, households in the process of obtaining building permits for the purpose of constructing these housing forms are now being asked to pay ~$3,600 in development charges, despite previous guidance that none would be payable. The decision to reinstate education development charges on missing middle housing forms is counterintuitive to the City of Toronto’s goal to expand housing options in neighbourhoods, the Province of Ontario’s goal to rapidly increase the supply of housing, and our collective goal to increase housing affordability writ large. Therefore, this letter requests that the Province of Ontario amend the Education Act for the purpose of adding secondary dwelling units such as garden suites and laneway houses to the list of properties exempted from education development charges, thereby eliminating this gap in legislation.

North York General Hospital has been a cornerstone of Don Valley North and North York since it opened its doors in 1968. It has provided nearly five decades of exceptional health care and community care to an increasingly diverse population. Today, North York is home to a growing seniors' population and has the highest percentage of people age 65 and older in Toronto. To meet the rapidly growing need for seniors' health care, North York General Hospital is planning to build a new and modern long-term care home steps from the hospital at 4000 Leslie Street. They announced this plan as part of the overall infrastructure expansion they are pursuing in partnership with the Ontario Government. North York General Hospital's new long-term care home will be one of the largest in Ontario, if not Canada, and will offer the most advanced safety, infection prevention and control, and quality standards as one of the first home built post-pandemic. The home will offer a variety of seniors-focused health services and amenities for both residents and seniors in the surrounding neighbourhoods. North York General Hospital has been working closely with City Planning, the Ministry of Long-Term Care,…

On September 21, 2023, the Economic and Community Development Committee adopted EC6.9 - Incident and Operational Review of Serious Dog Attacks. The item included a letter from Councillor Paula Fletcher in response to a serious dog attack occurring on July 30, 2023. Staff were directed to review the specific incident, as well as procedures and processes of Toronto Animal Services (TAS) for the compliance and enforcement of Dangerous Dog Orders, including in the immediate aftermath of a serious dog attack. The Committee also requested staff review relevant Toronto Public Health (TPH) processes and procedures, as well as options to make dangerous dog charges known to the public. TAS within Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) investigates dangerous acts committed by a dog. TAS enforces requirements under Chapter 349, Animals (the Animals By-law), which requires owners to take reasonable precautions to prevent their dog from engaging in a dangerous act. The By-law also sets out criteria for when a Dangerous Dog Order may be issued and outlines associated conditions a dog owner must comply with. TAS may also commence proceedings under the provincial Dog Owners’ Liability Act (…

Multi-tenant houses (also known as rooming houses) are a critical component of the housing continuum and provide accommodation to diverse communities, including students, seniors, new immigrants, low-income residents, and people exiting homelessness. In recognition of the urgent need to protect this type of rental housing stock, in December, 2022, through Item 2023.CC2.1, City Council adopted the New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Houses (“Multi-Tenant Houses Framework”). The Multi-Tenant Houses Framework will come into effect on March 31, 2024, and includes: an updated city-wide zoning approach to permit multi-tenant houses in all areas of the city, subject to zone-specific requirements; a new licensing by-law; and a phased and collaborative approach to licensing and enforcement. The framework is rooted in a human rights-based approach to housing and its implementation will help the City adhere to its commitments under the Toronto Housing Charter – Opportunity for All. Specifically, implementation of the new framework will extend consistent regulation of multi-tenant houses across the City, with the aim that more homes are being maintained in a state of g…

As we mark the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the City of Toronto can provide additional support to the Ukrainian government and our Friendship City, Kyiv, for humanitarian purposes. During a recent meeting with Mr. Oleksandr Shevchenko, Consul General of Ukraine in Toronto, a request for assistance from the City of Toronto was made to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Kyiv. Since 1991, Toronto and Kyiv have been friendship cities, remaining in close contact, and celebrating our 30th anniversary of friendship in 2021. This motion provides authority for Fleet Services and Paramedic Services to donate up to five vehicles at end-of-life to Ukraine in 2024. These vehicles would add to the seven vehicles already provided to the Ukrainian government over the course of 2022 and 2023. The vehicles would be used to respond to emergency humanitarian situations in Ukraine.
