The Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, launched with overwhelming support from local businesses and the Church Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area aims to transform Church Street into a vibrant, car-free community space. A core focus of this pilot is improving street-level accessibility along a corridor where many older storefronts are physically inaccessible due to steps and barriers. By closing the street to vehicles, an unobstructed emergency lane will run down the centre lanes to serve as the primary pedestrian walkway and sidewalk. Local businesses are enthusiastically extending their outdoor patios directly onto the curblane, creating new, seamless access points for visitors. To guarantee safe navigation, each patio will maintain a strict one-meter clearance zone, ensuring an entirely unobstructed path for mobility devices, wheelchairs, and emergency personnel. This motion will provide the General Manager, Transportation Services additional authority to make real-time adjustments to traffic management and allow a flexible, adaptive approach to optimize a highly accessible streetscape that fully supports the community and local economy. This motion is urgent as th…

Toronto’s Peace Garden was originally established in 1984, as a physical expression of the City’s commitment to peace, and opposition to nuclear warfare. The symbolism of the garden is informed by the context of its creation at the height of the Cold War. The garden’s gazebo represents community and civilization, the vulnerability of which is manifested in its incomplete roof. Central to the garden is the eternal flame, kindled in Hiroshima, which is surrounded by waters from Nagasaki – serving as a memorial, and a message to future generations about the need for ongoing work and commitment to build and maintain peace among each other, and across the world. The creation of this space was highly consequential. Then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau attended the site on March 5th, 1984, to turn the first sod on the project on the City’s 150th anniversary. The eternal flame was lit later that year by Pope John Paul II, who also poured waters from Nagasaki into the garden’s pool. Queen Elizabeth II visited the site in October 1984 to formally dedicate the Peace Garden as an expression of Torontonian’s commitment to peace. Today, more than 40 years…

Rabbi Arthur Bielfeld served as Rabbi and Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Emanu-El for 58 years, and was well established as a community leader for his work in the City of Toronto. Rabbi Bielfeld was known for his commitment to social justice, advocating compassionately on issues of poverty, hunger and peace, and for his contributions to interfaith projects and community building initiatives. For his efforts, Rabbie Bielfeld was awarded the Order of Canada in 2013. As a faith leader and community builder, Rabbi Bielfeld has left a profound impact on the lives of those he supported. His work will live on through the congregants of Temple Emanu-El, and through the numerous organizations whose missions he helped advance as a founding contributor including the Leo Baeck Day School, MAZON Canada – a Jewish response to Hunger, KOLEL – The Adult Centre for Jewish Liberal Learning, and The Campaign Against Child poverty. Rabbi Bielfeld’s passing earlier this year was a significant loss for Don Valley West, and Toronto as a whole. His contributions to the betterment of our City deserve recognition, and work to determine the form of commemoration should be undertaken in consultat…

Rogers Stadium is an open air music venue that sits on the north end of the old Downsview Airport runway. It opened in June 2025 and was built by way of temporary zoning permissions. The venue attracted about 700,000 visitors in 2025 and is expected to attract over 1 million visitors in 2026. The economic benefit to the City includes the hiring of over 1,000 part time employees, procurement and economic activity to local businesses, music grants and scholarships to local schools and benefits to Toronto’s tourism industry. The stadium aligns with provincial live music polices and guidelines which can be found at https://www.ontario.ca/document/vision-ontarios-live-music-industry/local-music-scenes and the City of Toronto Live Music Strategy https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/90a2-2022-2026EDCBrandedMusic-StrategyC5-test.pdf Despite these advantages, many residents in York Centre, Willowdale and the City of Vaughan have raised serious concerns about the noise levels on concert nights. While noise can be a factor of wind direction, velocity and cloud cover, it is also a factor of amplification and bass driven musical scores. Capital improvements and operational m…

An Application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for 75-81 Billy Bishop Way (the "Subject Lands") was submitted to the City, and after satisfying the City's minimum application requirements was deemed complete on July 21, 2025. The Application seeks to permit a mixed-use development comprised of 5 tall buildings ranging in height from 21-storeys (83.6 metres) to 49-storeys (164.1 metres), organized within three building blocks that include 6-storey base buildings, and containing 2,055 dwelling units (the "Proposal"). The Proposal includes 149,161 square metres of residential gross floor area; 2,493 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, including a child care centre; and a centralized privately-owned public space. On March 24, 2026, the applicant appealed the Proposal to the Ontario Land Tribunal citing Council’s failure to make a decision within the timeframe specific by the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference with the Ontario Land Tribunal has been scheduled for June 18. 2026. This Report recommends that City Council instruct the City Solicitor, with the appropriate City Staff, to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal Hearing to oppose the Proposal…
