The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and the General Manager, Transportation Services recommend that:
\r\n
1. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, the General Manager, Transportation Services and the General Manager, Fleet Services to:
\r\n
a. Convene a Toronto Island Access and Inner Harbour Transportation Task Force for the purpose of actioning, accelerating and coordinating short- and medium-term Toronto Island access improvements and advancing due diligence related to long-term opportunities, including a fixed link, and inner harbour transportation.
\r\n\r\n
b. Request that senior leaders from Waterfront Toronto participate as standing members of the Toronto Island Access and Inner Harbour Task Force.
\r\n\r\n
c. Engage staff of the appropriate City divisions, as well as staff of CreateTO, Ports Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Harbourfront Centre.
\r\n\r\n
d. Consult, on a regular basis, with interested members of City Council, including the local Councillors.
\r\n\r\n
e. Consult, as appropriate, with users of the inner and outer harbours, including businesses that rely on shipping and boating, community organizations, and organizations that represent the recreational boating community.
\r\n\r\n
f. Undertake public engagement/consultation, including Indigenous engagement, as appropriate.
","financialImpactWep":"There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report. The staffing resources and external expertise needed to explore options and undertake the immediate due diligence would be supported by existing resources within divisional budgets.
\r\n\r\n
The analysis of fixed link options and other initiatives would require longer-term review, as well as community and stakeholder engagement. Future funding requirements to increase capacity in the areas of study development, planning, and divisional capital coordination beyond near-term due diligence, if determined necessary, would be identified and included through future reporting.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides a response to City Council’s direction to report on improved active transportation access to Toronto Island, including possibilities for a fixed link across the Eastern Gap. This report also responds to other directives related to moving visitors to and from Toronto Island Park, including opportunities to maximize the service of private water taxi operators and the exploration of a relief ferry vessel.
\r\n\r\n
The Toronto Island Park is a signature destination for residents and tourists, with over 1.5 million visitors taking the City’s ferries every year and approximately 485,000 trips taken by water taxi. On peak weekends and holidays in July and August, Toronto Island Park sees almost 18,000 visitors per day. In July 2024, Council approved the Toronto Island Master Plan (TIMP) which identified improved access to Toronto Island as a priority, and discussed opportunities for reducing economic barriers for accessing the island and expanding affordable programming and rentals park-wide.
\r\n\r\n
Since the TIMP was adopted, Council has provided staff with a number of directions related to access. Staff have been directed to undertake discussions with private water taxi operators to explore options for maximizing water taxi services to and from Toronto Island Park, and to understand and address barriers related to this goal. Through the Council decision on the award for the construction of new fully electric ferry vessels, Council also requested staff to explore opportunities to lease or retain relief vessels to provide additional service to and from Toronto Island while the new ferries are being procured. Taken together, these directives highlight the critical importance of aligning investments and agreements to facilitate improved access to Toronto Island Park.
\r\n\r\n
On the city side of the harbour, waterfront revitalization has, since 2001, created a number of new destinations from east-to-west, with more to come in the short- and long-term; Biidaasige Park, for example, will open in summer 2025. Further, tens of thousands of new residents are anticipated along the waterfront in the coming decades, particularly in the Port Lands. These changes also create opportunities and demands for new water transportation options. For example, people could have the ability to travel from Bathurst Quay to the Parliament Slip or Biidaasige Park; or they could be able to travel from any of these locations to and from Toronto Island Park. New water transportation options could be realized in both the short- and medium-term through the work underway to improve water taxi services and a proposed sea bus pilot.
\r\n\r\n
A fixed link over the Eastern Gap is another concept motivated by the popularity of the Toronto Island and the revitalization of the waterfront. It has been advocated over the years by some private architects, planners, and other individuals to complement waterfront revitalization. The Eastern Gap is the waterway separating Ward’s Island on the west side from the Port Lands on the east side (See Attachment 1). It is approximately 220 to 265 metres wide (See Attachment 2). Proposals have included different bridge concepts, a gondola or tunnel. Proponents note the popularity of similar structures in Toronto and around the world for their physical utility and tourist appeal. Council has directed staff to review proposals and consult with stakeholders regarding this concept, as part of the broader analysis and consultation regarding the goal of improving access to the Island.
\r\n\r\n
While conceptually appealing, a fixed link would face a number of constraints, which are described in this report. The constraints would not make a fixed link project impossible, but they do indicate that such a project would not be quick, simple or inexpensive. Further, a fixed link would not replace the need for planned short- and medium-term investments in Toronto Island access, many of which are underway now. A fixed-link should therefore be thought of as a potential long-term project, possibly to coincide with the future development of planned mixed-use precincts in the Port Lands, with the potential to complement, not replace, existing initiatives.
\r\n\r\n
Taking into the account the multiple initiatives underway and planned, staff, through this report, recommend the establishment of a Toronto Island Access and Inner Harbour Transportation Task Force. The Task Force would be convened by the City Planning Division (Waterfront Secretariat), working closely with Waterfront Toronto and the relevant City Divisions. The purpose of the Task Force would be to accelerate and coordinate the short- and medium-term Toronto Island access improvements that are currently underway, and advance due diligence related to long-term opportunities, such as a fixed link. While undertaking this work, alignment with the Waterfront Toronto 2020 Marine Use Strategy would allow for greater coordination between Agencies and Divisions all responsible for inner harbour transportation, particularly as visits and interest in waterfront destinations grow.
\r\n\r\n
The report reflects collaboration between City Planning, Parks and Recreation, Transportation Services, Engineering and Construction Services, Economic Development and Culture, and the City Manager’s Office. As recommended, these City divisions and agencies would continue to advance the ongoing improvements and longer-term due diligence as the Toronto Island Access and Inner Harbour Transportation Task Force through the implementation of marine transportation initiatives.
\r\n\r\n
Consistent with Council and Committee direction, consultations informing the analysis of a fixed link included Ports Toronto, CreateTO, Waterfront Toronto, and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). Stakeholder engagement has included the Toronto Industry Network, Redpath Sugar, Cinespace, the Passenger & Commercial Vessel Association and the Waterfront BIA. The team also spoke with individuals and organizations familiar with past fixed link concepts such as a bridge or gondola. Broader public consultation was considered to be a future work plan activity, should Council ultimately direct staff to proceed based on further due diligence.

\r\n\r\n
The over $4 billion in financial support that the Province of Ontario has previously committed to the City pursuant to the terms of the New Deal (CC13.2) exceeds the estimated land value of the proposed transactions.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact section.
","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's approval to execute components of the Ontario -Toronto New Deal related to the Province's priority transit projects as described in the New Deal Term Sheet. The Ontario - Toronto New Deal reached in November 2023 included an agreement between the City and the Province on a set of core commitments in exchange for over $4 billion in financial supports to the City. Council approved the terms of the Ontario - Toronto New Deal Working Group on December 13, 2023.
\r\n\r\n
With respect to advancing the delivery of the Province's priority transit projects, the New Deal Term Sheet includes a commitment for the City to \"expeditiously provide Metrolinx and the Province with the necessary properties and easements to advance construction of Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE), tunnels, elevated guideway and stations and to support Transit Oriented Communities (TOC) along the ECWE corridor\".
\r\n\r\n
In accordance with the New Deal Term Sheet, the Province has requested the transfer of the properties described in this report to support TOC Program along the ECWE corridor. As the estimated value of the total recommended land transaction of the TOC properties exceeds staff delegated authority, Council approval is required.

","financialImpactWep":"There are no financial impacts associated with this report. The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report provides an overview of Metrolinx’s construction plans for the Ontario Line Lower Don Bridge and the slope stabilization works at the Minton Place Portal, located within the Don Valley Crossing area. These works will involve temporary closures of the Don Valley Parkway, F.G. Gardiner Expressway, and Don Roadway at various stages between 2025 and 2027.
\r\n\r\n
The report outlines key construction activities, associated staging plans, and temporary lane closures required to safely and efficiently deliver these infrastructure works. While most temporary lane closures occur during overnight hours to minimize impacts, one full weekend closure of the Don Valley Parkway is required to facilitate the launch of the new bridge structure.
\r\n\r\n
In addition, the report requests City Council approval to amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 937, Temporary Closing of Highways, to provide a temporary delegation of authority to the General Manager, Transportation Services, to approve and implement temporary lane closures on the Don Valley Parkway and on the F.G. Gardiner Expressway for defined timeframes to support construction of the Ontario Line Lower Don Bridge and Minton Place Portal slope stabilization work.
\r\n\r\n
The report also seeks City Council approval to amend both Chapter 937 as well as City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 27, Council Procedures, in order to delegate to the General Manager, Transportation Services, the authority to temporarily close the Don Roadway for defined timeframes in support of the Ontario Line Lower Don Bridge construction.
\r\n\r\n
Together, these delegated authorities will support the timely delivery of the Ontario Line while enabling staff to respond to dynamic construction schedules, coordinate effectively with other major infrastructure projects, and minimize disruption to the public.

In July 2022, City Council adopted two reports from the AG, which focused on:
\r\n1) Enhancing the efficiency of 9-1-1 operations (AU13.5)
\r\n2) Supporting more effective responses to calls for service (AU13.6)
\r\n\r\n
In total, the AG posed 51 recommendations across the two reports to improve and modernize the TPS. Of these, 16 recommendations involved the City Manager's Office and other City Divisions, including Toronto Paramedic Services, Toronto Fire Services (TFS), Social Development, Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS), Customer Experience Division (CXD), and others.
\r\n\r\n
As directed by Council, the Deputy City Manager, Community and Social Services (DCM-CSS) has played a key role in coordinating collaboration among TPS and relevant City Divisions to advance AG recommendations, including co-development of status updates to Council. The first of these updates was adopted by Council in fall 2023 (see EX9.2).
\r\n\r\n
The City and TPS have continued to work closely to drive AG recommendations forward. A detailed update on each of the 16 shared AG recommendations can be found in Appendix 1 of this report. Pending Council approval, this update report will be forwarded to the Toronto Police Service Board, where it will be reviewed alongside a comprehensive update from the TPS on all 51 AG recommendations.
\r\n\r\n
As assessed in consultation with the City's Internal Audit Division, 13 of the 16 AG recommendations are in-progress (with seven near completion), two are implemented and ongoing, and one has not yet started.
\r\n\r\n
Key milestones achieved since the last report to Council include the city-wide expansion of the Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS), a key component of the City's Ten-year Community Safety & Well-being Plan (SafeTO) that has contributed to a marked decrease in ‘person in crisis calls’ to the TPS. Since launching in 2022, the TCCS has responded to more than 25,000 calls, provided more than 6,000 referrals, and connected more than 1,000 service users to wraparound case management supports, while maintaining a call diversion rate of 78% (proportion of 9-1-1 calls received by the Service and completed without police involvement).
\r\n\r\n
TPS and City Divisions have also collaborated to co-develop, launch, and evaluate 'Make the Right Call,' a multilingual, multimedia scenario-based campaign focused on educating the public about appropriate emergency and non-emergency responses. The campaign garnered more than 20,000,000 social media impressions, drove demonstrable increases in calls to the TPS non-emergency line and 2-1-1, and will return to market in June 2025 as an ‘evergreen' communications tool to continue influencing public awareness and behaviour change.
\r\n\r\n
The revived Non-emergency Call/Response Steering Committee (NECRSC), currently chaired by CXD with participation from TPS and City Divisions, has enabled the City to review and refine call diversion strategies and enhance information sharing. This includes new staff training, improvements to the 3-1-1 knowledge base to streamline call diversions, and a new warm transfer protocol between 3-1-1 and the TPS non-emergency line that ensures callers are connected to the appropriate organization.
\r\n\r\n
Regarding areas for continued collaboration, the 9-1-1 Committee continues to meet quarterly to support collaboration among TPS, TFS, and Paramedic Services. This includes ongoing preparation for migration of operations to Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1), which will improve interconnectivity and the efficiency of call transfers. TFS migrated onto the NG9-1-1 network in December 2023, the first municipal emergency service in Canada to do so, and both TPS and Paramedic Services will achieve migration by the end of 2025, well in advance of the March 2027 deadline set by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).
\r\n\r\n
As part of an overarching communications strategy, Social Development and SPEC will also be launching a new anti-stigma campaign in Q4 2025 to address public perceptions of people experiencing mental health crises, in consultation with TPS and community stakeholders.
\r\n\r\n
Overall, this report reflects that collaboration between the City and TPS remains strong, and will continue to advance the 16 AG recommendations. The next status update on AU13.5 and AU13.6 will be provided to City Council in 2027, following the cutoff date for migration to NG9-1-1 and in alignment with the next SafeTO implementation update.

","financialImpactWep":"This report provides an update on Phase 1 (2022-204) implementation of SafeTO: Toronto's 10-Year Community Safety and Well-Being Plan and outlines the priorities for Phase 2 implementation.
\r\n\r\n
The implementation of SafeTO Phase 1 (2022-2024) focused on building a strong foundation through key initiatives that have transformed how Toronto approaches community safety and well-being. Building on the achievements of Phase 1, Phase 2 focuses on additional priority actions from the current plan, which will be implemented within existing corporate resources (including staff) as well as requiring new investments, including partnerships with external agencies and other levels of Government.
\r\n\r\n
Since the SafeTO Plan was adopted in 2021, the City has invested over $60.6 million gross and $55.7 million net in community-led violence prevention and interruption programs and to build partnerships with community organizations delivering frontline services. This amount reflects direct investment and excludes administrative costs of the program. In addition, financial support from the Federal Government is essential to showcase the collaborative efforts behind the SafeTO implementation plan.
\r\n\r\n
Funding to sustain Phase 1 and begin implementing Phase 2 in 2025 is part of the 2025 Operating Budget for Social Development and includes funding of $6.8 million from the Federal Government through the Crime Prevention Grant and the Building Safer Communities Fund, which are set to expire by December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2026, respectively. SafeTO has been implemented using City resources as well as Federal grants. Efforts continue to take place to secure new sources of funding through inter-governmental engagement and seeking additional partners.
\r\n\r\n
Required funding to advance the four priority actions of Phase 2 SafeTO implementation, as outlined in Attachment 3: SafeTO Phase 2 Priority Actions, will be requested in the 2026 Budget and future Budget processes for consideration along with other City priorities, subject to the City's financial resource capacity.
\r\n\r\n
The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact section.
","agendaItemSummary":"Toronto consistently ranks among the safest cities in Canada and globally. However, this sense of safety is not experienced equitably across all communities. Disparities in violence, crime and well-being persist, especially in neighbourhoods and for populations facing socioeconomic pressures and systemic inequities. City Council and multiple agency partners have committed to respond to these concerns through SafeTO: Toronto's 10-Year Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (SafeTO).
\r\n\r\n
The following report provides an update on the outcomes of Phase 1 (2022-2024) implementation of SafeTO and outlines the priorities for Phase 2 (2025-2027) implementation. With over 90 per cent of the 26 actions identified in SafeTO completed or in-progress, the report highlights some of SafeTO's achievements and identifies actions that require a renewed focus for the City of Toronto and partners across all sectors and levels of government to build a safer, healthier and more resilient Toronto.
\r\n\r\n
The City developed SafeTO in response to provisions under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019, which required all Ontario municipalities to prepare and adopt a community safety and well-being plan by July 2021. Community advocacy on rethinking how public institutions respond to community violence significantly shaped the City's approach to these legislative requirements. As per O. Reg. 414/23 of the Act, municipal councils must review and, if appropriate, revise the plan four years after the day the plan was adopted and every four years thereafter. The City is required to complete its review of the plan before July 14, 2025.
\r\n\r\n
City Council unanimously adopted SafeTO in July 2021, introducing a fundamental shift in how Toronto addresses community safety, moving from reactive emergency responses to a culture of prevention. The plan also applies a public health approach to safety. It defines safety as more than just the absence of crime, emphasizing the need for protective factors like stable housing, accessible services, strong social connections and opportunities that allow children, youth, and families to thrive. By prioritizing a public health, data-informed, and people-centred approach, SafeTO aims to tackle the root causes of insecurity and violence to create lasting, transformative change.
\r\n\r\n
To bring this bold vision to life, SafeTO includes 26 actions across seven strategic goals that will be implemented through a phased approach. This approach was outlined in the SafeTO Implementation Plan, which was approved by City Council in February 2022.
\r\n\r\n
During Phase 1 (2022-2024) of SafeTO implementation, the City focused on four priority actions that resulted in the following achievements:
\r\n- The City launched the Toronto Community Crisis Service in 2022, establishing it as Toronto's fourth emergency service. Since its inception, the Toronto Community Crisis Service has responded to more than 25,000 mental health crisis calls, resolved 78 per cent of calls transferred from 911 without police involvement and in 2023, contributed to a 4.5 per cent decrease in mental health related 911 calls.
\r\n- The City established the Violence Prevention Toronto Office as a vehicle for multi-sector coordination with institutional partners, other levels of government and community partners to develop comprehensive violence reduction strategies. The Violence Prevention Toronto Office has organized Integrated Safety Coordination Teams in six geographic SafeTO Zones that have led to 60 multi-sector responses to violent incidents, including shootings and stabbings, and mobilized 70 interventions in response to emerging trends of community violence between April 2023 to January 2025.
\r\n- The City strengthened community crisis response protocols to better support victims and communities impacted by violence through the expansion of the Community Crisis Response Program to seven-day-per-week deployment across Toronto. From 2022 to 2024, the Community Crisis Response Program has responded to 1,844 critical incidents and achieving an 88 per cent response rate within 48 hours.
\r\n- The City launched the SafeTO Collaborative Analytics and Learning Environment, integrating key datasets across institutions to inform evidence-based policies. The SafeTO Collaborative Analytics and Learning Environment has enabled the development of the Toronto Transit Commission's Safety Dashboard, which tracks safety incidents and informs transit safety planning.
\r\n\r\n
Building on this foundation, Phase 2 implementation of SafeTO will sustain Phase 1 efforts and focus on the following four SafeTO priority actions from 2025 to 2027:
\r\n- Develop a comprehensive approach to address gender-based and intimate-partner violence, in partnership with City divisions and agencies, including the Toronto Police Service.
\r\n- Implement responses to Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
\r\n- Engage residents and build community capacity to lead safety initiatives.
\r\n- Strengthen multi-sector collaboration through partnerships and integrated investments.

The development project is an affordable housing project for 56 units under the City’s Open Door Affordable Housing Program. The complainant, the Canadian Helen Keller Centre (the “CHKC”), are of the opinion that they should be exempt from education development charges. The complainant asserts that education development charges in the amount of $184,408.00 should be refunded as this redevelopment was part of Toronto’s Rapid Housing Initiative and the following fees and charges have been waived or exempted:

\r\n\r\n
2. City Council direct the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to make available the final approved 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan as amended to the public via the City website and to distribute printed copies as requested.
","financialImpactWep":"Adoption of the recommended 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan does not result in immediate financial implications. However, ongoing compliance with the legislative requirements will result in the need for an additional investment in resources and functions corporately to establish an organization-wide practice of integrated asset management in support of a whole-of-government approach to asset management (AM) that will promote consistency and standardization of AM practices across the City.
\r\n\r\n
The City of Toronto has an expansive asset inventory that is aging and requires various types of interventions and levels of investment. In addition, the landscape for many industries and service sectors are experiencing significant changes and economic shifts. The SOGR infrastructure gap of $18 billion over the next 10 years identified through this analysis (with an additional $20 billion funding shortfall identified for service improvement and growth initiatives) is indicative of the financial constraint the City is experiencing to ensure long-term sustainability and viability of its services with limited funding availability and competing growth initiatives.
\r\n\r\n
Through the utilization of the City’s revenue tools, the 2025-2034 Capital Plan reflects the City’s largest ever investment in capital with $32.4 billion (54%) of the total $59.6 billion planned capital investments in renewal work to manage and maintain assets in a state of good repair over the next decade. The plan represents an increase of $6.0 billion (23%) in SOGR compared to last year’s 10-year Capital Plan of $26.4 billion.
\r\n\r\n
The Corporate Asset Management Plan will be integrated into the City’s annual budget process and capital prioritization framework as recommended through the Updated Long-Term Financial Plan. This will enhance existing prioritization processes and be used to make strategic decisions regarding the 10-Year Capital Plan, including both the funded and unfunded portions, during the City’s annual budget process. It will also allow Council to set strategic direction in the allocation of available capital funds using a consistent set of guiding principles, while considering overall affordability and capacity to deliver capital investments.
","agendaItemSummary":"This report presents the City of Toronto’s 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan for City Council's approval, in accordance with Ontario Regulation 588/17: Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure (the \"Regulation\") under the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act. The regulation was subsequently amended in March of 2021 under Ontario Regulation 193/21 to change the timing of reporting requirements under the Act. The report will address all municipal infrastructure assets reported through the Core Infrastructure Asset Management Plan approved by Council in November 2021, and the 2024 Corporate Asset Management Plan approved by Council in May 2024. The infrastructure assets contained in this report are categorized into 11 asset classes: amenities, collections, equipment, equipment & appurtenances, facilities, fleet, linear infrastructure, natural assets, point infrastructure, structures and systems.
\r\n\r\n
The 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan (AMP) encompasses 26 City Divisions, Agencies, and Corporations (DACs) that hold ownership and/or responsibility over City-owned municipal infrastructure assets, as defined by the regulation. Organized into 9 service areas and 26 subservices, the Corporate AMP exhibits the multitude of services provided by the City and demonstrates the relationship between service delivery and the assets that support those services. The AMP is based on the data, information, professional judgement, and expertise of the asset management teams and leads that reside within each area, in conjunction with the work and analysis conducted through the City’s annual Budget process and reflected in the 2025 Operating Budget and 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan.
\r\n\r\n
The City’s asset portfolio, within the scope of this AMP, has a current replacement value of $215 billion. In addition to the assets included in the 2024 Corporate AMP, the portfolio is inclusive of the 6 core infrastructure assets of water, wastewater, stormwater, roads, bridges and culverts included in the 2021 Core Infrastructure AMP. The overall performance distribution of the City’s in-scope assets is rated as ‘Fair’, indicating that, on average, City assets are fit for service and continue to perform at an acceptable standard. These assets are approaching the end of its service life and, as such, are likely performing at a higher operating cost where ongoing monitoring and maintenance may be required to sustain service levels.
\r\n\r\n
To proactively respond to aging infrastructure and growing renewal needs, the City has prioritized actions that result in the ‘flattening of the SOGR curve’ through increased renewal investments and prioritization as reflected in the City’s multi-year strategy to improve services and the day-to-day experiences of Toronto residents. These efforts reflect both an increase in SOGR investments as well as a resulting reduction to the previous $26 billion 10-year SOGR infrastructure gap, reflected in the 2024 Corporate AMP, to an estimated $18 billion renewal shortfall identified through the 2025 Corporate AMP where transit and housing renewals continue to be the main drivers. The City acknowledges that there is still further work to be done to improve the state of its infrastructure and ensure ongoing sustainability of services to the public. The overall reduction to the City’s estimated 10-year SOGR infrastructure gap is represented below in Chart 1.

","financialImpactWep":"This report seeks authority to amend the terms of the City loan agreement with Leaside, to ensure that loan prepayments employing excess revenues do not result in an operating deficit for Leaside, and to ensure consistent treatment with all Arena Boards, remove the requirement to add Leaside annual operating deficits to the principal balance of the City loan, effective January 1, 2025. This report also seeks authority to waive the requirement to add historical Leaside operating deficits to the principal balance of the City loan, for fiscal years 2018 through 2024 and settlement of the combined operating results for 2020, 2021 and 2022 based on their audited financial statement for those years ended December 31.
\r\n\r\n
As at December 31, 2024, principal balances of capital loans made to Leaside were as follows:
\r\n\r\n
- City of Toronto loan: $5,720,946.50; and
\r\n- Infrastructure Ontario (IO) loan: $503,646
\r\n\r\n
A payment schedule for the remaining loan balances, as at December 2, 2024, is provided in Appendix A.
\r\n\r\n
Leaside incurred operating deficits in 2018 ($3,604); 2020 ($210,258); and 2022 ($300,168), for a total of $514,030. If these deficit amounts were added to the principal balance of the City loan, it would increase to $6,234,976.50 as at December 31, 2024. It should be noted that during COVID, Leaside, as well as the other seven arena boards experienced incremental challenges as a result of the pandemic conditions.
\r\n\r\n
In removing the requirement to add annual Leaside operating deficits to the City loan principal balance, Leaside would not have the added financial burden of repaying increased loan amounts, together with accrued interest (4.6 percent per annum). It should be noted that none of the other seven Arena Boards and other agencies are required to repay the amount of their deficits to the City.
\r\n\r\n
However, in not adding the Leaside deficit amounts to the principal City loan balance, the City would be foregoing a potential future recovery of the deficit amounts.
\r\n\r\n
The settlement for Leaside for the years 2020, 2021 and 2022 will be combined, resulting in a net cumulative deficit of $315,114, which will not be added to the principal balance of the City loan to Leaside. The City will also not be paying the amount of the deficit to Leaside.
\r\n\r\n
Additionally, Leaside surpluses (know as \"excess revenues\" under the loan agreement), will also not be added to the principal balance of the City loan. Under the terms of the City loan agreement, excess revenues are first required to be deposited into the Leaside Memorial Debt Service Reserve Fund, established in support of Leaside's repayments of both the City and the IO loans. Once this reserve fund limit has been reached, Leaside may apply the remaining excess revenues as a prepayment of up to 15 percent of the loan principal outstanding on each loan in any year. Should any excess revenues remain, they will be payable to the City in accordance with the terms of the Arena Board Relationship Framework.
\r\n\r\n
The Leaside 2023 audited financial statements had only recently been finalized at the time of writing of this report and will be reported on in the near future.
","agendaItemSummary":"The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's approval of combined prior year settlement of operating results for the fiscal periods of 2020, 2021, and 2022 with Leaside Memorial Community Gardens (\"Leaside\"). Also, as a result of Council's recent adoption of amended City loan and loan guarantee policies, staff undertook a review of Leaside's existing loans, the outcome of which is a recommendation to amend the existing City capital loan arrangements for the Leaside second ice pad, which are supported by a tri-partite agreement between the City, Infrastructure Ontario, and Leaside.
\r\n\r\n
On an annual basis, the City of Toronto receives audited financial statements from eight Arena Boards of Management (Arena Boards). The audited financial statements assist the City in determining whether additional operating subsidy payments need to be provided to, or clawed back from, the Arena Boards to settle their operating deficits or surpluses. City staff report annually on the Arena Boards' operating surpluses and deficits once the respective Arena Boards' audited financial statements have been approved by Council. The audited financial statements are based on the Public Sector Accounting Board requirements for government not-for-profit entities, while the operating deficits or surpluses align with the modified cash basis of accounting.
\r\n\r\n
At its meeting on December 17, 2024, City Council approved prior-year settlements of all Arena Boards, except for Leaside, during the consideration of the settlement report (EX19.17). It was noted that the Leaside's 2020, 2021, and 2022 settlement was delayed due to late completion of its annual audits and would be submitted in a standalone report recommending amendments to the City capital loan agreement with Leaside and determining whether an operating surplus/deficit settlement would be rolled into the outstanding balance of the loan to build Leaside's second ice pad.
\r\n\r\n
Leaside is a City Arena Board, operated by the Leaside Arena Board of Management. In January 2012, Council authorized the construction of a second ice pad at Leaside, and entered into financing arrangements that included a $7.3 million capital loan from the City. The terms of the City loan include a requirement for Leaside to add the amount of its annual operating deficits to the principal of the City loan. No other Arena Boards are required to repay the amount of their operating deficits to the City.
\r\n\r\n
This report recommends amending the terms of the City loan agreement to ensure consistent treatment across all Arena Boards, removing the requirement for Leaside to add the amount of any future operating deficits to the principal City loan balance, and waiving the requirement to add the amount of its operating deficits from fiscal 2018 through 2024 to the principal City loan balance, with the exception being any annual deficit directly resulting from over or under payments on the City loan, with a prepayment resulting in a deficit being prohibited under the amended terms. The report also recommends combined settlement of operating surplus and deficits for 2020, 2021 and 2022 based on their audited financial statements for the years ended December 31.

\r\n\r\n
Further to carry forward adjustments, this report also recommends various acceleration and deferral adjustments to annual cash flows without any impact to approved total project costs; as well as an initial $39 million in increased City funding towards the Waterfront Revitalization Initiative, consistent with both Council direction and a tri-government initiative between City of Toronto, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Ontario, that will invest a total of $975 million to accelerate the delivery of Waterfront Toronto’s proposed Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization plan.
","agendaItemSummary":"As part of the 2025 Budget process, the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan included $1.438 billion of previously approved unspent funding for capital projects to be carried forward to 2025-2034. This carry forward amount was based on an initial estimate of projected spending available at the time of the budget development, which is prior to the 2024 year-end closing. With the 2024 fiscal year close in February 2025, City Programs and Agencies have finalized the 2024 actual project spending as well as the total carry-forward needed. The purpose of this report is to seek Council's approval for an additional $250.3 million in carry-forward funding for the 2025-2034 period.
\r\n\r\n
With the incremental carry-forward request, the total capital carry-forward funding from 2024 to the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan will be $1.689 billion, and the total adjusted 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Capital Budget including previously approved carry forward amount will be $6.098 billion. The revised total carry-forward funding is equivalent to 27.7% of the total 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Capital Budget.
\r\n\r\n
This report also brings forward in-year capital budget adjustment requests for previously approved budget and future year commitments, taking into account the recommended incremental carry-forward. Approval of these requests is needed to provide the necessary spending authority to continue with capital project delivery.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"I am pleased to introduce the report from the FCM Board of Directors meeting held in March 2025. This report provides crucial updates on FCM's activities, particularly in the context of the upcoming 2025 federal election.
\r\n\r\n
A central theme of the Board meeting was the importance of advocating for a National Prosperity Partnership. FCM is urging all orders of government to work collaboratively to build a more resilient and competitive national economy. This partnership is essential to address the key issues facing our communities and our country.
\r\n\r\n
Specifically, FCM is advocating for federal action in several priority areas:
\r\n- Supporting local economic growth and resilience
- Investing in infrastructure renewal
- Achieving housing affordability
- Ending homelessness
- Keeping communities safe and supporting emergency services
- Reducing economic disruption through climate-resilient infrastructure
- Supporting thriving rural, northern, and remote communities
\r\n
The Board also discussed advocacy efforts related to Canada/U.S. relations, recognizing the significant impact of trade policies on our communities. FCM has undertaken several delegations to the U.S. to emphasize the negative economic impacts of President Trump’s trade policies.
\r\n\r\n
Furthermore, the Board of Directors made significant decisions, including:
\r\n\r\n
- Endorsing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and committing to embed its principles into FCM’s Reconciliation Strategy.
\r\n- Approving the Strategic Plan “Stronger together: Local strength, national prosperity”.
\r\n- Adopting the FCM Budget for 2025-2026.
\r\n- Adopting resolutions on various issues, including disability benefits, immigration levels, food insecurity, cellular coverage, healthcare access, wake surfing regulation, fireworks, plastic straw ban, and a federal flushability standard.
\r\n\r\n
This report highlights the vital role of FCM in representing municipal interests and advocating for policies that will strengthen our communities and our nation. I urge all members to review it carefully.
\r\n\r\n
I attended the following meetings and study tour: Study Tour: Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (YUL), Ontario Caucus Dinner, Committee of the Whole, Mayor’s Welcome Reception and Dinner and Board of Directors Meeting I invite you to review the attached Report to Council, detailing the accomplishments of various committees and forums.
\r\n\r\n

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"At its meeting on May 12, 2025, the FIFA World Cup 2026 Subcommittee considered Item FWC4.2 and made recommendations to City Council.
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
The FIFA World Cup 26 will be the biggest single-sport event in history, with 48 teams contesting 104 matches over 39 days across 16 Host Cities in three host countries. More than six million tickets are expected to be available to fans, and the biggest-ever hospitality programme in the history of the tournament will be delivered. Millions of supporters are expected to flock to the 16 Host Cities across Canada, Mexico and the United States, attending matches and visiting FIFA Fan Festival™ sites, booking hotels or short-term accommodation, and visiting the world-class cultural sites and entertainment destinations offered by all 16 Host Cities.
\r\n\r\n
An economic impact study prepared by Deloitte Canada, estimates that preparing for and hosting the FIFA World Cup 26 will contribute up to $3.8 billion in positive economic output for Canada as a host nation, between the period June 2023 to August 2026. The findings estimate positive contributions of $2 billion to Canadian gross domestic product (GDP), $1.3 billion to labour income and $700m to government revenue, as well as the creation and preservation of 24,100 jobs across the country over the period under analysis.
\r\n\r\n
Additional findings estimate that preparing for and hosting the FIFA World Cup 26 could contribute $1.3 billion in positive economic output in the province of Ontario, with Toronto set to host six tournament matches. The report estimates positive contributions of $700 million to the GDP of the province of Ontario, $460 million to labour income and $100 million to government revenue, as well as the creation and preservation of more than 8,700 jobs over the period under analysis (June 2023 to August 2026).
\r\n\r\n
With one year to go, it is crucial the commitment from all stakeholders is confirmed and funding to cover tournament expenditures is secured. Given the economic benefits for Canada and the Province of Ontario as part of hosting the FIFA World Cup 2026, this letter requests an update on inter-governmental funding to ensure all parties are fulfilling their commitments, maintaining transparency and accountability.

Meanwhile, the City is at work advancing dozens of priority projects that advance affordable housing on City land, or through the support of City incentives such as development charge waivers and property tax reductions.
\r\n\r\n
The City’s Legal Services division is a critical partner in the delivery of this work. Through development approvals, funding agreements, and real estate agreements, Legal Services delivers essential pieces for advancing housing projects.
