Councillor James Pasternak, Ward 6, York Centre, has submitted the following Administrative Inquiry:

\r\n

 

\r\n

I am submitting this Administrative Inquiry (under Municipal Code §27-7.11) to obtain information, updates, and details on when City Council will receive an updated staff-recommended Rallies and Protests policy for debate.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since October of 2023, well over 3,500 rallies and protests have taken place across the City of Toronto, with over 780 hate crime charges laid. These protests, ostensibly aimed at serving as a voice for the Palestinian cause, have destabilized the city through various actions and behaviour. Managing these protests has cost the City over $30 million in police time, and has resulted in the disruption of critical infrastructure. This includes CN Rail Lines, Union Station, the Gardiner Expressway, and numerous Toronto Transit operations, including the Danforth subway line.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Mobs have swarmed the Eaton Centre, Yorkdale, Scotia Plaza, and numerous Jewish-owned stores and restaurants. They have harassed residents in Jewish neighbourhoods such as Bathurst and Sheppard. This anarchy has resulted in the doubling of 911 response times and has hurt businesses due to illegal blocking of streets, calls for discriminatory boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses, etc.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Further, these protests have damaged Toronto’s international reputation as a safe place to live and invest; these same groups sabotaged an official State Dinner with the visiting Prime Minister of Italy and continue to harass elected officials at their community offices and even private homes. Some have suggested that the protests and ensuing incitement had led to a Jewish girls’ school being shot at on three separate occasions, a Jewish owned grocery store being fire-bombed and numerous synagogues vandalized.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It is abundantly clear that Toronto is in desperate need of an enforceable Rallies and Protests policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Beginning in February of 2024, City Council adopted a staged approach to introducing a new Rallies and Protests policy. Council adopted a policy framework for the managing and monitoring of rallies and protests that aligned with the City’s Human Rights and Anti-Harassment Policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 17-18, 2024, Council adopted CC24.2 – Policy Framework – City Response to Demonstrations, directing the City Manager to report to Council in the first quarter of 2025 with “bubble zone” by-laws “with an emphasis on protecting vulnerable institutions such as places of worship, faith-based schools, and cultural institutions.”

\r\n

 

\r\n

On May 21 and 22, 2025, City Council adopted a “bubble zone” by-law amendment to guarantee access to social infrastructure. The framework exercise and adoption of this by-law was a step toward a comprehensive Rallies and Protests policy, but it does not manage the crisis in our city; the existing policy is totally inadequate and cannot deal with the current realities facing the City, as it is neither clear nor enforceable.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current policy—merely directing would-be protest organizers to a Toronto Police “Notice of Demonstration” form—offers no practical tools, no enforcement thresholds, and no protections for communities experiencing targeted harassment. The result is a policy vacuum that leaves neighbourhoods unprotected and frontline divisions without guidance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A modern, enforceable Rallies and Protests Policy must include clear enforcement thresholds, prohibitions on targeted residential harassment, standardized response expectations for unplanned demonstrations, and defined roles for both TPS and City divisions. Without these components, the policy cannot translate into predictable, consistent, or equitable public safety.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A city cannot function when long-standing communities feel abandoned by the institutions meant to protect them. Councillors’ offices, City divisions, and Toronto Police Service have received thousands of reports since October 2023, particularly from residents near Bathurst–Sheppard, throughout the downtown core, and around Jewish schools and synagogues.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The reality is that for the many residents who report feeling unsafe walking in their own neighbourhoods during weekly demonstrations, an effective policy cannot come fast enough.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As such, here is my question:

Councillor James Pasternak, Ward 6, York Centre, has submitted the following Administrative Inquiry:

\r\n

 

\r\n

I am submitting this Administrative Inquiry (under Municipal Code §27-7.11) to obtain information, updates and details on the status of the City of Toronto application to the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In April 2024, the Province of Ontario announced the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund. The Fund is a $200 million capital funding program delivered by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (the Ministry) to revitalize existing sport and recreation infrastructure and support the construction of new facilities across the province. Stream 2 covered New Builds/Signature Builds. Under the guidelines, the City of Toronto was eligible to apply for funding under this program. The maximum grant would be capped at $10 million.

\r\n

 

\r\n

What is not clear, is what project(s) the City of Toronto submitted as a priority and whether any funding was secured. The former interim Manager of Parks and Recreation said that the City received notice from the Province of Ontario that when the City’s application was received, funds from the infrastructure program had already been distributed and the budget was spent. The City of Toronto would receive NO funding. However, a member of cabinet and the Member of Provincial Parliament for York Centre has said that Toronto in fact did receive funds. Residents and elected officials in York Centre were led to believe that the funding priority was the Downsview Community Centre because of its link to advancing housing construction on the Downsview lands.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The design and build of the Downsview Community Centre are closely linked to development aspirations on the Downsview Lands. These lands will house approximately 115,000 residents in the coming decades—or about 54,000 units, of which 10 to 20 percent will be affordable. Certain stages in community centre design and build are linked to the building of housing. Downsview residents have been advocating for this community centre for over 25 years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Here are my questions:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Did the City of Toronto apply for funding under Ontario’s Community Sport and Recreation Fund?

\r\n

 

\r\n

- If yes, which project(s) were identified by the City for funding?

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Which project(s) at the City of Toronto received funding?

\r\n

 

\r\n

- If no application was submitted, please provide reasons why an application was not submitted.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- If no funding was received, please provide the reasons why the City of Toronto received no funding.

\r\n

all to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On July 7, 2025, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to the Ontario Land Tribunal citing Council’s failure to make a decision within the timeframes specified the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference has not yet been scheduled.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On July 22, 2025, a complete application for Site Plan Control was submitted. As the Site Plan Application is not subject to the current appeal, this application is held in abeyance pending the outcome of this appeal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends that City Council instruct the City Solicitor with the appropriate City staff to attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing in opposition to the proposal in its current form, and to continue discussions with the applicant to try to resolve the issues in advance of the hearing.

Councillor Paula Fletcher, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor to continue to vigorously oppose these nuisance legal proceedings brought by various plaintiffs wishing to stop new housing and shelter projects.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council direct the Chief Financial Officer to provide a grant to reimburse Consultants named in these legal proceeding for up to $50,000 for their legal fees and disbursements incurred in defending these nuisance actions which are not covered by their insurance underwriters (the “Reimbursement”), provided that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a) The allegations in the legal proceeding relate to work performed by the Consultant under their respective contract with the City;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b) The Consultant seeking reimbursement provides proof that they carried an appropriate insurance policy that may have been required as part of their contractual relationship with the City;

\r\n

 

\r\n

c) The Consultant provides evidence that they made all reasonable efforts to have their insurance underwriter cover the costs of defending one or more of these actions, including, but not limited to commencing an application for a determination of coverage;

\r\n

 

\r\n

d) The Consultant submits itemized invoices or other detailed billing documents, and proof of payment to the satisfaction of the Chief Financial Officer; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

e) The Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with the City Solicitor, determines that, based on the itemized invoices or other billing documents, the Consultant’s expenses are reasonable given market rates for legal services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council deem the Reimbursement made in accordance with Recommendation 2 to be in the interest of the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. The Chief Financial Officer be directed to report through quarterly variance reports from time to time to update Council on any payments of Reimbursements made to Consultants.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The City has committed to a comprehensive plan to build new affordable and supportive housing as part of its HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan. The City has also committed to the expansion of its purpose-built emergency homeless shelters through the Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy (HCSIS). This expansion is necessary as the City’s shelter system is at capacity, people are turned away from full shelters on a nightly basis, hundreds of individuals are sleeping in encampments, and thousands more are chronically underhoused.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While new shelters have been met with mixed response in their planned locations, a small group of people are forcing the City to defend itself in court. This civil litigation has been brought by various plaintiffs wishing to arrest new housing and shelter projects, including at locations on Cummer Avenue, Adelaide Street West, Wardlaw Crescent, Sheppard Avenue East and Third Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Shelter operators and community engagement consultants contracted by the City of Toronto have also been named as defendants in these cases. These operators and consultants have been acting in the public interest, as directed and required pursuant to their contracts with the City of Toronto. In several cases, the plaintiffs are newly created non-profit organizations without assets and may in fact meet the test of a \"straw man” for the purposes of bringing litigation and may never be able to pay costs if they are awarded by the court. There is also some evidence that the various plaintiffs in these separate actions are in fact working in concert and retaining the same legal counsel.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This effort to systematically attack shelter operators and consultants is meant to send a message to all potential operators and consultants that they should stay away from this vitally important work to help those who need it most gain shelter. Reimbursing reasonable legal fees of these operators and consultants is in the City of Toronto’s interest to ensure current and future shelter capital projects can move forward and help people experience homelessness access their right to housing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

REASON FOR URGENCY:

Mayor Olivia Chow recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council revise the graduated Municipal Land Transfer Tax (MLTT) rates for high value residential properties containing at least one, and not more than two, single family residences, by amending the thresholds as follows:

\r\n

2. City Council direct the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to implement graduated Municipal Land Transfer Tax rates effective for all transactions registered or upon which Municipal Land Transfer Tax otherwise becomes payable on or after April 1, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 760, Municipal Land Transfer Tax to reflect the changes detailed above.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council authorize the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to amend the City’s Collection Agreement with Teranet to allow Teranet to collect the Municipal Land Transfer Tax in accordance with these changes.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The City can play a role in saving families money. Together, we’ve made choices that help, like saving families $1,200 on grocery bills through the school food program and not raising TTC fares for three years running.

\r\n

 

\r\n

That’s in addition to building more affordable rental homes, and creating more free spaces - like library Sunday hours and more recreation for youth.

\r\n

 

\r\n

We’ve already taken steps in this direction. When I first arrived in 2023, I ask people buying luxury homes to chip in a little more. It was designed as new graduated rates on the MLTT for high-priced homes. In 2024, it impacted only 2% of home-buyers and brought in $138 million in revenue, taking pressure off working and middle class families. That’s revenue that keeps our city running.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It’s clear that the impact of our current economic uncertainty is not being evenly felt across our City. Many people are at risk of losing their jobs and finding it harder to make ends meet. Some continue to do very well. I’m asking the 2% of buyers purchasing luxury homes far beyond what average Torontonians can afford to chip in more. Those who can afford five or ten million dollar homes can afford to pay their fair share.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion raises the cost to buy Luxury Homes incrementally - between 0.9% and 1.1% on the graduated rates listed below - to shift the cost of funding our city towards those who can afford it the most.

\r\n

1.    City Council receive this report for information.

","financialImpactWep":"

One of the measures discussed in this report is the establishment of a formal protocol for Municipal Licensing and Standards to request Toronto Emergency Management to activate an Emergency Social Services (ESS) response for uninhabitable conditions caused by vital service outages. This may increase the number of requests for Emergency Social Services activations as more cases are brought to Toronto Emergency Management (TEM)’s attention.  Any increase in Toronto emergency Management activations would also have a corresponding impact to the number of referrals to the Housing Secretariat for rehousing case management services. This enhancement does not currently require an increase in the base budgets of Toronto Emergency Management or the Housing Secretariat. The financial impacts of increasing Emergency Social Services responses and case management services as a result of the additional protocol will continue to be measured as part of the 2010 Emergency Human Services policy review and will inform any financial impacts in a report-back to City Council in 2026.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as identified in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

In May 2025, City Council adopted recommendations from the Ombudsman related to the City’s response to a six-month vital services outage in an unlicensed multi-tenant house (MTH) in 2023, and provided additional directives to staff to ensure supports are in place for tenants (2025.CC30.3).

\r\n

 

\r\n

In September 2023, following a fire in a multi-tenant home, utility providers shut off natural gas and some of the electricity. Tenants called the City for assistance to restore vital services, and ten of the eleven tenants ended up moving out as the outage lasted for six months.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

Addressing vital services disruptions to prevent tenant displacement, and supporting those who become displaced, is a multi-divisional collaborative effort by Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS), the Housing Secretariat (HS), and Toronto Emergency Management (TEM). Other divisions with roles in responding to a vital service outage, uninhabitable housing, and tenant displacement include Social Development (SD), the Customer Experience Division (CXD), Toronto Fire Services (TFS), Toronto Building (TB), and Toronto Shelter and Support Services (TSSS).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Ombudsman identified concerns over the adequacy and timeliness of the City’s response and made 27 recommendations, all of which were adopted by Council. These are aimed at improving policies and procedures, staff training and supervision, and responses to vital service outages for MLS, as well as clarifying programs and improving service standards for the EPIC program. City Council provided an additional 6 directives to Municipal Licensing and Standards, Housing Secretariat, Toronto Emergency Management and Customer Experience Division largely around supporting tenants in the event of displacement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report provides an update on the inter-divisional work to support the implementation of the Ombudsman’s recommendations and related Council directives. City staff are working closely with the Ombudsman’s Office on implementation, and all recommended actions are either completed or underway. In response to the recommendations, staff have strengthened enforcement processes, improved staff training, and are establishing stronger protocols for interdivisional coordination to better protect tenants affected by vital services disruptions.

The Interim Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, the Executive Director, Environment, Climate and Forestry, and the Medical Officer of Health recommend that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council repeal Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 497, Heating and replace it with the draft by-law attached as Attachment 1 to this report, effective June 1, 2026, and also make the following amendments to Chapter 497 that will come into force at the same time: 

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. include the requirement that the owner and operator of an apartment building, as defined by Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 354, Apartment Buildings, with an existing indoor amenity space must maintain a temperature of not more than 26 degrees Celsius from June 1 – September 30 of each year in at least one amenity space if cooling is not provided in all dwelling units, unless the owner or operator can establish that the only way to comply with the requirement is to undertake construction or demolition within the meaning of the Building Code Act, 1992.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council delete clause F from § 629-38 of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 629, Property Standards, effective on June 1, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council amend § 354-3.2. B(7) of Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 354, Apartment Buildings to remove the words struck out and include the underlined words to come into effect on June 1, 2026:

\r\n

 

\r\n

the location of an air-conditioned place a cooled amenity space, as defined in Chapter 497, Indoor Temperature Standards, in the building, including its daily hours of operation, and of other locations on the property that offer relief from uncomfortably warm indoor temperatures, including any other cooling room or shaded areas, if accessible to all tenants;

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council direct the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to report back to Council in 2027 with recommendations for potential implementation of a maximum indoor temperature requirement in rental units, considering varying building infrastructure, with exceptions to be informed by a compliance analysis study that will be conducted by City staff in 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

5. City Council direct the Executive Director, Environment, Climate and Forestry or their designates, to continue to deliver an air conditioner assistance program aimed at providing access to air conditioning for low-income and vulnerable households in multi-unit residential buildings in Toronto, subject to the approval of the 2026 budget submission.

\r\n

 

\r\n

6. City Council request the City Manager, in consultation with relevant City Divisions and the Medical Officer of Health, to coordinate engagement with the Government of Ontario including the Ministry of Health to discuss the Government of Ontario’s role in creating programs and allocating funding to mitigate the health impacts of extreme heat on vulnerable populations and the health-care system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

7. City Council reiterate its request to the Government of Ontario to amend the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, to include cooling as a vital service and establish a maximum indoor temperature standard applicable to all rental units to ensure thermal safety protections are available to tenants.

\r\n

 

\r\n

8. City Council reiterate its request to the Government of Ontario to proclaim into force Bill 97, Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 to strengthen tenants' rights to install and use a window or portable air conditioner in a rental unit in leased residential premises and examine additional measures to support vulnerable and low-income tenants with associated cooling costs such as the Ontario Electricity Support Program and Low-Income Energy Program, and service disconnection bans.

\r\n

 

\r\n

9. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make any necessary clarifications, refinements, minor modifications, technical amendments, or by-law amendments as may be identified by the City Solicitor and the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards.

","financialImpactWep":"

The report proposes to conduct a compliance analysis study across different types of leased residential buildings/dwellings, including impact on tenant costs, that will be initiated in 2026, and is intended to be conducted by a third-party vendor. The costs associated with the study will be managed within MLS’ operating budget and there are no incremental budget impacts to the 2026 budget submission.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The report proposes to continue to deliver an air conditioning assistance program aimed at providing access to air conditioning for low-income and vulnerable households in multi-unit residential buildings in Toronto. The continuation of this initiative will be brought forward through the City’s 2026 budget process, and prioritized against other City priorities, as well as the City’s financial and resource capacity. City staff are evaluating the extent of the incremental financial impacts.

\r\n

 

\r\n

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 2026 budget process.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Extreme heat is Toronto’s most urgent climate threat, and excessive indoor temperatures are of particular concern for tenants in leased residential premises without cooling equipment like air conditioning (A/C) or heat pumps. Unlike heating, cooling is not considered a vital service[1] by the Government of Ontario.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report responds to City Council’s endorsement in December 2024 (2024.PH17.5) of a maximum indoor temperature standard of 26 Degrees Celsius for leased residential premises and cooling rooms, and direction for staff to report back on implementation and next steps. In 2025, staff conducted comprehensive stakeholder engagement and procured C40 Cities to examine this topic in Toronto and other North American cities. Feedback and expertise suggest that a maximum indoor temperature will provide health and safety benefits for tenants. However, implementation costs and burdens to rental housing providers that do not currently provide air conditioning are a significant barrier, and costs are expected to be passed to tenants. Any new indoor temperature requirements must also consider relevant provincial legislation, such as the Building Code Act, 1992.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As a result, this report recommends that, in 2026, staff conduct a compliance analysis study of introducing a maximum temperature requirement across different rental unit/building types and the measured impact on tenants (e.g., rent increases). Staff will report back to City Council in 2027 with results of the study. The report back will include recommendations for potential implementation of a maximum indoor temperature requirement in rental units, considering varying building infrastructure, with exceptions to be informed by the compliance analysis study. To help protect tenants from excessive indoor temperature in the short term, staff recommend continuing the City’s Air Conditioning Assistance Program to provide free air conditioning to low-income and vulnerable households. Staff also recommend bylaw amendments to require RentSafeTO apartment buildings cool an existing amenity space during the summer months, if they meet the requirements to comply, beginning June 1, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report and the recommendations therein were developed by Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) Division in collaboration with Environment, Climate and Forestry (ECF), with input from Toronto Public Health.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Divisions and City agencies that supported the development of this report and that were consulted with include Housing Secretariat, Toronto Emergency Management, Social Development Division, Toronto Employment and Social Services Division, City Planning, Toronto Building, Seniors Services and Long-Term Care Division, People & Equity Division, Toronto Community Housing Corporation, and Toronto Hydro.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report has been prepared in coordination with two other heat-related reports being presented at the same City Council meeting: Progress and Priorities for Enhancing Toronto’s Climate Resilience (led by Environment, Climate and Forestry) and Strengthening the Heat Relief Strategy (led by Toronto Emergency Management). Together, these reports contribute to a coordinated approach to enhancing heat resilience across Toronto.

\r\n


[1] Under Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, “vital service” means hot and cold water, fuel, electricity, gas or, during the part of each year prescribed by regulations, heat.

No seasonal forecast for summer 2026 can be provided this far in advance. As a frame of reference to guide planning and costing, Toronto Public Health has reviewed ECCC data and historical trends, and assuming a summer of similar severity, has provided estimates of approximately 25 days under a Heat Warning over seven separate events. This assumption reflects a higher-end estimate. City divisions anticipate incurring the costs outlined in the table below to implement actions directed by City Council under MM31.21 in this scenario. All expenses will be managed within each division’s 2026 operating budget; no additional or enhanced funding is anticipated.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with information included in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The Heat Relief Strategy guides the City of Toronto's response to hot weather, with a goal of minimizing the health impacts of extreme heat. Its primary focus is to provide tailored relief to populations most vulnerable to heat. It is active during the heat season, which runs annually from May 15 to September 30.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report will respond to City Council direction MM31.21, which requested City staff to review City’s Heat Relief Strategy (the Strategy) and provide recommendations for enhancement, and MM31.26, , which directed staff improve timely and accurate public updates about pool and recreation facility closures.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto is increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change, including more frequent, prolonged and extreme heat events. The summer of 2025 was among the hottest in the past decade, with a total of 29 days under a Heat Warning issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The first Heat Warning in June 2025 was marked by high heat, with temperatures reaching 34.5°C, and Humidex values that reached 46, the highest Humidex ever recorded in Toronto for the month of June. The severity of this event highlighted areas where the City's response measures needed strengthening, including expanded access to cool spaces, increased water distribution and more coordinated, proactive communications. Challenges were experienced with the operation of public pools during the Heat Warning, requiring additional staffing, enhanced occupational health and safety measures, and a more proactive approach to pool maintenance to support uninterrupted service.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In response, City divisions implemented enhanced measures during summer 2025, and Toronto Emergency Management coordinated an interdivisional review of the Heat Relief Strategy to identify further recommendations for strengthening it.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Building on lessons learned from 2025 and City Council direction, the City is advancing an updated Heat Relief Strategy for summer 2026. Key updates include:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Improved public communications to provide timely and accurate information about pool operations through the City’s website and 311 Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Enhanced occupational health and safety measures and operational readiness for indoor and outdoor pools, including pre-season facility and equipment assessments to provide continuous and reliable operations and safe conditions for staff and the public.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Improved contingency plans for CampTO to reduce heat exposure for staff and children during the heat season, including the purchase and deployment of portable air conditioning units to ensure every camp had access to a designated cool space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Expanded access to cool spaces, including the introduction of a 24-hour cool space during Heat Warnings.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Dedicated engagement with vulnerable populations, including the dissemination of heat-related information and, in some cases, direct check-ins during heat events. Building on a 2025 Canadian Red Cross pilot, future outreach pilots will be explored, informed by best available evidence and approaches scalable to a city the size of Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Expanded access to drinking water through deployment of water trailers and distribution of bottled water.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Strengthened emergency management, including a pre-season tabletop exercise in April 2026 and continuing to convene the Heat Warning Table ahead of forecasted alerts to coordinate Heat Warning-activated services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report has been prepared in coordination with two other climate-related reports being presented to City Council: Progress and Priorities for Enhancing Toronto’s Climate Resilience (led by Environment, Climate and Forestry) and Towards Implementing a Maximum Indoor Temperature Requirement for Rental Units and Cooling Rooms (led by Municipal Licensing and Standards, co-signed by Toronto Public Health and Environment, Climate and Forestry). Together, all three reports contribute to a coordinated approach to enhancing immediate and long-term heat resilience across Toronto. The Heat Relief Strategy will be updated after City Council considers these two related reports, ensuring alignment across all three initiatives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2026 Heat Relief Strategy will be finalized and posted publicly on the City's website by May 1, 2026.

","financialImpactWep":"

Adopting the recommendations will have no immediate financial impact. Year 1 (2026) will focus on strategic planning, initiating, and implementing effective internal governance structures. This will include evaluating the costs, feasibility, and resourcing needs associated with potential actions. These enabling activities will be prioritized and accommodated within divisional budgets. Staff will also assess and identify the resources required to implement a Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan as part of the report back in 2027. The Climate Change Resilience Workplan is a City-wide initiative involving multiple Divisions. Any incremental funding or resource requirements will be requested through future staff reports to Council and/or in subsequent budget processes, to be considered alongside other City priorities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as presented in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

In 2024, Toronto City Council directed Environment, Climate and Forestry to report back on current and future climate resilience initiatives across the corporation, provide a refreshed governance approach to climate resilience, identify climate resilience priorities and discuss Indigenous worldviews and relationships in climate resilience planning. This report responds to this direction, and has been prepared in coordination with two other heat-related reports being presented to City Council: Towards Implementing a Maximum Indoor Temperature Requirement for Rental Units and Cooling Rooms, led by Municipal Licensing and Standards Division (and co-signed by Toronto Public Health and Environment, Climate and Forestry), and Strengthening the Heat Relief Strategy, led by Toronto Emergency Management. Together, these reports contribute to a coordinated approach to enhancing heat resilience across Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto’s climate is changing, with extreme heat and flooding from heavy rainfall two of the city’s most urgent climate hazards. Extreme heat is projected to escalate rapidly in the coming decades, making it the most pressing concern. High winds, poor air quality and severe winter weather also pose risks to the city. Most risks are expected to intensify over the coming decades, with growing impacts on public health, infrastructure, mobility, access to services and natural systems. Importantly, the impacts are not felt equally, making equity a critical consideration in building climate resilience.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Two essential types of climate action are mitigation, which means reducing greenhouse gas emissions to limit future climate change, and adaptation, which involves preparing for and responding to the impacts we are already experiencing and those to come. Effective adaptation strengthens Toronto's overall climate resilience, with evidence consistently showing that it delivers long-term benefits that outweigh the costs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Divisions are already taking important actions to build climate resilience, including actions to address heat, flooding and other climate risks through emergency preparedness, seasonal planning and dedicated initiatives. Despite these efforts, more is needed to close gaps and plan for risks that will continue to escalate in coming decades, coordinate and direct efforts and resources where they are needed most, connect long-term planning with seasonal planning and short-term response and ensure climate risks are considered in the mandates of City Divisions. The City also needs to fill information gaps, clarify accountabilities and specify resourcing needs for climate change adaptation actions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff will convene an Oversight Table for Climate Resilience, co-chaired by Environment, Climate and Forestry and Toronto Emergency Management, to reflect the importance of connecting long-term climate resilience planning and seasonal preparedness and emergency response to extreme weather events. The Oversight Table will be composed of City Division Heads with representation from each City service area and will be supported by interdivisional working tables, including a wider range of City Divisions, Agencies, and Corporations, to generate a Climate Change Adaptation Action Plan. This Plan will enable the City to address the risks identified in the City's new climate change risk and vulnerability assessment. The climate change adaptation action planning process will also include engagement with residents to ensure actions are inclusive and locally relevant, and to generate data to support decision-making.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Complementary work to embed climate risk considerations into existing cross-corporate decision-making processes, such as asset management and budget planning, will further enable climate change adaptation actions to be identified, prioritized and addressed systematically. Over time, these changes will be mainstreamed into annual operations, strengthening decision-making to account for future climate conditions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This governance approach will be coordinated by Environment, Climate and Forestry as described in the attached Climate Change Resilience Workplan (Attachment 2). This approach is recommended over the creation of a singular Chief Resiliency Officer position, as it builds on and leverages existing expertise, Division-specific authorities and responsibilities and limits duplication or uncertainty around accountabilities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also recognizes that Indigenous climate solutions are an essential companion to Western climate science approaches. Indigenous communities led and maintained the health of these lands and waters, and the living beings that are here, since time immemorial. As it works toward climate resilience, the City seeks to honour this knowledge and work alongside Indigenous communities to enable approaches that centre reciprocity and kinship with all beings and collective prosperity.

\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 responds to MM24.20 (December 2024), where City Council requested that staff, in collaboration with the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and Waterfront Toronto, report back on opportunities to advance wider waterfront initiatives outside of the central waterfront and Designated Waterfront Area, \"including City and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority joint projects on the Scarborough and Etobicoke portions of the Lake Ontario Waterfront that could benefit from funding from senior levels of government so as to inform inter-governmental discussions and funding requests, and 2026 budget deliberations.\"

\r\n

 

\r\n

The waterfront has been of great public interest for a long time. Published in 2000, Our Toronto Waterfront: Gateway to the New Canada (Gateway Report) provided the original vision for Toronto's waterfront.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization report that was approved by City Council in 2022 directed staff to actively advance and pursue intergovernmental support for projects in the full 43-kilometer “wider waterfront”, extending from Etobicoke Creek in Etobicoke to the Rouge River in Scarborough which for areas needing investment in parks, natural heritage, active transportation and environmental protection and resilience.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As directed, staff have continued intergovernmental dialogue on wider waterfront funding priorities as a part of discussions on the Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization. As noted in EX19.2, all governments continue to be focussed on the need to invest in enabling infrastructure that would advance significant housing opportunities in the central waterfront. The Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization resulted in $5 million of funding being secured for wider waterfront initiatives in recognition of its alignment with the original vision for city-wide waterfront revitalization. Funding will be used to advance preliminary studies and design necessary to establish shovel ready projects for future capital funding opportunities. Advancing projects to be ready for future federal and provincial funding opportunities is a key priority of the Wider Waterfront Coordination Table which was established to improve coordination between and across the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and City divisions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While the needs identified by the Wider Waterfront Coordination Table are large, a substantial set of projects have been completed or are currently underway in Scarborough, the Toronto Island Park, the Western Beaches and Etobicoke. This report outlines progress underway and recommends direction to staff that will further enable implementation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Specifically, it is recommended that City Council direct staff to undertake a comprehensive waterfront planning exercise for the Etobicoke Waterfront, between the Etobicoke Creek and the Humber River. Staff would undertake this vision/ strategy beginning in 2026 and report back in 2027. This work would be led by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority with support from the Waterfront Secretariat and staff in various divisions including City Planning, Development Review, Parks and Recreation, Transportation Services and Toronto Water.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Overall, the work described in this report will continue to be coordinated through the Wider Waterfront Coordination Table and will be conducted in collaboration with local Councillors and include public and Indigenous engagement. Together, the implementation of ongoing projects and launching the work program as recommended in this report will set the stage for new revitalization opportunities, improved public access and more resilient natural systems along the 43-km waterfront from Etobicoke Creek to the Rouge River.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as contained in Confidential Attachment 1.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council's approval to change certain terms previously approved by Council to amend the Ground Lease between Toronto Port Lands Company (TPLC), legally the Toronto Economic Development Corporation, and Basin Media Studios GP Inc. (the \"Tenant\") related to the Basin Studios project at 29 and 75 Basin Street. This report has been prepared by staff from the City of Toronto and CreateTO.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Basin Studios project is an approximately $300 million, purpose-built, state-of-the-art film, television, and digital media hub in Toronto’s Port Lands. The development encompasses over 485,000 square feet of new purpose-built studio and support space, including 12 new sound stages. The project site involves an approximately 8.9-acre property owned by Toronto Port Lands Company at 29 Basin Street (the \"29 Basin Property\") and 5-acre property owned by the Tenant at 75 Basin Street (the \"75 Basin Property\"). 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed changes to the Ground Lease amending terms are summarized in Confidential Attachment 1. These changes are requested in response to current and ongoing challenges faced by the project since 2021, which have been exacerbated by a renewed protectionism of the US film industry since the arrival of the second Trump Administration, adding additional uncertainty to the investment environment for new film studio development in Toronto. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

CreateTO and City staff are satisfied that the proposed amendments will support the viability of the project in the future and do not introduce any new financial liabilities or risks to the City. The recommendations within this report support the commitments of key City of Toronto strategies that support economic and cultural development, notably the Action Plan for Toronto's Economy, the Action Plan for Culture in Toronto, and the Mayor's Action Plan in Response to US Tariffs.

","financialImpactWep":"

The City of Toronto Water and Wastewater Program (the “Program”) is currently fully funded on a ‘pay-as-you-go’ basis through a combined water and wastewater rate without any reliance on property taxes or borrowing/debenture financing. The property tax supported budget is not impacted by adoption of the recommendations contained in this report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends an interim water and wastewater consumption rate increase of 3.75%, effective January 1, 2026, for Block 1 rate consumers and Block 2 rate industrial process-use consumers in advance of the 2026 Budget Process.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As shown in Chart 1, the recommended interim rate increase of 3.75 % would have an impact of $40 per year for the average home consuming 230 cubic metres a year billed at the Block 1 Rate (from $1,078 in 2025 to $1,118 in 2026). The net impact of the 3.75% increase on a commercial consumer at the Block 1 rate with an annual consumption of 100,000 cubic metres would be $17,570. The same level of consumption for eligible industrial process-use consumers, charged at the Block 2 rate, would be a $12,564 net impact, reflecting the 30% discount applied.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The rate increase impact on a large industrial process-use consumer of 1,000,000 cubic metres eligible for the Block 2 rate will be $123,264.

\r\n

The proposed interim water and wastewater consumption rate increase of 3.75%, recommended in this report, if approved by City Council, is anticipated to generate approximately $55.15 million in additional revenue for Toronto Water's operational and capital program needs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The recommended interim increases to certain water and wastewater service fees are set out in Appendix B and are based on projected 2026 inflationary increases for services costs such as costs of labour, energy, utilities and materials involved in providing the related services by Toronto Water, as well as Revenue Services. These proposed service fee increases are set at 3.75% and 2.5%, respectively and are in accordance with the City's User Fee Policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Further details are provided in appropriate sections of this report discussing the recommended increases to water and wastewater service fees.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed 2026 interim increases to water and wastewater service fees, if approved by City Council, are expected to generate additional revenue of approximately $2.341 million, which is intended to offset the cost increases associated with delivering these services.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends the adoption by City Council of 2026 interim water and wastewater consumption rates and service fees as set out in this report. The adoption of these interim rates and fees is requested in advance of the 2026 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budgets in order to establish these rates and fees and provide City staff with the necessary authority to implement them effective January 1, 2026. The recommended interim rates are established to meet Toronto Water operating and budget requirements which will be considered through the 2026 Operating and Capital Budget process (\"2026 Budget Process\"). These rates may be amended by City Council when the 2026 Rate supported Operating and Capital Budgets are adopted, which is expected in the first quarter of 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Accordingly, this report recommends, effective January 1, 2026, an interim 3.75% water and wastewater consumption rate increase, as well as inflationary and cost recovery increases for certain existing water and wastewater service fees, reflecting the cost of providing these services.

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, and the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services recommend that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council adopt, effective January 1, 2026, the interim Solid Waste Management Services Rates and Fees as summarized by customer group in Appendix A and detailed in Solid Waste Management Services Municipal Code Chapter 441 – Fees and Charges in Appendix B.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council authorize that the necessary amendments be made to the Municipal Code Chapter 441 – Fees and Charges, and any other necessary Municipal Code Chapters as may be required to give effect to these Recommendations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council direct that all the interim rates, fees and charges set out in Appendix A to this report, adopted by Council in Recommendation 1 and 2 above, continue in full force and effect until such time as they are amended or repealed by City Council.

","financialImpactWep":"

Solid Waste Management Services is a utility funded program that recovers program costs from a combination of user fees and rates and other charges.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2026 interim rate increase of 3.75% provides funding to support Solid Waste Management Services operations and capital projects as well as waste diversion and reduction initiatives. The financial impact of Extended Producer Responsibility which is fully in effect January 1, 2026, where the City no longer manages residential blue bin recycling, has been accounted for in the 3.75% rate increase for 2026 and future year modelling consistent with past analysis and Staff Reports.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Consideration during the 2026 budget process may result in amendments being made by City Council to the interim rates and service fees.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The interim 3.75% utility rate increase for 2026, as summarized by customer group in Appendix A, is recommended to maintain the contribution to the Waste Management Reserve funds and to finance future capital investments, which include the development of increased organics processing capacity, maintain a 0% State of Good Repair Backlog, fund Long-term Residual Waste Disposal options, and advance the Dufferin Waste Facility Site Improvement project.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed interim Solid Waste Management Services increase of 3.75%, if approved by City Council, is anticipated to generate approximately $14.138 million in additional revenue for Solid Waste Management Services operational and capital program needs. Solid Waste Management Services will continue to assess projected annual rates and future increases on an annual basis to ensure that service levels and funding for the 10-year Capital Budget and Plan are able to be sustained.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While the impact of the proposed 3.75% rate increase will vary by customer depending on property type and bin size, for a residential property with a medium size bin the 3.75% rate increase will reflect added costs of $13.95 for the year.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends the adoption by City Council of interim 2026 Solid Waste Management Services Rates and Fees as set out in this report. The adoption of these interim rates and fees is requested in advance of the 2026 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budgets to establish these interim rates and fees and provide City staff with the necessary authority to implement them effective January 1, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council may amend the interim rates when the 2026 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budget is approved, which is expected in February 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends an interim 3.75% increase in Solid Waste Management Service rates and fees effective January 1, 2026. The recommended increase, shown in Table 1 below by customer grouping, will allow Solid Waste Management Services to maintain all current service levels and address future capital needs.

","financialImpactWep":"

From an operating budget perspective, when recognizing only realized gains and losses, the General Fund earned $179.0 million, and will be allocated between the eligible reserve funds and operating budget in accordance with the Council-approved interest allocation to reserve funds policy after the year end when all the required data becomes available.

\r\n

 

\r\n

When recognizing only realized gains and losses, the Sinking Fund portfolio earned $32.6 million for the six month period ending June 30, 2025. These earnings are retained within the Sinking Funds and must be used for the purpose of retiring debenture debt at maturity.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to provide the following information:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. Performance of the Funds for the six month period ending June 30, 2025

\r\n

2. General Market Update and Benchmark Performance

\r\n

3. Compliance to the Council adopted City of Toronto Investment Policy

\r\n

 

\r\n

The General Group of Funds (General Fund) hold the working capital and amounts designated for the City's reserves and reserve funds. The General Fund is comprised of two pools of investments: (a) the Short Term Fund (liquidity funds managed internally), and (b) the Long Term Fund (funds not immediately required managed by the Toronto Investment Board). The General Fund had a book return of 1.7 per cent and generated $179.0 million for the six months ending June 30, 2025. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

During the first half of 2025, there was a larger than expected drawdown from Short Term Fund (STF). On average, the Short Term Fund, including the short-term investments of the Long Term Fund (LTF), was about 43 per cent of the overall General Fund compared to 48 per cent from the pre-pandemic level in 2019. Although this lower weight does not pose a liquidity concern, it will lower projected earnings from Short Term Fund in the near future.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff re-assessed the City's liquidity position in late 2023 and advised the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer (CFO&T) that excess funds within the Short Term Fund were available for longer term investment. Overall, $2 billion was transferred from STF to the LTF in four quarterly installments during 2024.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Sinking Fund (SF) portfolio is separate from the General Fund and holds the investment funds for future debt repayments. For the six months ending June 30, 2025, the Sinking Fund portfolio had a book return of 1.2 per cent and generated $32.6 million in income.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since January 1, 2018, the City's long-term investments (Long Term Fund and Sinking Fund) have been managed by the Toronto Investment Board (Board) under a Council adopted Investment Policy which is based on the prudent investor standard. Investment portfolios of different asset classes have been progressively phased in to make use of the broader range of investments that have become available. Although, the potential for volatility in total returns over the short-term investment horizon still exist, the overall portfolio risk has been reduced through asset mix diversification. The overall risk-adjusted total returns over the long-term investment horizon are expected to be higher.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Board currently provides oversight of four external fixed income managers, four external global equity managers and two real asset managers that invest the long-term investments. As at June 30, 2025, approximately 94 per cent of the Sinking Fund and 97 per cent of the Long Term Fund were managed by external investment managers. Both fixed income and equity investment asset classes are fully funded in accordance with the target asset mix in the Investment Policy with 70 per cent allocated to fixed income and 20 per cent to global equities. The remaining 10 per cent is allocated to real assets of which approximately 5 per cent has been funded to two global real estate mandates. The final 5 per cent of the real asset category will be directed to global infrastructure mandates in the near future. Adding real assets to the current investment portfolios will enhance the overall portfolios' risk-adjusted investment return and complete the Council approved policy target asset mix.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Toronto Investment Board has contracted a third-party data provider in order to monitor and report on the high-level Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) attributes of the City's long-term investment portfolios. This investment fund-level ESG reporting process will complement the existing corporate-level ESG performance report. At the end of June 2025, the City's ESG score on the LTF was \"A\" and SF score was \"AA\", both aligned or outperformed the selected market benchmark as depicted in the investment policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the year 2024 and first six months of 2025, all funds managed are compliant with the Investment Policy. The City's auditor, KPMG LLP, performed the Investment Policy compliance audit during the second half of 2025 and no issues were noted.

Appendix 2a outlines the recommended in-year capital budget adjustments to the 10-Year Capital Budget and Plan. These include a net acceleration of $86.492 million from future years, and an additional $238.044 million in funding, offset by a reduction of $2.570 million. Overall, these changes result in a net reduction of $2.444 million in debt funding.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the City experienced an unfavourable net variance in Tax-Supported programs of $8.2 million and is projecting a favourable net variance of $97.4 million for December 31, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The projected year-end favourable net variance of $97.4 million reflects stronger-than-planned Interest and Investment Earnings, as well as other program-level expenditure savings across City operations. The year-end projection also reflects updated assumptions for Toronto Shelter and Support Services, which is now expected to end the year on budget based on anticipated federal reimbursement under the restored Interim Housing Assistance Program for eligible asylum-related and interim housing costs.

The favourable year-to-date variance and favourable year-end projection is driven by Toronto Water and Solid Waste Management Services, with the favourable projection to year-end mainly driven by Toronto Water.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Rate-Supported Programs are funded entirely by user fees that are used to pay for the services provided and the infrastructure to deliver them. Solid Waste Management Services and Toronto Water’s respective year-end surpluses, if any, must be transferred to the Waste Management Reserve Fund and the Wastewater and Water Stabilization Reserves respectively, to finance capital investments and ongoing capital repairs and maintenance. Seventy-five percent of Toronto Parking Authority’s surplus is allocated to the City, with the remaining twenty-five percent reinvested in Toronto Parking Authority’s capital projects, which is consistent with an Income Sharing Agreement.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The City of Toronto (City) maintains obligatory reserve funds balances that will be recognized as revenues in future years, in addition to reserves and discretionary reserve funds that are intended to support the City's future activities. This report provides an update of these balances, as well as their related earned revenues and activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Obligatory Reserve Funds

\r\n

 

\r\n

Obligatory reserve funds, are monies received from external parties for specific purposes outlined in Provincial legislation or third-party agreements.   

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the City’s obligatory reserve funds increased from $6,726.4 million to $7,963.3 million. The increase of $1,236.9 million was primarily driven by monies received from water and wastewater rate revenue, development and planning act contributions, provincial new deal funding and the federal housing accelerator fund.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reserves and Discretionary Reserve Funds

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reserves and Discretionary Reserve Funds are established by Council to support the financial management and operations of the City, minimize annual tax rate fluctuations, and provide a measure of financial flexibility to address the impact of significant unexpected pressures.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reserves and Discretionary Reserve Funds balances increased by $433.2 million over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, going from $5,612.8 million to $6,046.0 million. This net increase is the result of Council-authorized contributions for capital investments in housing, capital infrastructure, operational support and vehicle and equipment replacement. The majority of the City's Reserves and Discretionary Reserve Funds balances ($5,752.7 million, or 95.1 percent) are committed to future Council directed activities that include capital and operating expenditures and rate-based activities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The remaining reserve and discretionary reserve fund balance ($293.3 million, or 4.9 percent) is uncommitted and available to respond to various unanticipated costs, stabilize funding sources, including the tax base, or for emergency purposes such as extreme weather events. The uncommitted amount represents 1.6 percent of the total 2025 approved Operating Budget of $18,849.1 million.

\r\n

 

\r\n

There are total commitments and obligations of $41,066.7 million against the $14,009.3 million balance in committed reserves, discretionary reserves and obligatory reserve funds consistent with the approved 10-Year Capital Plan and other requirements and obligations. These commitments and obligations are almost three times the current reserve, discretionary reserve fund and obligatory reserve fund balances, requiring continued reserve contributions to support planned expenditures. A further breakdown of the City’s current balances in comparison to planned operating and capital expenditures, including both obligatory reserve funds and discretionary reserve funds, can be found in Appendix E.

This report has no financial impact.

","agendaItemSummary":"

It is recommended that a new section be added to Chapter 140 of the Toronto Municipal Code, Lobbying (the Lobbying By-law), to exempt communications that occur during structured meetings of roundtables, working groups, advisory committees, and similar bodies established by City divisions or the City Manager for the purpose of providing advice or input to staff.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed addition addresses an inconsistency in the Lobbying By-law's application that arises from the distinction between advisory bodies appointed by Council (whose members are considered public office holders and exempt from registration) and those established solely by City staff (whose participants may be required to register as lobbyists). This discrepancy creates confusion and may discourage public engagement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed exemption is narrowly scoped and conditional, maintaining transparency and integrity while removing unnecessary barriers to stakeholder consultation.

a. require the Administrative Penalty Tribunal to consist of 25 members appointed by Council, inclusive of a Chair and Vice-Chair;

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The role of the Chair is critical to the consistent functioning and decision-making of the Administrative Penalty Tribunal. In addition to serving as a Hearing Officer, the responsibilities of the Chair include ensuring that hearing practices of the Administrative Penalty Tribunal are fair and effective, ensuring quality and consistency of Administrative Penalty Tribunal decisions, and chairing the business meetings of the Administrative Penalty Tribunal among other responsibilities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends the creation of a Vice-Chair position on the Board, which is intended to reduce the risk of inconsistent decisions and operational disruption by serving as Chair in the absence the Chair or during a vacancy of the Chair's position. As well, a Vice-Chair could assist the Chair in managing their responsibilities and transitioning when a new Chair is appointed. The 2023 and 2024 annual report of the current Chair of the Administrative Penalty Tribunal recommended consideration of a Vice-Chair as a member of the Tribunal for these reasons.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

Based on the proposed role of the Vice-Chair and consideration of the stipends for public members and the Chair, this report recommends an annual stipend for the Vice-Chair of $6,250, pro-rated on an annual basis from the time of appointment.

AMO launched its first Indigenous Relations Action Plan. 3. Member engagement sessions gathered feedback on policy priorities. 2025 AMO Conference Highlights and Highway Advocacy | AMO

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Priority Key Messages were the following: 1. Modernize the municipal-provincial fiscal relationship and provide long-term, predictable infrastructure funding. 2. Invest in solutions addressing homelessness, mental health, and deeply affordable housing. 3. Reassess Ontario’s property tax system to ensure fairness and predictability. 4. Support Bill 9 for improved accountability and respectful civic engagement. 5. Highway Advocacy was high on the agenda as well with the AMO endorsing a 2+1 highway solution for Highways 11 and 17 to improve safety, reliability, and trade connectivity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This year Ontario Big City Mayors OBCM participated in the AMO Conference in Ottawa, advocating for urgent municipal priorities including housing, homelessness, mental health, public safety, and sustainable funding. Discussions with provincial and federal leaders emphasized the need for predictable infrastructure investment and relief from $5 billion in downloaded service costs. Key outcomes included five motions on housing, safety, and civility—with Toronto leading by successfully adopting a motion requesting the federal government reverse recent changes to the Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) to ensure municipalities can continue providing shelter supports to refugee claimant arrivals—and a provincial announcement of $1.6 billion for housing-related infrastructure. OBCM stressed that municipalities cannot address complex challenges on property taxes alone and called for collaborative action across all levels of government. https://www.ontariobigcitymayors.ca/reports-submissions/

I attended the following meetings during the AGM: Board of Directors meetings, spoke at the special joint meeting of Ontario Big City Mayors (OBCM) and Mayors and regional Chairs of Ontario (MARCO), Opening Ceremonies, Plenary Programs, Concurrent Sessions, Trade Show, Chaired and moderated the session on Libraries for Community impact and Childhood Development, Learning Lunches, Insight Breakfast as well as meeting with Hon.

City Council direct the Director, Transportation Planning and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning to report to the Executive Committee on opportunities for integration of a future Lakeshore-Midtown Line with existing and planned City transit projects to maximize connectivity and efficiency.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The Greater Toronto Area continues to experience significant population growth and increasing demand for efficient, reliable transit options.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed Lakeshore–Midtown Line, which would have connected Oakville through Mississauga, Midtown Toronto, and Scarborough before terminating in Oshawa, was previously identified as a strategic corridor to improve east-west connectivity across the region.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The cancellation of this line represents a missed opportunity to advance the objectives outlined in Metrolinx’s 2041 Regional Transportation Plan, which calls for completing the regional rapid transit network and enhancing cross-regional mobility.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reinstating the Lakeshore–Midtown Line would:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Advance RTP Goals: The 2041 RTP calls for improved regional connectivity and new rapid transit corridors to address future growth. This line directly supports those priorities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Reduce Congestion: By providing an alternative to the heavily used Lakeshore East and West corridors, the line would alleviate pressure on existing infrastructure.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Support Economic Development: Enhanced connectivity between employment hubs and residential communities fosters economic resilience and competitiveness.

\r\n

\r\n

1. City Council receive the Federation of Municipalities (FCM) October 2025 Advocacy Days report to Council for information.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

I am pleased to advise of my participation on behalf of the City of Toronto at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Advocacy Days on Parliament Hill, meeting with federal decision-makers to emphasize that Canada’s housing and economic goals depend on strong local infrastructure. Municipalities own over 60% of core infrastructure but receive only 8–10 cents of every tax dollar, while facing a $270B infrastructure deficit. Without urgent federal investment, housing plans and supply chain growth risk stalling before they start. News: Canada risks stalling nation-building without strong local infrastructure

\r\n

 

\r\n

FCM is urging the Federal Government for action on three priorities:

\r\n

 

\r\n

-Double the $2.4B Canada Community-Building Fund and index it to GDP growth, with matching provincial/territorial contributions.
-Launch a NextGen infrastructure program to succeed the $33B Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program ending in 2028, with targeted investments for rural, Northern, and Arctic communities.
-Protect and expand essential municipal programs like Reaching Home, Interim Housing Assistance, and the Canada Public Transit Fund to support vulnerable populations, manage growth, and build resilient communities.

\r\n


Guided by FCM’s advocacy priorities, I emphasized the City of Toronto in my discussions with Ministers

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. Deliver Municipal Infrastructure that supports jobs and economy amid the trade war

\r\n

-Support increased infrastructure funding to enable sustainable, complete communities alongside new housing.

\r\n

-Boost funding for the Canada Permanent Transit Fund (CPTF).

\r\n

-CPTF will provide $3B annually for transit and active transportation starting in 2026–27. $3B per year is insufficient to meet national transit state-of-good-repair and expansion needs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. Enable more affordable housing in Urban and Rural Communities

\r\n

-Delays in housing benefits, like COHB, immediately stop the flow of people exiting the shelter system, proving their critical role.

\r\n

-Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) housing is overwhelmingly reported by those with lived experience as the most effective tool to prevent their homelessness.

\r\n

-The Affordability Gap has ballooned due to a 62% increase in average market rent versus only a 4% increase in social assistance shelter allowances since 2014.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. Ensure Safer Communities through investment in policing, crisis resourcing and bail reform

\r\n

-Since March 2022, Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) has handled over 29,000 calls, resolving 78% without police, fire, or paramedics—proving the effectiveness of non-police crisis teams.

\r\n

-In 2023, Toronto Police saw a 4.5% drop in person-in-crisis calls, showing TCCS’s growing impact in diverting appropriate calls and easing pressure on emergency services.

\r\n

-Continued investment in TCCS will improve public safety, reduce ER strain, support vulnerable residents, and build a more equitable crisis response system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. Protecting Canadians from the impacts of climate change and extreme weather.

\r\n

-Infrastructure Investment: The federal and municipal governments are investing over $700M to upgrade the Black Creek sewer system, enabling 63,000 new homes and supporting 130,000+ residents and 65,000+ jobs.

\r\n

-Climate Resilience: FCM urges $2B immediately and $1B annually for climate-resilient infrastructure to address extreme weather impacts—2024 alone cost $8.5B in damages.

\r\n

-High ROI: Every $1 invested in climate adaptation yields up to $15 in economic benefits, protecting communities, public health, and local economies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

I attended the: Committee of the Whole meetings, Board meetings, Reception with Parliamentarians and meetings with the following Members of Parliament:

\r\n

 

\r\n

-Member of Parliament, Hon. MP Robert Oliphant, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

\r\n

-Member of Parliament, MP Tim Louis, Parliamentary Secretary to the President of the King’s Privy Council for Canada and Minister responsible for Canada-U.S. Trade, Intergovernmental Affairs and One Canadian Economy.

\r\n

-Member of Parliament, MP Leslie Church, Parliamentary Secretary to the Secretaries of State for Labour, for Seniors, and for Children and Youth, and to the Minister of Jobs and Families.

\r\n

-Member of Parliament, MP Vince Gasparro, Parliamentary Secretary to the Secretary of State.

\r\n

-Member of Parliament, MP Maggie Chi, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health.

\r\n

-Member of Parliament, Hon. MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, Member of Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group (CEUS).

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

I was pleased to attend the Climate Mayors Leadership Forum on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, representing the City of Toronto and Mayor Olivia Chow in New York City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The purpose of the forum was to convene municipal leaders from across the Great Lakes region to share strategies and commitments to advance climate action, housing resilience, and energy affordability.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The discussions focused on:

\r\n

- Creating a vision for the future of climate action and shifting the narrative from risk to opportunity.
- Integrated strategies for tackling housing and climate crises, ensuring affordable, energy-efficient, and resilient homes.
- Reducing energy burdens through modernization and equitable solutions for families.
- Building resilience against extreme weather events, with lessons from recent hurricanes and wildfires.
- Strengthening U.S. and global mayoral leadership in climate diplomacy.
 

\r\n

Toronto’s participation was essential because our city is a recognized leader in sustainability and urban resilience.

\r\n

 

\r\n

By attending, I was able to:

\r\n

- Share Toronto’s best practices from our climate action plan and housing initiatives.
- Learn innovative approaches to energy affordability and infrastructure modernization.
- Build partnerships which support economic transformation and equitable climate solutions.
- Ensure Toronto’s voice contributes to shaping regional, national and global strategies for climate leadership.
 

\r\n

My schedule included:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- The Climate Mayors Leadership Forum, Cities Initiative Roundtable on Economic Transformation Action Plan Implementation,

\r\n

 

\r\n

- I was honoured to participate as a panellist at the “Fireside Chat for the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative Economic Transformation Action Plan” Launch Event.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The panel participants along with myself included Montreal’s Mayor Valerie Plante, Chicago, Illinois’ Mayor Brandon Johnson, Cleveland, Ohio’s Mayor Justin Bibb. The panel was moderated by St. Catharines, Ontario’s Mayor Mat Siscoe.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Of great interest during the panel discussion to everyone was the successful model created by all three levels of government, including the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to revitalize the mouth of the Don River.

\r\n

 

\r\n

I was further able to elaborate that Toronto remains committed to bold climate leadership and equitable solutions to address housing, energy affordability, as well as climate resilience in the face of extreme weather events.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It a tremendous honour to be Mayor Chow’s delegate in representing Toronto City Council, and our city in contributing to these critical discussions.

1. City Council receive the Mayors and Regional Chairs of Ontario (MARCO) November 7 meeting update to City Council for information. 

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

I am pleased to provide this update for your information following my attendance at the recent meeting on behalf of Mayor Olivia Chow. The meeting focused on critical issues impacting Toronto’s ability to deliver housing and infrastructure, and it was an important opportunity for the City to contribute to national and provincial discussions shaping municipal priorities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The primary goal was to align municipal advocacy on Development Charges (DCs) and infrastructure funding with emerging federal and provincial initiatives, including the Build Canada Homes program and the Build Communities Strong Fund. Toronto’s position emphasized the need for alternative approaches to growth infrastructure that reduce barriers to housing supply.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Discussions included reaffirming municipal leadership in housing affordability through measures to reduce costs for new developments, advocating for predictable long-term funding and streamlined financing to accelerate housing delivery, and addressing significant financial pressures caused by recent legislative changes that threaten municipalities’ ability to fund essential infrastructure.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Participation was vital to ensure Toronto’s voice is heard as federal and provincial partners design programs that directly impact municipal finances and housing delivery. The meeting provided a platform to advocate for funding models that offset revenue losses from mandated Development Charge reductions and to influence national priorities on housing, infrastructure, and public safety.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Advocacy will continue to focus on:

\r\n

-Infrastructure and Housing: Securing long-term, predictable funding to unlock housing supply and support economic growth.
-Homelessness: Expanding mental health and addictions services, increasing supportive and deeply affordable housing, and providing integrated funding for frontline service managers.
-Public Safety: Establishing a sustainable, needs-based provincial funding model for policing.
-Red Tape Reduction: Streamlining provincial processes to free resources for housing solutions.
-Municipal Finances: Reversing cost downloading and ensuring funding for provincially mandated programs keeps pace with real costs.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

I am writing to inform you that I attended the Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM) Caucus meeting in Thunder Bay on October 17, 2025, on behalf of Mayor Olivia Chow. This gathering brought together mayors and representatives from Ontario’s largest municipalities to discuss shared priorities and advocate for solutions to pressing urban challenges.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Key topics addressed included:

\r\n

 

\r\n

-Public Safety and Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE): The caucus expressed concern regarding the province’s proposed legislation to ban ASE programs. OBCM emphasized the importance of ASE in improving road safety and urged the province to adopt a balanced approach—prioritizing school zones, limiting operational hours to align with community use, and setting reasonable speed thresholds before tickets are issued.

\r\n


-Housing Affordability and Infrastructure: Motions were passed calling for GST and PST exemptions for homebuyers and urging the federal government to prioritize energy delivery, transportation, and housing as part of national building projects. These measures aim to make housing more affordable and accelerate the development of complete communities.

\r\n


-Homelessness Response: The caucus renewed its advocacy through the Solve the Crisis campaign and requested that the province prepare a comprehensive 2025/2026 winter homelessness response plan.
 

\r\n

The meeting also included discussions with federal and provincial representatives, including the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Jobs and Families MP for Thunder Bay-Superior North, and the Honourable Kevin Holland, Associate Minister of Forestry and Forest Products, MPP for Thunder Bay-Atikokan. Thunder Bay Police Services Chief Darcy Fleury, also spoke on measures to deal with youth violence and homelessness. Following the session, attendees toured the City of Thunder Bay and Kakabeka Falls.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Ontario’s Big City Mayors collectively represent nearly 70% of Ontario’s population and play a critical role in advancing policies that support safer, more affordable, and more livable communities. Our participation ensures Toronto’s voice remains strong in these conversations.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

In September, I attended the 2025 Urban 20 (U20) Summit as the Mayor’s designate. This marks the City’s second consecutive year in attendance as an ‘Observer City’ at the invitation of the host city. This is a testament that the City’s coordinated efforts to increase its presence on the global multilateral stage over the past year have been noted and are welcomed given our policy leadership and innovations. These include work to advance priorities shared among global cities, including affordable housing, building inclusive, equitable and resilient communities, as well as mitigating the impacts of climate change.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The U20 was launched in 2018 as an international city diplomacy initiative that supports engagement between the G20 and cities by establishing a forum in which cities develop a collective message that emphasizes their unique role in the sustainable development agenda. It brings together international mayors and designates from G20 cities under a common framework and coordinates a joint position to inform the discussions held by national leaders. Contributions from the U20 are shared with the G20 Presidency and Heads of State, enhancing the role of cities as global economic and political leaders. The main output of the U20 process every year is the development of the U20 Communiqué endorsed by U20 cities, which puts forward a united position to contribute their unique urban perspectives to the G20 process. As part of the Communiqué review process, drafts of the document were circulated by City Clerk’s Office – Strategy Protocol and External Relations to City Divisions for input to ensure that Toronto priorities and initiatives were reflected in the final version.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As poignantly stated in the opening statement of this year’s Communiqué, a sense of profound global transformation served as the undercurrent of the discussions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Cities are increasingly facing interrelated challenges including climate change, rising inequalities, digital exclusion, a global housing crisis, disinformation, financial instability, as well as conflict and geopolitical instability. It is critical for cities, now more than ever, to stand together to help shape a collective global renewal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Discussion at the 2025 U20 meeting featured a sharpened focus on housing compared to 2024, particularly regarding affordability. While cities shared their commitment to deploy municipal tools, they collectively identified the need for regional and national investments for making progress and bringing good practices to scale.  For its part, the City of Rome shared its perspective leading a European Mayors for Housing initiative, for which there was broad interest at the U20 table, particularly from North American Cities. Housing was also widely discussed as a means by which to advance shared the priorities in the of addressing climate change, rising inequality, and social tension.

This year, the host city undertook a modified approach to the timing of the U20 Summit, scheduling it two months ahead of the G20 Summit to provide sufficient time for cities to engage with their respective national governments, with the aim of informing the final G20 Leaders’ Declaration. The change in timing gave the City an opportunity to meet with the Canadian G20 Sherpa’s Office, and convey key messaging from the U20 2025 Communiqué surrounding the roles of cities as essential partners in multilateral collaboration, as well as enabling cities to access direct and intermediated sources of urban finance to scale their actions on key drivers of equality and social inclusion.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While in Johannesburg, I undertook over 20 formal engagements, ranging from panel participation, technical sessions and bilateral meetings to site visits and knowledge exchanges with municipal representatives. Even as an Observer City, Toronto was encouraged to contribute to discussions about the fiscal, social, and economic challenges common to municipalities across the globe, and in addition to deliberations about how to build a municipal agenda that focuses on solutions to the greatest threats we face today.

\r\n

 

\r\n

I note that in the last two years, U20 has gained access to G20 decision-makers. In 2025, Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva attended the U20 meeting of delegates in Rio de Janeiro and then took the U20 Communiqué to his fellow heads of state. This year, there was a corresponding South African national government presence and engagement throughout the meeting in Johannesburg. Finally, U20 has set as an indicator of its impact a deepening local government capacity to influence the agenda of future G20 meetings through national governments and in the reach of the Communiqué.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Engagement on this type of multilateral forum is in line with the City’s International Policy Framework (IPF) which was adopted by City Council in 2002. The purpose of the IPF is to position Toronto as a diverse, economically dynamic, creative and caring global urban centre which respects human rights and champions local democratic government. Participation at Summits such as the U20 helps give the City maximum exposure to a broad range of municipal partners worldwide and thereby enhance the City’s international prominence, while providing an opportunity to showcase the City’s innovative approaches to addressing urban challenges. In turn, it is an efficient method to facilitate the exchange of best practices with counterparts, which can lead to ongoing bilateral engagement with the aim of improving the quality of life for residents.

The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, the Executive Director, Housing Development Office and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management recommend that:

1. City Council authorize the extension of the:

a. Sunset Date in the Land Development Agreement between the City and Hines (LDA) and the Undertaking Agreement between the City and Waterfront Toronto, each dated June 28, 2012, to April 30, 2026, solely in respect of the development site shown as Block C1 on Attachment 1 (Block C1), provided that the LDA is also amended to make the City’s obligation to grant a ground lease conditional on City Council’s acceptance of Hines’ proposal for Block C1; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management or his designate to execute the extension agreements and any related documents on behalf of the City.

3. City Council direct the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, Executive Director, Housing Development Office and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to report back in April 2026 on plans for Bayside Block C1, based on City and Waterfront Toronto due diligence and review of development options including, but not limited to, a commercial office proposal from Hines Canada.

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no immediate financial impacts resulting from the recommendations included in this report.

\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 seeks approval to extend the termination date (Sunset Date) set out in the existing Land Development Agreement, dated June 28, 2012, between the City and Hines Canada Management Company II ULC (Hines) for the development site designated as Block C1 (C1) within the Bayside community of the East Bayfront (see map in Attachment 1). The recommended Sunset Date extension would be to April 30, 2026 and only apply to the C1 site. The extension would be for the specific purpose of working with Hines to identify a viable commercial office development at the property and the preparation of a staff report. The extension of the City-Hines Land Development Agreement also requires extension of the Undertaking Agreement and Master Licence Agreement between the City and Waterfront Toronto for the coordination of Bayside, to April 30, 2026. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The extension to April 30, 2026 will not commit the City to accepting an office proposal from Hines for C1. The extension will be conditional on the LDA being amended to make the City’s obligation to grant a ground lease conditional on City Council’s acceptance of Hines’ proposal. The City will have the opportunity to consider the proposal and determine the most appropriate course of action in consultation with Waterfront Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While Hines advances options for a viable commercial office development at C1, City and Waterfront Toronto staff will also consider alternative development options that could be pursued for the C1 site should an office option with Hines not advance. These may include options for affordable housing, a student housing pilot project or another opportunity informed by considerations of funding and investment on City land. City staff, in consultation with Waterfront Toronto, will complete due diligence to determine the most appropriate direction for C1 development and report back in April 2026.

Providing an exemption from taxes will reduce costs to the landlord which will be passed on to North York Harvest Food Bank as a rent reduction. This reduction allows the City to support the food access, workforce development, and social programming led by North York Harvest. This is work that aligns strongly with existing City strategies and policies noted below.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

The establishment of the Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) Training Centre will follow a phased financial approach to support both the development of the training space and the delivery of ongoing programming. The City will provide up to a total of $2.5 million in funding to Family Service Toronto, with up to $1.5 million in 2025 and up to $1.0 million in 2026, to support the construction and interior fit-out required for the fourth floor of 355 Church St., as outlined in Appendix “B”.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2025, up to $1.5 million will be repurposed from within the existing TCCS operating budget in the 2025 Operating Budget for Social Development to initiate the transformation of the fourth floor, including design development, permitting, and early-stage construction. This will continue in 2026, where up to $1.0 million will be allocated from within the existing budget to complete the fit-out and commissioning of the space, pending council budget approval. The funds will be transferred to Family Service Toronto, the property owner, under a formal agreement that may outline, among other things, reporting requirements, performance standards, and accountability measures.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed Lease will provide the City with the Leased Premises for nominal rent during the initial 10 year term and in accordance with the terms of the Lease. The City will be responsible for all operating costs for the Leased Premises, including utilities, maintenance, and shared building costs, which will be managed through the Lease Agreement with Family Service Toronto. There will be incremental operating expenses of using the leased premises as the TCCS Training Centre. Any financial impacts arising from operating the Training Centre will be submitted through future budget processes for Social Development, as required, for consideration along with other City priorities, subject to the City's financial and resource capacity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Training Centre will be operated by Gerstein Crisis Centre, in partnership with TAIBU Community Health Centre, Canadian Mental Health Association Toronto Branch and 2 Spirited People of the 1st Nations under a Service Agreement with the City. The Agreement will define roles in training delivery, staffing, program integration with TCCS operations, and governance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property is already exempt from taxation under section 3(1)(12)(iii) of the Assessment Act. The leased premises will be designated as a Municipal Capital Facility under the City of Toronto Act, 2006, resulting in no net impact to the City in property tax revenue.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have reviewed this report and agree with the information as presented in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Toronto is advancing its commitment to non-police-led mental health crisis response by establishing a dedicated Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) Training Centre.

\r\n

This investment marks a critical step in expanding the City’s emergency response system and advances SafeTO, Toronto’s ten-year community safety plan’s vision to prioritize prevention, equity, and community wellbeing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The establishment of the TCCS Training Centre marks a critical step in embedding TCCS as a permanent and professionalized component of the City’s emergency response system, alongside the Toronto Police Service, Toronto Fire Services, and Toronto Paramedics Services, each of which operates its own dedicated training facility.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The TCCS Training Centre establishes Toronto as a national leader in equity-focused crisis response, reducing reliance on enforcement-led models and addressing the disproportionate impacts of traditional emergency services on Indigenous, Black, racialized, and other equity-deserving communities. To be operated by Gerstein Crisis Centre in partnership with TAIBU Community Health Centre, 2-Spirited People of the 1st Nations, Canadian Mental Health Association Toronto Branch, and Findhelp 211, the Centre will build sector-wide capacity by extending training to City staff, community partners and residents and embedding equity, collaboration, and consistency at the heart of Toronto’s emergency response system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report seeks City Council authority to:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- negotiate and execute a nominal, long-term lease agreement (the “Lease”) with Family Service Toronto, as landlord, for the fourth floor at 355 Church Street (the “Leased Premises”) to establish the TCCS Training Centre; 

\r\n

- negotiate and execute a funding agreement with Family Service Toronto, as owner and landlord, for the construction and fit-out of the Leased Premises to make the space fully functional for occupancy and use as the TCCS Training Centre;

\r\n

- negotiate and execute funding agreements with the Toronto Community Crisis Service training delivery partners for the provision of services for the TCCS Training Centre;

\r\n

- designate the Leased Premises as a Municipal Capital Facility; and,

\r\n

-  negotiate and enter into a service agreement with Gerstein Crisis Centre and other partners to lead the training delivery and provide operational oversight of the TCCS Training Centre.

\r\n

There are no immediate financial impacts expected to the 2025 Budget Year arising from the recommendations contained in this report. The Mount Dennis Community for All Action Plan (Attachment 1) includes a combination of actions for the City, the Learning Enrichment Foundation, and Mount Dennis community. Actions for the City can be completed within existing grant programs, policies, and services, and there are no anticipated budget impacts for 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Should there be a need for future resources over the ten-year life span of the action plan, costs to implement any enhanced measures will be included in responsible City Division, Agency and Corporation future budget requests for Council's consideration.

\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":"

The Mount Dennis community is a neighbourhood that is undergoing transformation. New development and transit investments will soon make the Mount Dennis area one of the most transit accessible locations in the city. Currently, Mount Dennis is among the few Toronto communities where families and individuals can secure affordable housing. It has also historically been an affordable and diverse neighbourhood for a diverse population and is home to many new immigrants, Black residents, low-income households, vulnerable seniors, and youth.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The increased development and transit investments will bring much needed connectivity and housing supply to the city, but may also bring pressures of displacement, increasing housing costs, and physical, social, and economic changes that will impact current Mount Dennis residents. Without targeted and system-wide strategies and supports, residents of historically underinvested neighbourhoods, such as Mount Dennis, face greater risk of disruption and harm from rising development pressure. As such, there is a need for the City to introduce measures to guide growth in ways that benefit current and future Mount Dennis residents.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council adopted the Mount Dennis Secondary Plan in July 2022, as a result of the Picture Mount Dennis Planning Framework Study completed in 2022. City Council also directed staff to establish a community development plan using an anti-displacement lens and to require future development applications to respond to its City Council-adopted recommendations. The community development plan is also intended to support implementation of the policies of the Mount Dennis Secondary Plan and also introduce anti-displacement measures for the Mount Dennis community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report responds to Council's requests and recommends Council adopt the Mount Dennis Community for All Action Plan (the Action Plan) proposed in this report as the community development plan. This report also recommends that Council request staff to establish a City of Toronto interdivisional working group to implement immediate and longer-term measures introduced in the Action Plan. The development of the Action Plan is a community-led and community-focused process that reflects the voices of Mount Dennis residents.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City has worked closely with the Learning Enrichment Foundation (LEF), a community agency in Mount Dennis, to support community engagement in development of the action plan. The City provided funding of $50,000 to LEF for the delivery of the People’s Summit focused on anti-displacement strategies and priorities for the Action Plan. LEF contracted Untitled Planning to assist with the design and implementation of the summit and completion of a final report on the summit activities and findings. LEF also convened a stakeholder working group to collaborate on the design of the People's Summit and co-development of recommendations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Action Plan (Attachment 1) introduces a number of actions that are aimed at:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Preserving housing and commercial affordability, including the launch of a community-led land trust and development of an equity scorecard to measure the impact of development on the community;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Promoting anti-displacement measures for businesses and residents, including the establishment of a community-led Anti-Displacement Education Fund, with investments from the City to support anti-displacement initiatives led by community groups and non-profits;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Enhancing public spaces for community use, including initiating the return of the Mount Dennis Community Hall to community; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Establishing a pro-active strategy to implement and monitor the delivery of the Mount Dennis Community for All Action Plan, including the establishment of a Mount Dennis community partnership table and engagement with Indigenous and Black communities.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition, the report recommends the establishment of a collaborative framework between the City of Toronto and the Mount Dennis community to deliver the action plan for the residents of Mount Dennis over the next ten years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report and the Action Plan have been developed in consultation with the Action Plan interdivisional working group members from Social Development, Economic Development & Culture, City Planning, Development Review, and Parks & Recreation, in addition to consultation with Transportation Services and the Indigenous Affairs Office.

This report provides an update on the implementation of both the Reconciliation Action Plan and projects co-created and co-led by City of Toronto divisions and Indigenous community partners between April 2022 and October 2025.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since implementation, a growing number of City divisions have taken steps to lead Reconciliation initiatives, from 13 divisions in 2022 to 21 this year as outlined in Appendix 1. Appendix 2 summarizes Reconciliation efforts undertaken by 9 City agencies and corporations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Notable cumulative investments in Reconciliation in the first four years of the plan include:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Housing: $120.568 million in capital and operating grants, subsidies and financial incentives to 13 Indigenous housing providers and Indigenous organizations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Indigenous Funding Framework: $7.040 million in grants to support the \"take what you need, leave what you don't\" community basket approach to funding.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- The Spirit Garden Project: $21.000 million to install a prominent, publicly accessible Residential Schools Monument in response to Call to Action 82.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Indigenous Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship: $8.817 million in capital expenses and $2.769 million in operating expenses to support an Indigenous-led space with programming, services and supports for Indigenous entrepreneurs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Toronto Shelter and Support Services: $18.781 million in operating grants to Indigenous Shelter and Support Service providers and $3.506 million in capital costs to build shelter space for Indigenous communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Indigenous Arts and Culture: Economic Development and Culture provided $0.991 million to celebrate Indigenous arts and culture, including grants to enable community-led Indigenous cultural initiatives such as exhibitions, workshops, and community gatherings; funding for major new public artworks at Humber Bay Shores Park,  Ethennonnhawahstihnen’ Library and Community Recreation Centre, and the Glen Road Pedestrian Bridge; and support for ongoing programming and partnerships with Indigenous communities. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Any additional funding required to advance the City's Reconciliation priorities will be submitted through future budget processes for Social Development and relevant City Divisions and Agencies, as required, for consideration along with other City priorities, subject to the City's financial and resource capacity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also recommends one-time funding of $0.350 million to the Toronto Aboriginal Support Services Council. Funding for this is available within the 2025 Operating Budget for Social Development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have reviewed this report and agree with the information as presented in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

In April 2022, City Council adopted the Reconciliation Action Plan (the Plan) to guide future discussions and Council recommendations that advance truth, justice, and Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous People, and the City’s Commitments to Indigenous Peoples. The Plan includes 28 actions and 141 sub-actions to guide City staff.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Over the past three years, the Plan has guided City divisions, agencies, and corporations to take unprecedented and bold steps toward Reconciliation with Indigenous communities. The City has seen the most impactful outcomes when initiatives are rooted in strong community partnerships and a commitment to co-creating[1] solutions with Indigenous communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report reflects on the first four years of implementation, highlighting progress, challenges, and opportunities. It showcases strong and authentic collaborations between City divisions and Indigenous communities that created programs anchored by the principles of self-determination and co-creation, offering transformative support for urban Indigenous people. The report also acknowledges key lessons learned in the engagement, design, implementation and monitoring of the Plan which has led some community partners to view their collaborations with City divisions as separate from the Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since 2022, 103 of the 141 sub-actions have started and are in progress; 3 are completed. While internally focused work has advanced some of the actions outlined in the Plan, the City has more work to do to ensure that co-creation with urban Indigenous communities is consistent and foundational to further Reconciliation efforts. In doing so, Reconciliation efforts will be community-centred, effective and meaningful.

\r\n

 

\r\n

With the recent restructure of the Community and Social Services portfolio, the Indigenous Affairs Office, along with oversight and support for the Reconciliation Action Plan now fall under the leadership of the Deputy City Manager, Community Development and Social Services. This move offers an opportunity for reflection on the City's community development approaches to Reconciliation, and to continue to rebuild trust with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities in Toronto so that the next leg of our Reconciliation journey is grounded in mutual understanding and meaningful relationships.

\r\n

 

\r\n

[1] Co-created initiatives are recommended to Council for approval before implementation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

RESOLVED, that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities calls on the federal government to urgently accelerate the implementation of the MMIWG Calls for Justice, including through dedicated and adequate MMIWG funding to Indigenous rights-holders and governments working to address violence against Indigenous, women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people;

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as presented in the Financial Impact Section. 

","agendaItemSummary":"

The City remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing reconciliation and equity through sustained funding for Indigenous, Black, and other equity-deserving communities across Toronto. Guided by strong partnerships, strategic investments, and community-informed frameworks that address systemic barriers and historical underinvestment, the Community Funding Unit administers responsive funding that enables community-led, culturally grounded organizations to deliver high-quality and accessible programs and services. This report outlines the City’s ongoing efforts to strengthen fairness, transparency, and responsiveness in its funding approach and provides updates on three major funding programs:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Indigenous Funding Framework (IFF): Supports Indigenous organizations through a flexible, self-determined funding model.

\r\n

- Black Mandated Funding Framework (BMFF): Provides targeted funding and capacity-building for Black-led organizations.

\r\n

- Community Service Partnerships (CSP): Social Development’s largest funding stream, now updated to enhance equity-focused goals and accountability practices.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Indigenous Funding Framework (IFF), approved by City Council in December 2024, sets out how the City supports Indigenous organizations. It uses a flexible funding model called “take what you need, leave what you don’t,” which allowed 24 Indigenous groups to share $1.95 million in funding. This Framework is rooted on principles of self-determination and mutual respect and includes an implementation plan that focuses on evaluation and strengthening of granting processes for Indigenous communities. In May 2025, the Toronto Aboriginal Support Service Council (TASSC) hosted a celebration feast to officially launch the Framework and a deepening of the City’s relationship with Indigenous communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Black Mandated Funding Framework (BMFF), adopted in November 2023, continues to shape an ecosystem of support for Toronto’s diverse Black communities. In 2024-2025, $2.125 million in funding was distributed across 49 organizations which included Black Francophone, newcomers, 2SLGBTQ+ and youth serving groups. Social Development also expanded enhanced organizational mentorship and trusteeship supports, improved access to funding application and capacity building supports through an eligibility self-assessment tool, and deepened engagement with sector and community partners. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Community Service Partnerships (CSP) program, Social Development’s largest and longest standing funding stream, supported over 2.6 million Toronto residents in 2024. This report details the recent updates to this funding program. As part of phase 1, it introduces an updated model that incorporates new grant pillars, equity-focused measures and an enhanced monitoring and evaluation framework. These changes are designed to keep programs stable while laying the groundwork for a more equitable, transparent and impact-driven grant process that is responsive to community needs and rooted in strong sectoral partnerships.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2025 Operating Budget of $32.197 million gross and $31.314 million net for the Community Partnership Investment Program in Social Development ensures the timely delivery of social services by not-for-profit, grassroots and resident-led groups. This report includes an overview of all grants created and approved with delegated authority between October 2024 and September 2025. These grants supported a variety of projects that included resident led initiatives that supported local, place-based activities, youth violence prevention, programs created by youth for youth, and community healing efforts after violence incidents.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Toronto faces one of the highest youth unemployment rates in Ontario, at 19.7%, highlighting the ongoing challenges many young people are facing in accessing stable and meaningful employment. Indigenous, Black, newcomer, and 2SLGBTQ+ youth experience the greatest barriers, including limited access to networks, training opportunities, and pathways into stable work.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City of Toronto employs more youth, aged 15 to 29, per capita, than any other Canadian municipality. Each year, over 16,000 youth are employed across the City system. Building on this strength, the City is taking steps to improve equitable youth employment and create clearer pathways from skill development to lasting careers, guided by Council direction and aligned with key Council-approved strategies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report provides an overview of the City’s youth employment programs. Attachment 1, City of Toronto Youth Jobs Inventory, provides a comprehensive inventory of 40 youth-specific employment programs offered across 10 City divisions, agencies, and corporations. Attachment 2, Case Studies of Toronto Youth Employment Pathways, provides case studies of how youth move through training, work experience, mentorship, and into careers through these programs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While Toronto is a leading municipal youth employer, stronger coordination and investment across governments is needed. Limited provincial funding, and the seasonal nature of federal programs like the Canada Summer Jobs, highlight the need for a more aligned, multi-government approach to meet the needs of Toronto’s youth labour market.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2026, the City will focus on key actions to improve youth employment:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Address barriers in hiring by reviewing and reforming practices like police reference checks, simplifying qualifications, and making job postings clearer, accessible, and more inclusive.

\r\n

- Modernize recruitment systems with digital tools, data insights, and plain language for better transparency, and efficiency.

\r\n

- Strengthen entry pathways through internships, and early talent programs to support smoother transitions into public service careers.

\r\n

- Expand partnerships through the Youth Employment Table and the upcoming Toronto Youth Employment Charter.

\r\n

- Create local jobs through major events like FIFA World Cup 2026™ and the municipal election.

\r\n

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no immediate financial impacts associated with the recommendations in the report. There may be future financial implications to the following:

\r\n

 

\r\n

Emergency Family Shelter Support (EFSS) Program

\r\n

This program helps meet the needs of families who require temporary shelter. Each year, the program’s budget is adjusted based on expected demand and available space in the family shelter system. If more families need shelter than anticipated and/or available, there may be financial pressure to the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The EFSS program is intended as a temporary support measure, with the overarching goal of ensuring sufficient space and resources are available for families with children and pregnant women when required.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Funding for the EFSS program is included in the 2025 Operating Budget for Toronto Shelter and Support Services (TSSS). The budgeted amount for EFSS program is anticipated to reduce over time as new family shelter beds become available through the Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy (HSCIS).  As these new resources become available, the need for the EFSS program is expected to decrease and eventually be phased out.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Ongoing monitoring of the program will be required to ensure resources are allocated effectively to areas of needs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Dedicated Refugee Service System

\r\n

As refugee claimants continue to arrive and with the federal Interim Housing Assistance Program (IHAP) with funding available until 2027, TSSS is implementing operational measures to build a dedicated refugee system that is financially sustainable. These measures include setting targets for length of stay, strengthening case management and outreach, and ensuring timely refugee applications. The purpose of these measures is to reduce the number of refugee claimants needing shelter and help those in the system transition more quickly.   

\r\n

 

\r\n

Discussions with the federal government on the current IHAP agreement are in final stages. TSSS remains committed to supporting refugee clients and ensuring they have access to essential services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Research Agreements

\r\n

Funding for research is included the 2025 Operating Budget for TSSS and any future research will be accommodated within each year's existing budget.

\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 Shelter and Support Services (TSSS) continues to manage the largest municipal shelter system in Canada amidst unprecedented demand, driven by the housing affordability crisis, limited income supports, and the continued arrival of refugee claimants seeking shelter supports. In response to operational pressures City Council directed TSSS to enhance transparency, equity, and accountability in shelter access through CC28.2 - Identifying and Addressing Pressures in the Refugee and Emergency Shelter System.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report responds to City Council’s direction to provide a status update on the implementation of all recommendations in the fourth quarter of 2025. As of November 2025, 15 of the 24 directives under CC28.2 have been completed, 4 are in progress and will be completed upon adoption of this report, and 5 remain in progress or represent ongoing work.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also provides updates on key initiatives related to the refugee-serving and base shelter systems, including:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Access to Shelter Framework – A structured, transparent process guiding future decisions on shelter eligibility, aligned with the Toronto Housing Charter, human rights obligations, and equity principles. The framework was reviewed by the Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unit (CABR), the Toronto Newcomer Office (TNO), and the City's Human Rights Office, and included formal engagement with the Housing Rights Advisory Committee's (HRAC) Supporting Unhoused Rights Holders Working Group.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Operational measures aimed at advancing establishment of a dedicated refugee service system and addressing financial pressures.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Emergency Family Shelter Support (EFSS) Program – Short-term accommodation support for families during periods of high shelter demand to ensure children are not left unsheltered.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Additional Council-directed Actions through CC28.2 and EC22.12 – Progress on data and outcome tracking, training, capacity building, refugee sector engagement, equity initiatives, human rights-based learning sessions, the renewal of AccessTO public education campaign for undocumented residents, and partnerships with hospitals and health care providers.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Research and Data Sharing Partnerships – Establishing agreements with individuals, external organizations and research institutions to conduct evaluation and research to inform and develop best practices to support people experiencing homelessness. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The report outlines next steps to implement the Framework, refine EFSS program operations, reduce pressures in the refugee service system, strengthen data-informed decision-making, continue equity-focused training, and continue advancing other recommendations under CC28.2. Together, these measures aim to improve fairness, transparency, and equitable access to shelter and housing for all Torontonians.

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no financial impacts resulting from the adoption of the recommended by-law amendments.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Signage updates and by-law enforcement will continue to be managed within Parks and Recreation's and Municipal Licensing and Standards' operating budgets respectively. Any incremental funding or additional resource requirements will be requested through future staff reports to Council and/or in subsequent budget processes, to be considered alongside other City priorities.

\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 responds to City Council direction in 2025.MM29.8 to review Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 608, Parks, to remove outdated, burdensome or unnecessary provisions. Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 608 (the \"Parks By-law\") is the governing by-law for City of Toronto parkland. It regulates park activities so that parks are protected, safe and enjoyable for everyone. The by-law aims for a balanced approach to enable a broad range of park activities while also ensuring public safety and protection of City property and the natural environment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends 25 immediate updates to the Parks By-law. These include amendments to: i) address evolving conditions, circumstances, technologies and activities affecting the use or protection of parks; ii) align the by-law with other City by-laws and policies; and iii) reflect federal and provincial legislation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The report also identifies by-law topics and areas where Council-directed policy work is currently in progress that may result in by-law amendments in the near future (e.g., Food and Beverage Strategy for parks; rules for micromobility devices), as well as other topics that require more extensive future policy work to ensure the by-law remains reflective of evolving community and user needs (e.g., regulations for boating and mooring, social gathering size, and use of barbecues). In most cases, the policy development process for these topics will include community engagement and dedicated project work, with the level of effort tailored to the scope of each topic.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Some issues raised in 2025.MM29.8 relate to outdated park signage that is not reflective of the by-law. This report also describes a park sign audit that is in progress to identify and remove outdated and unnecessary park signs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Finally, the report recommends a plan for the by-law to undergo regular reviews every five years, or as required based on changes to the policy environment, to ensure that it is consistently kept up to date going forward. These reviews will include public engagement to increase public awareness of the by-law and to identify public priorities related to parks policy and governance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Parks and Recreation consulted with Legal Services, Municipal Licensing and Standards, Toronto Public Health, Transportation Services, and Environment, Climate and Forestry in the development of this report.

At its meeting on October 24, 2025, the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee considered Item DI14.7 and made a recommendation to City Council. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto is a vibrant city known for its festivals, cultural events, and community gatherings that bring residents together and celebrate our diversity. However, for many people with disabilities, participation in these events can be limited by barriers in physical spaces, communication, and program design. Ensuring that all Torontonians can fully engage in public life is essential to building an equitable and inclusive city.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion calls on the City of Toronto to develop an Accessibility Handbook for Event Organizers — a practical resource to guide event organizer seeking to host events at City facilities that are welcoming and accessible to people with disabilities. The handbook would provide clear standards in plain and easy to understand language, best practices, and checklists to promote inclusive events and event spaces that meet or exceed accessibility requirements while not requiring the expenditure of significant additional funds. By equipping event organizers with the right tools and knowledge, the City can help foster environments where everyone, regardless of ability, can participate, contribute, and feel a genuine sense of belonging.

\r\n

Summary from the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee:

\r\n

The City of Toronto has demonstrated strong leadership in promoting equity and inclusion through initiatives such as the Indigenous, Black, and Muslim Youth Fellowships — programs that empower young people to engage directly in civic leadership and policymaking. Youth with disabilities would bring vital lived experience and insight into accessibility and inclusion within our city.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Creating a Fellowship for Youth with Disabilities would extend the City’s commitment to representation and accessibility by providing meaningful mentorship, professional development, and hands-on experience in municipal government. This program would help ensure that Toronto’s future leaders include the voices and perspectives of people with disabilities, strengthening our collective work toward a truly inclusive city.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information presented in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council suspend the eligibility of Capital Sewer Services Inc., (\"Capital Sewer\") and its affiliated persons, to bid on, or be awarded, any City of Toronto contracts for a period of five years, for contraventions of the City of Toronto’s Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Performance) in Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code. Capital Sewer’s affiliated persons include Capital Sewer’s parent company, Capital Infrastructure Group (“CIG”), and five other of Capital Infrastructure Group’s subsidiaries: Utility Force Construction Inc., Capital Utility Services Inc., CEC Mechanical Ltd., MarkerVac Inc., and Clean Water Works Inc. The Supplier Code of Conduct states that a supplier shall not over-bill, double-bill, retain a known over-payment, fail to notify the City of an over-payment or duplicate payment within a reasonable time, submit misleading information to the City, submit false or exaggerated claims to the City, or bill for goods and services not supplied.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report provides an overview of the City’s investigation into Capital Sewer, summarizing the audit and investigative work completed to date, the inquiries still underway, and the rationale for recommending suspension of their eligibility to continue doing business with the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In March 2024, the City’s internal controls, as well as complaints received through the Auditor General’s Fraud and Waste Hotline, first identified irregularities in change order documentation submitted by Capital Sewer. A change order is a formal, written modification to a construction contract. It is used when work needs to be added, removed, or adjusted from the original scope of the contract. Early analysis of the irregularities revealed significant discrepancies between quotations Capital Sewer provided to the City and those provided directly by subcontractors, indicating potential document alterations and overbilling. This triggered an audit process beginning in December 2024, followed by the City’s engagement of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) to conduct a forensic audit.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While Capital Sewer has committed to restitution and claims to have strengthened internal controls, KPMG has not validated the effectiveness of these new measures, and the full extent of past misconduct is still under investigation. KPMG’s forensic audit is ongoing and will also seek to determine whether further overbilling activity occurred and if additional staff were involved. The findings of overbilling and document alterations have also been reported to Toronto Police Services by Capital Sewer and the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Based on KPMG’s findings to date, KPMG has confirmed that there has been intentional overbilling of at least $1.1 million related to contract 22ECS-LU-03TT for work on the Dufferin Sanitary Trunk Sewer Systems Improvement (the \"Dufferin Project\"). As a result, City staff recommend the maximum allowable suspension of five years for Capital Sewer and its affiliated persons. This suspension is not punitive but necessary to protect public funds, uphold the Supplier Code of Conduct, and safeguard the integrity of the City’s procurement processes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City has exercised its rights under the contract for the Dufferin Project to recover the overbillings detected by KPMG to date and KPMG’s initial audit costs to date.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information included in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request authority to amend Blanket Contract 47025889, issued to EnergyCAP Inc., for the provision of EnergyCAP web hosting and Bill CAPture services to support the City's utility bill payment process. The total amendment being requested is $60,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($61,056 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), increasing the non-competitive contract value from $1,057,297 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,075,905 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) to $1,763,464 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($1,794,501 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This amendment will cover utility bill processing charges through the end of 2025. A new contract with EnergyCAP Inc., for services in 2026-2030 is being procured, following Council's approval of GG24.9 - Review and Renewal of Technology Maintenance Contracts for Sustainment of City Services from 2026-2030.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The EnergyCAP bill processing software is used by City staff to store, analyze, audit, and process approximately 45,000 utility invoices every year, valued at approximately $300 million per year. This includes invoices for all City Divisions as well as three agencies: Toronto Parking Authority, Toronto Transit Commission, and Toronto Public Library. The automation and system integration of EnergyCAP with the City's financial management system minimizes late payment fees, and the software is able to audit all utility expenditures for accuracy. EnergyCAP is also able to support regulatory reporting, City buildings' energy performance tracking, utility budgeting, and financial variance reporting.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Bill CAPture is a module of the EnergyCAP software that uses optical character recognition to extract invoice details and upload the invoices into the EnergyCAP database. Through the upload process, the module automatically audits the invoice data for accuracy, using a series of metrics based on cost and energy consumption patterns. Bill CAPture, in conjunction with EnergyCAP, alerts staff to potential errors on utility bills and minimizes the risk of overcharges.

\r\n

 

\r\n

EnergyCAP and Bill CAPture were instrumental in the City's ability to proactively identify unusual invoicing patterns that led to an avoided potential loss of $2.5 million in 2019. Details of the investigation are detailed in 2025.AU9.10 - Fraud Investigation Involving Multiple City of Toronto Electricity Accounts.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Over the past several years, staff have worked to standardize and centralize the processing of utility invoices. While some invoices were previously managed through EnergyCAP, others were handled manually. Recently, all utility invoices for City Divisions and the three Agencies have been transitioned to a standardized system using EnergyCAP and Bill CAPture.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Additionally, as part of the City's 5-Year Energy Conservation and Demand Management Plan, developed in response to provincial regulation, the City is required to report on its total renewable energy generation. This tracking and reporting were previously managed manually by reviewing individual invoices but has now been automated by enrolling these accounts through Bill CAPture. The addition of new renewable energy generation accounts has further increased the volume of data processed through the system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As Bill CAPture use costs are calculated based on the number of invoices processed and the number of energy accounts enrolled, an amendment is required to enable the continued use of this critical software.

City Council authorize the General Manager, Toronto Shelter and Support Services to enter into the necessary amending agreement on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Chief Procurement Officer and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor to extend the term of non-Competitive Blanket Contract Number 47023371 with 2790584 Ontario Inc for Catering at various Toronto Shelter and Support Services locations to August 31, 2026.

","financialImpactWep":"

Non-competitive blanket contract number 47023371 with 2790584 Ontario Inc is set to expire on December 31, 2025. 2790584 Ontario Inc has sufficient target value ($13,250,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax, $13,483,200 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) but an extension to August 31, 2026 is requested.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To date, $1,852,276 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($1,884,876 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) has been spent and $8,489,310 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($8,638,722 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) is committed in Contract Release Orders. The remaining unused contract value is $11,397,824 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($11,598,426 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), and the remaining non-committed value is $4,760,690 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($4,844,478 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

\r\n

 

\r\n

It is expected that $300,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($305,280 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) will be spent during the remainder of 2025, and $1,600,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax ($1,628,160 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) will be spent from January 1 to August 31, 2026. These funds will come from Cost Centres F01722 (Alexandra Hotel) and F01723 (Scarborough Women’s Shelter - Travelodge) and Cost Element 5055 (Food Allowances) for 2025 and 4116 (Catering Services) for 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The target value of all blanket contracts is non-committed and will be expensed at time of commitment to allow the City to continue to pay the vendor. The actual spending against these contracts will be limited to the Approved Toronto Shelter and Support Services Operating Budget.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information included in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request authority from City Council to extend the term of Non-Competitive Contract Number 47023371 with 2790584 Ontario Inc for ongoing catering services at two temporary shelter hotel sites and ad hoc catering services at winter respite sites from December 31, 2025 until August 31, 2026, exceeding the cumulative five (5) year threshold.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A competitive procurement process is underway to identify a catering provider for these locations beyond the end of this contract. This extension is required because of the additional time needed to implement a new, cost-saving approach to catering procurement for the division and its Purchase of Service shelter operators.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Shelter and Support Services has been exploring options to extend the pricing arrangements in competitively sourced blanket contracts to Purchase of Service shelter operators. Legal Services and the Purchasing and Materials Management division agree that Chapter 195-6.5 of the Toronto Municipal Code provides the necessary legal basis for this change, but additional time is required to incorporate new language into the solicitation and contract documents. By including provisions that allow Purchase of Service shelter operators to piggyback on competitively sourced blanket catering contracts, the City aims to achieve cost savings for Purchase of Service shelter operators through economies of scale, access to larger catering providers, and the ability to leverage the City’s negotiating power. Since Purchase of Service shelter operations are funded through the City’s Operating Budget, this initiative would result in cost savings for the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Services in temporary shelter sites located in hotels can be terminated at no cost to the City if that site closes before the end of the contract.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This procurement was issued under the exception related to emergency where 2790584 Ontario Inc, and the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1E).

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195 - 7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).

City Revenue Over the Term

\r\n

 

\r\n

Under the new agreement, the City will receive substantially higher and escalating base licence fees over the duration of the contract. With two sports bubbles operating by the 2027 season and an annual three per cent inflationary increase, the City is projected to receive approximately $2.19 million in base licence fees during the initial 10-season term. Should the City exercise the optional extensions, the first five-season renewal option is expected to generate an additional $1.43 million, and the second renewal term option would generate $1.65 million, for a total potential base licence revenue of approximately $5.27 million over a full 20-year period.

\r\n


In addition to the base licence fees, the City will receive a percentage fee equal to six per cent of the Licensee’s gross revenues (before Harmonized Sales Tax and excluding up to $50,000 in charitable donations). This represents a more stable and transparent revenue model than the previous agreement, which was based on a percentage of net revenue and therefore subject to operational cost variations. Under the new structure, City revenue is tied directly to gross earnings, offering improved predictability and reduced administrative complexity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Licensee will be responsible for all applicable utilities and realty taxes in additional fees.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reserve Fund Contributions

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Eglinton Flats Tennis Facility Maintenance Reserve Fund (XR3204) will be strengthened through a joint capital contribution model that ensures adequate and sustainable funding for resurfacing, maintenance, and related work over the life of the agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Under the proposed terms, the Licensee will contribute $33,314 annually, while the City will contribute $23,795 annually from the licence fee revenue it receives. This results in a combined annual contribution of $57,109 into the Reserve Fund. The City will retain full discretion and final approval authority regarding the use of these funds, ensuring that capital decisions are aligned with municipal asset-management priorities. This enhanced funding structure reduces future pressure on the operating and capital budgets and provides a proactive approach to lifecycle maintenance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Capital Obligations and Buyout Provisions

\r\n

 

\r\n

The new agreement places capital responsibility on the Licensee, who will be fully responsible for the purchase of both sports bubbles as well as all associated site servicing, infrastructure upgrades, installation and dismantling work, and ongoing utilities and realty taxes. The Licensee’s total capital investment is estimated at $4.6 million. The City’s capital obligation is limited to resurfacing the northern court quadrant in 2026 at an estimated cost of $280,000, which has been included for consideration through the 2026 Operating Budget process. Should the City elect not to extend the agreement beyond the initial or renewal terms, the City will be required to purchase the sports bubbles at predetermined, amortized buyout values. These amounts are established at $546,727 per bubble at the end of the initial 10-season term and $251,494 per bubble at the end of the first renewal term. The buyout payment amount for the second sports bubble for the southern quadrant courts shall also include all associated capital expenditures, as negotiated and agreed upon by the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and the Licensee. The amortized approach ensures that buyout costs decline over time, reflecting the aging of the assets and providing predictable financial exposure should the City choose to resume direct operations in the future.

\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 seeks authority for the City to enter into a licence agreement with Premier Racquet Clubs Corp., (the “Licensee”), who will be responsible for operating and maintaining seasonal sports bubbles for tennis and related services (e.g. racquet stringing, equipment retail and rental, etc.) at Eglinton Flats Park.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The new agreement was competitively sourced through a negotiated Request for Proposals issued on March 21, 2025. The winning proposal offers significantly improved community access, modernized amenities, and materially higher and more predictable revenue for the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The previous licence agreement, which had been in place for more than 15 years, has expired. Under the proposed new agreement, winter tennis capacity will be significantly increased with the installation of a second seasonal sports bubble, effectively doubling the available indoor courts.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The initial term of the proposed licence agreement will cover 10 operating seasons, defined as October through April each year. Pre-season construction activities are scheduled to begin in mid-2026, with the first seasonal sports bubble anticipated to be operational by Fall 2026. Both sports bubbles are expected to be in operation by the 2027 season. The agreement also includes two optional extensions of up to five operating seasons each, exercisable at the sole discretion of the City, provided the Licensee remains in good standing and is not in default under the agreement.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request an amendment to the City's existing authority with Salesforce.com Canada Corporation, a Canadian business subsidiary. This report recommends that City Council grant authority to increase the contract amount in the value of $6,751,001 net of taxes and applicable charges ($6,869,819 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) within the five (5)-year term from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2030, under the same pricing, terms, and conditions of the existing agreement.

\r\n

Although the City received authority under the consolidated maintenance report GG24.9 in October 2025 to continue existing services, this increase is necessary to obtain additional licenses and subscriptions that will support the expanded licensing required to realize several Council-directed transformation initiatives for the Municipal Licensing and Standards Division and the Customer Experience Division, respectively.

Salesforce is the City of Toronto’s Enterprise Customer Relationship Management platform. It centralizes, tracks, and manages many customer interactions with the City, including by phone, email, or online portals. The platform supports customers to get the information they need regarding City services, while providing City staff with a centralized location to access information - making it easier to manage interactions with customers.

","financialImpactWep":"

Financial Impact is included in Confidential Attachment 1.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report requests an amendment to the authority established through GG24.9 (Review and Renewal of Technology Maintenance Contracts for Sustainment of City Services from 2026 - 2030), adopted by City Council in October 2025. This amendment would allow the City to execute a contract with Granicus, a Canadian business subsidiary, for licenses and professional services to transition to the latest version of the development tracking platform for Development and Growth Services Divisions. This report requests the establishment of a total ceiling authority, with no commitment to spend the full amount.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City’s Integrated Business Management System is the City's core development tracking and permitting platform. Integrated Business Management System is fundamental to the City's ability to deliver on its strategic goals to deliver housing faster with a focus on affordable housing. Integrated Business Management System supports the operational needs of the Development and Growth Services Divisions, including Toronto Building, City Planning, and Development Review, and enables the City to collect and administer approximately $1.4 billion in annual revenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Integrated Business Management System is powered by a legacy software that is at end-of-life, Amanda Version 4.4, which was first implemented in 1999. Transition to a viable, modern technology platform is critical to ensure the City is able to deliver on key Council priorities, including accelerating the development of affordable housing, and meet legislative requirements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Technology Services Division partnered with the Development and Growth Services Divisions to evaluate options, including a comprehensive, independent third-party market review and jurisdictional scan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends upgrading to the latest version of Amanda (Version 7) to ensure the Integrated Business Management System platform remains sustainable, secure, and capable of supporting the City’s housing objectives and priorities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer’s authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to advise Toronto City Council, pursuant to Chapter 195 of the Toronto Municipal Code, Procurement, Section 195-7.5.B, of a non-competitive contract with Alberici Constructors Ltd., for the emergency roof replacement at the Humber Treatment Plant Operations and Control Centre, for  a total value of $1,741,076, net of all taxes and charges ($1,771,719 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The issuance of this non-competitive contract was a matter of extreme urgency, as during construction, demolition revealed multiple cracks and leaks in the existing roof. Immediate action was required to protect staff health and safety, ensure uninterrupted wastewater treatment operations, limit impacts to existing contract warranties and mitigate the risk of costly future repairs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This procurement proceeded under the exception code related to Emergency where the goods or services are required as a result of an emergency which would not reasonably permit the solicitation of competitive submissions and the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1.G.).

The Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that:

\r\n


1. City Council, in accordance with Section 195-8.5 of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, grants authority to Corporate Real Estate Management and Purchasing and Materials Management Division to enter into a construction contract in the form of a CCDC-14 to the Kilmer Group and Tricon Residential (Kilmer-Tricon, the “Developer”) for a maximum upset amount of $40,976,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($41,697,777 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) in addition to the amount identified in Confidential Attachment 1 based on the agreed upon class B cost estimate.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council grant authority to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with the Chief Procurement Officer and the Chief, Toronto Paramedic Services, to execute any necessary purchase order amendments with a value exceeding $500,000, or more than 10 percent of the original commitment, for which Committee or City Council approval would normally be required under City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71, Financial Control and City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement provided that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. the purchase order amendment is necessary to enable the City to respond to the Developer’s request(s) for approval, consent, or agreement to any action, document or plan related to the design and construction of the Toronto Paramedic Services Multi-Function Station 03, and where such approval will impact the critical path of the delivery of mixed-income housing (the Residential Project), the City shall within seven working days after receipt of a request in writing for an approval, respond to the Developer in writing to ensure that the timelines are met for the construction of the Toronto Paramedic Services Multi-Function Station 03 at 610 Bay Street;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. the appropriate additional funding will be requested in the annual Capital Budget submissions for Toronto Paramedic Services budget;

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. the terms and conditions of any amending agreements are acceptable to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, the Chief Procurement Officer, and the Chief, Toronto Paramedic Services in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor;

\r\n

 

\r\n

d. any amending agreements are completed in accordance with the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, and associated policies and procedures; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

e. a report summarizing any amendments made under this authority is submitted to the appropriate Committee and / or City Council for information on an annual basis.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council authorize the public release of Confidential Attachment 1 following the project close out of the construction of Toronto Paramedic Services Multi-Function Station 03.

","financialImpactWep":"

The total estimated value of the required construction agreement is for the maximum upset amount of $40,976,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($41,697,777 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), based on the agreed upon Class B cost estimate issued by Kilmer-Tricon on October 22, 2025, in addition to the amount identified in Confidential Attachment 1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The construction contract amount will be negotiated with the Developer before Kilmer-Tricon submits the Class A cost estimate in February 2026. If the Class A cost estimate is lower than the agreed maximum upset amount, the construction contract will reflect the lower value. Contract execution and issuance of a purchase order, are contingent on budget approvals by City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This approach is recommended to prevent construction delays. The alternative, waiting for committee approval at the General Government Committee in March 2026 based on the Class A cost estimate, would delay Kilmer-Tricon’s planned mobilization at 610 Bay in March 2026 and jeopardize the Developer’s Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation rate lock, exposing the project to interest-rate volatility and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation processing delays, putting construction timing and delivery of both the Multi-Function Station 03 and Residential Project at risk.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Funding for this agreement has been requested in the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan submission for Toronto Paramedic Services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has been advised of the financial impacts associated with this project to be considered along with other priorities in the 2026 budget process.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to seek authority to execute a construction agreement with Kilmer Group and Tricon Residential (Kilmer-Tricon, the “Developer”), following a competitive procurement process completed by CreateTO in 2024. The maximum upset limit of this agreement is $40,976,589 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($41,697,777 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries), in addition to the amount identified in Confidential Attachment 1. This report also seeks to delegate authority to Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with Purchasing and Materials Management Division and Toronto Paramedic Services, to execute any necessary purchase order amendments, with a value exceeding $500,000, or more than 10 percent of the original commitment, for the construction of a new Toronto Paramedic Services Multi-Function Station (MFS 03) at 610 Bay Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In April 2022, City Council adopted a vision for the former Toronto Coach Terminal, located at 610 Bay Street and 130 Elizabeth Street, which prioritizes the delivery of mixed-income housing (the “Residential Project”) and incorporates MFS 03, public realm improvements, sustainable development, design excellence and the adaptive reuse of the heritage-listed former Toronto Coach Terminal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In November 2024, through the adoption of item EX18.4, Council granted staff authority to enter into a lease and project agreement with the competitively procured tenant and Developer to construct MFS 03 alongside the mixed-income residential developments at 610 Bay Street and 130 Elizabeth Street. Under the lease and project agreement, the City, as landlord, would reimburse the Developer for the actual cost of construction.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As work progressed, staff identified that additional contractual mechanisms would better support the effective oversight, administration and delivery of MFS 03. Staff determined that an industry standard design-build construction agreement (CCDC-14) between the City and Kilmer-Tricon, as the delivery agent, would provide the most suitable contractual framework for delivering this project. A construction agreement defines risk allocation between project stakeholders and improves legal compliance with the Construction Act. It also establishes mechanisms for the City to provide oversight of the project, implements a more structured and transparent process for handling changes to the project scope, and includes a structured mechanism for payments, as opposed to reimbursements made under the existing lease and project agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The execution of an additional construction agreement would constitute a material change from the delivery model approved by Council through item EX.18.4 and therefore requires additional Council authority.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Delegated authority to make necessary purchase order amendments is required to enable the City to respond to the Developer’s requests for approval, consent, or agreement to any action, document or plan related to the construction of MFS 03, where such approval would impact the critical path of the broader Residential Project. As MFS 03 will be constructed within the first two floors of the residential tower, the timeline for the Residential Project is directly dependent on the timely delivery of MFS 03. To support coordinated delivery and maintain the overall project schedule, the City must provide a written response to the Developer within seven working days of receiving a written request for approval. Any delay on the City’s part may result in additional financial implications.

\r\n

If the recommendations in this report are not approved, the City will not have access to its enterprise talent management system, eliminating critical learning infrastructure and the ability to track and report on legislatively mandated training. This system is foundational to workforce compliance and capability across Divisions. Its discontinuation would expose the City to compliance risks, disrupt core operational functions, and compromise our ability to develop, retain, and manage talent effectively.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to negotiate and enter a non-competitive contract with Grascan Construction Limited / Torbridge Construction Limited for the design and construction of repairs of select F.G. Gardiner Expressway concrete bents at Bay Street and Yonge Street. The estimated value of the non-competitive contract is $4,838,911 net of Harmonized Sales Tax, $4,924,076 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed repair work will start immediately upon approval and be completed before the FIFA World Cup begins in June 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This project is urgently needed due to the severe deterioration of concrete bents at Bay Street and Yonge Street, which are in critical condition. Although the Gardiner Expressway Strategic Rehabilitation Plan does not cover the section between York to Jarvis because its deck was rehabilitated in 2013, the substructure bents in this section have not been rehabilitated since their original construction. Ongoing chipping of deteriorated concrete has mitigated falling concrete risks, but it increasingly exposes internal reinforcement to further decay, jeopardizing structural integrity. Completing these repairs now will enhance public safety in preparation for increased traffic during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The need for prompt action is also driven by the upcoming major Gardiner rehabilitation projects from Grand Magazine Street to York Street in 2027. Delaying the current repairs could cause emergency interventions during that major construction phase, leading to significant traffic disruptions.

\r\n

The work will involve complete concrete refacing of the damaged bents, removing the old material and installing new reinforcement and concrete. This repair method is consistent with industry and provincial standards, and would protect the bents from further deterioration for an extended period, better aligning the superstructure and substructure at this location for the next rehabilitation cycle.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This non-competitive procurement will be proceeding under the exception code related to the goods or services required as a result of a time constraint, the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1P.).

\r\n

 

\r\n

Pursuant to City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 195-7.3 (D), Standing Committee and Council approval is required for all procurement valued up to or over $500,000, or where the term of the contract exceeds five (5) years or exceeds the projected capital funding for the project as approved by Council. Approval is also required under City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11A., as the procurement value exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has been advised of the financial impacts associated with this report; these will be considered along with other priorities in future budget processes.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with IBM Canada Ltd. (IBM), a Canadian business subsidiary, for IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) Software-as-a-Service subscriptions and support in the amount of $34,300,219 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($34,903,904 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries Recoveries) commencing from January 1, 2026 for a term of two (2) years with option to extend the Contract by one (1) additional one (1) year period.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Enterprise Work Management Solution Program is modernizing the City's work management systems by replacing outdated, siloed systems with a single, unified platform using IBM Maximo technology, which provides an integrated solution that streamlines work planning, asset management, and service delivery. At the time of writing this report, over 1500 staff across six divisions are supported by the on-premises IBM Maximo technology as part of Enterprise Work Management Solution. This report supports the transition of these divisions from the on-premises, end-of-life Maximo platform to the upgraded, cloud-based solution, and rollout to Toronto Water as a net new division using the solution.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Following an unsuccessful Request for Proposal in 2025 to competitively procure IBM MAS for the Enterprise Work Management Solution cloud migration and Toronto Water rollout through a third-party reseller of IBM products, the City is recommending a non-competitive procurement directly with IBM. The City has confirmed that entering into a direct agreement with IBM provides the greatest benefit and least risk for the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Similarly, Corporate Real Estate Management needs to replace its legacy, end-of-life systems with IBM Maximo Application Suite modules, including Maximo Real Estate and Facilities, to ensure operational continuity and compliance as current systems reach end of support. This proposed non-competitive procurement also includes the software licensing and cloud environment required to enable Corporate Real Estate Management’s unified real estate information platform, which was not originally included in the Request for Proposal. This will enable the City to retire end-of-life products and move toward a unified, cloud-based approach for managing critical real estate assets across the City. Adding the volume of Corporate Real Estate Management to this Non-Competitive Procurement helps the City negotiate a lower total cost of ownership and licensing allocation flexibility in addition to other commercial benefits and protections.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This approach will still allow the City to access competitive pricing by avoiding reseller markup and negotiating directly with IBM for flexible licensing terms and enhanced service terms unavailable through third-party resellers. It enables the City to continue to satisfy the Enterprise Work Management Solution Program timelines and objectives, meet Toronto Water's project critical path, and satisfy Auditor General recommendations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Prior to expiry of the proposed agreement with IBM Canada Ltd., the City will reassess competitive procurement options to ensure continued value for money, operational efficiency, and alignment with evolving industry standards.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This non-competitive procurement  will be proceeding under the exception code Section 195-7.1(F) for the Enterprise Work Management Solution cloud migration and Toronto Water rollout components and Section 195-7.1(P) for the Corporate Real Estate Management component, the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1K.).

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer’s authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into two (2) non-competitive contracts for proprietary parts and services for specialized laboratory instruments with Thermo Fisher Scientific (Mississauga) Inc., and Waters Limited for the Toronto Water Laboratory. Both contracts will have a three (3) year contract period. The total amount for both contracts is $236,650 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($240,815 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Water uses specialized laboratory instruments to conduct critical analyses of the city's drinking water and wastewater. These contracts help ensure that the necessary preventive maintenance is performed and that the instrumentation systems remain operational, which is essential for managing risks and meeting regulatory standards.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A non-competitive procurement is required for both Thermo Fisher Scientific (Mississauga) Inc. and Waters Limited as they use proprietary technology in their specialized laboratory instrumentation. The technology and required parts and service are available exclusively from each supplier as sole manufacturers and distributors.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This procurement will be proceeding under the exception related to Exclusive Rights, where both Thermo Fisher Scientific (Mississauga) Inc. and Waters Limited and the City have determined in good faith that both the proposed procurements and the selected suppliers, along with the terms and conditions of the contract, are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1.C).

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195- Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Purchasing Officer's authority of the cumulative five (5)-year commitment, under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71 - Financial Control, Section 71-11A.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request authority to enter into a non-competitive agreement with Symphony Talent, LLC, for skills assessment software. Symphony Talent, LLC, was previously awarded Request for Proposal number 3405-16-3013 on January 1, 2020, for a three-year term, plus two one-year renewals, executed in 2023 and 2024. This contract was extended for one year through a non-competitive procurement and expires December 31, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The skill-testing software provided by Symphony Talent, LLC is a critical component of the City’s recruitment process, supporting approximately 10,000 candidate assessments annually and ensuring recruitment timelines are maintained.

\r\n

 

\r\n

People and Equity is currently leading a capital technology project and working with Technology Services Division to modernize recruitment systems. Vendor demonstrations are ongoing, and a final procurement strategy is expected shortly.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A non-competitive procurement with Symphony Talent, LLC is required as a change cannot be made for economic or technical reasons without causing service delivery gaps and recruitment delays. This will ensure operational continuity and mitigate risks during the transition to a new solution.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer’s authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11(A).

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 request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with Tennessee Marble Company (TMC) to purchase the necessary marble for the Union Station Great Hall flooring restoration.

\r\n

 

\r\n

During the Union Station Revitalization Project (USRP), completed in 2021, only two-thirds of the Great Hall flooring was restored; the remaining one-third was descoped due to budget constraints at the time. This work is now being resumed to address worsening tripping hazards and other safety concerns caused by the unfinished floor, and to ensure its completion in time for Union Station’s 100th Year Anniversary Celebration in 2027. The east and west sections of the Great Hall floor were restored with marble from the Tennessee Marble Company quarry, with only the central portion remaining.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As a designated National Historic Site with a nationally significant impact on Canadian history, the restoration of Union Station must adhere to the requirements outlined in The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada (the Guidelines). All work undertaken on the station must comply with the Guidelines and receive prior approval from Parks Canada, the federal authority responsible for administering the Guidelines. The project team has been working collaboratively with Parks Canada to ensure that all historical conservation requirements are met.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A key requirement of the Guidelines is that the type of marble used in the original construction of Union Station must be used when repairing or replacing any marble elements. The original rose marble used in the Great Hall flooring is currently available exclusively through Tennessee Marble Company, the same quarry that supplied the marble during the original construction of Union Station.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition to meeting requirements set out in the Guidelines, Tennessee Marble Company holds exclusive knowledge of the required stone’s composition and the specialized cutting techniques required to match the original flooring. This expertise is also essential for maintaining the building’s architectural authenticity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This non-competitive contract will be proceeding under the exception related to compatibility, where Tennessee Marble Company and the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1E).

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195 - Purchasing, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each supplier under Article 7, Section 195-7.3D of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71-Financial Control, Section 71-11A.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council directs that Confidential Attachment 1 remain confidential in its entirety, until the procurement processes for all sections of the Gardiner Expressway Rehabilitation Project are complete, as it contains commercial and financial information that belongs to the City of Toronto and has monetary value or potential monetary value.

","financialImpactWep":"

Funding for Gardiner Section 4 (Part 1) is available in the 2025-2034 Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services and is inclusive of the Proposal Fees for the unsuccessful proponents, or Break Fees for all proponents (in the event a procurement is cancelled).

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 13, 2023, City Council approved in principle the Ontario-Toronto New Deal, which includes a provincial commitment to upload the Gardiner and the Don Valley Parkway to the Government of Ontario, subject to a due diligence review still underway. As part of the New Deal, the Province has provided funding for current and future operating and capital expenses related to both the Gardiner and Don Valley Parkway.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to recommend to City Council the use of proposal and break fee mechanisms in the procurement for Gardiner Expressway Rehabilitation Section 4. Proposal fees are offered to partially offset the cost of competing in the Request for Proposal procurement process and are paid to each unsuccessful proponent upon confirmation of their compliance with set criteria, including a compliant technical proposal submission (“Proposal Fee”). Break fees are similarly meant to partially offset proponent costs, but they are made when a procurement is cancelled before it is awarded (“Break Fee”). The amount of the Break Fee is pro-rated based on the timing of the cancellation, to reflect the amount of work completed. These mechanisms were previously authorized by Council and used on the procurement for Gardiner Section 2 - Dufferin Street to Strachan Avenue, a Design-Build project that is nearing the end of the construction phase.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City’s Owner’s Engineer and Technical Advisor, Stantec Consulting Ltd., is currently advancing the design of Gardiner Section 4. Based on the current level of design and engineering completed, it is expected that Gardiner Section 4 will be delivered in two parts. Part 1: Grand Magazine to Spadina Avenue and Part 2: Spadina Avenue to York Street. The two-stage procurement for Part 1 and the subject of this report is targeted to begin with a Request for Qualifications in early 2026, followed by the Request for Proposal phase to which the Proposal Fee or Break Fee would apply. It is expected that construction will begin in 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Design-Build delivery method passes construction risk to the contractor and encourages innovative construction methods to achieve the City’s goals for the project.  This method contributed to the successful delivery of Gardiner Section 2.

\r\n

    

\r\n

In order for the City to evaluate the design element of proposals, proponents will be required to do significant design work (up to 60 percent) throughout the Request for Proposal procurement process. Qualified bidders capable of undertaking such projects expect Proposal Fees to partially compensate unsuccessful proponents for the effort expended on their proposal preparation. Similarly, a pro-rated Break Fee would also be expected in the unlikely event that the procurement is cancelled prior to contract award.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The up-front cost to the City of such fees is justified by, among other things, the quality of proponents that would be willing to bid on the project, the progression of design through the procurement process and robust participation by proponents, as well as the benefits of shifting the design risk from the City to the successful proponent.

The annual property taxes on 2,105 square feet of space (currently taxable) occupied by Central Eglinton Community Centre are estimated at approximately $13,421, comprised of a municipal portion of $8,231 and a provincial education portion of $5,190 based on 2025 Current Value Assessment and 2025 tax rates.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As shown in Table 1 below, providing a property tax exemption for 2,105 square feet of space at 160 Eglinton Avenue East will result in net annual reduction in property tax revenue to the City of approximately $8,231, representing the municipal portion of taxes that is currently payable that will no longer be collected once the leased premises are designated as a Municipal Capital Facility. The provincial education portion of property taxes $5,190 will no longer be required to be remitted to the province once the exemption for the leased premises takes effect.

As the City currently funds the Central Eglinton Community Centre cost of rent (which includes property taxes) through an annual budget allocation there is no net impact on the municipal portion of taxes from the Municipal Capital Facility exemption, as the decrease in municipal tax revenue is offset by a corresponding reduction in the annual budgetary requirement for the community centre. Designating the property leased as a Municipal Capital Facility and providing an exemption from taxes will reduce the rental amount paid by the city. The savings from the designation has been accounted for and included in the 2026 Operating Budget submission for Corporate Real Estate Management.

","financialImpactWep":"

The Leased Premises located at 550 Broadview Avenue are owned by the City of Toronto. Although properties owned by the City of Toronto are exempt from taxation, East End Arts Toronto is a taxable tenant and the Leased Premises are therefore subject to taxation. The annual property taxes on the Leased Premises located at 550 Broadview Avenue for the 1,700 square feet of space are estimated at approximately $7,964, comprised of a municipal portion of $4,884 and a provincial education portion of $3,080 based on 2025 Current Value Assessment and 2025 tax rates.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As shown in Table 1 below, providing a property tax exemption for the 1,700 square feet of space at 550 Broadview Avenue will result in a net annual reduction in property tax revenue to the City of approximately $4,884, representing the municipal portion of taxes that are currently payable that will no longer be collected once the Leased Premises are designated as a Municipal Capital Facility. The provincial education portion of property taxes of $3,080 will no longer be required to be remitted to the Province once the exemption for the Leased Premises takes effect.

As the City currently funds the Councillors' constituency office cost of rent (which includes property taxes) on any leased space as an eligible constituency office expense, there is no net financial impact on the municipal portion of taxes from the Municipal Capital Facility exemption, as the decrease in municipal tax revenue is offset by a corresponding reduction in the actual lease expenditure to be incurred for City Council. There is a net annual savings on the education portion of property taxes of $5,099 as the City will no longer be required to remit this portion of the property taxes to the Province.

The George Street Revitalization Project is a signature initiative of the Downtown East Action Plan, defined by its integration of shelter services, a long-term care home, supportive housing with wrap-around services, and a community hub - providing a continuum of care on a single site.

\r\n


In April 2025, City Council approved a two-phased City-delivered approach to procurement and implementation for the George Street Revitalization Project, in alignment with the approved budget. Through value engineering, the City is advancing Phase 1 as a City-led development that delivers key program components while preserving three heritage properties, a semi-detached residence (two units), and a schoolhouse.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report outlines the Construction Manager at Risk delivery model that will be used to ensure Phase 1 of the project is delivered within the approved capital budget and schedule, and seeks the following delegated authorities to enable the Construction Manager at Risk delivery model:

\r\n

         

\r\n

1. execute the Construction Manager at Risk agreement(s) for George Street Revitalization Project implementation, and perform purchase order amendments for the project duration to avoid delays and exposure to market fluctuations;

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. include Construction Manager at Risk Risk and Reward provisions in the construction management agreement(s); and

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. enter into a non-competitive retainer agreement for external legal counsel to support the execution of the construction management agreement(s).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Construction Manager at Risk model is an industry-recognized approach, especially beneficial for complex, multi-phase developments, that provides greater cost certainty before construction begins and enhances owner oversight. Under this model, the competitively procured construction manager assumes financial responsibility for delivering the project within an agreed guaranteed maximum price, thereby shifting a portion of project risk away from the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Part of the success of the model relies on incorporating real-time market pricing, by tendering trade contracts competitively in sequence prior to the commencement of each phase of the project. The authorities sought in this report would eliminate the need for Council and / or Committee authority for each purchase order amendment tied to a trade contract, allowing timely execution of trade contracts and adjustments necessary to finalize the guaranteed maximum price, and mitigating the risk of delays and exposure to market volatility.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Risk and Reward provisions are also a key to the Construction Manager at Risk model and establish performance-based incentives and penalties that align the construction manager's financial interests with the City’s objectives for cost control, schedule adherence, and high-quality outcomes. The model is increasingly adopted in the construction industry as a strategy to manage ongoing market fluctuations and volatility following the COVID-19 pandemic, and authorities are being sought to include these provisions in the contract.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff are also seeking authority to enter into a non-competitive retainer agreement with Blakes for the provision of legal services to support the drafting, negotiation, and execution of necessary construction management agreements for the George Street Revitalization Project. On account of the magnitude, complexity, and time sensitivities of the George Street Revitalization Project, external legal counsel is necessary. Given this is the first City-led Construction Manager at Risk delivered project, unique features, not typically found in City contracts, need to be developed to support the City’s objectives and optimize the Construction Manager at Risk model. Blakes also has a long history with the George Street Revitalization Project and can provide precise insights and advice on account of their experience with the complexities and challenges that have, and will continue to, present themselves. It is essential to execute this agreement on an expedited basis to avoid delays and maintain the George Street Revitalization Project schedule.

2. City Council direct the City Manager to forward a copy of this report to the Board of Directors of TO Live for their information.

","financialImpactWep":"

The renovation of George Weston Recital Hall is fully funded through private donations fundraised by the Toronto Live Foundation. As part of the Capital Variance Report for the Four Months Ended April 30, 2025, City Council adopted an in-year budget adjustment to increase TO Live's 2025 Capital Budget and Plan by $2.275 million gross, $0 net, fully funded by donations received for a new capital project to refurbish the George Weston Recital Hall at the Meridian Arts Centre.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

Costs for goods and services including professional and construction services required to deliver the project will be funded exclusively through donations raised by the Toronto Live Foundation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Project costs and funding for the George Weston Recital Hall Renovation project have been transferred and included in year as part of Corporate Real Estate Management's 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan, as the collected funds are received.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Future operating impacts to maintain the George Weston Recital Hall will be included for consideration along with other priorities in future budget processes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as contained in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council authority to negotiate and execute any necessary agreements, including non-competitive agreements exceeding $500,000, for the provision of goods and services including professional and construction services required to deliver renovations to the George Weston Recital Hall at the Meridian Arts Centre (managed by TO Live, an agency of the City), utilizing funds raised for this purpose. This report outlines the procurement authorities required to support these renovations, which are solely and fully funded by private donations fundraised and held by the Toronto Live Foundation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As part of the transition of the planning and delivery of TO Live’s 2024-2033 Capital Budget and Plan from TO Live to Corporate Real Estate Management, a governance framework was developed that ensures the timely continuation of in-flight projects that were initiated by TO Live and are at various stages of implementation. The renovation of George Weston Recital Hall is one such in-flight project. The planning and scope-setting phase for the George Weston Recital Hall renovations are underway and must continue to proceed as currently planned and scheduled, based on the confirmed project budget, in order to conclude this phase in January 2026 and allow construction to begin in July 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the renovations are funded through donations, this work was not included in the capital budget planning process and represents an unexpected addition to the project roster. Its unplanned nature requires that synergies with other necessary repair work within the George Weston Recital Hall must be explored as the work packages are developed and existing site conditions are assessed, enabling a coordinated “touch it once” approach. For example, one component of work to be funded through donations is the replacement of the theater seats in George Weston Recital Hall, which will also present an opportunity to complete any necessary flooring or electrical work beneath the seating.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To avoid impacts on already scheduled George Weston Recital Hall programming, all work must be completed by the fourth quarter of 2026. This compressed timeline combined with unplanned nature of the work necessitate flexible procurement authorities to ensure the donated funds are used effectively.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The scope of work supported by the donated funds include flooring, foundation, electrical and several cosmetic updates.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The procurement approach and accompanying authorities being sought in this report, which allow staff to enter into necessary agreements, including non-competitive, and purchase order amendments that would normally require Committee and / or City Council approval, are necessary to meet the accelerated timeline to complete renovations by October 2026. Expedited project delivery is required to ensure minimal impact on ongoing programming at the George Weston Recital Hall.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority of the cumulative five-year commitment for each supplier, under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Procurement By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71- Financial Control, Section 71-11A.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements would proceed under the exception related to cost sharing, where another organization is funding or substantially funding the procurement, and the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1K.).

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to obtain City Council authority for the City (the “Licensor”) to enter into a licence extension and amending agreement (the “New Agreement”) for nominal consideration from His Majesty the King in Right of Ontario, as represented by the Minister of Government and Consumer Services (the “Licensee”), for the continued operation of an air quality monitoring station located at Metro Hall (55 John Street). The New Agreement will: (1) amend the terms of the existing licence agreement (the “Existing Licence”), including the relocation of the air quality monitoring station within Metro Hall; and (2) extend the term of the Existing Licence for an additional period of five years.

\r\n

The New Agreement is necessary to facilitate the relocation of the air quality monitoring station at Metro Hall from the north-east corner of John Street and Wellington Street to the north-east area of the Metro Hall property fronting King Street West. This move will support the relocation of Toronto Fire Station 332 from 260 Adelaide Street West to Metro Hall, while ensuring continued measurement of key air quality contaminants including major components of traffic-related air pollution, identified by the City of Toronto as priorities for air quality improvement initiatives. The air quality monitoring station at Metro Hall is of particular importance because it is the only fixed station in Toronto located at street-level, which is most relevant for human exposure.

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with Axon Enterprise Inc., for Axon Justice Premier licenses to support the Legal Services Division’s digital evidence management needs. Axon Enterprise, Inc., a USA-based supplier, is the sole provider of the proprietary cloud-based Justice Premier platform, which is already in use by Toronto Police Services. The platform enables secure receipt, redaction, storage, and disclosure of digital evidence from enforcement agencies such as Toronto Police Services, Ontario Provincial Police, and Toronto Fire Services. The total estimated value of this procurement is $511,020, net of all applicable taxes and charges ($520,014 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). This includes an annual licensing cost of $170,340 ($173,338 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) for 85 licenses over the initial three-year period.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This solution is essential to support the Prosecutions Unit’s work to provide defendants with disclosure of all evidence in the prosecution's possession or control that is relevant to the charge, in accordance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms if a charge is being disputed in the Provincial Offence Courts. As the Prosecutions Unit processes charges laid by Toronto Police Services, a streamlined and integrated evidence management system is critical for operation continuity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Police Services currently utilizes Axon’s body cameras, Axon’s in car camera systems and Axon’s automatic licence plate readers, with all video evidence uploaded to their instance of Axon’s Evidence.com. This video evidence must then be provided to the Prosecutions Unit for review, redaction, and disclosure when charges are being disputed. By procuring Justice Premier it will be a streamlined process working with Toronto Police. The system has been tailored and customized to meet all City requirements, and Staff in Technology Services Division have been consulted on this procurement to ensure technical compatibility and security. This integrated approach will create significant time and cost savings by streamlining workflows for evidence review, redaction, and disclosure, while maintaining proper chain of custody and security protocols required for court proceedings.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Non-competitive procurements may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and supplier can be justified in good faith based on an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This non-competitive procurement will be proceeding under the exception code Section 195-7.1(C), the City has determined in good faith that both the proposed procurement and the selected supplier, along with the terms and conditions of the contract are beneficial to the City (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 195, Procurement, Section 7.1(C)).

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 195- Purchasing, as the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer's authority for the cumulative five-year commitment limit for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3 (D) of the Purchasing By-Law or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of Harmonized Sales Tax allowed under staff authority as per the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 71- Financial Control, Section 71-11A.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

This report responds to requirements in the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 669, Climate Change Goals and Governance to provide the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy Action Plan (2026-2030) (\"the Plan\"). The Plan, available in Attachment 1, focuses on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to limit future climate change and was co-developed with Divisions, Agencies and Corporations, including Finance and Treasury Services, with further analysis required for future considerations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2021, City Council adopted the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy, along with an ambitious target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 community-wide, and the first implementation plan. Since that time the City's approach to climate has developed substantially and now includes a robust Carbon Accountability framework, delivery of foundational programs and projects, in-house technical greenhouse gas modelling, a sophisticated understanding of the City's climate opportunities and challenges, and advisory tables, all of which informed the development of this Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City is moving toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions community-wide and doing as much as it can as soon as it can, while being sensitive to residents' and businesses' current economic situations and the limitations on what actions can reasonably and legally be implemented by municipal governments. The actions in the Net Zero Strategy Action Plan (2026-30) are designed to benefit Torontonians by contributing to climate resilience, considering affordability and opportunities for economic prosperity, improving health and leading to more equitable outcomes, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Investing in climate action reduces the high cost of adapting to Toronto's changing climate and responding to extreme weather events. The City is already taking action to address climate risks, and existing climate change adaptation actions are identified at toronto.ca/climateready. Key initiatives that promote climate-resilient natural and built environments include the Toronto Green Standard, Toronto Green Streets, the Wet Weather Flow Master Plan, a new incentive for rain barrels on private property, and the Ravine, Biodiversity, Pollinator Protection and Parkland Strategies. Responding to climate impacts is a core component of the City's Emergency Response Plan, as well as key people-centered initiatives such as the Heat Relief Strategy, the Air Conditioner Assistance Program and the Wildfire Smoke Response Strategy. The City also has a long track record on climate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as improving affordability of energy efficient retrofits for homeowners with support from the Home Energy Loan Program, replacing TTC diesel buses with hybrid and battery-electric buses to improve air quality, and introducing the first Carbon Budget for 2025. A comprehensive description of the City's latest greenhouse gas-reduction actions is available in the Net Zero Strategy 2024 Progress Report on Implementation Progress. Strengthening the City’s relationships with Indigenous communities is understood to be critical to climate work however, City staff must continue to build internal capacity so that engagements with Indigenous partners are informed, respectful and reciprocal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Achieving Toronto's climate goals will require coordination with, and prioritization of, strong climate action policy leadership alongside adequate and stable long-term funding, policy and program supports from other levels of government. A shifting policy and program landscape in recent months at other levels of governments is an ongoing source of uncertainty for those looking to take action to reduce emissions and the businesses and supply chains that enable those actions. Since the beginning of 2025, there have been a number of global, national and provincial actions that directly impact the City’s ability to achieve its net zero target, including its ability to establish a successful Building Emission Performance Standards program. These include the removal of a consumer carbon price, the non-renewal of federal funding to support home and building energy retrofits in the recent federal budget, and imposition of tariffs and legislative changes that make more challenging the ability of municipalities to implement climate-positive programs. Given these challenges, along with the affordability and economic competitiveness questions raised by Toronto City Council this past July (2025.EX25.6), City staff have not brought forward a bylaw for consideration and will continue to review opportunities to address these challenges before seeking Council direction on a bylaw. The City will also postpone the data reporting requirement for buildings exceeding 929 square metres (~10,000 square feet) but less than 4,645 square meters (~50,000 square feet) until 2027, while work continues to put in place a reporting help centre and streamline access to building data.

\r\n

 

\r\n

When only City-led actions are considered and federal and provincial policies removed, a significant gap remains between the Business-as-Planned emissions trajectory and the level required to reach the City’s 2040 net-zero community emissions target. More specifically, community-wide modelling to 2040 shows that a combination of the Business-as-Planned actions already being implemented by the City and covered in the Net Zero Strategy Action Plan (2026-2030), and additional quantifiable actions proposed in Attachment 1, anticipate a decline in emissions by approximately eight per cent (1.1 Metric Tons of Carbon Dioxide Equivalent) compared to the Business-as-Usual scenario by 2040. This highlights the importance of coordination with other levels of government and the prioritization of strong climate action policy, programs and funding to achieve Toronto's climate goals.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While community emissions remain challenging to address, the City has made policy changes, dedicated budget and driven operational commitments to make corporate emissions targets more achievable. City corporate modelling shows a smaller gap between anticipated emissions from corporate sources and the 2040 net zero target after planned climate actions are implemented. The greatest corporate greenhouse gas-reducing actions modelled are the TTC Green Bus Program and actions related to decarbonizing existing City buildings and fleets. As directed by City Council through Item 2024.IE12.3, this report includes recommendations to transition the City's own equipment to lower carbon energy sources.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Net Zero Strategy Action Plan (2026-2030) will not meet the 2030 target of 65 percent reduction from 1990 levels, nor will the emissions budget allotted for community-wide emissions be achieved for this time period given the external factors described in this report. Affordability challenges combined with changes to federal and provincial policies have resulted in a Plan which moves climate action forward while supporting residents with their everyday essential life activities, strengthening Toronto's resilience to future risks posed by shifting energy policy, focusing on corporate decarbonization, and ensuring that equity is embedded in climate work going forward.   

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition to the Net Zero Strategy Action Plan (2026-2030), an update on the City’s approach to public electric vehicle charging is provided in Attachment 7 of this report. An update on vehicle idling (responding to a separate City Council direction, 2025.IE19.2 Decision Part 3) is available in Attachment 8.

","financialImpactWep":"

The cost of installations to implement the proposed parking signage pilot options at select locations (i.e., 3 to 4 locations per pilot option) is approximately $150,000. Funding will be included in the 2026 Operating Budget submission for Transportation Services for consideration.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

","agendaItemSummary":"

At its meeting on June 25 and 26, 2025, City Council requested the General Manager of Transportation Services to develop a pilot for improved parking signage. Transportation Services proposes launching a comprehensive Parking Signage Pilot to address longstanding challenges with clarity, visibility, and consistency in Toronto’s parking regulations. Current signage often meets provincial standards but can create confusion when multiple signs are clustered, leading to interpretation delays and high violation rates. In 2024 alone over 1.8 million parking violations notices were issued for curbside infractions. The proposed pilot will introduce four new signage options that include:  

\r\n

 

\r\n

- enhanced regulatory signs with larger fonts, simplified language, and consolidated restrictions;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- informational calendar-style signs for areas with complex time-based rules;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- illuminated digital signs for snow routes, activated during major storm conditions to prevent disruptions to TTC and snow removal operations; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

- enforcement consequence tabs displaying fine amounts or tow-away indicators to reinforce compliance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The plan is to launch the signage pilot in the Spring 2026 with an evaluation period of up to eighteen (18) months at select locations. The pilot will be evaluated through public feedback, QR code surveys, operational data, and enforcement metrics in collaboration with the Toronto Parking Authority, Toronto Police Service, and the TTC. Findings will inform future citywide improvements to enhance user comprehension, reduce infractions, and support accessibility standards.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to seek the authorization for renewal of an agreement between the City of Toronto and the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario, which formalizes and clarifies both parties' respective responsibilities for the operation and maintenance of Ministry of Transportation of Ontario's traffic control devices (i.e., traffic control signals,  traffic signage and pavement markings) that are owned by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario at on-off ramps intersecting the city's major arterial roads, at the Ministry's cost.

The Ministry of Transportation of Ontario and the City have been operating under an existing agreement which came into effect between the two parties on July 1, 2014, and expired on June 30, 2024. This existing agreement requires necessary revisions to recognize changing technology, articulating clearer expectations of both parties and adjustment to the term of the agreement.

\r\n

The term of the previous agreement was for ten (10) years. Under the renewed agreement the term would be for one (1) year from the date of its execution by both parties, with automatic yearly renewals. Either party may terminate this agreement at any time by serving written notice on the other party.  However, termination would not become effective until such time as the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario has made alternative arrangements for the operation and maintenance of the traffic control signals, as well as traffic signage and zone painting at the on-off ramps intersecting the city's major arterial and covered under this agreement.

This report seeks approval to install and upgrade a number of existing bikeway projects that were identified in the Council-adopted 2021 Cycling Network Plan Update, proposed to be installed in the near-term (2025-2027), as a fundamental objective of the Council-adopted Vision Zero 2.0 Road Safety Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The estimated cost to install and upgrade the bikeways, green infrastructure, and Vision Zero Road Safety improvements recommended in this report is $30,400,000. The estimated costs to install missing sidewalks associated with these projects is $586,000. Funding is available for these capital projects, categorized as a service improvement and enhancement, in the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services. Delivery schedule and cost of projects are subject to scope refinement, design advancement, and market pricing. In the event that projects are rescheduled for delivery outside of the near-term (2025-2027) plan, budget requirements for further plans will be reflected in the future years budget submission process.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The annual funding required to maintain the new sidewalks and cycling infrastructure is estimated to be $1.0 million and will be included as part of future Operating Budget submissions for Transportation Services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The reduction of approximately 62 Pay and Display on-street parking spaces proposed in the report as part of the Safer Kingston Road project would decrease Toronto Parking Authority's annual net revenue by an estimated $23,800. All costs associated with the necessary signage changes will be assumed by Transportation Services. All costs associated with the removal of parking machines will be assumed by the Toronto Parking Authority.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial implications as contained in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report seeks City Council authority to install new, and upgrade existing, bikeway projects identified in the Cycling Network Plan Near-Term Implementation Program (2025-2027). The Cycling Network Plan, and the associated Near-Term Implementation Plan adopted by City Council in June 2024, seek to build on the existing network of cycling routes to Connect gaps in the current network, Grow the network into new parts of the city, and Renew existing parts of the network to improve safety.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through this report, Transportation Services is seeking authority for bikeway projects that are proposed to be installed or be tendered for construction in the near-term (2025-2027), for which design and consultation have been completed. No motor vehicle travel lane removals are required for the projects within this report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report seeks Council authority to install 20.5 centreline kilometres of new bikeways -- cycle tracks, bike lanes, multi-use trails, and shared two-way cycling conditions -- through the following projects:

\r\n

 

\r\n

 -  Alton Towers Neighbourhood Connections on Ingleton Boulevard (cycle track and multi-use trail, Ward 23).

\r\n

 -  Keele Street Safety and Bikeway Improvements (multi-use trail, Wards 6 and 7).

\r\n

 -  A Safer Kingston Road (cycle track, Wards 20 and 24).

\r\n

 -  Kipling Avenue Roadway Improvements on Kipling Avenue, Albion Road, Panorama Court, and Penlea Avenue (cycle track and multi-use trail, Ward 1).

\r\n

 -  Malvern Neighbourhood Connections on Breckon Gate, Brenyon Way, Casebridge Court, Crow Trail, Grand Marshall Drive, Venture Drive, and Water Tower Gate (cycle track, bike lane, multi-use trail, shared lanes, and sidewalk, Wards 23 and 25).

\r\n

 -  Martin Grove Cycling Connections on Martin Grove Road, Acorn Avenue, Bloor Street West, Charleston Road, Montesson Street, Rockfield Drive, Swan Avenue, and Wilmar Road (cycle track and shared lanes, Ward 2).

\r\n

 -  Morningside Avenue Connections (multi-use trail, Ward 24).

\r\n

 -  Rathburn Road Bikeway and Safety Improvements (cycle track, Ward 2).

\r\n

 -  Shoreham Drive and Murray Ross Parkway (cycle track, Ward 7).

\r\n

 -  Trethewey Drive Cycling Connections and Intersection Safety Improvements on Trethewey Drive, Clearview Heights, and Municipal Drive (cycle track, shared lanes, and contra-flow bike lane, Ward 5).

\r\n

 -  Weston Road Streetscape and Road Safety Improvements (cycle track, Ward 7).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also seeks Council authority to make by-law amendments associated with improvements to 0.9 centreline kilometres of existing bikeways on the following streets:

\r\n

 

\r\n

 -  Davenport Road (bike lane to cycle track, Ward 9);

\r\n

 -  St. George Street (bike lane to cycle track, Ward 11);

\r\n

 -  Wellesley Street East (traffic and parking, Ward 13); and

\r\n

 -  Willowdale Avenue (cycle track, Ward 18).

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services is seeking Council authority to install new all way stop control, new compulsory stop control, new pedestrian crossovers, and new traffic control signals; reduce existing speed limits; and prohibit right-turn-on-red and left-turns associated with the above projects, as listed in Recommendations 5 through 16.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services is continuing to use the streamlined reporting process for by-law amendment submissions associated with cycling infrastructure projects approved by Council for implementation. Once projects are approved by Council, the streamlined process involves delegation of authority to submit bills directly to Council for a defined period of time after project implementation, which enables Transportation Services to make minor adjustments to constructed conditions without delay and based on local Councillor and public feedback, such as parking adjustments to improve sightlines, adjustments or addition of accessible loading areas, and similar modifications.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also seeks to make minor housekeeping amendments to existing or approved bikeways and their by-laws on the following streets:

\r\n

 

\r\n

-  Dr. Emily Stowe Way (bike lane, Ward 11);

\r\n

-  Harbord Street (parking and loading, Ward 11); and

\r\n

-  Ontario Street (bike lane, Ward 13).

\r\n

 

\r\n

A map of the Cycling Network projects recommended in this report is included as Attachment 1a and Attachment 1b. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The report also responds to a directive from City Council at its meeting on June 26 and 27, 2025 to report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the City’s existing education and engagement programs that encourage cycling lifestyle choices and how these can be expanded upon to involve experiential public engagement.

The General Manager, Parks and Recreation, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1.  City Council authorize the General Manger, Parks and Recreation to accept the in-kind donation of up to $15.0 million from the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto for the purposes of constructing an Asian Garden including amenities such as an atrium, tea houses, horticulture and greenhouses, on a portion of parkland at Cynthia Lai Park as shown in Attachment 1, in compliance with the Donations to the City of Toronto for Community Benefits Policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to negotiate and execute a Construction and Donation Agreement with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto to facilitate the construction of an Asian Garden on a portion of parkland at Cynthia Lai Park, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, in a form and content satisfactory to the City Solicitor, and in accordance with City policies relating to capital projects, including compliance with the City's Fair Wage Policy and the City's Labour Trades Contractual Obligations in the Construction Industry, if applicable.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to negotiate and execute a Fundraising Agreement with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto Foundation to raise funds for the construction and management of an Asian Garden on a portion of parkland at Cynthia Lai Park, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and in a form and content satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to negotiate and execute a Management Agreement with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto, for a term of 20 years, plus two 10 year renewal options, commencing after the construction of the Asian Garden has been completed to the General Manager's satisfaction, at the General Manager's discretion after consultation with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto, for the purposes of managing an Asian Garden to be constructed by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto on a portion of parkland at Cynthia Lai Park, on terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and in a form and content satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

","financialImpactWep":"

The City is not responsible for any future costs in relation to the Asian Garden project. Specifically, there are no future financial implications to the City resulting from execution of the Construction and Donation Agreement, the Fundraising Agreement, or the Management Agreement, aside from staff resourcing necessary to establish and manage the agreements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Asian Garden is currently estimated to cost $10.2 million to construct. In 2019, the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto received $5.2 million from Federal and Provincial governments to support the Asian Garden project. Grant funding is contingent on completion of the project by July 2027. The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto is required to raise an additional $5 million for construction of the project and is solely responsible for all costs associated with the ongoing operation, maintenance and programming of the Asian Garden.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through their self-established fundraising committee, the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto will be responsible for securing funds for the project. Pending approval of the report, the City of Toronto will enter into a Fundraising Agreement with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto. The Fundraising Agreement will help the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto demonstrate to donors that the City has endorsed this project.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Asian Garden project is contingent upon Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto’s ability to demonstrate financial capacity to fulfill their contractual obligations to the City. Construction will only move forward once the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto has raised the necessary funds to construct the project.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agree with the information as presented in the Financial Impact section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report responds to City Council direction (2022.MM45.9), which endorsed in principle the use of parkland at Cynthia Lai Park (1051 Progress Avenue) by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto for the implementation of an Asian Garden Project, subject to approval of design by Parks and Recreation staff and provided the project be fully funded by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto and at no cost to the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff were also authorized to conduct community engagement on the proposed design and directed to report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee on the results of community engagement and negotiations with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto, and to seek any required authority for future agreements to implement the project.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto is a non-profit cultural organization dedicated to promoting Chinese culture and fostering intercultural understanding. The Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto proposes to design, fund, and construct an Asian Garden as a new cultural and community landmark celebrating Chinese heritage and multicultural exchange. The project also adds additional parking to help alleviate the limited capacity currently available at the adjacent Scarborough Community Complex.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In response to Council direction, City staff collaborated with the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto and the local Councillor on a comprehensive engagement process, including a community consultation meeting on September 11, 2025, attended by more than 120 participants and an information flyer that was distributed to 1,200 nearby households. Feedback was broadly supportive, with comments focused on design, operations, funding, and programming. Additional outreach materials produced by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto included an information booklet, a video overview of the proposal, and a survey that generated over 200 responses, along with ongoing updates via a project webpage managed by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Last winter, Mayor Chow joined me to launch a community-led visioning process for the 74 acres of connected parkland spanning five parks along the Humber River in Weston. Using a design charrette for the first time, we initiated the development of what has become the Weston Loop Master Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Over several months, an iterative engagement process was undertaken, including focus groups, in-person and one-on-one consultations, the establishment of a local stakeholder advisory group with regular meetings, engagement with treaty rights holders and numerous pop-up engagements at community events. Dedicated digital platforms - such as a project website, Frequently Asked Questions, and online postings - were also used to ensure broad participation and accessibility.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City staff, including, Parks and Recreation staff were fully integrated throughout the process, participating in community events, advisory meetings, and discussions to ensure alignment with City objectives and community priorities.

\r\n

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. Pause implementation of Bill 68, Schedule 3;

\r\n

\r\n

c. Engage in meaningful consultation with municipalities to address any specific provincial concerns regarding efficiency without dismantling local governance and environmental protection.

\r\n

3. City Council directs the Clerk to send a copy of this resolution to the Premier of Ontario, the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, all Toronto Members of Provincial Parliament, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, and the Toronto Region Conservation Authority.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The Conservation Authorities Act (1946) established Conservation Authorities as local, watershed-based bodies to manage natural resources, flooding and development in partnership with municipalities. Their jurisdiction and responsibilities were broadened after the devastation of Hurricane Hazel, and are even more critical now that climate breakdown is worsening the severity of erosion, flooding and storms.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Conservation Authorities are governed by Boards of Directors comprised of municipally elected officials or appointees, ensuring direct accountability to local taxpayers and residents, and responsiveness to local priorities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This funding model relies heavily on municipal levies and self-generated revenue, with the Province of Ontario contributing approximately 5 percentor less to operating budgets.

\r\n

The Toronto Region Conservation Authority has deservedly earned international recognition for its exceptional, highly skilled, outstanding work protecting Toronto’s residents, floodplains and natural areas. Part of that essential work is to refuse to permit real estate development on hazard lands where it does not belong.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current provincial government has repeatedly interfered with this essential work of conservation authorities. It has now introduced Schedule 3 of Bill 68 (and Environmental Registry of Ontario posting 025-1257), to eviscerate municipal watershed-based control of development in hazard lands by amalgamating Ontario’s 36 Conservation Authorities into seven (7) centralized regional entities governed by a new \"Ontario Provincial Conservation Agency\". This forced amalgamation and subordination will dilute local decision-making, sever the critical link between local funding and local service delivery, imperil the essential work of the Toronto Region Conservation Authority and ignore the unique hydrological and environmental differences between distinct watersheds.

Potential Impact of the Time-Limited Enhancement

\r\n

The actual uptake, costs, and benefits of the proposed temporary enhancement to the EDGE Incentive Program will depend on factors such as prevailing market conditions, demand for new and upgraded employment space, interest rates, technological changes, and other government policies that influence investment decisions. Given that these factors are hard to predict, the financial impact of EDGE grants is tracked on an annual basis, with a report submitted to City Council in the first quarter of each year.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Under the current program, approved projects receive a grant equal to 60 percent of the municipal tax increment over five years (up to 70 percent for eligible enhanced projects), whereas the proposed temporary stream would increase this support to 100 percent of the municipal tax increment for five years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Initial projections for the EDGE Incentive Program estimated that each approved project would receive about $1.9 million in grants over five years, with total disbursements reaching approximately $40.1 million over the first 10 years of program uptake. While this is already significantly lower than the annual funding cap of $20 million, applications received to date have been smaller in scale than originally projected, mostly involving moderate expansions or new developments. On average, these projects are now projected to receive around $1.0 million per 5-year grant.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Based on current projections, staff estimate that the proposed temporary enhancement would increase the average EDGE grant from $1.0 million to $1.7 million over five years. This higher grant amount would apply only to applications submitted during the enhanced program period. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

With the proposed enhancements, total grant expenditures would remain below the original program estimates. Grant expenditures are expected to begin in 2027, starting at approximately $836,000, increasing to $4.3 million by 2034 in foregone municipal tax revenues.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The changes being proposed will continue to be implemented within the program’s approved annual budget cap of $20 million.

\r\n

 

\r\n

EDGE Incentive Program Applications Received and Under Review

\r\n

Since program implementation, the City has received and is reviewing EDGE Incentive applications for 2 projects, as described in Table 1 below.

*Estimated grant values are based on information provided by applicants in their submissions. The construction value reported is used as a proxy for the increase in assessment. Final grant amounts will be determined once the property is constructed and reassessed by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The total estimated grant amount for the applications submitted to-date with the proposed changes equals approximately $3.2 million in foregone revenues over 5 years, which represents a $1.2 million increase compared to what would have been provided under the original program design and benefit levels.

\r\n

 

\r\n

All other staffing resources and expertise needed to support the actions identified in this report for the Community Improvement Plan Amendment for the EDGE Incentive Program will be accommodated within existing divisional operating budgets.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information presented in the Financial Impacts section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report proposes temporary changes to the City-Wide Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Economic Development and Growth in Employment (EDGE) Incentive Program to support the Mayor’s Economic Action Plan in Response to United States Tariffs. The CIP amendment would temporarily increase the value of development grants offered through the incentive program to encourage business investment and job creation in the near term.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Specifically, a new program stream would provide development grants equal to 100 percent of the municipal tax increment over a five-year period. This enhanced support would be available for eligible applications submitted by December 31, 2027, including any applications submitted prior to the Council approval of amendments. All other program eligibility requirements would remain unchanged, and the program would continue to operate within its existing annual funding cap of $20 million.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These proposed changes respond to City Council’s direction to explore ways to boost industrial investment and job creation in Toronto and align with priorities outlined in the Action Plan for Toronto’s Economy (APTE), including actions to encourage investment, support job growth, and maintain the city’s competitive edge through tools such as tax incentives. The amendment ensures the program remains responsive to current market conditions, including economic uncertainty and competitive pressures resulting from ongoing U.S. trade policy issues. The report and recommendations were developed in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also fulfills City Council’s direction for staff to provide an annual update on the EDGE Incentive Program, which is otherwise required in the first quarter annually.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Multi-tenant houses (also known as rooming houses) are one of the most affordable forms of housing and have long provided accommodation to diverse communities across Toronto, including students, seniors, newcomers, low-income residents, and people exiting homelessness. To preserve this type of affordable housing and ensure it is safe and secure across all neighbourhoods in Toronto, City Council adopted the New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Houses (“the framework”) on December 14, 2022 (2023.CC2.1). The framework came into effect on March 31, 2024, and introduced a city-wide zoning approach to permit multi-tenant houses in all areas of the city (subject to zone-specific requirements), a new licensing bylaw (Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 575, Multi-Tenant Houses) and a phased, interdivisional approach to licensing and enforcement. The framework also established the Multi-Tenant House Licensing Tribunal, a renovation and repair program, and a communications and engagement program to inform tenants, operators, and the broader public.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The framework was adopted to advance key actions under the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (\"HousingTO Plan\") and other core policy objectives: to harmonize zoning permissions across Toronto; improve tenant safety and housing conditions; preserve and expand deeply affordable housing; and apply an equity lens to the regulation of multi-tenant houses. The framework is also one of many concrete steps the City has taken to advance the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing, a commitment made by City Council in adopting the Toronto Housing Charter. Staff have been monitoring progress toward the framework’s objectives through indicators such as licensing uptake, compliance with property and safety standards, tenant protection measures, and the legal, safe, and equitable integration of multi-tenant houses into all neighbourhoods. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report responds to City Council’s direction to provide an implementation update on the framework, and assesses the activities and outcomes between March 31, 2024, and July 31, 2025. The report includes operational insights, licensing and enforcement data, interdivisional collaboration updates, findings from a land economics study, and community engagement activities, including an online feedback form for the public and a targeted survey of operators. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Implementation of the framework is progressing in line with the planned phased rollout. Licensing activity to date indicates that most operators previously licensed under legacy bylaws have transitioned to the new framework, which applies higher standards. At the same time, implementation has highlighted challenges, particularly when it comes to bringing unlicensed operators into the framework.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To build on progress achieved during the initial phases of implementation and advance policy objectives, this report highlights and recommends targeted refinements and stronger supports to respond to some of the challenges experienced since implementation began.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City remains committed to increasing participation in the framework, protecting tenants, and advancing the long-term goals of safety, affordability, and equitable housing access across Toronto. To support these objectives, staff introduced an Operator Concierge service in September 2025 to guide operators through the licensing process and are proposing enhancements to the Multi-Tenant Houses Renovation Program. Staff also recommend a set of technical and administrative refinements to both licensing and zoning bylaws, recommended to come into effect on February 15, 2026, that would clarify applicable standards, including for buildings upon multiple properties or containing both dwelling rooms and dwelling units.

","agendaItemSummary":"

On March 21, 2023, the Executive Committee adopted Item 2023.EX3.1, \"Housing Action Plan 2022-2026- Priorities and Work Plan\". Through the Housing Action Plan (HAP) 2022–2026, City Council directed City Planning to update the Official Plan and establish as-of-right zoning permissions to expand housing opportunities across the city. Building on that direction, the Avenues Policy Review modernizes policies and zoning to enable mid-rise buildings along Avenues. In the Official Plan, \"Avenues\" are designated major streets that serve as corridors for growth and intensification supporting new housing, services, and local businesses close to transit.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On February 5, 2025, Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 778 (OPA 778), which comprehensively updated the Avenues policies, expanded the network of Avenues by 283 kilometres, and directed growth along Avenues generally to the height and scale of mid-rise buildings. Following appeals, the Ontario Land Tribunal brought OPA 778 into effect city-wide on July 24, 2025, except for site-specific matters still before the Tribunal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Phase Two of the Avenues Policy Review now moves from policy to implementation. It studies new and previously unexamined Avenues to determine where redesignation to Mixed Use Areas or Apartment Neighbourhoods—with corresponding zoning—is appropriate to enable mid-rise development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On June 25, 2025, Council adopted the Phase Two Work Plan, launching an initial study of Ward 9 (Davenport) and Ward 11 (University-Rosedale) with final reporting in the fourth quarter of 2025. This report presents the findings and recommendations of that study, which considered the local context as well as extensive community consultation. The recommended redesignation of approximately 1,900 parcels along Avenues in these wards along with updates to the accompanying zoning advances Council’s goal of enabling mid-rise housing and complete communities.

Over the course of the year, staff from the Housing Secretariat and Corporate Real Estate Management have worked with Beech Hall and Alexandra Park to collect and assess site-specific information needed to inform the development of lease agreements.  In addition, City staff initiated and advanced work with both co-operatives to support the upgrading of existing housing assets and to explore opportunities for growth under the City’s Ground Lease Policy Framework.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As additional time is required to finalize the development of the lease and operating agreements, this report requests City Council’s authority to extend the existing lease agreements by up to two years.

Parkdale Hub West Block Community Space

\r\n

 

\r\n

There is no incremental financial impact relating to the construction of community space at the West Block from the recommendations in this report. City Council approved $17,724,000 in CREM’s 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for the construction of the Parkdale Hub West Block community space. Staff require authority to flow these approved funds to NLT to be used for construction of the community space.  These funds would be secured through a municipal housing facility agreement (the City’s “Contribution Agreement”).

\r\n

 

\r\n

Authority to enter into the Contribution Agreement is pursuant to the adoption of item PH13.8, whereby City Council approved a new rolling application process to provide eligible affordable rental and community housing-led rent-controlled homes access to financial incentives including a waiver of planning application and building permit fees, and an exemption of DCs, CBCs, and parkland dedication fees (where not already exempted under provincial legislation). Approval of these incentives is delegated to the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat within the City’s affordable rental and rent-controlled homes target established annually through the Budget process (2025 target is 6,940 rent-controlled, affordable rental and RGI homes).

\r\n

 

\r\n

Eligible rent-controlled and affordable rental homes can also receive an exemption from taxation for municipal and school purposes for the duration of the affordability and rent control period, subject to City Council approval. These incentives are not a direct payment from the City but rather foregone revenues. A future report will be brought to City Council to seek authority for property tax exemptions for the rent-controlled portion of the project and will identify the financial impact at that time.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These financial incentives are provided subject to proponents entering into a Contribution Agreement with the City and meeting associated requirements throughout construction and operating years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Improvements at 245 Dunn Avenue in Support of Parkdale Hub

\r\n

 

\r\n

Costs relating to the garage rehabilitation and landscaping improvements at 245 Dunn Avenue that are required as part of the development of Parkdale Hub will be refined with TCH and included in the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan submissions for Housing Secretariat and TCH for consideration as part of the 2026 budget process. Costs to deliver structural improvements to the underground garage would achieve economies of scale by building off TCH’s already planned state of good repair work for the underground garage. See Confidential Attachment 2 for a preliminary cost estimate of the work.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has been advised of the financial impacts associated with this project to be considered along with other priorities in the 2026 budget process.

","agendaItemSummary":"

 The purpose of this report is to seek City Council authorization for staff to take the necessary steps that will enable construction at Parkdale Hub – West Block (the “West Block”).  Staff require authority to enter into an agreement with the selected non-profit development partner, Neighbourhood Land Trust (“NLT”), that would enable capital funding to be flowed to them for the construction of the community space. Staff also require authority to work with Toronto Community Housing Corporation (“TCH”) to prepare the TCH-owned property at 245 Dunn Avenue for off-site parking and a shared driveway required to support the Parkdale Hub development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Parkdale Hub is a transformational city-building initiative that will deliver a wide range of social, cultural, and economic benefits to the Parkdale community. It includes a three-phase improvement and expansion of important City-owned facilities at the intersection of Queen Street West and Cowan Avenue. This intersection is a focal point of municipal and community activities and home to an important cluster of City-owned facilities, properties, and community services, all of which need significant capital investment over the next ten years to meet their projected service delivery levels. The three phases will be delivered as “blocks”, across a West Block (Phase 1), Centre Block (Phase 2), and East Block (Phase 3).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The West Block will be the first to be delivered among the three blocks and will be led by NLT, the non-profit Community Housing developer that has been selected through a public Request for Proposals (“RFP”) process.  It will contain a 16-storey mixed-use building with an estimated 175 purpose-built rental homes, 88 of which will be permanently affordable, nine of which will be rental-replacements and 78 of which will be rent-controlled homes. The project will also have approximately 23,000 square feet of community space. Once developed, the project will offer a range of affordable, family-sized and accessible homes designed to meet the diverse needs of future residents. In addition, residents will have access to culturally appropriate community supports and services helping to improve their quality of life and connection to community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval of the recommendations in this report will enable staff to secure critical financial support for the Parkdale hub development to advance construction. Additionally, the Housing Development Office will continue to work closely with NLT, and with City Divisions and Agencies to deliver the West Block and ensure a seamless integration with the delivery of the Centre Block in Phase 2.

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations in this report. The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information as presented in the Financial Impact Section.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The northern portion of the existing parking lot at 66-66Y Third Street is dedicated as a public laneway through By-law 1991-0017. There is an existing public laneway immediately north of the site. The closure of the public laneway within the parking lot will have no impact on the existing laneway to the north of the site.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report is required to facilitate the closure of a portion of the public laneway on a portion of 66-66Y Third Street, in accordance with the decision adopted by City Council on July 23 and 24, 2025, through Planning and Housing Committee report PH23.3 \"Advancing Six Sites for the Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy”.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As part of the adoption of item PH23.3, City Council directed the General Manager, Transportation Services and any other appropriate staff to initiate the process, including all required investigations, confirmations and reports, to permanently close a portion of the public laneway on a portion of 66-66Y Third Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In accordance with direction from City Council, Transportation Services initiated the process to permanently close a portion of the public laneway on a portion of 66-66Y Third Street. Following all required investigations, Transportation Services has determined that it can be closed and recommends that City Council permanently close a portion of the public laneway at 66Y Third Street, as shown in the registered plan of survey as Part 2 on Attachment 2 and Attachment 3 of this report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Once closed, the jurisdiction and operational responsibility for the former laneway lands will be transferred from Transportation Services to Toronto Shelter and Support Services (TSSS) to enable the construction and management of a new municipal shelter at 66–66Y Third Street. City Council approval is necessary whenever a part of a public laneway is proposed to be permanently closed. Given this closure is required to enable the development in the decision adopted by City Council on July 23 and 24, 2025, through Planning and Housing Committee report PH23.3, which recognized the new municipal shelter as a project of City-wide significance, this report has been submitted to the Planning and Housing Committee for consideration with recommendations for City Council approval.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 241 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value according to the Statement of Significance which includes a description of Heritage Attributes found in Attachment 1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject property at 241 Yonge Street is located on the east side of Yonge Street mid-block between Shuter Street to the south and Sankofa Square to the north, in the Downtown Yonge East neighbourhood. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property are found in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 241 Yonge Street, formerly known as Art Metropole, contains a four-storey mixed-use commercial brick and stone building constructed in 1911 in the Edwardian Classicism style, following the designs of the architectural firm of Mitchell & White. It was purpose-built as the commercial property for the Art Metropole artist material supply company, first established in 1888 as one of the earliest companies of this type in Toronto. Art Metropole played a key supporting role in the artist community of early 20th century Toronto. Research into the products it supplied and who it supplied them to has contributed to a further understanding of that community. The first Art Metropole directly influenced the naming of the contemporary Art Metropole, the artist-run centre established in 1974 by the Canadian contemporary art group, General Idea, at 241 Yonge Street. Art Metropole was pivotal in the establishment of a national network of artist-run centres that connected the counterculture contemporary art movements of the 1970s and 80s. Today, the property continues to contribute to the historic commercial character of Yonge Street, south of Sankofa Square, where its style and typology reflect how the character of Yonge Street has been evolving for over a century.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have determined that the property at 241 Yonge Street has cultural heritage value and meets 6 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets two or more of the nine criteria.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property was listed on the City's Heritage Register on November 21, 1973.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Development applications for a combined Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment and a Site Plan Approval application were made with the City for the subject property. The property is subject to a Prescribed Event, for which City Clerk's issued a complete application notice on February 10, 2025. The property owner provided a waiver of the Prescribed Event and has agreed upon the timing of this report.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 262-264 St. George Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value according to the Statement of Significance, which includes a description of heritage attributes, found in Attachment 1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject properties at 262-264 St. George Street are located on the west side of

\r\n

St. George Street between Dupont Street and Bernard Avenue in the Annex neighbourhood. A location map and current photographs of the subject properties are found in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties at 262-264 St. George Street contain two 3-storey semi-detached properties within a house-form building constructed in 1893 and designed in the Annex style. The properties maintain and support the historic character of the Annex neighbourhood, which features an intermingling of the neighbourhood's earliest single family homes, that retain their architectural form and grandeur following the 1920s conversion to apartment houses and multi-tenant rooming houses to accommodate a rapidly growing population in the post-war era, alongside mid-century low- to high-rise apartment buildings.

\r\n

 

\r\n

262-264 St. George Street were listed on the City's Heritage Register on July 2, 1974.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have determined that the subject properties at 262-264 St. George Street have cultural heritage value and meet 4 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets two or more of the nine criteria.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A development application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application was made with the City for the subject properties. The proposed development is a 12-storey residential building where the applicant proposes to integrate the subject properties into the base of the new construction through partial in-situ retention. The new construction will be set back behind the rebuilt roofline of the subject properties.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required for all development applications that affect listed and designated properties to determine how a heritage property is proposed to be conserved. An HIA, prepared by Hobson Built Heritage dated May 18, 2025, has been submitted. 

\r\n

At its meeting on November 18, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB37.1 and made recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Summary from the report (October 28, 2025) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 
This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 262-264 St. George Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value according to the Statement of Significance, which includes a description of heritage attributes, found in Attachment 1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject properties at 262-264 St. George Street are located on the west side of St. George Street between Dupont Street and Bernard Avenue in the Annex neighbourhood. A location map and current photographs of the subject properties are found in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties at 262-264 St. George Street contain two 3-storey semi-detached properties within a house-form building constructed in 1893 and designed in the Annex style. The properties maintain and support the historic character of the Annex neighbourhood, which features an intermingling of the neighbourhood's earliest single family homes, that retain their architectural form and grandeur following the 1920s conversion to apartment houses and multi-tenant rooming houses to accommodate a rapidly growing population in the post-war era, alongside mid-century low- to high-rise apartment buildings.

\r\n

 

\r\n

262-264 St. George Street were listed on the City's Heritage Register on July 2,1974.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have determined that the subject properties at 262-264 St. George Street have cultural heritage value and meet 4 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets two or more of the nine criteria.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A development application for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application was made with the City for the subject properties. The proposed development is a 12-storey residential building where the applicant proposes to integrate the subject properties into the base of the new construction through partial in-situ retention. The new construction will be set back behind the rebuilt roofline of the subject properties.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) is required for all development applications that affect listed and designated properties to determine how a heritage property is proposed to be conserved. An Heritage Impact Assessment, prepared by Hobson Built Heritage dated May 18, 2025, has been submitted.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties are subject to a Prescribed Event. Clerks issued a complete application notice on June 16, 2025. The owner provided a waiver to extend the time period for Council to make a decision with no expiry date.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this Supplementary Report is to update the Planning and Housing Committee regarding the owner of 39 Wynford Drive's voluntary revocation of a demolition permit for 39 Wynford Drive, dated October 31, 2025, and to provide alternative recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In consideration of the revocation, which has been confirmed by Toronto Building, heritage staff recommend deferral of Council's consideration of the designation of the property until such time as the results of the City's Don Mills Regeneration Study are reported in 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This supplementary report also recommends that City Council include 39 Wynford Drive on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value and interest according to the Listing Statement (Reasons for Inclusion) found in Attachment 1. The property was previously recommended for listing in 2019 by the Toronto Preservation Board, but the item was deferred by North York Community Council to allow for further dialogue between the property owner and heritage staff.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Listing the property at this time would allow staff to monitor the property until a designation notice is issued by Council and would ensure that a Heritage Impact Assessment be submitted as part of a complete development application. Staff recommend that the Part IV designation be brought back to Council, through the Planning and Housing Committee, no later than the July 2026 meeting of City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Properties can only be placed on the Heritage Register for a period of two years.

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value according to the Statement of Significance and description of heritage attributes in Attachment 1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street contain two pairs of semi-detached house-form buildings completed between 1886 and 1888. The Late Victorian-era dwellings are located on the west side of \"old\" Sumach Street, a remnant one-block stub severed from the original street alignment in the 1960s to make way for the

\r\n

Richmond Street Bridge from the westbound Don Valley Parkway (DVP) off-ramp at Richmond and the concurrent eastbound Adelaide Street Bridge. Both infrastructural interventions cut through the city's historic Corktown neighbourhood and demolished over 200 residences. The subject properties stand today directly alongside the parkway ramps as remnants of the area's late-19th century residential character, as well as physical evidence of the impact of mid-20th century urban renewal efforts on existing neighbourhoods. A location map and current photograph of the properties are found in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject properties were identified as having cultural heritage value through the Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment conducted as part of the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review (2019) and were included on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in December 2020.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have determined that the properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street have cultural heritage value and meet 4 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets 2 or more of the 9 criteria.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As of July 1, 2021, Section 29(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act to within 90 days of a \"Prescribed Event\".

\r\n

The properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street are subject to a Prescribed Event. On September 13, 2021, the City received an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application related to the proposed redevelopment of the subject properties (21204556STE13OZ). The City Clerk sent a Notice of Complete Application on December 24, 2021. The owner provided a waiver to hold the time limit for Council to make a decision in abeyance until such time as either the Owner or the City of Toronto provides written notice to the other party (the “Notice”) that the 90 day time period will recommence with the first day of the 90 day time period being the day that is fourteen days after the date of the Notice. Neither party have reenacted the time period and have instead through dialogue co-ordinated the timing of the staff report to the Toronto Preservation Board. On July 23, 2025, the City received a resubmission of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to facilitate a revised development proposal including partial retention and integration of the subject properties.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) authored by ERA Architects and dated November 30, 2021 was submitted in support of the active development application on the site of the subject properties. A revised HIA authored by ERA Architects and dated July 11, 2025 accompanied the revised development application submission on July 23, 2025. Both versions of the HIA conclude that the properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street have cultural heritage value with each property meeting 2 or more criteria in their evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06 prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations or demolitions to the properties and enforce heritage property standards and maintenance.

At its meeting on October 16, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB36.3 and made recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Summary from the report (September 26, 2025) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value according to the Statement of Significance and description of heritage attributes in Attachment 1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street contain two pairs of semi-detached house-form buildings completed between 1886 and 1888. The Late Victorian-era dwellings are located on the west side of \"old\" Sumach Street, a remnant one-block stub severed from the original street alignment in the 1960s to make way for the Richmond Street Bridge from the westbound Don Valley Parkway (DVP) off-ramp at Richmond and the concurrent eastbound Adelaide Street Bridge that cut through the city's historic Corktown neighbourhood and destroyed over 200 residences. The subject properties stand today directly alongside the parkway ramps as fortunate survivors of the area's late-19th century residential character, as well as physical evidence of the impact of mid-20th century urban renewal efforts on existing neighbourhoods and their sense of place. A location map and current photograph of the properties are found in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject properties were identified as having cultural heritage value through the Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment conducted as part of the King-Parliament Secondary Plan Review (2019) and were included on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in December 2020.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have determined that the properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street have cultural heritage value and meet 4 of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A property may be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, if it meets 2 or more of the 9 criteria.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As of July 1, 2021, Section 29(1.2) of the Ontario Heritage Act restricts City Council's ability to give notice of its intention to designate a property under the Act to within 90 days of a \"Prescribed Event\".

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties at 6-8 and 10-12 Sumach Street are subject to a Prescribed Event. On September 13, 2021, the City received an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application related to the proposed redevelopment of the subject properties (21204556STE13OZ). The City Clerk sent a Notice of Complete Application on December 24, 2021. The owner provided a waiver to hold the time limit for Council to make a decision in abeyance until such time as either the Owner or the City of Toronto provides written notice to the other party (the “Notice”) that the 90 day time period will recommence with the first day of the 90 day time period being the day that is fourteen days after the date of the Notice. Neither party has reenacted the time period and has instead through dialogue co-ordinated the timing of the staff report to the Toronto Preservation Board. On July 23, 2025, the City received a resubmission of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application to facilitate a revised development proposal including partial retention and integration of the subject properties.

\r\n

7. City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services to report to the April 14, 2026 Planning and Housing Committee on the redevelopment framework.

","financialImpactWep":"

The annual property taxes for the property at 444 Logan Ave are estimated at $239,473, comprised of a municipal portion of $208,871 and a provincial education portion of $30,602, based on 2025 Current Value Assessment and 2025 tax rates.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As shown in Table 1 below, providing a property tax exemption for the property at 444 Logan Ave will result in a net annual reduction in property tax revenue to the City of approximately $208,871, representing the municipal portion of taxes that is currently payable that will no longer be collected once the Municipal Housing Project Facility Agreement with WoodGreen Community Housing Incorporated takes effect.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the City currently funds property taxes for WoodGreen Community Housing Incorporated as a social housing provider through an annual subsidy allocation administered by the Housing Secretariat, there is no net impact on the municipal portion of taxes from the Municipal Housing Facility tax exemption. The reduction in municipal tax revenue collected by the Revenue Services is offset by a corresponding subsidy reduction for WoodGreen allowing for the reallocation to other housing providers.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The provincial education portion of property taxes of approximately $30,602 annually will no longer be required to be remitted to the province once the exemption takes effect. It will be retained in the Housing Secretariat's operating budget to continue to support operational needs and ensure the ongoing affordability for the social housing program.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The former Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (City of Toronto) and WoodGreen Community Housing Incorporated (WoodGreen) entered into a municipal agreement on October 22, 1965, to convey the site at 444 Logan Avenue (also known as Ray McCleary Towers) to WoodGreen for the development and operation of 160 social housing units for low-income seniors. The project was funded under a former federal social housing operating agreement which expired on July 1, 2017, when the original Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) mortgage was discharged. The municipal agreement required that upon mortgage expiry, the property is to be reconveyed to the City. City Council has since approved an extension of the municipal agreement (and WoodGreen's obligation to reconvey the property to the City) to August 2026. This extension provided time for the parties to negotiate the terms and conditions for WoodGreen's continued long-term use of the property.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition to the municipal agreement, WoodGreen and the City entered into a Local Agency Housing Agreement on May 23, 2017, which provides a framework for the coordination of three WoodGreen housing initiatives including the redevelopment of 1117-1119 Gerrard Street East, the social housing property at 835-841 Queen Street East, and 444 Logan Avenue. The Local Agency Housing Agreement supports the City and WoodGreen to renegotiate the terms of the reconveyance of 444 Logan Avenue, while considering all three properties together, to ensure no loss of affordable rental and social housing in the city.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since the Local Agency Agreement was signed, the redevelopment of 1117-1119 Gerrard Street East. has been completed and now provides 36 good quality social housing units and an onsite daycare for residents. To further advance the goals of the Local Housing Agency Agreement, while considering the current context, this report recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- City Council extend the date at which the 444 Logan Avenue reconveyance obligation comes into force to a date that is 40 years following the registration of a new Social Housing Agreement to be signed between the City and WoodGreen;

\r\n

- The Local Agency Housing Agreement be amended to incorporate a City-led process for the redevelopment framework for WoodGreen at 835-841 Queen Street East; and

\r\n

- WoodGreen enter into a Municipal Housing Facility Agreement (\"Contribution Agreement\") with the City to secure an exemption from property taxes for a period of 40 years for 444 Logan Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Council's approval of the recommendations in this report will allow WoodGreen to

\r\n

secure approximately $27 million in federal funding and low-cost financing to complete a deep energy retrofit and modernization of 444 Logan Avenue. These improvements will support quality of life improvements for tenants through adequate heating and cooling, better quality homes and reduced operating costs to enable long-term affordability. The initiative will also support the City's TransformTO Net Zero Strategy and overall sustainability goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Furthermore, the amended Local Agency Housing Agreement will facilitate the future development of 835-841 Queen Street East through a City-led process, allowing WoodGreen to leverage the City and CreateTO's development expertise to expedite the delivery of good quality, sustainable and affordable homes for seniors.

Since then, the approved staging on Kipling Avenue has not yet been implemented due to unforeseen delays related to forestry requirements, as well as setbacks associated with hydro pole removal. The developer is now requesting an extension for the duration of the construction staging area on Kipling Avenue, to allow for the construction of the development to proceed as planned.

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications seek to permit an increase in building height for Building A from the approved 35 storeys (105.5 metres) to 43 storeys (129.5 metres), along with a corresponding increase in overall density. The applications also propose to amend the percentage of dwelling unit types and an increase in the total number of dwelling units. These amendments would further amend the existing Official Plan Amendment Number 695 and Zoning By-law Amendment Number 405-2024. The subject property is municipally known as 15 Smooth Rose Court and is located within the Parkside Square lands.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposal includes a total gross floor area \"GFA\" of 31,519.8 square metres containing 463 dwelling units, while maintaining the remaining elements of the approved building envelope, including tower floorplate and resulting mix of dwelling unit types and sizes. Vehicular access to the site is proposed via a private street known as Red Knot Heights on the north side of the subject site.

\r\n


A total of 296 parking spaces are proposed for the overall development of Building A, including 250 residential and 46 visitor parking spaces and 354 bicycle parking spaces. A total of 12 accessible parking spaces, which satisfies the minimum accessible parking requirement.

\r\n

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends approval of the application to amend the ConsumersNext Secondary Plan and the Zoning By-law to redevelop the easterly portion of the subject site for a 34-storey (110 metre) residential building while retaining the existing 2-storey (7 metre) office building on the westerly portion of the subject site, subject to a modification of the applicant’s proposed Official Plan Amendment.  The proposed development contains 343 residential units with a total gross floor area of 29,484 square metres resulting in a density of 4.54 times the area of the lot and a 524 square metre privately-owned publicly-accessible open space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The applicant’s Official Plan Amendment seeks revisions to Chapter 6, Section 38 of the ConsumersNext Secondary plan, Site and Area specific policy Number 1. by reducing the affordable housing obligation and years of affordability. Six (6) affordable rental units are proposed at an affordability term of 25 years.  Also, the amendment reduces the required employment gross floor area from 3,342 square metres to 2,227 square metres.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff support the reduction in required employment gross floor area, but recommend that the affordable housing terms remain unchanged. The amendment is approved as it applies to the reduction in employment gross floor area and no change is made to the affordable housing clauses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment application are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan.

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends approval of the application to exempt the lands from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act at 241-243 Finch Avenue East to permit the creation of conveyable lots for eight townhouse units which would ultimately be held under freehold ownership and become the Parcels of Tied Land (POTLs) to the Common Elements Condominium.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A related Common Elements Condominium application has been submitted to establish eight (8) residential dwelling units with shared common elements such as a private access driveway and site servicing under File Number 25 134479 NNY 18 CD.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The lifting of Part Lot Control is appropriate for the orderly development of these lands and represents an appropriate level of intensification along Finch Avenue East as contemplated by the Central Finch Area Secondary Plan, while providing a transition to the existing lower scaled residential neighbourhood to the south.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish a three-storey apartment building containing 17 rental dwelling units located at 11 Churchill Avenue.

","agendaItemSummary":"

As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit service on Kingston Road, City Council approval of this report is required.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has worked with Transportation Services to identify new on-street paid parking opportunities in Ward 20 that will support the local community and area businesses, by encouraging a regular turnover in the on-street parking supply.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through this review, Transportation Services is requesting approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Kingston Road in Ward 20. The proposed parking changes will replace the existing parking restrictions currently in effect. The proposed changes will not impact the flow of traffic and will encourage parking turnover.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While this report seeks Community Council approval for the installation of on-street paid parking on Kingston Road in Ward 20, this is an ongoing initiative; Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority will continue to review and report on potential new on-street paid parking opportunities throughout the City of Toronto.

","financialImpactWep":"

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit an increase in residential gross floor area and a reduction in non-residential gross floor area including office floor area within the development previously approved at 1 Front Street West. The proposal is to permit residential uses within a portion of the west tower currently approved for non-residential uses. The application also proposes modifications to the north façade of the Dominion Public Building, a heritage building, with fourteen of the windows proposed to be lowered to provide additional views and access to the retail spaces proposed within the building.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The site was the subject of a previous Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) in 2020. The final order was issued by the OLT in 2022 bringing OPA 507 (By-law 1250-2022 (OLT)) and the amending Zoning By-laws into force and effect (By-law 1251-2022 (OLT) and By-law 1252-2022 (OLT)), and subject to the former Section 37 of the Planning Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

No changes are proposed to the previously approved heights, building envelopes or setbacks of the two towers and no change is proposed to the overall gross floor area permitted on the site.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed changes to the development are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conform to the Official Plan. The proposal conserves a significant heritage building, continues to provide for a contextually appropriate built form, includes public realm enhancements, proposes a mix of uses that supports housing and employment objectives, including the replacement of office and non-residential uses, and provides for a new community agency space as an additional benefit pursuant to former Section 37 of the Planning Act. Staff recommend that Council approve the application.

\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 recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the heritage property located at 1 Front Street West under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act at the Dominion Public Building, in connection with a proposed redevelopment of the subject property and that Council grant authority to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement for the subject property.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 1 Front Street West is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and is also contained within the Union Station Heritage Conservation District Plan. The Dominion Public Building at 1 Front Street West is identified as a \"contributing building\" within the Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A related Zoning By-law amendment application proposes amendments to the scheme that was approved in 2020 to permit changes to the permitted uses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current Heritage Permit application is largely the same as the scheme that was approved in 2020. The only difference is that now modifications are being proposed to 14 of the 18 existing openings on the Front Street façade. The 7 central windows on each wing flanking the central entrance block would be lowered to allow access to the new retail units on the first floor. The modifications will enhance pedestrian access and permeability between the public realm and interior of the property while retaining some original windows, the building’s heavy stone base and its symmetrical form. All other aspects of the conservation strategy that was approved in 2020 are still proposed including restoration of the canopy that once ran the length of the south façade of the building.

At its meeting on November 18, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB37.4 and made recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

  

\r\n

Summary from the report (November 7, 2025) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the heritage property located at 1 Front Street West under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act at the Dominion Public Building, in connection with a proposed redevelopment of the subject property and that Council grant authority to amend the existing Heritage Easement Agreement for the subject property.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 1 Front Street West is designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and is also contained within the Union Station Heritage Conservation District Plan. The Dominion Public Building at 1 Front Street West is identified as a \"contributing building\" within the Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A related Zoning By-law amendment application proposes amendments to the scheme that was approved in 2020 to permit changes to the permitted uses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current Heritage Permit application is largely the same as the scheme that was approved in 2020. The only difference is that now modifications are being proposed to 14 of the 18 existing openings on the Front Street façade. The 7 central windows on each wing flanking the central entrance block would be lowered to allow access to the new retail units on the first floor. The modifications will enhance pedestrian access and permeability between the public realm and interior of the property while retaining some original windows, the building’s heavy stone base and its symmetrical form. All other aspects of the conservation strategy that was approved in 2020 are still proposed including restoration of the canopy that once ran the length of the south façade of the building.

\r\n

3.

\r\n

5. City Council authorize and direct the City Solicitor to register the Part Lot Control Exemption By-law on title to 257-259 and 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East, 2 Small Street and 200 Queens Quay East.

10. City Council direct the Executive Director, Development Review to use $1076 per long-term bicycle parking space reduced, adjusted for inflation, as the basis upon which payments under Article the by-law referred to in recommendation 1, as amended, be calculated.

\r\n

 

\r\n

11. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review and report back on the feasibility of amending City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to exclude the development located at 257-259 and 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East, 2 Small Street and 200 Queens Quay East from Permit Parking.

This report recommends approval of a zoning bylaw amendment for 257-259 and 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East, 2 Small Street and 200 Queens Quay East , where an agreement is in place for the applicant to deliver 553 affordable rental housing units.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City contribution for the delivery of affordable housing was reported and approved on October 8, 2025 via EX26.2, Advancing Affordable Rental Housing in Quayside - Phase 1. Any additional financial impacts would need to be identified and submitted for consideration through future budget processes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the information presented in the Financial Impact Section.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends approval of the application to amend former City of Toronto Zoning By-law 438-86, as previously amended by By-law 852-2024 and By-law 1049-2006, to modify the zoning permissions of the first two blocks of the Quayside proposal, at 257-259 and 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East, 2 Small Street, and 200 Queens Quay East.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Approval of the application would permit two towers rather than one on the north-westerly block (Block 1A) and allow the linear 12-storey building fronting Queens Quay East to be broken up into two buildings. This would result in four mixed-use towers of 50, 57, 66 and 53 storeys, fronting on to Lake Shore Boulevard East and two linear 12-storey buildings fronting Queens Quay East. The amended zoning by-law, if approved, would also revise some existing zoning permissions site-wide, and allocate site-wide density, institutional uses, amenity space requirements, and bike parking requirements, on a block-by-block basis.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The amended zoning by-law would permit a total of 202,878 square metres of mixed-use development with up to 197,396 square metres of residential floor area, including 45,645 square metres of affordable rental housing (approximately 2,850 total residential units, including 553 affordable rental units, or 23% of the overall residential GFA), and 5,482 square metres of non-residential floor area. The application also includes revisions to the layout of Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space and a relocation of the planned community space to a different building. The in-force holding provisions and the Section 37 provisions will remain.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A key driver for Quayside is the provision of affordable rental housing units by the City in partnership with Waterfront Toronto and the applicant, Quayside Impact Limited Partnership (QILP), a consortium consisting of Dream and Great Gulf. The City, QILP, and Waterfront Toronto have worked on an accelerated plan to maximize the number of affordable rental housing units that can be delivered in the first phase in addition to providing additional new market purpose-built rental homes. Approximately 553 affordable rental housing units, including 56% as two, three, and four bedroom units, and approximately 1,229 purpose-built rental homes will be delivered by 2030-31. This will assist in the achievement of the HousingTO 2020-2034 Action Plan target to approve 65,000 rent-controlled homes (comprised of 6,500 rent-geared-to-income (RGI), 41,000 affordable rental and 17,500 rent-controlled market homes) by 2030.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The application also requests exemption from the Part Lot Control provisions of the Planning Act, to facilitate financing, fee simple transfers, and creation of easement interests.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report reviews and recommends approval of the applications to amend the Zoning By-law and the Part Lot Control Exemption application. The proposed zoning by-law amendment is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan, including the Central Waterfront Secondary Plan. The proposed development will contribute to the ongoing revitalization of the Central Waterfront as a complete, mixed-use community with significant affordable housing, a generous public realm, and high standards of sustainability and design.

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 recommends that City Council approve alterations under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the Part IV designated heritage property at 149 College Street. This is in connection with an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 60-storey mixed-use building that integrates the existing 6-storey heritage property known as the Stewart Building. The report also seeks approval to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement to ensure the long-term conservation of this significant heritage resource.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The site was designated in 1978 under the Ontario Heritage Act, on architectural and historic grounds, by City of Toronto By-law 508-1978. The designation identifies the building, which was designed by E.J. Lennox, as \"a significant work in the Romanesque Revival style, by [an] important Toronto architect.\" The designation identifies \"large arched windows, prominent wall dormers, a fine arched entrance portico and a distinctive use of stone and brick\" as noteworthy features.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A heritage permit application was submitted that integrates the retained building, including the College Street north façade, the east façade and a partial east and south façade into a base building with a 60-storey building component above. The new construction incorporates stepbacks above the retained heritage building. The transition in height between the heritage building and the tower will be moderated by a glazed reveal. A new landscape open area will be included at the northeast corner of the site. Staff are of the opinion that the proposal conserves the cultural heritage values, attributes and character of the heritage property.

The Director, Community Planning Toronto and East York District recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council amend the Official Plan for the lands municipally known as 333 College Street and 303 Augusta Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Official Plan Amendment included as Attachment 5 to this Report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council amend Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands municipally known as 333 College Street and 303 Augusta Avenue substantially in accordance with the draft Zoning By-law Amendment, which includes a Holding Provision, included as Attachment 6 to this Report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council repeal By-Law 2017-1444, to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, as amended, with respect to the lands municipally known in the year 2017 as 333 College Street and 303 Augusta Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to make such stylistic and technical changes to the draft Official Plan Amendment and/or draft Zoning By-law Amendments as may be required.

","financialImpactWep":"

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This Report recommends approval of an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law, to permit a 62.3-metre (20 storeys), excluding mechanical penthouse, mixed-use building containing 638 privately-owned student residence units, and a minimum of 60 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, at 333 College Street and the rear part of 303 Augusta Avenue. The development site does not include the front part of 303 Augusta Avenue, fronting onto Augusta Avenue. This lot will be subject to a future Consent to Sever Application, not currently under consideration.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed privately-owned student residence does not meet the by-law 569-2013 definition of a student residence, which requires that a student residence is owned and operated by an educational facility or institution. The proposed development will, however, be designed and operated as a student residence. As such, staff have reviewed the proposed development against the performance standards applied to student residences within the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The application to amend Site and Area Specific Policy 533 of the Official Plan is required to allow a building taller than 30 metres, to vary setbacks from the side property lines, to permit a retail frontage less than 60 percent and to allow for a reduction in three-bedroom units.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This Report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan to re-designate a portion of the subject site at 630-646 Spadina Avenue and 67 Harbord Street from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas, and to designate the lands Mixed Use Areas 3 – Main Street in the Downtown Secondary Plan. Through the application process, the extent of the Official Plan Amendment has been refined to only cover the portion of the site at 630 Spadina Avenue. The application does not propose any new buildings or building additions at this time, and it is intended that the existing buildings will remain.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing is the approval authority for amendments to authorized uses of land within Protected Major Transit Station Areas. If adopted by Council, the Official Plan Amendment would be forwarded to the Minister for approval under sections 17(22) and 17(34) of the Planning Act.

This report recommends approval of a Rental Housing Conversion application which proposes to convert the existing apartment building containing 8 rental dwelling units with rents that all exceed Official Plan mid-range rents at 1673-1675 Bathurst Street to condominium.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council approve alterations to the property at 170 Merton Street under Part IV, Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site and grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 170 Merton Street contains the former Visiting Homemakers Association (VHA) building, constructed in 1969. It is a representative example of a distinctive Late Modern style office building designed as the headquarters for the VHA featuring octagonal towers and bays, ribbon windows, concrete brick with distinctive interlocking corners and an integrated exterior space with landscaping. The property is the first purpose-built headquarters for the VHA, an important social-welfare agency founded in Toronto in 1925.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In conjunction with an Official Plan and Zoning Amendment application (25 129087 STE 12 OZ), the redevelopment proposes a 45-storey mixed-use residential building, which includes the retention of a portion of the VHA Building. The terrace of the heritage building is proposed to be used for outdoor amenity space. A full conservation scope is proposed for the retained portion of the heritage building. The new construction has been designed to be compatible with and subordinate to the heritage building. The proposal conserves the heritage property and is consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

City Planning confirms there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years.

\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 recommends that City Council approve an application under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act to alter a designated heritage property at 530-550 Yonge Street, 6-8 Breadalbane Street and 145 St. Luke Lane, in connection with a Zoning By-law amendment application on the subject property, and that Council grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development includes minor alterations of the principal east facade of 538 Yonge Street and in-situ retention of 544 Yonge Street and 546-550 Yonge Street, to be incorporated into the two-storey podium of a 67-storey mixed-use building. The south façade of the existing two-storey commercial building at 530-536 Yonge Street and 6-8 Breadalbane Street will be partially retained and incorporated into a new corner building with retail storefronts on the ground floor. The remainder of the existing building will be demolished. 145 St. Luke Lane is also proposed to be demolished as part of this proposal. A Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) fronting on St. Luke Lane will replace the western portion of the existing building. A Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated January 2, 2025, was submitted to support the development application and revised July 17, 2025, and October 21, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through revisions to the application, Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposal conserves the designated heritage property and is consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy of the retained buildings and design of the replacement buildings.

At its meeting on November 18, 2025 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB37.7 and made recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Summary from the report (October 28, 2025) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends that City Council approve an application under Section 42 of the Ontario Heritage Act to alter a designated heritage property at 530-550 Yonge Street, 6-8 Breadalbane Street and 145 St. Luke Lane, in connection with a Zoning By-law amendment application on the subject property, and that Council grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development includes minor alterations of the principal east facade of 538 Yonge Street and in-situ retention of 544 Yonge Street and 546-550 Yonge Street, to be incorporated into the two-storey podium of a 67-storey mixed-use building. The south façade of the existing two-storey commercial building at 530-536 Yonge Street and 6-8 Breadalbane Street will be partially retained and incorporated into a new corner building with retail storefronts on the ground floor. The remainder of the existing building will be demolished. 145 St. Luke Lane is also proposed to be demolished as part of this proposal. A

\r\n

Privately-Owned Publicly Accessible Space (POPS) fronting on St. Luke Lane will replace the western portion of the existing building. A Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ERA Architects Inc., dated January 2, 2025, was submitted to support the development application and revised July 17, 2025, and October 21, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through revisions to the application, Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposal conserves the designated heritage property and is consistent with the policy framework. The heritage impacts of the development proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy of the retained buildings and design of the replacement buildings.

The Development Review Division confirms that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This Report recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a 31-storey (107.9 metres, mechanical penthouse not included) mixed-use building containing 289 units (including 40 replacement rental dwelling units) and 700 square metres of non-residential gross floor area at 38-50 Park Road. The existing buildings at 38 and 40 Park road, will be demolished, and a corresponding Rental Housing Demolition application has been submitted. The application includes the retention of the designated building at 50 Park Road.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development does not fit the existing or planned context of the site and surrounding low-rise area. The proposed building massing, including setback to Neighbourhoods designated properties and parkland, lack of a base building, and height of 31-storeys, are not acceptable, and does not provide appropriate transition to the surrounding low-rise areas in the Rosedale Valley.

\r\n

 

\r\n

An Official Plan Amendment is required to allow for the proposed height, to redesignate the lands from Neighbourhoods to Mixed Use Areas, to designate the lands as Mixed Use Area 2 - Intermediate in the Downtown Secondary Plan, and to reduce the right of way widening along Park Road.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends refusal of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit a 160.6-metre (49-storey), excluding mechanical penthouse, mixed-use building with 340 dwelling units. The proposal integrates the existing 12-storey office building designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. There is no Heritage application to alter the designated heritage building.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposal has not demonstrated how a tall building can be accommodated on this site. The proposal has not adequately addressed issues including wind conditions, servicing capacity, vehicle access and loading, or an acceptable relationship with the designated heritage building. Staff are of the opinion that the proposal does not conform with the Official Plan.

","financialImpactWep":"

The Development Review Division and City Planning Division confirm that there are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this Report in the current budget year or in future years.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council adopt the Bloor West Village Avenue Study Urban Design Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), endorse the High Park Neighbourhood Area Biodiverse Landscape Manual and identify the specified properties within the Study Area as having cultural heritage value or interest.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On July 8, 2014, City Council adopted a motion which requested that the Chief Planner and Executive Director undertake a review of the current built form, density, height and heritage value of properties on Bloor Street West between Keele Street and the Humber River. The Bloor West Village Avenue Study Final Consultant Report (the “Consultant Report”) was completed in 2018, which suggested a range of development policies and guidelines to allow for gentle, mid-rise intensification within the Bloor West Village Avenue Study Area.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Bloor West Village has a unique and active retail character that serves the local community and also as a destination. It includes existing and potential heritage properties, as well as important linkages to natural and cultural heritage resources. The Guidelines focus on the pedestrian-oriented scale of Bloor West Village as draw for residents, employees, and visitors. They support the integration of new development into Bloor West Village in a manner that builds on this attractive, livable community with a mix of uses, walkable streets, distinctive neighbourhoods, and access to a variety of open spaces, including parks and publicly accessible spaces.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The following document formalizes the previous work by providing direction and Urban Design Guidelines that have been developed to align with the current planning policy framework, which will inform new development in the Bloor West Village Urban Design Guidelines Area (the “Area”). Key objectives of the Guidelines are compatible intensification along a transit line, protection of sunlight in public spaces, celebrating natural and cultural heritage of the area, and enhancing the public realm.

","financialImpactWep":"

All proposed improvements within the City Right-Of-Way including widening the sidewalks, retrofit planting areas of existing street trees to improve growing conditions, new tree installations, planters, seat walls and intersections enhancements will be primarily completed as part of the adjacent development approvals streetscape requirements. Other funding may include Community Benefits Charge (CBC) in-kind contributions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services’ Capital Works Program currently includes planned capital work on Bay Street in 2031, encompassing local geometric safety improvements at the intersection of Bay Street and Elm Street. Coordination with Transportation Services will be required to align these initiatives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Elm Street Streetscape Vision proposes a phased approach of a gradual increase in sidewalk width over time. Associated with this is the gradual decrease in parking spaces as the various phases of the plan are implemented. Based on 2025 revenue estimates, the removal of a parking space will cost $9,376 per space. The first phase of the streetscape will be built in front of 8 Elm Street. This phase will maintain the number of on-street parking spaces with the exception of the entrance to loading/parking. If the entire streetscape is completed according to the Vision, a total of 19 on-street paid parking spaces and one parking machine operated by the Toronto Parking Authority are proposed to be removed, resulting in an estimated annual revenue loss of approximately $179,653 (before HST).

The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have reviewed this report and agree with the financial impact information.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council adopt the Elm Street Streetscape Vision (the Vision) for Elm Street between Yonge Street and Bay Street. The Vision aims to preserve, maintain, and enhance the existing character of Elm Street and will inform the review of development applications.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Vision illustrates pedestrian oriented design standards for the street, including improvements for pedestrians, public and café outdoor seating, planting areas, a potential mid-block crossing opportunity, and road safety enhancements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Vision was developed with community input, including three public engagement sessions and additional correspondence with the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (DYBIA) and the public.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Implementation of the Vision is proposed to occur incrementally over time with each phase contributing to the completion of the overall streetscape concept.

There is no financial impact to the City. The total estimated fees payable by the Developer, which include the city right-of-way occupation permit fee, and the new Road Disruption Activity Reporting System (RoDARS) - Traffic Management Recovery Fee, amount to approximately $393,000.00. An overview of these fees can be found below.

As Bloor Street West is classified as a major arterial street, City Council approval of this report is required.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Bloor Dufferin Holdings LP and Ontario Holdings Ltd is constructing an underground pedestrian tunnel connecting the existing Dufferin Street TTC station to the proposed 33-storey building. The tunnel will run north to south and will be situated on Bloor Street West, just west of the Dufferin Street and Bloor Street West intersection.

\r\n

 

\r\n

By way of background, City Council, at its meeting on February 6, 2024, authorized a construction staging area on Bloor Street West, to facilitate construction staging operations for Stage1 of the project, from February 29, 2024 to December 31, 2024, inclusive. The developer has requested an extension of the duration of the construction staging area on Bloor Street West, as the site has encountered unforeseen delays obtaining approvals, coordinating final permits, legal agreements, and stakeholder signoffs required to begin the work. Consequently, the delays impacted the original construction schedule and start of the work has been deferred to February 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At its meeting on February 5, 2025, City Council approved a time extension of the construction staging area on 980 Dufferin Street and 1141 Bloor Street West, from February 28, 2025, to January 31, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Presently, the developer is seeking an additional extension for the duration of the construction staging on 980 Dufferin Street and 1141 Bloor Street West as the project continues to experience delays. While the list of delays has been significantly reduced since the previous extension, the final legal agreements remain outstanding. Resolution of the final legal agreements are anticipated shortly, and the developer expects to commence early tunnel construction activities in December 2025 with major construction beginning in early 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Furthermore, since the time of the original approval, the developer has modified the traffic management plan by reducing the width of the construction staging area, in order to maintain a 1.2 metre wide bicycle lane on the north side of the roadway. In addition, closure of the southbound right-tun lane will be required to support the enforcement of the right-turn prohibition at the intersection.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It should be noted that this report is for Stage 1 of the TTC tunnel construction project only. The remaining construction stages will be discussed in future staff reports.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In view of the above, Transportations Services is requesting authorization to extend the duration of the construction staging area, with minor revisions to the traffic management plan on Dufferin Street and on Bloor Street West, for an additional 12 months, from February 1, 2026, to February 1, 2027, in order to accommodate construction operations in Stage 1 of the project.

The Director, Congestion and Network Management, Transportation Services recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council authorize amendments to parking and traffic regulations as set out in Attachment 1, to take effect from January 1, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, to collect traffic and transit data, monitor the performance of the transit priority measures, subject to data availability.

","financialImpactWep":"

Transportation Services has consulted with Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), who assessed that the potential financial impact of lost revenue and operating expenses will be approximately $245,000 in the first year and $239,000 in subsequent years (HST excluded). The estimated cost to implement the curbside and turning regulations is $130,000 (pre-HST), which will be funded from the TTC’s 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support 6-minute headways on the 505 Dundas streetcar route from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with these service improvements to 6-minute headways beginning in November 2025. If approved, the TPMs to support the 6-minute headways would be implemented January 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed changes aim to benefit the passengers using the 505 Dundas route, who currently total over 205,000 per week.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The purpose of this report is to recommend a suite of TPMs to help improve the speed and reliability of the 505 Dundas route and alleviate the risk of increased bunching and gapping associated with moving to a more frequent headway. The proposed changes span Dundas Street West between Bloor Street West (near Dundas West Station) and Dovercourt Road; and Dundas Street East between Yonge Street and Parliament Street. The changes include expanding ‘No Stopping’ coverage of the AM and PM peak periods on weekdays, as well as new and expanded left-turn restrictions on Dundas Street and Wellesley Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The change to curbside regulations proposed in this report is to have ‘No Stopping’ coverage in both the AM and PM peak periods on both sides of the street, where it is currently only AM or PM. The hours for the new ‘No Stopping’ period reflect the hours used on the opposite side of the street. This would make the ‘No Stopping’ match for both sides of the road for both the AM and PM peak periods, improving consistency for the restrictions along the corridor while improving traffic flow for the added periods. For example, if the north side of Dundas Street West has ‘No Stopping’ from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., Mon. to Fri., and the south side has ‘No Stopping’ from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Mon. to Fri., both sides of Dundas Street West are proposed to have ‘No Stopping’ from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., Mon. to Fri.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The changes proposed in this report only span a portion of the 505 Dundas route - broader changes for the entire corridor are still being investigated and will be the subject of a future report. The TTC will also work with the City to monitor the impacts of the proposed changes to determine if the extents and the periods need to be changed.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The changes proposed in this report impact the AM and PM peak periods for ‘No Stopping’ restrictions on weekdays while the left-turn restrictions impact different periods depending on the location. Based on 2025 travel time data, there are additional time periods during the week that have slow speeds on the 505 Dundas route, such as Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The TTC, in partnership with Transportation Services, will continue to engage with customers, local Councillors, residents, and BIAs along the 505 Dundas route on more comprehensive TPMs that will aim to improve the speed and reliability of transit.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The recommendations in this report support the initiative to improve transit speed and reliability, as outlined in the Congestion Management Plan. The proposed TPMs support the designation of Dundas Street East and West in the area covered by this report as a Priority Roadway for transit improvement, as identified in the RapidTO: Surface Transit Network Plan approved by City Council in February 2024.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As TTC operates transit service on Dundas Street East and Dundas Street West, City Council approval of this report is required.

The Ombudsman recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Toronto Employment and Social Services to implement the Ombudsman's recommendations from his investigation report, An investigation into the City’s handling of a resident’s social assistance overpayments (December 9, 2025):

\r\n


Recommendation 1- Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure clients are informed when a financial review is taking place. This notice should explain the reason for the review, specify the information the client is required to provide and outline the potential consequences of not providing information by the deadline specified in the notice.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 2- Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure caseworkers and other involved staff consistently follow the division’s processes for conducting financial reviews, including using and completing the financial review template.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 3- Toronto Employment and Social Services should clearly document financial evidence on client files and ensure that the evidence is saved in the appropriate sections of the case management system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 4- Toronto Employment and Social Services should give clients a reasonable opportunity to provide information before finalizing an overpayment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 5- Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure supervisors or managers review all overpayments over $10,000 before they are applied to the client’s case, with clear timeframes to ensure timely review.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 6- Toronto Employment and Social Services should inform clients in writing when they reassess overpayments, regardless of whether the overpayment amount increases or decreases. This notice should include information about why Toronto Employment and Social Services reassessed the overpayment, any changes to the amount the client was overpaid and a breakdown of the total amount the client owes. It should also include any appeal or internal review options available to the client.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 7- Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure staff consistently follow the division’s processes for internal reviews and appeals, including speaking to clients during the review and communicating internal review decisions to clients both verbally and in writing. Toronto Employment and Social Services should also ensure internal review staff take all reasonable steps to independently verify overpayments, including reviewing evidence, calculations and other relevant information, and ensuring it is accurately documented in the case management system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 8- Toronto Employment and Social Services should provide clients with adequate reasons for internal review decisions about overpayments.

\r\n

 

\r\n

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 10- Toronto Employment and Social Services should provide regular and ongoing training and guidance to staff on case management, documentation, overpayments, financial reviews and internal reviews, to ensure its policies and processes are followed consistently.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 11- Toronto Employment and Social Services Risk Management staff should follow the processes set out in the Integrity Review Model Guide, including independently verifying overpayment amounts and interviewing the client, when conducting integrity reviews. They should also ensure all the appropriate steps have been taken to confirm, reverse, or correct an overpayment before closing the integrity review.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 12- Toronto Employment and Social Services staff should review every letter related to overpayments for clarity, accuracy and contact information before sending it to a client. This includes reviewing letters that are automatically generated by the case management system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 13- Toronto Employment and Social Services should inform its clients if a different staff member takes over the management of the client’s file, regardless of that staff’s title or position, and provide the client with that staff member’s contact information. This change must also be documented on the client’s file in the case management system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 14- Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure it has an effective and consistent system for documenting its interactions with clients. This includes in-person visits, calls and written communication. For in-person visits or calls where staff is unavailable, Toronto Employment and Social Services should document the client’s attendance and ensure the client’s caseworker is notified. Toronto Employment and Social Services management should develop guidance for staff on what constitutes a relevant addition to a client’s file.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 15- Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure it meets its in-person client visit standards. When this is not possible, Toronto Employment and Social Services should ensure they clearly communicate with the client and make alternative arrangements to meet with them.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recommendation 18- Toronto Employment and Social Services should create a plan to implement all recommendations and report back to Ombudsman Toronto on a quarterly basis on its progress, until the Ombudsman is satisfied that the division has taken adequate steps to address them.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The additional funds are required to continue work for contracts, tax advice, and other related documentation for external investment managers working as agents for the Toronto Investment Board, including the recent request for documentation update from the Investment Managers as well as fulfilling the final Investment Manager mandates as required by Statement of Investment Policy and Procedures.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Koskie Minsky LLP was retained in July 2018 by Legal Services through a non-competitive contract in order to expedite changes in provincial legislation that came into effect on January 1, 2018. Koskie Minsky LLP has drafted and negotiated ten agreements to date on behalf of the Toronto Investment Board.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current retainer ended in July 2023 however, the carryover of ongoing work that started before this deadline with the two external Investment Managers was completed in August 2024 along with reaching a total of $476,375 on the overall retainer for Koskie Minsky LLP . While no additional work has been required since this time, there has been recent request to update documentation with one of the recently mandated Investment Manager which involves a very short and immediate timeline.  In addition, as part of the Council-adopted Statement of Investment Policy and Procedures, the Toronto Investment Board would like to initiate a search for two additional Investment Managers to complete the overall requirements outlined in the Policy.

On December 16, 2016, the City received a Zoning By-law Amendment application for 3019 Dufferin Street (the \"Site\") to permit the construction of an eight-storey, mixed use building. The then applicant appealed City Council's neglect or failure to make a decision on its application for the Zoning By-law Amendment to the then Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (the \"LPAT\", now the Ontario Land Tribunal) on November 28, 2017. The applicant revised the proposal on March 2, 2018, with the building remaining an eight-storey mixed-use building.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council adopted a Request for Directions Report at its meeting of January 30 and 31, 2019, authorizing the City Solicitor to attend at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal in support of the revised proposal. The Local Planning Appeal Tribunal issued an Order on September 6, 2019 allowing the development in principle, subject to a number of conditions. A Final Order was never issued on the appeal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The applicant submitted a revised proposal for the Site for a 29-storey mixed use building prior to an Ontario Land Tribunal Case Management Conference on March 20, 2025. City Council adopted a Request for Directions Report at its meeting of July 23 and 24, 2025, directing the City Solicitor to oppose the revised proposal at the Ontario Land Tribunal, and authorizing the City Solicitor and Staff to continue discussions with the applicant to address outstanding issues.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Following the Five-Year Official Plan and Municipal Comprehensive Review regarding employment lands, City Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 231 on December 18, 2013.  In July 2014, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved the majority of Official Plan Amendment 231 with some modifications. The Ontario Land Tribunal received a total of 178 appeals to Official Plan Amendment 231.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Official Plan Amendment 231 includes City-wide policy and mapping regarding employment lands, land use designations and economic policies. Official Plan Amendment 231 introduced office policies to Chapter 3 of the Official Plan, including Policy 3.5.1.9 which requires office replacement in the Downtown and Central Waterfront, Centres, and within 500 metres of an existing or an approved and funded subway, light rapid transit or GO train station.  In these areas, any development that includes residential units on a property with at least 1,000 square metres of existing non-residential gross floor area used for offices is required to increase the non-residential gross floor area used for office purposes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Policy 3.5.1.9 was appealed by a number of appellants, has not been adjudicated by the Ontario Land Tribunal and is not in effect. The Ontario Land Tribunal has not yet scheduled a hearing respecting this policy. However, similar policies have subsequently come into force through separate amendments to the Official Plan, but only in certain parts of Downtown and Midtown Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In May 2018, Toronto City Council adopted the Downtown Official Plan Amendment (Official Plan Amendment 406) pursuant to Section 26 of the Planning Act. In July 2018, Toronto City Council adopted the Midtown Official Plan Amendment (Official Plan Amendment 405), also pursuant to Section 26 of the Planning Act. Official Plan Amendments 405 and 406 were submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for review and approval. The Minister issued a decision approving the Official Plan Amendments with modifications in June 2019. The Official Plan Amendments were not subject to appeal and are now in force.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Downtown Plan contains numerous policies that emphasize the importance of Downtown as an economic driver for the city, region and province, with the protection and promotion of non-residential uses in the Financial District, the Health Sciences District, the King-Spadina and King-Parliament Secondary Plan Areas and the Bloor-Bay Office Corridor. The policies required 100 percent replacement for all office GFA, but allowed for replacement to be provided at another nearby site. The Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan requires that in Mixed Use Areas A and B, tall buildings and large redevelopment sites capable of accommodating multiple buildings will provide 100 percent replacement of any existing office gross floor area located on the site. All or a portion of the office replacement may be transferred to a receiving site within the Yonge Eglinton Secondary Plan area, subject to certain requirements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2023 and 2024, the City of Toronto’s Planning and Housing Committee and Executive Committee, respectively, requested City Planning and Economic Development and Culture staff study the potential conversion of office space across the City into housing, consider what zoning and other regulatory or policy relief may be required to enable economically viable office conversions and evaluate the feasibility of requiring the provision of affordable housing in lieu of the replacement of office space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Office Space Needs Study was initiated in the forth quarter of 2023 to analyze current office market conditions, understand the benefits and risks of converting office space to alternative uses, and explore policy options that would balance office needs in the short-term and long-term, while ensuring the City’s economic role remains competitive and resilient. The City retained a land economics and planning consultant (\"Parcel Economics\") to prepare an in-depth analysis and report respecting office needs to inform any revised policy proposal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In June 2024, the Planning and Housing Committee endorsed a proposed policy direction through Item PH14.9, which asked staff to bring forward a new replacement policy that: 

\r\n

 

\r\n

- directs staff to revisit the policy framework every four (4) years or until, in Council’s opinion, the supply and availability of office in the City has returned to a healthy state, putting in place a temporary office replacement policy framework that is responsive to market conditions and Council priorities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- varies on location within the city, with a focus on the geographies corresponding to existing replacement policies of Chapter 3 (3.5.1.9), Downtown Plan and Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- reduces office replacement from 100 percent to a minimum of 25 percent of existing office space and that such replacement may be replaced with other identified alternative uses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- allows the replacement of office space with any other non-residential use and a combination of affordable and/or supportive housing.

\r\n

- is based on the above and includes wording that allows the temporary policy framework to prevail over existing Secondary Plans contained in Chapter Six of the Official Plan in the case of a conflict.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The consultant’s background report was made public in July 2024 as part of PH14.9 and included analysis of market and economic trends, the policy framework, a jurisdictional scan and the results of stakeholder interviews.  Staff conducted further consultation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The consultant's final report was made public in November 2024 as part of a report to Planning and Housing Committee (PH17.13).  Based on the findings of the consultant's report, staff recommended that any replacement policy apply only to four key areas of the Downtown Plan and Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan with in-force office replacement policies.  The four key areas are: Financial District, Bay-Bloor Corridor, Health Sciences District; and Yonge-Eglinton Mixed Use Areas A and B.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The consultant’s report acknowledged that the feasibility of new office development is challenging in the near term but noted that consideration should be given to balancing current development pressures that predominantly focus on residential uses with longer-term goals relating to growth in office and other forms of employment and recommended that any revised policy or policies be monitored in response to market conditions and other factors.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Based on the direction from Planning and Housing Committee through PH14.19 and PH17.9, City staff pursued implementation of the modified policy through the existing Official Plan Amendment 231 appeal process, including that the modified policy would delete office replacement requirements of Policy 3.5.1.9 outside of the Downtown and Midtown and override the in-force policies of the Downtown Plan and Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan, such that office replacement requirements, as amended, would be reduced for sites currently subject to the Downtown Plan and Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan, which currently require 100 percent replacement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City approached Official Plan Amendment 231 appellants who had identified Policy 3.5.1.9 in their notices of appeal to canvass interest in mediation. The City also issued public notice of its intent to consider modifications to the policy and wrote to owners of office buildings in Downtown and Yonge-Eglinton Secondary Plan Areas inviting them to express an interest in participating in further discussions regarding revised policies regardless of whether they were an appellant or party in Official Plan Amendment 231 litigation at the Ontario Land Tribunal. Approximately 26 parties engaged in mediation represented by over 15 legal counsel.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Three days of mediation were held in October 2025, with the expanded appellant group.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through adoption of PH17.13, Planning and Housing Committee requested the City Solicitor to report back on implementation through Official Plan Amendment 231.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City Solicitor requires further directions on the outcome of mediation.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council affirm its decision of October 8 and 9, 2025 (Item PH24.11) stating its intention to designate the properties at 336 and 340 Jarvis Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The City has received an objection to the notice of intention to designate from the property owners within the statutory timeline.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The two properties at 336 and 340 Jarvis Street are located on the west side of Jarvis Street, mid-block between Carlton Street to the south and Sirman Lane to the north, in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood. The properties are part of a collection of five abutting Victorian era house-form buildings, from 336 Jarvis Street to the south to 344 Jarvis Street to the north.

\r\n

 

\r\n

336 Jarvis Street was constructed in 1863 in the Georgian architectural style with later Second Empire alterations. From 1890 to 1923, it was home to the artist and educator Frederic Bell-Smith. Beyond his well-regarded artistic output, Bell-Smith was also known for co-founding the Arts and Letters Club of Toronto (1908) and serving as president of the Ontario Society of Artists from 1905 to 1908. 340 Jarvis Street was constructed c.1863 and forms one half of a present-day semi-detached house-form along with 338 Jarvis Street (designated Part IV in 2007), both designed in the Georgian style with subsequent Second Empire alterations. 340 Jarvis Street housed the John Howard Society from 1956 to the early 1960s.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The properties at 336 and 340 Jarvis Street were first recognized for their cultural heritage value when they were listed on the City's Heritage Register on June 20, 1973.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council has until February 8, 2026, 90 days from the date of the end of the objection period, to make a decision on this objection as per the timeline under the Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have reviewed the objections raised by the owners and remain of the opinion that despite these objections, the property at 336 Jarvis Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Act under 4 of 9 criteria for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values, and the property at 340 Jarvis Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Act under 5 of 9 criteria for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the properties have cultural heritage value or interest and each meet the prescribed criteria pursuant to Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, staff are of the opinion that these properties should be designated. Designation enables City Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

The Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council affirm its decision to state its intention to designate the property at 324 Old Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act as set out in Council Decision PH23.13 on July 23-24, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to introduce the Bill in Council designating the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that Council affirm its decision of July 23-24, 2025 (PH23.13) stating its intention to designate the property at 324 Old Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The City has received an objection on behalf of the property owner to the Notice of Intention to Designate within the statutory timeline. The Notice of Objection dated August 26, 2025, is included as Attachment 1 to this report. City Council has until January 18, 2026 to make a decision on the objection.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 324 Old Yonge Street - Jephcott -Sanderson Residence - is located in the St. Andrews - Windfields neighbourhood in the North York-York Mills area of Toronto. It is situated on the west side of Old Yonge Street, north of York Mills Road, east of Yonge Street, and south of Highway 401.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property contains a two-and-one-half-storey brick house and a detached two-storey brick garage and was constructed in 1935 in the Georgian Revival style. It was designed by the prominent architectural firm of Allward & Guinlock for Alfred Jephcott (1866-1940), president of the Dominion Paper Box Company. Jephcott commissioned the house for his daughter, Amulette Sanderson, and son-in-law Arthur C. Sanderson,  a salesman with the Toronto Brick Company Ltd who later became Secretary Treasurer of the company. The Sandersons purchased the land in 1935 from St Andrew's Estates and Golf Course and owned the property until 1947. Directories suggest that Jephcott and the Sandersons occupied the property together from the time that the house was completed until Jephcott's death in 1940.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff have reviewed the objections raised by the owner and are of the opinion that despite these objections, the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, under four of nine possible criteria for its design/physical, historical/associative, and contextual values.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council has until January 18, 2026, 90 days from the date of the end of the objection period, or 120 days from the issuance of the Notice of Intention to Designate, to make a decision on this objection as per the timeline under the Ontario Heritage Act.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the property has cultural heritage value or interest and meets the prescribed criteria pursuant to Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, this property should be designated. Designation enables Council to review proposed alterations for the property, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance and refuse demolition.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The Arc-en-Ciel public art installation at Yorkdale Subway Station was originally created in 1987 by renowned artist Michael Hayden. Arc-en-Ciel was made of 79 chromatic arches, composed of 158 hand-painted 'neon' pairs (alternating ribs in the ceiling) of glass tubes making a \"neon rainbow\" inside the transparent ceiling of the Yorkdale Subway Station, with 79 colours forming this spectrum.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The arrival and departure of the trains activated the system through control sensors. The system had various functions managed by a central Controller, located within the Yorkdale Station's Equipment Control Room.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In the mid 1990's due to maintenance issues, the artwork was removed. Mr. Hayden and the Toronto Transit Commission have since agreed in principle to have a local contractor restore Arc-en-Ciel with new, updated LED lighting materials that are satisfactory to all parties.

Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Jon Burnside, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to provide a comprehensive update on:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. the current condition of the Ontario Science Centre buildings;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. the status of all major state of good repair investments that have occurred in the Science Centre buildings since June 21, 2024; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. any building stabilization activities that have been or will be implemented.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request the Province of Ontario to maintain the outdoor landscaping and activity installations at the Science Centre site located at 770 Don Mills Road, including the Teluscape Exploration Plaza, and provide public access to serve the recreation needs of the Thorncliffe and Flemingdon Park Communities.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

In June 2024, the Provincial Government announced its intention to move the Ontario Science Centre to a much smaller location at Ontario Place, and closed the Science Centre Building at 770 Don Mills Road. This announcement was done without consultation with residents of Flemingdon Park and Thorncliffe Park, who relied on the Centre for employment and education opportunities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Over 96,000 letters regarding the importance of the Science Centre have been sent to Premier Ford through the Save Ontario Science Centre campaign. The City of Toronto has an obligation to explore all possible means to keep the Science Centre at its current location in spite of the Province’s current plans.

\r\n


The future of the Science Centre or STEM-related (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) programming at 770 Don Mills Road depends on the upkeep of the building. The province has obligations to maintain the building under the lease, but City Council has not received information verifying that the building is being adequately maintained. One key concern is that if the province is not turning on the heat during this winter, the building’s condition could deteriorate at an accelerated pace. This motion requests the Province of Ontario provide timely information about the current condition of the building and any investments that have been implemented or are planned.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Furthermore, the Teluscape Exploration Plaza at 770 Don Mills Road, which is a free interactive outdoor venue containing park space and public art, has been significantly impacted by the province’s closure of the building and the current Ontario Line construction staging. It is critical that this outdoor asset be preserved as recreation space and public access is protected for the benefit of Thorncliffe and Flemingdon communities.

Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor Chris Moise, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council delegate authority to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to negotiate, enter into and execute on behalf of the City, a crossing agreement with Sun-Canadian Pipe Line Company Limited to facilitate the replacement of the existing playground located at 31A Clarinda Drive, on terms and conditions acceptable to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, and to make payments of amounts owing under the crossing agreement.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The City of Toronto has awarded a contract to upgrade the playground located at 31A Clarinda Drive in Ward 17. The construction to replace the playground will require access across the Sun-Canadian 200 m pipeline.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In accordance with the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000 (TSSA – Ontario), its regulations, and other applicable oil and gas pipeline codes, no person shall operate a vehicle or mobile equipment across or within a pipeline right-of-way unless written permission is first obtained from the operating company.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Sun-Canadian has reviewed the proposed scope of the playground work, including plans and drawings provided by the City, and is prepared to consent to the undertaking of the work through execution of a pipeline crossing agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Division Heads of Engineering and Construction Services, Transportation Services, and Toronto Water have delegated authority within their respective areas to negotiate, enter into, and execute, on behalf of the City, any crossing agreement, crossing permit, or related document required to permit the construction, installation, maintenance, replacement, and expansion of City infrastructure for roads, trails, bike paths, or utilities, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, and to make payments under the crossing agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The General Manager of Parks and Recreation does not currently have similar delegated authority for Parks and Recreation infrastructure construction, replacement, and maintenance. The General Manager will be seeking this authority through a Council report in early 2026 to address future needs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Construction work at Clarinda Park is anticipated to commence in early 2026. Accordingly, authority is being requested for the Clarinda Park project to ensure the crossing agreement is in place in time for the contractor to commence work and deliver the project prior to summer- 2026. Sufficient funding is available in the Parks and Recreation’s 10 Year Capital Plan Playground Enhancement Program account to cover the expenses related to the crossing permit.

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor to seek party status at the Toronto Local Appeal Body, and to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing, with appropriate City staff, in order to support the Committee of Adjustment’s decision to refuse Applications B0034/24NY; A0435/24NY and A0436/24NY, respecting 369 Cummer Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attempt to negotiate a resolution of the Appeal of the decision in Application (Applications B0034/24NY; A0435/24NY and A0436/24NY), respecting 369 Cummer Avenue and to resolve the matter on behalf of the City at the City Solicitor's discretion in consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Director of Community Planning, North York District.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment requesting consent to sever the subject lands into two (2) residential lots, and submitted two (2) related minor variance applications requesting relief from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 in order to allow the construction of a new dwelling and garden suite on each new lot (Applications B0034/24NY, A0435/24NY and A0436/24NY). Each new lot would contain three (3) dwelling units and require variances to the lot frontage and area.
 
On October 23, 2025, the North York District Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused the Applications (Decisions in Attachment 1). The applicant has appealed the refusals to the Toronto Local Appeal Body.
 

\r\n

In its report dated May 5, 2025, City Planning Staff opined that the consent application failed to satisfy the consent criteria under s. 51(24) and that the minor variances do not meet the four tests under s. 45(1) of the Planning Act. As a result, City Planning Staff recommended that the Applications be refused (Staff Report in Attachment 2).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion will authorize and direct the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body, along with appropriate City staff, in order to oppose the Appeal. This Motion will also authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City in her discretion.
 

\r\n

This motion is time sensitive and urgent as the City Solicitor requires instructions to obtain party status in the Appeal and subsequently attend the hearing in opposition to the Appeal.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Participatory Budgeting is a system of direct democracy where residents imagine how their neighbourhood could be improved, suggest potential ideas and then vote on how funds are spent to improve their community through capital projects. 2023 was the first year Participatory Budgeting was implemented in Toronto Centre to determine how community benefits funding should be allocated.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Between April 12 and November 1, 2024, my office hosted online and in-person engagements with local residents and business improvement areas to crowdsource ideas. These ideas were then vetted for cost and feasibility with City staff and presented to the local community to vote on which projects they would like to see funded.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In the St. James Town, Winchester Park and Cabbagetown neighbourhoods, six projects supported by the local community fit within the allocated budget of $750,000: One of the projects, Mural at 237 Gerrard Street East, required additional review.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The release of funds for these projects would allow for locally supported capital projects to move forward in a timely manner.

Street Haven has been offering services to women seeking shelter, housing, healthcare and other essential services since 1965.

Councillor Alejandra Bravo, seconded by Councillor Paula Fletcher, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council approve the naming of the pathway located in Earlscourt Park to “Claude Bergeron Pathway”, despite the provisions of the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The City received a naming application from the Joseph J. Piccininni Community Recreation Centre Advisory Council (JJP Advisory Council) to name a pathway within Earlscourt Park, located near Davenport Road and Lansdowne Avenue, to “Claude Bergeron Pathway” in recognition of his years of community service.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Claude Bergeron was actively engaged in community advocacy from the early 2000s until 2023. During this time, he provided input to the City on numerous improvements to Earlscourt Park, including enhancements to the southeast corner entrance, replacement of the decorative pool fence, and frontage improvements along St. Clair Avenue West. Bergeron also served as a long-standing member of the Joseph J. Piccininni Community Recreation Centre Advisory Council. In this role, he advised City staff for 17 years to ensure completion of the walking path now proposed to bear his name.

\r\n

 

\r\n

After relocating to Toronto in the early 2000s, Bergeron became deeply involved in his community, engaging at both municipal and provincial levels to promote city planning initiatives and architectural preservation aimed at improving the livability of the St. Clair West, Davenport, and Carleton Village neighbourhoods.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Beyond his local advocacy, Bergeron’s professional and academic career in architectural history significantly contributed to Canadian culture. He served as a Professor at Université Laval for 30 years, teaching architectural history, and published extensively on Canadian architecture. His scholarly work includes 35 articles in international encyclopedias, dictionaries, and journals. Bergeron advanced the study and preservation of Canadian architecture as co-founder of the Society for the Study of Architecture in Canada (1974) and RACAR, Revue d’art canadienne/Canadian Art Review (1974).

\r\n

 

\r\n

A formal property naming application was submitted to the City’s Strategic Partnerships Office, and staff have confirmed that the proposed naming aligns with the City of Toronto’s Guiding Principles for Commemoration. The application included an autobiography, letters of support highlighting Bergeron’s record of community service, and documentation demonstrating community endorsement of the proposal. Additionally, Councillor Alejandra Bravo hosted an online survey and canvassed local streets nearby Earlscourt Park to share the naming proposal with the community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Naming a pathway to honour Claude Bergeron’s contributions, both locally as a community advocate and nationally as a leader in the field of architectural history, is a fitting recognition of his efforts to preserve and enhance Toronto’s urban landscape.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Mayor Olivia Chow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. explore the feasibility of modifying the recommended “Transform Yonge” design to maintain public-realm and cycling improvements without eliminating vehicular lanes; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. explore the feasibility of extending the plan north to Steeles Avenue to align with the Yonge Street North Secondary Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council provide a report back to the appropriate committee in the first quarter of 2027.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

We must seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine North York’s stretch of Yonge Street and ensure provincial policies do not stall the long-overdue addition of safe, protected bike lanes. In December 2020, City Council adopted the REimagining Yonge Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Study, outlining road-safety improvements, cycle tracks, and public-realm upgrades between Sheppard Avenue and Finch Avenue, a vision years in the making that must now be realized.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Yonge Street between Sheppard and Finch is the backbone of North York’s downtown, home to the highest concentration of office towers outside Toronto’s core and a critical route for drivers, pedestrians, transit riders, businesses, cyclists, and micromobility users. Transform Yonge represents one of North York’s most significant public-realm upgrades. Delaying it now would jeopardize community health and safety.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This reconstruction offers a rare chance to widen sidewalks, add greenery and amenities, improve crossings, and deliver protected bike lanes that meet the needs of a modern urban centre. While the 2020 plan proposed removing a lane in each direction, since then the Province of Ontario has amended the Highway Traffic Act to prohibit the reduction in the number of vehicular lanes for the purpose of a bicycle lane, except as permitted by regulation. To move forward, cycling and pedestrian upgrades must be delivered while keeping all current vehicle lanes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The need is urgent. E-bikes, scooters, and other micromobility devices are pushing riders onto sidewalks, creating dangerous conditions for pedestrians, particularly seniors and other vulnerable populations, including those with disabilities. Timely reconstruction is also critical for the Highway 401 interchange redesign, which depends on Transform Yonge’s completion, and delays could have regional impacts.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Future growth adds to the urgency: the proposed North York at the Centre Secondary Plan anticipates roughly 100,000 new residents. This intensification requires a safer, more walkable, and multimodal Yonge Street that can support residents, workers, visitors, and tourists alike.

\r\n

 

\r\n

An updated feasibility study is essential, one that preserves all vehicle lanes while expanding sidewalks and adding protected bike lanes. This approach ensures Transform Yonge can proceed in a timely manner, comply with new provincial requirements, improve safety today, and deliver the vibrant, accessible, and revitalized urban heart that North York deserves.

Councillor Brad Bradford, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council express its support for the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank to be headquartered in Toronto, in alignment with the Quality Jobs and Global Competitiveness priority in “Sidewalks to Skylines: A 10-Year Action Plan for Toronto's Economy”, to grow and strengthen our economy and secure thousands of good jobs in Toronto.

\r\n


2. City Council forward this item to the Prime Minister of Canada, the Minister of Defence, the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, the Minister of Industry, Members of Parliament, the Premier of Ontario, and the Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Toronto is at a critical economic juncture. The City’s unemployment is approaching 9 percent and a concerning trend of out-migration saw more than 70,000 residents leave Toronto in the last year. Council must take aggressive action to grow our economy, secure high-quality jobs, and ensure our long-term prosperity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Canada and other anchor nations have partnered to establish the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank, a new multilateral initiative designed to finance critical infrastructure, secure supply chains, and strengthen cyber resilience. The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank is in the process of selecting where its new headquarters will be located – a decision that could create more than 3500 high-quality jobs, strengthen its host city’s position as a hub of finance and innovation, and provide a significant boost to gross domestic product.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Other cities such as Ottawa have publicly declared their interest in hosting this new institution. Toronto must advocate strongly for choosing our city as the ideal location for the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank headquarters.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Locating its headquarters in Toronto would set up the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank for global success and strengthen our city's economic future. Toronto is the engine of the Canadian economy, producing roughly one-fifth of the national gross domestic productand anchoring the country's financial system. The city is uniquely positioned to support the Bank with its unparalleled density of institutional investors and pension plans, as well as a world-leading artificial intelligence and advanced analytics ecosystem.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Headquartering the Bank here will drive immediate and long-term job creation. It will allow the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank to tap into Toronto’s diverse, globally connected workforce. This includes the capital markets professionals, engineers, and data scientists it needs to recruit and grow. By securing this institution, we place Toronto at the global centre for defence, security and resilience financing, ensuring that the economic spinoffs and stability generated by the Bank directly benefit Toronto residents and businesses.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

On the evening of March 16, 1988, a horrific poisonous gas attack took place on the people of Halabja - for five hours a chemical attack was launched against the Kurdish people by Saddam Hussein. During the attack, more than 5,000 people lost their lives and more than 7,000 were injured and many more suffered lasting effects from birth defects, cancers and post-traumatic stress disorder. This attack was officially defined, in 2010, by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against Kurdish people in Iraq and was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history. During Saddam Hussein's Anfal campaign (which included the gas attack against the City of Halabja), where mostly Kurdish people were targeted, it is estimated that 182,000 people were killed but the number could be much higher. In Canada, Kurdish immigration is largely the result of the constant wars and suppression of Kurds and Shiites by the Iraqi Government and many have come to Toronto to live a more peaceful life. The Kurdish community is increasing in number and has become a vibrant part of Toronto's multicultural makeup.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto is one of the most diverse and multicultural rich cities in the world and it is because of this inclusivity that people around the work immigrate here. Toronto has become a model where all cultures, faiths and beliefs are respected and accepted. We strive to support, celebrate and acknowledge our diverse communities, which is why this Motion is important to show that Toronto City Council, together with the Kurdish Community, acknowledge these horrific events. By raising the Kurdish flag, we are remembering those who were killed, wounded or maimed during the Anfal campaign and stand together to ensure that these types of crimes against humanity never happen again.

City Council authorize the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, on behalf of the City, to execute any security or financing documents, or any other documents required to facilitate the development, including any documents required by the owner and/or related legal entities for the development described in Table 1 in Part 1 a. above, to complete pre-development activities, construction and secure conventional financing, where required, including any postponement, confirmation of status, discharge or consent documents where and when required during the term of the municipal housing facility agreement, as required by normal business practices, and provided that such documents do not give rise to financial obligations on the part of the City that have not been previously approved by City Council.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Since the Appeal Report (July 10, 2024), from the City Solicitor for 200 University Avenue was adopted by Council on July 24 and 25, 2024 (Item 2024.CC20.24), the applicant has worked with the City to advance the design of the development including finalizing the amount and layout of the affordable rental housing units provided in lieu of office replacement, resulting in an increase in the number of affordable rental housing units from 20 to 24 units.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The June 20, 2024 settlement required a minimum of 15 percent of the converted office floor space and no less than 2,020 square metres of floor area to be provided for affordable rental housing units. Within this floor area, the settlement required a minimum of 20 affordable housing units with a 40 year affordability period, and a consideration for additional affordable housing units subject to final design. The affordable rental housing units were proposed to be located on levels 2 and 3 of the existing building. Through the more detailed design process, it was determined that 24, rather than 20, affordable rental housing units are required to meet the minimum of 15 percent of the converted office floor space. As well, the location of the affordable housing units is proposed to be relocated from levels 2 and 3, to levels 3 and 4, of the existing building.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The settlement provided that the affordable units were to be eligible for an exemption of fees for planning application, building permit, parkland dedication and development charges exemptions, unless already paid or exempted by provincial legislation, and exempt from taxation for municipal and school purposes for the 40 year affordability period.  As the number of affordable rental housing units has been increased in accordance with the office replacement requirements of the settlement, it is appropriate that the four additional affordable rental housing units be secured consistent with the 20 affordable rental housing units and be eligible for City incentives, for the 40 year affordability period.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On July 24 and 25, 2024, City Council authorized staff to enter into and execute agreements under section 4.1 of the Development Charges Act, to provide affordable residential units with statutory exemptions from development charges, community benefits charge and parkland dedication pursuant to the Provincial Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) (Item 2024.MM20.28). The value of the statutory exemptions for the 24 affordable housing units will be secured in an agreement registered on title to the land.

Mayor Olivia Chow, seconded by Councillor Jamaal Myers, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the City Manager, working with Metrolinx and the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, to advance implementation of more aggressive, active transit signal priority at intersections along surface portions of the Line 5 Eglinton and Line 6 Finch West, subject to contractual and legal obligations, and to provide an update on progress in the first quarter of 2026.
 

\r\n

2. City Council direct the City Manager, working with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, to report back in the first quarter of 2026 with a plan, including costs and staffing requirements, to implement further measures that improve streetcar network speed and reliability, including signal timing adjustments, a more aggressive transit signal priority policy, deploying traffic agents at key intersections to prevent blocked streetcars, and recommendations for removing on-street parking and restricting left turns during high-peak periods on key streetcar routes.
 

\r\n

3. City Council direct the City Manager, working with the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission, to report back in the first quarter of 2026 with a plan, including costs and staffing requirements, to expedite transit signal priority activations at intersections on the surface transit network where the required technology is not currently installed.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

On December 7, on a cold morning before the sunrise, hundreds of eager transit aficionados and riders gathered to launch Line 6, the Finch West Light Rail Transit. Opening a new, long-awaited transit line is a big moment for our City. We must ensure the new Finch West Light Rail Transit lives up to the promise of getting our City moving.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Finch West Finch West Light Rail Transit is projected to have 51,000 riders each day, and bring 230,000 people within walking distance of rapid transit. It will move generations of people across the northwest of our City, connecting them to jobs, education, family and friends with greater ease. It will help reduce congestion on our roads and help people choose transit over driving.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To succeed at the above, the Finch West Finch West Light Rail Transit has to work well. It must be fast and convenient to use. Now that the Toronto Transit Commission has full operational control of the line, the City can help play a role in speeding it up. Transit riders and experts have rightly pointed out that the Finch West Light Rail Transit does not have the active signal priority that’s critical to the successful operation of surface-level rapid transit. We can fix this.

\r\n

 

\r\n

We also need to be prepared for the opening of Line 5 Eglinton, early next year. Transit signal priority will be important to ensure that service meets the expectations of transit riders for whom Line 5 has been long awaited, and the City can start to get prepared now so that transit signal priority can be activated as quickly as possible.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The motions below direct staff to advance implementation of a more aggressive, active signal priority for the Finch West Finch West Light Rail Transit and the Eglinton Crosstown Finch West Light Rail Transit at intersections, so they can travel more quickly and get people moving faster. It also asks staff to expedite work in the other areas of the city that need it, including across our streetcar network.

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor Mike Colle, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning and the Executive Director, Development Review, to:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. develop plain-language, multilingual and accessible educational resources, with input from interested Councillors, for the public that explain how different provincial legislative and regulatory changes impact the City’s ability to shape growth and plan for investment in communities across Toronto and the ability of residents to participate in this process;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. make these resources available for Councillors’ offices by the second quarter of 2026 to print and distribute at City-led community consultations on development applications and planning matters, and make available on the City of Toronto website; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. review and update the educational resources annually and when significant changes to provincial legislation or policy occur that affect municipal planning authority or growth-related funding tools.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Provincial legislative and policy changes, including Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, Bill 17, Protect Ontario by Building Faster and Smarter Act, 2025, Bill 60, Fighting Delays, Building Faster Act, 2025, and associated regulations, are impacting the City’s ability to plan for growth and investment in communities across Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City can assist community members in understanding how provincial decisions and legislative changes are impacting local municipal planning by providing clear, accessible, and easy-to-understand educational materials. This printed, multilingual resource should be reviewed annually and updated as provincial legislative and associated regulations come into effect. This new resource is in addition to City Planning and Development Review’s recent work updating the community consultation meeting presentation template with updated planning framework information on Major Transit Station Areas and Inclusionary Zoning. The template also includes a general overview of the updated planning framework.

Councillor Brad Bradford, seconded by Councillor Vincent Crisanti, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Toronto Transit Commission board to implement a money-back guarantee to issue refunds for any customer who experiences a delay on their trip of fifteen (15) minutes or more from expected on-time performance.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

In Toronto, transit users are accustomed to delays and unreliable service extending the length of their trip. Many customers budget an extra 20 or 30 minutes on their trip to allow for these regular disruptions. This kind of service performance is unacceptable.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Riders are willing to pay for good service, but they should not be expected to bear the costs of arriving late to work, appointments and important events. Implementing a refund system would demonstrate that both the Toronto Transit Commission and City Council respect customers’ time and money.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This accountability is critically needed now, as evidenced by the delays and slow service on the new Line 6 Finch West LRT. To encourage transit use, the system must be fast, convenient, and reliable, not slower than the alternatives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

By adopting a money-back refund model that is successfully used in London, Singapore, Washington D.C., and here in Ontario by GO Transit, the City can win back riders by demonstrating that it values their time and money. This approach would incentivize the Toronto Transit Commission to improve performance standards and ensure transit becomes a fast, reliable alternative that is the preferred option for more Torontonians.

1. City Council receive the Ontario Big Mayors December 5, 2025, meeting update for information.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

On December 5, 2025, the City of Toronto hosted the Ontario Big City Mayors meeting at Toronto City Hall, where I was honoured to represent Mayor Olivia Chow.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The agenda focused on some of the most pressing issues facing Ontario’s largest municipalities, including mental health and homelessness, infrastructure, and updates from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.

\r\n

 

\r\n

I emphasized the importance of collaborative dialogue and clear policy direction on these issues, particularly regarding infrastructure and the work of the new PULSE panel, which will help shape the future of Ontario’s largest cities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

“Collaboration is essential to tackling the complex challenges facing Ontario’s largest cities. By working together on issues like mental health, homelessness, and infrastructure, we can create sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life for all residents.”

\r\n

 

\r\n

I also reiterated Toronto’s commitment to addressing homelessness and mental health challenges through both immediate relief and long-term strategies, including:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- opening warming centres as part of the City’s Winter Services Plan and expanding winter-response shelter capacity;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- developing the 2025–2030 Strategic Plan to Address Homelessness, focusing on prevention and shelter diversion;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- investing in programs like Eviction Prevention in the Community and the Toronto Rent Bank;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- executing the Community Encampment Response Plan, backed by $25M in funding, to transition people from encampments into housing; and 

\r\n

 

\r\n

- increasing supportive housing capacity by adding up to 450 new permanent shelter spaces over the next 2 to 5 years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Despite these efforts, municipalities cannot solve this crisis alone. We continue to call for urgent action from other orders of government through the Solve the Crisis campaign.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Key items addressed during the meeting included: a presentation and discussion on Solve the Crisis 2.0 focused on mental health and homelessness; an examination of infrastructure and utilities, particularly the impacts of the federal budget on municipal programs and planning; advocacy updates from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario regarding housing and infrastructure priorities; and considerations related to education property taxes and safety concerns.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Ontario Big City Mayors have Requested Other Orders of Government to: Expand Housing Supply, Expand Supportive Housing, Expand Mental Health and Addictions Supports and scale Up the Canada-Ontario Housing Benefit.

1. City Council increase the 2025 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one-time basis by $524,447.73 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained from the development at 89, 97 and 99 Church Street (Source Account: XR3026-3701195), collected for capital improvements in the vicinity, for transfer to the 12 Alexander Street Theatre Project (Buddies in Bad Times Theatre) for capital improvements to the building at 12 Alexander Street, including accessibility, safety, and theatrical space upgrades (NP2161).

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council direct that the $524,447.73 be forwarded to the 12 Alexander Street Theatre Project (Buddies in Bad Times Theatre) upon the signing of an Undertaking by the 12 Alexander Street Theatre Project (Buddies in Bad Times Theatre) governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Buddies in Bad Times is the world's longest-running and largest queer theatre, providing both a platform for queer artists and programming for queer audiences, but also a space to perform works that challenge sexual, cultural, and artistic norms. The non-profit theatre company has requested $524,447.73 to bring critical improvements to 12 Alexander Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The theatre at 12 Alexander Street is a City-owned building that has been used by the company for over two decades. The funding would be used to improve the building, including but not limited to: theatrical space upgrades, accessibility, safety, and energy efficiency improvements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Funding secured from 89 to 99 Church Street for “capital projects in the vicinity of the site in conformity with the City’s Official plan, to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner, in consultation with the Ward Councillor” would be used to fund these upgrades and improvements. The release of funds for these projects would allow Buddies in Bad Times to proceed with these capital improvements in 2026.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (\"Bill 23\") the Province of Ontario amended the Ontario Heritage and prescribed a deemed expiry date for properties undesignated properties included on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register. Properties Listed before January 1, 2023 will be deemed removed from the Register if they are not designated prior to January 1, 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The conservation of the City’s listed properties fosters civic and local community identity and pride, enhancing stewardship opportunities, and recognizes our collective history. This motion requests that City Planning staff review the following ten listed properties for potential municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act to ensure the conserve of these important sites, and would require appropriate consultation and engagement with property owners and the local city Councillor prior to recommendation.

\r\n

The General Engineering Company (Canada) Ltd. (“GECO”) operated a top-secret munitions plant during the Second World War, located southeast from the corners of Warden Avenue and Civic Road in Scarborough, Ontario.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The plant comprised 346 acres, 172 buildings, and over four kilometers of tunnels. General Engineering Company (Canada) Ltd employed twenty-one thousand patriotic Canadians — predominantly women — who risked their lives daily handling gunpowder and high explosives. These brave women filled over 256 million fuses for the Allied Forces. Scarborough’s emblem, “Sc/C,” which was etched onto every fuse, became a symbol of quality on battlefields around the world.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While altered, approximately twenty of the buildings along with underground tunnels associated with the former General Engineering Company (Canada) Ltd facility remain.  This motion recommends that City Planning evaluate the former General Engineering Company (Canada) Ltd lands under Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, and report on recommendations to the Toronto Preservation Board on and Toronto City Council.

In March 2025, City Council authorized Toronto Water and Environment, Climate and Forestry to negotiate and execute Wastewater Thermal Energy Agreements and other necessary agreements of up to 30 years to enable wastewater energy projects. These projects connect to the City’s sewer system for the non-contact exchange of wastewater flows to provide low-carbon heating and cooling solutions for buildings, thereby displacing natural gas use and reducing emissions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto's first wastewater energy transfer project, currently being commissioned, serves Toronto Western Hospital. Staff are currently negotiating the Wastewater Thermal Energy Agreement for a second project, located at Exhibition Place, which is anticipated to serve 2.5 million square feet and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by ~90,000 tonnes over 30 years. There are several other potential projects under consideration across Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current Council authorization defines \"agreement execution\" as the commencement date and specifies a term of up to 30 years. However, since construction and commissioning – which all occur post-agreement execution – can take months or years to complete, the actual agreement term will be less than 30 years. This is inconsistent with the intent of the Wastewater Energy Program and creates a risk that project lenders will not release construction financing even after the agreements are executed. The Wastewater Thermal Energy Agreements for the project at Exhibition Place is the first project to proceed through the formal Wastewater Energy Program approved by Council, and therefore the first instance where this issue has come up.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff are therefore recommending a technical amendment to a previous Council decision to clarify agreement terms, which will enable Wastewater Energy Program implementation, a key action in the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy, which aims to reduce Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions community-wide to net zero by 2040. There is no financial impact associated with this change.

1. City Council authorize the City Manager or designate to execute amendments to the Amended and Restated Funding Agreement between the City and Metrolinx, dated February 19, 2021, and other project related agreements as necessary to give effect to this motion, for Union Station Enhancement, Package 1 to permit additional funding for one (1) full-time temporary City staff to perform services related to real estate agreements and issues, increase to the funding for legal support for property agreements and such other terms and conditions as may be satisfactory to the City Manager, the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, and the Deputy City Manager, Infrastructure and Development Services, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

2.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

GO Expansion is being delivered in three “packages” of work. The Union Station Enhancement Project, Package 1 (“USEP-1”) includes enabling works to build a south concourse that will connect into Union Station. The City has entered into various agreements with Metrolinx to support the delivery of USEP-1, including to fund dedicated City real estate resources to manage the City’s interests during this Project. This motion is required to enable the City of Toronto to amend its funding agreement with Metrolinx and accept additional funding from Metrolinx to:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. fund one (1) additional temporary full-time City staff, thereby increasing the total City staff funded by Metrolinx for this Project to three (3) full-time City staff; 

\r\n

 

\r\n

        b. increase the City’s existing retainer for external legal advice for property agreements; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

The allocation of these resources is conditional upon full funding being provided by Metrolinx. It is imperative that City Council authorize the above so that the City can receive the funding from Metrolinx without delay beginning in 2026, and avoid either delaying critical work associated with necessary and time sensitive property management and heritage approvals. Staff will seek Council authority to adjust the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Corporate Real Estate Management, upon the execution of the Amended and Restated Funding Agreement between the City and Metrolinx, at the first opportunity in 2026.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

At its meeting held on February 7 and 8, 2023 City Council adopted Item 2023.TE2.1 which recommended amendments to Zoning By-law 569-2013 to permit a 5-storey mixed-use building. City Council enacted By-law 447-2023 to permit the development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It came to Development Review’s attention that there are minor errors in the implementing site specific zoning by-law that must be corrected for the applicant to continue ongoing construction activities. The corrections reflect the development concept previously considered by City Council, but recent detailed review identified details that should have been originally included in Site Specific Zoning By-law 447-2023.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The corrections will address:

\r\n

- Type G loading space access by residential and non-residential units;

\r\n

- Location of residential and non-residential units on the same storey;

\r\n

- Angular plane projection along the entire required rear yard setback;

\r\n

- Landscaping requirement for abutting a lot in the Residential Zone; and

\r\n

- Access to a lot from a neighboring lane.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The corrections reflect the main intent of the original application, and the building has not changed in any material way from what was considered and approved by City Council. It is therefore appropriate that the technical amendments as set out in the Recommendations be made to Site Specific Zoning By-law 447-2023, without the need for any further public notice.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This is an urgent matter as the site is currently under construction in order to provide student housing required by the university. Failing to correct these omissions from the zoning by-law would delay their building permit and building opening.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Cecil Community Centre stretches very limited resources to serve a high-needs, low-income population in downtown Toronto. It provides essential community services, like affordable childcare, housing and employment support, and language resources for those learning English, and also acts as a Warming Centre surge site. Acting as a Warming Centre caused the Centre to lose multiple paid bookings, and damaged its ability to raise private funds through hosting events.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Despite these many valuable services, Cecil Community Centre receives only $6,567 annually from the Community Services Partnership grant program, far less than the other eight members of the Association of Community Centres that provide similar programs. This wholly inadequate amount has not received a meaningful increase in well over a decade.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel, seconded by Councillor Jamaal Myers, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services to initiate a study to advance the next steps for the West Scarborough Rail Trail including initiating a minimum of 10 percent functional design, identifying potential opportunities to achieve a continuous multi-use trail experience to address challenges that were identified in the feasibility assessment completed in 2024, as well as identifying property requirements and preliminary cost estimates for the rail trail project, and to consider including delivery of the trail as part of the next near-term Cycling Network Plan (2028 to 2030), subject to resolution of constraints identified in the feasibility study, and subject to available funding.
 

\r\n

2. City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, in consultation with the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to reserve necessary rights in favour of Transportation Services to preserve options for a future West Scarborough Rail Trail development, including future pedestrian and cycling connections, in any future transfer of operational management decisions relating to the Warden Storage Track and associated Warden spur bridge.
 

\r\n

3. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services to work with Toronto Transit Commission staff to review opportunities to advance design and / or construction of the West Scarborough Rail Trail segment within or immediately adjacent to the limits of the Warden Storage Track Project in conjunction with the Toronto Transit Commission’s Line 2 Capacity Enhancement Program’s Warden Storage Track Project, subject to available funding for the West Scarborough Rail Trail project. 

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The City of Toronto has implemented a number of successful off-street multi-use trails alongside rail corridors, including the Beltline Rail Trail, the Don Mills Rail Trail, the West Toronto Rail Trail, and the Etobicoke Creek Trail.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In Scarborough, the corridor between Warden Subway Station and Kennedy Subway Station has long been advanced as a means of connecting the Scarborough Junction area, and Scarborough more broadly, to other recreational trails in Toronto. To the north, the Rail Trail would eventually connect to the east-west Meadoway linking Rouge Park and the central city, while to the south, the Rail Trail would present options for connecting to Taylor Massey Creek Trail.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In July 2022, City Council adopted a motion directing Transportation Services to report on implementation recommendations from the Warden Woods Community Secondary Plan for a West Scarborough Rail Trail along the former GN-GECO rail spur line. City Council considered these recommendations in June 2024, with a subsequent feasibility study presented in quarter three of 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To advance the feasibility of the West Scarborough Rail Trail, this motion requests Transportation Services initiate a study to advance next steps, including preliminary design work and identifying property requirements and cost estimates. The motion would also direct city staff to work collaboratively with partners, including the Toronto Transit Commission, to reserve necessary rights relating to the Warden Storage track and associated Warden spur bridge, in order to implement the West Scarborough Rail Trail.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The motion was developed by City Staff in Transportation Services and Corporate Real Estate Management, with Toronto Transit Commission awareness.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent as Council direction on this approach to support the West Scarborough Rail Trail is needed to inform the 30 percent design for the Warden Storage Track Project which Toronto Transit Commission is finalizing by the first quarter of 2026.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel, seconded by Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council increase the 2025 Operating Budget for Non-Program by $100,000.00 gross, $0 net, (Cost Centre: NP2161) fully funded by Section 37 funds obtained in the development at 2229-2245 Kingston Road (Source Account: XR3026- 3700726), secured for improvements to the school playground at Cliffside Public School, for the purpose of providing one-time capital funding to the Toronto District School Board for capital improvements to the schoolyard at Cliffside Public School, subject to the following conditions:
 

\r\n

a. the Toronto District School Board will enter into an acceptable Community Access Agreement with the City; and
 

\r\n

b. the design of the improvements will be to the satisfaction of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to participate in the preparation of the Community Access Agreement, in consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, provided acceptable terms can be agreed upon.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to execute on behalf of the City a Community Access Agreement with the Toronto District School Board for the capital improvements to the schoolyard at Cliffside Public School, for a term of 20 years and on such other terms and conditions satisfactory to the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.
 

\r\n

4. City Council direct that if a mutually acceptable Community Access Agreement cannot be agreed upon that the funds will not be transferred to the Toronto District School Board and shall be made available for other community benefits in the community.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Cliffside Public School is a well-frequented space within the Cliffside community in Scarborough Southwest, but its outdoor grounds currently lack a dedicated area for structured outdoor learning and community seating. The school has expressed a need for an enhanced outdoor environment to support student programming, small group instruction, and environmental education. Residents have also noted the absence of accessible gathering spaces in the immediate area that can be used informally outside of school hours.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In consultation with the school administration and local community members, it is recommended that the site be improved with an outdoor learning and seating area, including elements such as benches, shade features, and accessible pathways. This space would be used by students during the school day and would be available to the public after hours, expanding local open-space amenities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

There are available Section 37 funds within Ward 20 suitable for supporting local improvements of this nature. City Council authority is requested to release these funds so that the project can proceed with design and construction in coordination with the school community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

This motion is urgent as Council direction on this approach to support improvements at Cliffside Public School is needed in order for the City and Toronto District School Board to enter into a Community Access Agreement, thereby allowing for continued design and eventual implementation.

Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks, recommends that:

\r\n

1. City Council amend its previous decision on Item 2025.PH.18.1 by deleting Parts 3, 4, and 5,

\r\n

 

\r\n

Parts to be deleted:

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council approve that the Applicant shall design, construct, and deliver as part of the development, parkland in base and above-base condition, lands located along the west side of the site and to serve as a connection between Merton Street and the Key Gardner Beltline Trail, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation and the City Solicitor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

5. City Council request the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to enter into a Maintenance Agreement with the Applicant (or their heirs or assigns) for the duration of the lease for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the parkland and the maintenance obligations shall be finalized via separate agreement to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation.

\r\n

and adopt instead the following:

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council require the Applicant to design, construct, and maintain a Publicly-Accessible Space with an approximate area of 313 square metres on lands located along the west side of the site to facilitate a midblock connection between Merton St. and the Kay Gardner Beltline Trail, the specific configuration, design and timing of delivery of which is to be determined during Site Plan Approval for the development, to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Development Review.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council require the Applicant to provide a public access easement for the duration of the 99-year lease period in favour of the City over the approximately 313 square metre Publicly-Accessible Space to the satisfaction of the Executive Director, Development Review and the City Solicitor, prior to Site Plan Approval.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Through 2025.PH18.1 City Council approved a Zoning By-Law Amendment for 267 to 275 Merton Street, an affordable housing project on City-owned land that is being constructed and operated by Collecdev-Markee. In addition to amending the Zoning By-law, 2025.PH18.1 also approved that the Applicant (Collecdev-Markee) shall design, construct, and deliver a public park on site – to facilitate an improved mid-block connection between Merton Street and the Kay Gardner Beltline Trail.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The creation of an expanded mid-block pedestrian connection between Merton Street and the Beltline Trail is a key City objective for the redevelopment of the City-owned land at 267 to 275 Merton Street, implementing policy in the Yonge and Eglinton Secondary Plan. As part of the development deal negotiated by CreateTO on behalf of the City, Collecdev-Markee has committed to design and construct this mid-block connection, and also to maintain and operate it for a 99-year period (carrying all costs and responsibilities associated with doing so). These obligations are included in the 99-year Ground Lease, and through the recommendations in 2025.PH18.1 these obligations (which formerly related to a privately-operated Publicly Accessible Space) were converted into an obligation to provide this mid-block connection as a public park encumbered by the housing project’s underground parking garage.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City project team, CreateTO, and Collecdev-Markee have been working to advance this affordable housing project throughout 2025. The Developer submitted a Site Plan Application in May 2025 and began demolition of the existing structures in September 2025. They have also been working with City staff on the design of the public park and the terms of a Project Agreement that would be appended to the Lease to further secure the delivery of this park. Through this work, it has become clear that delivering this mid-block connection as a Publicly Accessible Space instead of a public park would provide value and efficiencies for the following reasons:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- the land is already in City ownership, lessening the value of dedicating the space as public park; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

- the Developer (not the Parks and Recreation division), through its Ground Lease obligations, will be the long-term stewards of the space, paying for its operations, upkeep, and maintenance. In this case, dedicating the space as a Park creates a duplicative administration and coordination layer for the duration of the Lease that can be simplified by delivering the space as a Publicly Accessible Space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Developer shall meet their parkland dedication obligations for this project through cash-in-lieu. The Developer shall be obligated through the Site Plan Control process to provide the Publicly Accessible Space that facilitates an improved mid-block connection to the same standard and size as previously envisioned. This amendment to the direction provided in 2025.PH18.1 will enable the City to achieve the envisioned creation of a new public space and improved mid-block connection, and all costs for construction and ongoing maintenance covered by the Developer, in a more efficient manner.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent as the project is currently under construction.

\r\n

  

\r\n

Requires Re-opening:

At its meeting of July 23 and 24, 2025, City Council adopted Item 2025.NY25.9, approving a Rental Housing Demolition Application proposing to demolish and replace 26 replacement rental dwelling units at 133 Erskine Avenue, including the provision of at least 1 one-bedroom unit and 6 two-bedroom units at affordable rents, and 8 two-bedroom units at mid-range (moderate) rents, as currently defined in the City's Official Plan, all for a period of at least 10 years beginning from the date of first occupancy of each unit. The Approval Report can be found here.

\r\n

After Council’s approval, the applicant identified a clerical error in their Rental Housing Demolition application with regards to the rents and rent classifications for two of the existing rental dwelling units. This motion would address the clerical error to revise the replacement rental units to be provided at mid-range (moderate) rents, from 8 two-bedroom units to 1 one-bedroom unit and from 7 two-bedroom units

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

Further to a settlement hearing held by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal on November 20, 2017, which resulted in site specific amendments to Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013 in respect of the property at 117 to 127 Broadway, the City secured the long-term lease of a non-profit licensed daycare facility, to be located in the development, as a Section 37 benefit.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At the time City Council accepted the settlement offer which resolved the appeal to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, it was the City’s practice to enter into long-term leases with owners of development, to secure non-profit licensed daycare facilities offered as Section 37 benefits

\r\n

 

\r\n

The instructions to the City Solicitor in City Council decision 2017.CC34.5, adopted on November 7, 8 and 9, 2017, were therefore to negotiate a Section 37 Agreement to secure a long-term lease, in favour of the City, in respect of the non-profit licensed daycare facility. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

This Section 37 Agreement was negotiated, executed, and registered on title to 117 to 127 Broadway as Instrument Number AT5499194 on August 19, 2020. Technical amendments were made to the Section 37 Agreement by an Amending Section 37 Agreement, registered as Instrument Number AT5655580 on February 19, 2021.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The building at 117 to 127 Broadway has now been constructed and occupied, and is subject to a Declaration under the Condominium Act, 1998. The non-profit licensed daycare facility space, comprised of finished interior and exterior space has been unitized, and the declarant (former owner of the development site) has retained ownership of the unit. The Declaration discloses that the unit will be used for the purposes of a non-profit licensed daycare facility, and provides that the daycare facility will be operated in accordance with the Section 37 Agreement. The declarant prefers to convey the ownership of the daycare unit to the City, rather than to enter into a long-term lease with the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion will serve to amend City Council’s previous instructions to staff, by amending the recommendation to secure a long-term lease for the non-profit licensed daycare facility, to add the option to secure the conveyance of the non-profit licensed daycare facility condominium unit, on terms acceptable to the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

No amendments to the in-force site specific Zoning By-laws 20-0973(LPAT) and 20-0974(LPAT) are required to allow the Section 37 Agreement to be amended as described in this summary.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition, this motion will amend Item 2025.GG24.14 (adopted October 8 and 9, 2025) to replace the existing recommendation authorizing a sublease with the non-profit child care operator with language that provides flexibility for either a sublease (if the City remains a tenant under the head lease) or a lease (if the City acquires ownership of the daycare space through conveyance), ensuring continuity of operations under either arrangement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Children’s Services staff and Corporate Real Estate Management staff support the recommendations of this motion. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent because the daycare facility is finished, save for minor items that do not impede its operation. There is a desire to have the daycare facility ready to be opened for public use, with an operator in place as soon as possible. Delaying consideration of this motion until the next City Council meeting could result in a delay in the daycare space being available for use, as City staff require authority to negotiate the necessary agreements and/or amending agreements before the daycare space can be opened.

At its meeting of September 5, 2024, City Council adopted Item 2024.NY16.1, granting approval to a proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application to allow the construction of 16-storey mixed use building at 6125 Yonge Street, near Centre Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since the approval of the item, the applicant has worked with the City to refine the draft Zoning By-law. Revisions have been made to address missing provisions for landscaping and accessible parking. Additionally, provisions related to building height, first floor height, building setbacks and encroachments have been slightly modified. The changes can be summarized as follows:

\r\n
    \r\n
  1. building height was revised to clarify the maximum building height to permit the height of the mechanical penthouse level,

  2. \r\n
  3. provision (F) is modified to align with the Zoning By-law definition for the functional operation of the building,

  4. \r\n
  5. a new Provision was added to exempt the site from a landscaping setback at the rear due to the proposal not providing landscaping next to the existing laneway,

  6. \r\n
  7. a provision was added to building setbacks and encroachments to identify the correct provisions,

  8. \r\n
  9. a new Provision is added related to accessible parking width due to the Provision in Zoning By-law 569-2013 related to accessible parking width being under appeal, and

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

At the Council Meeting on November 8 and 9, 2023, Parkdale Hub development concept was approved for Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment through adoption of Item 2023.PH7.5.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Parkdale Hub project envisions the improvement and expansion of City-owned facilities and community agency space and provides an opportunity to unlock City-owned lands for new affordable rental housing. It includes rental replacement and in May 2023 Council approved the site as part of the Housing Now Initiative to advance the affordable rental housing component of the project. Council approved the site-specific by-laws designed to permit the overall mixed use development concept. Original recommendations included waiver of certain identified fees given the nature of the project. A proponent has now been selected and the West Block (zoning Block A) component of Parkdale Hub is proceeding with implementation of the development approvals.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Pursuant to Item 2023PH7.5, the site-specific zoning for the Parkdale Hub was enacted as By-law 1145-2023 and was with respect to the lands identified as being municipally known in the year 2022 as “1303, 1313, 1325, 1337, and 1345 Queen Street West and 212, 220 and 224 Cowan Avenue”. In preparation for a minor variance application relating to refinements for development of the West Block, City Staff identified that the municipal address 1345 Queen Street West had been inadvertently included in the site description of lands comprising Parkdale Hub, particularly the West Block.

\r\n

 

\r\n

1345 Queen Street West appears to be a street address associated with the three-storey building at the corner of Queen Street West and Dunn Avenue, with the property address of 1375 Queen Street West (PIN 213020042). It is a privately owned property. Staff have confirmed that the diagrams included in By-law 1145-2023 accurately reflect the correct site lands and do not include 1345 Queen Street West. It has been determined that the reference to 1345 Queens Street is appropriately removed from several of the adopted recommendations of the Council authority as well as  in the site-specific zoning By-law 1145-2023 pertaining to the Parkdale Hub development. .  

\r\n

 

\r\n

Prior to submission of a minor variance application to the Committee of Adjustment for Parkdale Hub, and prior to finalizing required agreements and proceeding with the next phase of development approvals, a correction is required to remove the address inadvertently included and to modify original authority for accuracy. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council authorization for the necessary text corrections will enable the minor variance application for the West Block to proceed immediately.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

The West Block phase of Parkdale Hub is anticipated to commence construction by the end of 2026 and will deliver approximately 2,100 square metres of community space along with over 170 rental housing units, with a minimum of one-third to be secured as affordable rental housing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed text revisions to delete references to 1345 Queen Street West in the Council authority (Item 2023.PH7.5) and site-specific zoning amendment are minor and solely for the purpose of ensuring accuracy for next steps of the process.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

In order to proceed with submission of a minor variance application to the Committee of Adjustment for Parkdale Hub, and prior to finalizing required agreements and proceeding with the next phase of development approvals, a correction is required to remove the address inadvertently included and to modify original authority for accuracy. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council authorization for the necessary text corrections will enable the minor variance application for the West Block to proceed immediately.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

To accommodate residences with significant storage space constraints, it has been standard practice since approximately 2008 for Solid Waste Management Services to allow some residents to use one (1) curbside collection bin for a dual purpose. These locations use a garbage bin for garbage collection every other week, and use the same bin for recycling collection on alternating weeks. To distinguish the dual-use bins from regular City residential garbage bins, the lid of the bin is green. This signals to the waste collection operator that the location is approved to use a dual bin for alternating garbage and recycling collection. There are 358 properties with this accommodation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Circular Materials requested access to these dual bins for recycling collection. Council direction is required for staff to negotiate and execute an agreement that allows Circular Materials to collect Blue Box Materials from these City-owned assets.

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The transition of the Blue Box Program to Extended Producer Responsibility ends on December 31, 2025, after which producers will assume the financial and operational responsibility for the management of Blue Box Recycling from eligible sources (single-family homes, some multi-residential properties, long term care homes, and retirement residences). This motion is urgent as Council direction is required for the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services to negotiate and execute an agreement with Circular Materials to provide them with access to the City’s dual-use waste collection containers for the 358 residential properties that have this accommodation. The agreement must be executed by December 31, 2025 so Circular Materials can access the bins for collection as of January 2, 2026.

Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario to work with the City to establish a combined Federal, Provincial and Municipal, law enforcement joint task force comprised of but not limited to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Ontario Provincial Police, and Toronto Police Services to plan for, combat and prevent acts of antisemitic hate and violence directed at Toronto’s Jewish Community.
 

\r\n

2. City Council request the Federal and Provincial governments to immediately take action to fund not only this task force but provide urgently needed financial support to the City of Toronto and other municipalities to adequately address the financial pressure due to the unprecedented rise in hate and violence directed at the Jewish and other vulnerable communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council forward this request to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, federal Minister of Public Safety, the Solicitor General and Attorney General of Ontario, and the Toronto Police Services Board.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

On December 14, a horrific antisemitic terrorist act took place at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. This terrorist act targeted the annual Chanukah by the Sea event that celebrates the beginning of Chanukah, where thousands of Jewish Australians, tourists, family and friends attend every year. Fifteen innocent people were killed by these terrorists.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Police have done an outstanding job at protecting our many communities as part of Project Resolute, where more than $30 million above the approved police budget have been incurred by the City of Toronto, in large part to protect the Jewish community and with only nominal support from the Federal or Provincial governments.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In May of this year, the City of Toronto passed the Safe Access to Social Infrastructure (bubble-zone) by-law to keep places of worship, schools and daycares safer.  Earlier this month, the City of Toronto also created a $2.5 million program to support vulnerable institutions with a Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Grant.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Ongoing acts of antisemitism continue at Toronto’s places of worship, schools, businesses, and neighbourhoods despite the best efforts of our Toronto Police Services but it is imperative that all levels of government publicly acknowledge not only the domestic incidents of hate, vandalism and violence, but the borderless, international threat that antisemitic hate and violence pose for the safety of all Toronto residents and demonstrate this publicly in a show of clear leadership to send a clear message to those who pose a threat.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto’s Jewish community continues to experience not just a perceived, but a real and heightened sense of danger and insecurity as evidenced by the persistent, often physical incidents motivated by hate. These deep concerns have further been exacerbated by the events at Bondi Beach, demonstrating that even public celebrations of religious holidays have become targets of greater risk.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Given the international scope and scale of premeditated antisemitic hate, violence and acts of terror, it is necessary that all three levels of government deploy their police and intelligence resources to combat this ongoing threat directed at Jewish Canadians and all other vulnerable communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion should be deemed urgent due to the need for urgent action at all levels of government to immediately address the rising threat of physical harm.

1. City Council authorize the Executive Director FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto Secretariat to purchase the full allotment of 3,546 tickets that the City of Toronto has the opportunity to purchase with the primary purpose of revenue generation toward the hosting of the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2.

\r\n

4. City Council authorize the Executive Director FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto Secretariat to purchase additional hospitality assets, for the purpose of expanding the Host City Commercial Hospitality Program as a key revenue generation strategy for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

As a Host City for the FIFA World Cup 2026, the City of Toronto has the opportunity to purchase a ticket allocation of 1.5 percent of the stadium capacity. For Toronto, this results in 591 tickets per match for a total of 3,546 tickets across the 6 matches to be held in Toronto. To date, 1,594 (approximately 45 percent) of these tickets have been allocated to and/or included in Host City Commercial Hospitality Program as a key revenue generating strategy for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto. The cost for these tickets is accounted for as a commercial sales expense and paid from revenue generated from sales/donations. Use of the remaining 1,952 (3,546 less 1,594) tickets is to be determined by the City, with the primary use to be expansion of the commercial sales program, representing a significant revenue generating opportunity for the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Additionally, as other Host Cities such as Vancouver have done, the City of Toronto can generate revenue and provide access to fans by conducting a sweepstakes. The sweepstakes would be run as a promotional contest, in accordance with legal requirements, would offer Ontario residents the ability to pay a nominal fee for a chance to access tickets to a FIFA World Cup 2026 Toronto match, with winners picked at random.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In March 2025, City Council authorized the purchase of $10.7 million for the Host City Commercial Hospitality Program, as a strategy to generate revenue for the hosting of FIFA World Cup 2026. Representing an expansion of this strategy, the City has the opportunity to purchase additional hospitality assets which would be bundled with existing hospitality assets and used to generate commercial revenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Revenue generated through the above initiatives will be used to support the Soccer for All Legacy Program (mini-pitches, soccer hub at Centennial Park and free programming) as well as other legacy initiatives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The purchase of tickets and hospitality assets will have no impact on the $380.0 million overall budget for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Detailed financial information around the cost of purchasing the Host City tickets, procuring a vendor to deliver the sweepstakes, and purchase of the additional hospitality assets is included in Confidential Attachment 1. The reason this information is confidential is because the details are to be applied to negotiations to be carried out by or on behalf of the City of Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The sweepstakes must be in market by March 3, 2026 – to maximize revenue generation potential, launching the sweepstakes as soon as possible would be in the City's financial interest.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Confirmation of the intent to purchase the City’s allocated tickets needs to be provided to FIFA by January 22, 2026. Given the next session of City Council is on February 4, 2026, the December session of City Council represents the only opportunity to proceed.

\r\n

1. Second Floor Flooring - $50,000

\r\n

 

\r\n

Replace 3,260 square feet of flooring that is beyond its state of good repair throughout the second floor in keeping with the heritage aesthetic of the building. The current state of the flooring is in rapid decline, having been re-sanded and finished multiple times over its lifespan (possible original to the building). As nail-heads are now exposed, it cannot be re-sanded and needs to be replaced. Individual floorboards are disintegrating and popping out, creating a hazard.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. Exterior signage and way finding - $30,000

\r\n

 

\r\n

The funds would restore the large vertical sign near the entrance of the building which has fallen into disrepair. Heritage Planning has been consulted regarding incorporating more visibility into the heritage facade, and the Centre has received preliminary approval to move forward with:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. the refurbishment and enhancement of the iconic blade/vertical sign,

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. the installation of a new lit sign on the Saulter street side of the building,

c. a new lit information box, either on Saulter street (as pictured) or on the Queen Street Side (where we frequently host event banners), and

\r\n

d. if Budget approves upgrades to our entry way wayfinding.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These have been prioritized as they will greatly enhance the appearance and recognizability of the Ralph Thornton Community Centre and will advertise our services (especially space provision).

\r\n

Total is $80,000 between these two separate projects.

\r\n

Reason for Urgency – The completion of the work is time sensitive.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this motion is to increase the existing retainer amount with the law firm of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In the spring of 2025, the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat and the Executive Director, Housing Development Office issued an Invitation to Provide Legal Services for external legal services to support the development of affordable housing at Quayside with particular expertise in complex integrated construction development and financing. On June 16, 2025, a retainer agreement with Borden Ladner Gervais LLP as the successful proponent was entered under Purchase Order Number 6057271, with an initial amount of $500,000 to support the City in negotiations with Waterfront Toronto, the site developer, the development manager, the affordable housing providers and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation on completing the acquisition of property interests and securing the financing, construction, delivery and operation of the purpose-built and affordable rental buildings being constructed as part of Phase 1 of Quayside. The term of the retainer is until December 31, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To date, the first phase of negotiations among the City, Waterfront Toronto, the site developer, the development manager and the affordable housing providers of a comprehensive framework agreement for the Project has been completed and the agreement has been executed. Given the unique nature of the Project and the significance of the City's role, it has been challenging to adequately estimate the value of the legal services required. Given the complexity of this integrated development structure, the broad scope of the framework agreement, and the significant role the City has played in drafting agreements to date to move negotiations forward on tight project timelines, the initial retainer amount of $500,000 (exclusive of HST) will not be sufficient to carry out ongoing work.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed increase to the City’s existing retainer with Borden Ladner Gervais LLP is required to allow the drafting and negotiation of a suite of Project agreements and financing documents that flow from the framework agreement to continue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion seeks City Council approval of a Purchase Order Amendment of an additional $250,000 net of HST from $500,000 to $750,000 net of HST funded from the 2025-2034 Capital Budget and Plan for the Housing Secretariat.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required in accordance with Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement, where the current request exceeds the Chief Procurement Officer’s authority of the cumulative five-year commitment for each vendor under Article 7, Section 195-7.3(D) of the Purchasing By-law, or exceeds the threshold of $500,000 net of HST allowed under staff authority as per Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71, Financial Control, Section 71-11.1C.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The approval of the increase to the existing retainer with Borden Ladner Gervais LLP is necessary on an urgent basis to allow work to continue on project agreements under negotiation that are needed to advance the development of affordable housing in Phase 1 of Quayside to meet approaching project and funding deadlines.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

In December 2018, City Council adopted Item CC1.3, approving the Housing Now program, intended to activate City-owned surplus sites for the development of affordable housing. In May 2020, City Council adopted Item CC21.3, which approved adding 6 additional sites to phase two of the Housing Now initiative, including the lands at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East, and provided delegated authority to approve any lease, transfer and other property transactions involving the phase two sites.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In April 2023, following the completion of a competitive market call, the CreateTO Board of Directors adopted Item RA4.5, approving the proponents and endorsing key business terms to advance the development at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East. The project is a mixed-use development consisting of 3 residential towers – one market ownership and two co-op buildings. The site is one of the largest affordable housing projects in Ontario in the past 25 years and the province’s largest co-operative development, delivering a total of 612 new co-op homes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The two co-op towers are being developed by Kennedy Green Non-Profit Co-operative Inc. and are proceeding in the first phase of construction, which commenced in November 2025, with the market ownership building to be developed by CW Kennedy LP.   

\r\n

 

\r\n

Pursuant to the approved business terms, authorized in accordance with Item CC21.3, the City intended to sell a portion of the land at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East to CW Kennedy LP (the “Market Lands”) and lease a portion of the land to Kennedy Green Non-Profit Co-operative Inc. for 99 years (the “Non-Profit Lands”). The proceeds from the sale of a portion of the lands to CW Kennedy LP, the value of which is set out in Confidential Attachment 1, were intended to be provided to Kennedy Green Non-Profit Co-operative Inc. The City was not responsible for this payment, other than directing CW Kennedy LP to send the funds to Kennedy Green Non-Profit Co-operative Inc. on closing.

Due to current market conditions, CW Kennedy LP has indicated that it is not in a position to complete the purchase of the Market Lands in a timely manner. Because Kennedy Green Non-Profit Co-operative Inc. was expecting the funds, the City is pursuing alternative mechanisms to support the co-op.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

Although staff continue to work towards an agreement with CW Kennedy LP to complete the development on the Market Lands, authority is being sought to approve amended key business terms to ensure the affordable housing project on the Non-Profit Lands continues to advance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Housing Development Office staff, in consultation with CreateTO and Corporate Real Estate Management, and in accordance with Item CC21.3, are recommending the original business terms be amended to (i) to remove CW Kennedy LP and the Market Lands from the development if negotiations are unsuccessful, and (ii) issue a provisional funding letter, if required.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In the event the Market Lands are removed from the development, staff will assess opportunities to recover the funds through a future market transaction and seek additional authorities as required.

To ensure the project at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East continues uninterrupted, the City is seeking Council approval to proceed with the instructions outlined in this motion.

1. City Council request the Executive Director, Development Review, in consultation with appropriate City Divisions, initiate appropriate amendments to Zoning By-laws 438-86 and 569-2013 for the property municipally known as 10 Rosehill Avenue, to permit additional arts and culture sector uses that are not currently permitted, and to hold a public consultation on the proposed amendment and report back with recommended zoning by-law amendments in the first quarter of 2026.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

The property at 10 Rosehill Avenue is on land administered by CreateTO. CreateTO is working with the Economic Development and Culture and Toronto Music Office to explore potential cultural and music-related uses that would support Toronto’s creative sector on a temporary basis while due diligence continues to support the Toronto Builds housing site. These uses are not currently permitted under the applicable zoning. This motion asks Development Review to initiate a City-led zoning by-law amendment to enable appropriate cultural and creative uses on the site, with specific permissions to be determined through the zoning review process. Additional permitted uses may include an entertainment place of assembly or performing arts studio.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent as staff require immediate direction to initiate this zoning amendment prior to the report-back requirement in quarter one of 2026.

1. City Council direct the Executive Director, Housing Development Office, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, CreateTO, to report back to the March 10, 2026 Executive Committee with a development plan to activate the City-owned lands at 838 Broadview Avenue for a mixed-income affordable housing development, consistent with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework and the public builder model.

","financialImpactWep":"","agendaItemSummary":"

In May 2016, City Council approved Item 2016.GM10.9, authorizing the Toronto Parking Authority to acquire the property at 838 Broadview Avenue to address short-term community parking needs, while recognizing the site’s potential for future development. In December 2019, City Council adopted Item 2019.PH11.9, approving an affordable and market housing project through the sale and redevelopment of a City-owned property at 838 Broadview Avenue, alongside the mixed-use redevelopment of the adjoining privately-owned properties at 840, 842 and 844 Broadview Avenue. The City lands at 838 Broadview Avenue are currently under the operational management of Toronto Parking Authority and include a retail building and surface parking lot.

\r\n

 

\r\n

CreateTO and City staff have actively explored a coordinated development approach intended to maximize affordable housing outcomes alongside market housing across the combined lands, with both parties contributing land of equal sizes to the transaction. Despite sustained efforts, including providing four extensions, each six months in duration, the owner-led private-sector developer has not successfully delivered the intended housing outcomes. CreateTO and City staff explored every possible option to preserve the project’s viability; however, the developer remained unwilling to compromise, and the transaction ultimately expired in January 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In order to advance the timely delivery of affordable and rent controlled housing on City-owned lands, the City intends to independently pursue a mixed-income affordable housing project without reliance on the adjacent owner as a development partner. This approach aligns with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework, activating public land to improve housing outcomes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff are requested to report back to City Council with a development plan in the second quarter of 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City continues to face a housing crisis and must utilize all tools to activate its real estate assets for housing. This motion is needed to direct staff to independently advance housing uses on the City lands at 838 Broadview Avenue.
