In March 2026, the provincial government announced its intention to introduce legislation to seize the City of Toronto’s land and other rights in the Toronto Island Billy Bishop Airport, in order to create a jet airport that could handle 10 million flights a year. Bill 110, Building Billy Bishop Airport Act, 2026 was introduced in the Ontario Legislature on April 23. The exact plan for the jet airport is unclear, but current evidence suggests it could have transformative impacts on Toronto, many of them conflicting with city objectives and initiatives. The jet airport plan could mean, for example: multiplying the number of flights from the airport; worsening downtown and waterfront noise, traffic and congestion; turning all or part of Little Norway Park into a parking lot; closing all or part of Hanlan’s Point and its clothing optional beach; shutting the Hanlan’s Point ferry dock; increasing cancer rates for those living near the airport through toxic air pollution; increasing water pollution in the Toronto Harbour by reducing natural flushing; eliminating or reducing recreational boating in the Toronto Harbour due to runway construction, a larger marine exclusi…

Toronto Island is one of our most important destination parks, with 1.5 million annual visitors. The ferry service operates year-round, bringing passengers from across Toronto and the world. In 2027, two new faster, higher capacity ferries will enter service, making the trip to the Island faster and easier. Along with improvements to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, and implementation of the Toronto Island Park Plan, we have prioritized making access to and on the Island even better. With the transition of Ferry Fleet management and the Ferry Terminal and docks to Fleet Services in late 2025, there is a new focus on structuring the ferry system as a complete transportation system. And with increasing numbers of visitors expected to Toronto Island as we develop it as a year-round destination, this is the time to examine how an efficient and equitable fare structure should be implemented. Increasing access to Toronto Island with updated ticketing options including discounted fares that have long been implemented through other transportation systems like the Toronto Transit Commission should be reviewed. It is also time to examine alternate ticketing options without fees that can meet…

The Applicant applied to the North York District Committee of Adjustment (the “Committee”) to permit minor variances to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 to facilitate a proposed development at the property municipally known as 5 Sulkara Court, (Application No. A0497/25NY) (the “Application”). The Application is brought by the property owner and proposes to construct a new detached one-storey dwelling with a basement walkout. On April 16, 2026, the Committee refused the Application. A copy of the Committee's decision is attached to this motion. The Applicant has appealed the Committee’s refusal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body (File 26 155472 S45 16 TLAB) (the “Appeal”).

This motion requests that the Province of Ontario amend Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program rules to allow individuals without a fixed address to retain and save their shelter allowance, so it can be used to help secure housing. Ontario continues to experience rising levels of homelessness, placing increasing pressure on shelters, hospitals, and other emergency services. Many individuals receiving Ontario Works or ODSP remain unable to transition into housing due to upfront costs such as first and last month’s rent. Under current rules, individuals without a fixed address are not eligible to receive the shelter portion of their social assistance benefits. As a result, they are unable to accumulate funds that could otherwise be used to secure housing. This creates a cycle in which individuals remain in shelters or temporary accommodations because they cannot save enough to move into stable housing. Allowing individuals to retain and save their shelter allowance would remove a clear barrier to exiting homelessness. This change would enable people to build toward securing housing without requiring new funding, by making more effective use of existing suppor…

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 26 storey building at 954, 956, 958 Broadview Avenue and 72 Chester Hill Road. A 14 storey building was previously approved at this site. The proposal would provide 309 dwelling units (including 8 affordable units), with a total gross floor area of 19,766 square metres including 100 square metres of non-residential space on the ground floor. A total of 81 vehicle parking spaces and 171 bicycle parking spaces are proposed. Elements of the previously approved development which have been maintained in the current proposal include the restoration of a heritage building, a new on-site public park next to Broadview Avenue, eight affordable ownership housing units and the naturalization and conveyance of lands at the rear of the site to the Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. The application represents appropriate intensification that is compatible with the existing and planned context within a Protected Major Transit Station Area (PMT…

Extreme heat and its impacts on human health is one of the City of Toronto’s most urgent climate hazards, now and for the future. As the City adapts, immediate measures are needed to address the health and safety risks for those most vulnerable to impacts of heat, such as older adults. In December 2025, staff reported to City Council on a series of strategies to protect Toronto residents against extreme heat, including an update on the Air Conditioner Assistance program. At that time, Council directed staff to consider avenues to enhance access to the City’s Hardship Fund. The City’s Hardship Fund assists with the cost of certain medically based items/services, including cooling devices (air conditioners), for low-income Toronto residents who are not receiving assistance from Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program. By leveraging funds secured through the 2026 budget, and an additional $1,060,000 from the Corporate Extreme Weather Reserve, this report recommends expanding and harmonizing air conditioner benefits across the City’s various program offerings to low-income and vulnerable residents, including applicants to the City’s Hardsh…
