This term may be extended beyond the end of December to allow for the appointment of a successor.
\r\n\r\n
The Youth Poet Laureate Program was initiated at the recommendation of the Toronto Youth Cabinet in November 2023 to recognize and celebrate their 25th Anniversary. The Youth Poet Laureate will serve as a literary ambassador for young people across Toronto, working to elevate the status of poetry, language, and young writers by inspiring and engaging youth to share their stories through written and spoken word.
\r\n\r\n
Shahaddah Jack, a 20-year-old bilingual spoken word poet and activist, uses her poetic lens to explore human rights, the Black experience, and the challenges of adolescence. Shahaddah has performed on over 100 stages, including events such as the Toronto International Festival of Authors and Nuit Blanche, and she recently released both her debut novel and single. She has been recommended for appointment following a competitive process adjudicated by the City's current Poet Laureate, Lillian Allen, and representatives from the Toronto Youth Cabinet.

The Diversity Youth Fellowship Evaluation recommends that going forward, the duration of placements may be increased along with enhanced compensation rates. This may lead to future financial implications for the City since co-funding from the Urban Alliance on Race Relations is through their fund-raising efforts.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has been advised of the financial impacts associated with this program to be considered along with other priorities in 2025 and future budget processes.

\r\n\r\n
The Diversity Youth Fellowship is a leadership and career development program for young people 18 to 29 years old from equity-deserving communities to gain hands-on experience working with Toronto's elected officials at City Hall. The Fellowship includes training, mentorship, placements in Council Members’ offices and financial support to undertake a community project. The program currently serves approximately 30 youth annually. The program began in 2018 as the Muslim Youth Fellowship in partnership with the Urban Alliance on Race Relations. The Fellowship has since expanded to include the Black Youth Fellowship, Tamil Youth Fellowship, Filipino Youth Fellowship and Chinese Youth fellowship. The program ensures 50 percent of the fellows are women or identify as women. The Fellowship provides equitable access to opportunities for equity-deserving communities by supporting young people with career navigation, job experience and professional network development. It amplifies the experiences and needs of equity-deserving communities in municipal decision-making spaces and ultimately, enhances representation in municipal government and politics.
\r\n\r\n
Moving forward, this report recommends enhancing the Diversity Youth Fellowship with a Newcomer Youth Cohort, and the implementation of an Indigenous Youth Fellowship beginning in 2025 in partnership with Eshkiniigjik Naandwechigegamig – A place for healing our youth Aabiish Gaa Binjibaaying? – Where did we come from? -Youth Program, known as ENAGB Indigenous Youth Agency.

2. Request the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit, Social Development, Finance and Administration to invite relevant City divisions and agencies, including the Toronto Police Service and Toronto Community Housing Corporation to present their existing anti-Black racism initiatives and work to consider and adopt findings in the From Impact to Action: Final report on anti-Black racism by the Toronto Police Service.

Summary from the letter (August 19, 2024) from Walied Khogali Ali, Member, Confronting Anti-Black Racism Advisory Committee:
\r\n\r\n
The motion I am proposing is centered on a review of the From Impact to Action report by the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC). This report critically explores anti-Black racism within the Toronto Police Service (TPS) and offers a range of recommendations aimed at addressing systemic challenges. Given the importance of these findings, I believe it would be highly beneficial for our committee to invite a representative from the OHRC to present on the recommendations enclosed in the report.
\r\n\r\n
In addition to examining anti-Black racism at Toronto Police Services (TPS), this report highlights ways anti-Black racism is impacting Black Torontonians living in Toronto Community Housing (TCHC). As City agencies, it is important for the Committee to better understand anti-Black racism issues within these agencies to provide relevant recommendations and advice to City Council to enhance the experience and delivery of critical public services.
\r\n\r\n
Furthermore, to understand the progress made toward advancing these recommendations, I think it is important for the Committee to receive an update directly from the City agencies identified in the report.
\r\n\r\n
I believe this presentation will provide our committee with valuable insights into the progress made thus far, and highlight areas where further strategic action is needed, to continue to advance the Committee’s mandate.

Summary from the report (July 17, 2024) fromthe Ombudsman on Ombudsman Toronto Housing Unit Status Report 2024.
\r\n\r\n
Pursuant to section 170(2) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006 (COTA), the purpose of this report is to provide City Council with a status report describing the activities of Ombudsman Toronto’s Housing Unit since its creation in July 2023. In less than a year, the Housing Unit has been fully staffed, developed its infrastructure, launched two investigations, provided consultations to City staff, and met with more than 170 people through their engagement work. Notably, the Housing Unit has also developed a framework that uses the concept of housing as a human right to guide their investigations, the first of its kind for an Ombudsman organization in Canada.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"City Council on June 26 and 27, 2024, referred Motion MM19.32 to the Economic and Community Development Committee for consideration.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Toronto is well-known for our incredible food scene, and for our residents' long held and strong opinions for where to get their favourite dishes.
\r\n\r\n
In an effort to support our small businesses, Business Improvement Areas, and to encourage Torontonians in celebrating their favourite restaurants — the City should host the first ever Toronto International Pizza Festival.
\r\n\r\n
Our City has incredible street festivals and food-related events that draw hundreds of thousands of visitors to locations across Toronto in order to experience the culinary excellence of Toronto. With thousands of pizzerias and related restaurants this festival provides a unique opportunity to encourage Torontonians to support small and local businesses, while also giving residents the opportunity to promote the many traditional and unique styles of pizza that can be found across Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
The reason for urgency is to ensure that City staff has sufficient time to process this request by the September meeting of City Council.
