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 a Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish 56 rental dwelling units, located at 221, 225 and 227 Sterling Road. The units will be replaced with 58 rental units, including 47 units designed for live-work uses, as part of the new development on the site. The proposal includes a Tenant Assistance Plan that addresses the right of existing tenants to return to replacement rental units at similar rents and provides financial compensation to mitigate hardship.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development on the site at 221, 225 and 227 Sterling Road is the subject of a related Zoning By-law Amendment application 21 151444 STE 09 OZ which was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT). The OLT issued a written decision on November 21, 2023, approving the Zoning By-law amendment in principle, with the final Order being withheld until all outstanding matters, including the rental housing matters and necessary agreements with the City, are secured. The OLT approval permits the development of 3 residential buildings with heights of 27, 24 and 21-storey (Buildings A, B, and C) containing a total of 851 dwelling units, including 58 replacement rental units. The rental replacement units are proposed to be replaced in Buildings B and C which will be constructed as the first phase of a two-phase development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also recommends approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, subject to conditions.

City Council direct the City Manager, the Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services, in consultation with the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer and the Deputy City Manager, Community and Emergency Services, to explore potential options to reduce financial barriers to accessing the Toronto Islands, including discounted fare policies and removing passenger fees, and report through the 2027 budget process on the results of the review, including recommendations and financial impacts.

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

Toronto Island is one of our most important destination parks, with 1.5 million annual visitors. The ferry service operates year-round, bringing passengers from across Toronto and the world. In 2027, two new faster, higher capacity ferries will enter service, making the trip to the Island faster and easier. Along with improvements to the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, and implementation of the Toronto Island Park Plan, we have prioritized making access to and on the Island even better.

\r\n

 

\r\n

With the transition of Ferry Fleet management and the Ferry Terminal and docks to Fleet Services in late 2025, there is a new focus on structuring the ferry system as a complete transportation system.

\r\n

 

\r\n

And with increasing numbers of visitors expected to Toronto Island  as we develop it as a year-round destination, this is the time to examine how an efficient and equitable fare structure should be implemented.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Increasing access to Toronto Island with updated ticketing options including discounted fares that have long been implemented through other transportation systems like the Toronto Transit Commission should be reviewed. It is also time to examine alternate ticketing options without fees that can meet our goal of a Toronto Island park that is accessible to all.

Summary from the report (April 30, 2026) from the Executive Director, Customer Experience

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report responds to direction from the Executive Committee to provide a plan and phased approach to simplify the 311 service intake process by streamlining public-facing service categories and consolidating service codes, where appropriate. It also provides an overview of additional planned improvements to simplify how customers access and track City services through a clearer, more intuitive 311 intake experience across all 311 channels (phone, email, online, mobile app, X, and in person counters).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This work is being delivered through two complementary initiatives that will modernize the end to end 311 service request experience, improving access, efficiency and transparency for customers:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. 311 Front-End Redesign: 

\r\n

 

\r\n

- A simpler, more intuitive self-serve experience through a redesigned customer-centric 311 on web and mobile app interfaces with Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities, serving as the City's intelligent front door.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Includes an assessment of opportunities to streamline intake questions and public-facing 311 service request codes and categories across all Integrated Service Divisions (ISDs).

\r\n


 2. Closing the Loop:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Strengthened Closing the Loop practices, including more detailed service request milestones and more detailed progress updates to customers, to improve transparency, communication, and service continuity after a request is submitted across all Integrated Service Divisions.

\r\n


The Customer Experience Division (CXD) has started implementing improvements in a phased approach, prioritizing high‑impact divisions including Parks (in Parks and Recreation), Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS), Transportation Services, and Urban Forestry (in Environment, Climate and Forestry), with enhancements for both projects scaling across Integrated Service Divisions, including Community Recreation (a new Integrated Service Division coming by end of 2026) by the fourth quarter of 2027. This work will be informed by initial customer research and reflective of user needs, and ongoing measurement and customer feedback will inform continuous improvement to ensure the 311 service continues to evolve to meet customer needs and expectations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

By simplifying service intake, reducing the number of steps required to submit a service request, and streamlining service codes, these initiatives will reduce the time and effort required for customers to submit requests while improving the accuracy and reliability of intake. Although simplifying service intake will benefit customers using any 311 channel, it is particularly important for improving the self-serve experience. A clearer, more intuitive intake process makes it easier for customers to submit service requests correctly on the first attempt, increasing confidence and adoption of 311's digital channels.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At the same time, improvements to customer communications, transparency, and service continuity will ensure customers better understand what is happening with their requests, why work is being done, and what outcomes were achieved. Clearer milestones, improved navigation of service categories, and more consistent status updates will provide greater confidence in City services and manage expectations with clear and accurate timelines, reducing the need for follow‑up inquiries. Ultimately, these initiatives will ensure that customers accessing 311 services get an integrated, user-friendly experience, regardless of which or how many Integrated Service Divisions are involved with the completion of the service request.

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

As part of the 2026 Budget I included funding for a new program that offers residents the opportunity to purchase a rain barrel at extremely low cost. Rain barrels reduce stormwater runoff and reduce water consumption, particularly in the summer, and this program makes them affordable for homeowners.

\r\n

The program has proved extremely popular, with the initial allocation selling out in just 9 hours. Many inquiries have been received about the possibility of additional barrels, showing that there is additional demand from residents for an expansion.

This is part of a suite of initiatives in the 2026 Budget that made life more affordable for homeowners by helping them with the cost of upgrading their homes to be more energy efficient and resilient.

8. City Council, in accordance with Section 71-11.1C of the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 71 (Financial Control), authorize the City Solicitor to amend the retainer with Borden Ladner Gervais LLP on Purchase Order Number 6057271 by increasing the value by $375,000 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($381,600 net of HST recoveries), from $750,000 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($763,200 net of HST recoveries) to $1,125,000 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($1,144,800 net of HST recoveries).

","financialImpactWep":"

The recommendations in this report provide the approvals required to secure a location in the Quayside development for a new, approximately 1,850 square metre TPL branch. Through amendments to the Development Agreement between Dream and Waterfront Toronto and through an amending Section 37 Agreement, the site developer will convey to the City the base building, land, and required easements for the library as part of the Quayside development. The City will provide capital funding of $2.5 million, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits from 31 Parliament Street and 141 Bay Street developments to support construction of the base building condition for the new library branch. Consideration for the reciprocal crane swing agreements can be satisfied through the mutual exchange of real estate interests, with no cash consideration required.

\r\n

 

\r\n

TPL will be responsible for the fit-out of the library space, and for the ongoing operations of the branch. The estimated cost to complete the fit-out is $13.0 million, with work expected to commence in 2029, or upon conveyance. Funding has been identified as follows:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- $4.0 million reallocation within TPL’s 10-Year Capital Plan, with no impact to planned State of Good Repair (“SOGR”) projects.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- $4.0 million in Section 37 community benefits received through the development at 31 Parliament Street agreement, to be added to the TPL’s 10-Year Capital Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- $5.0 million donations to be received from the TPL Foundation in support of the fit-out of the new Quayside branch, to be added to the TPL’s 10-Year Capital Plan. TPL has worked with the TPL Foundation to seek and secure philanthropic contributions to support the fit-out of a new branch in the Quayside development. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The creation of a new capital project, along with the associated project cost and funding for the fit-out of the TPL branch within the Quayside development will be brought forward for consideration through the 2027 budget process. This will allow sufficient time for TPL to complete the necessary due diligence to validate project cash flow timing. The creation of the project is subject to confirmation that the $13.0 million in funding required to complete the fit-out, as identified above, has been secured.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Operating budget impacts resulting from the addition of a new neighbourhood branch are estimated to be $1.5 million to $2.0 million annually. These financial impacts are not expected to commence until at least 2031, following completion of the fit-out work and as TPL plans to open the branch to the public. TPL will continue to monitor and refine this estimate and will bring forward the associated operating impacts for consideration through future budget processes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The total value of amendment with the Borden Ladner Gervais LLP retainer on Purchase Order Number 6057271 is $375,000 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($381,600 net of HST recoveries). This will increase the current purchase order from $750,000 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($763,200 net of HST recoveries) to $1,125,000 excluding all applicable taxes and charges ($1,144,800 net of HST recoveries), for additional legal support related to the Quayside Development Project. Funding in the amount of $381,600 net of HST recoveries for this contract amendment is included in the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for the Housing Secretariat and the Housing Development Office under the capital project CAF003-03.

\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 purpose of this report is to obtain various Council authorities to advance the first phase of the Quayside development in the waterfront, and to facilitate the delivery of a Toronto Public Library (“TPL”) branch in the central waterfront.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Quayside will be a master-planned, mixed-use complete community that builds on development in the adjacent East Bayfront lands and the emerging Keating Channel West Precinct. This 4.9-hectare area on Toronto’s waterfront, located at Queens Quay East and Parliament Street (“Quayside Lands”), will include new homes, parks and public spaces, community spaces and new and improved infrastructure, roads, and public realm.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Waterfront Toronto is leading the delivery of Quayside, in partnership with the City of Toronto Housing Development Office, Housing Secretariat, and Waterfront Secretariat. Waterfront Toronto’s development partners, Dream Unlimited (“Dream”) and Great Gulf Group (“Great Gulf”), are responsible for the delivery of purpose-built rental and condominium units, respectively, on Quayside development blocks.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City, Waterfront Toronto, and Dream have worked on an accelerated plan to maximize the number of affordable and purpose-built rental homes that can be delivered in the first phase of development at Quayside, prioritizing the delivery of affordable and purpose-built rental homes on an expedited basis.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Along with the accelerated plan for affordable and purpose-built rental housing, the community hub space in the Quayside development presents an opportunity to house a new, approximately 1,850 square metre (20,000 square foot) TPL branch. With the accelerated delivery of affordable and purpose-built rental housing at Quayside, a library can be delivered with reduced timing. Further, it would enable the entire Phase 1 Block 1C development block to come into public ownership once the library facility is transferred to the City. This new branch has been approved by the Toronto Public Library Board (“TPLB”). The Toronto and East York Community Council (“TEYCC”) considered zoning and Section 37 amendments to enable the library facility in the first phase of Quayside development at a statutory public meeting on May 28, 2026 through item 2026.TE33.2 (the “TEYCC Report”). The recommendations in this report, together with the recommendations in the TEYCC Report, would enable the delivery of a new TPL branch and leverage developer construction obligations and Section 37 funds. The delivery of the TPL branch as the required community hub use in the Quayside development requires Council adoption of the recommendations in this report and the TEYCC Report, both of which are anticipated to be considered at the June 24, 2026 meeting of City Council.

The City Manager recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council, as shareholder, treat the portion of the City Council meeting at which this report is considered as the Annual General Meeting of the Shareholder for Casa Loma Corporation (the \"Corporation\") and receive the Board-approved \"Casa Loma Corporation 2025 Annual Report\" and the \"Casa Loma Corporation 2025 Audited Financial Statements\" forming Attachments 1 and 2 to this report, respectively.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council, as shareholder, terminate the appointments of all members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation effective immediately and thank them for their service to the City of Toronto as board members.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council, as shareholder, resolve that the Corporation be voluntarily wound up under the provisions of Part XVI of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario); and that in connection therewith, City Council:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. appoint the City Controller and Chief Accountant as the liquidator of the Corporation (the \"Liquidator\") to wind up the business and distribute the property of the Corporation;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. authorize and direct the Liquidator to execute and file all required notices and documents, including the Notice Concerning Winding Up, with the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery (Service Ontario) to give effect to this resolution; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council delegate authority to the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, or their representative, to oversee and administer the interests of the City in Casa Loma and in particular the operating agreement with Liberty Entertainment Group.

Annual Financial Statements

\r\n

 

\r\n

As of year-end 2025, the total financial assets of Casa Loma Corporation (the Corporation) were $4,602,569. These assets included $3,559,604 in cash, $1,000,000 in investments, $38,269 in interest received from the City of Toronto (City), $4,615 in interest receivable on bank deposits, and other receivables of $81.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Corporation's total financial liabilities amounted to $51,093. These liabilities consisted of accrued audit fees payable of $28,956 for 2024 and 2025, and government remittances payable to the Canada Revenue Agency of $22,137.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Wind-up and Dissolution of the Corporation

\r\n

 

\r\n

The wind-up of the Corporation and the subsequent transfer of its operations and assets to the City will be treated as a restructuring transaction in line with Public Sector Accounting Handbook guidelines. There will be no anticipated consolidated gain or loss. As part of the wind-up, any remaining Corporation financial assets and liabilities will be transferred to the City at their net book values.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Corporation does not expect to incur any additional wind-up costs for the dissolution. If costs do need to be incurred, they will be funded through the Corporation's cash assets under the Liquidator's oversight before the dissolution.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Upon dissolution, the operations currently managed by the Corporation will be assumed directly by the City. The current agreements with Liberty Entertainment Group (LEG) and its related corporate entities provide for this arrangement. Accordingly, the existing lease and operating agreements will remain unchanged and in effect.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Corporation has historically generated an operating surplus, which has contributed to the City's Casa Loma Capital Reserve Fund to support capital requirements. Following the Corporation's dissolution, rental income under the contracts with LEG will be recorded revenues of Economic Development and Culture Division (EDC). Property taxes and any other operating charges will be borne by EDC. EDC will continue to contribute to the Casa Loma Reserve fund in accordance with Casa Loma's operational requirements and capital needs. Any accumulated surplus from the operating revenues, net of the operating costs, from the Casa Loma lease and operating agreements will be allocated to the Casa Loma Reserves. These funds will be used exclusively to support future capital projects and other requirements related to Casa Loma's buildings and properties.

\r\n

 

\r\n

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

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council, as sole shareholder of Casa Loma Corporation (the Corporation), receive the Corporation’s 2025 Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements and approve the voluntary wind-up and dissolution of the Corporation. Established in 2011 as an interim governance structure to stabilize operations, the Corporation has fulfilled its mandate. With long-term lease and operating agreements between the City and a third party for the use of Casa Loma in place, the Corporation is no longer required. Dissolution will enable the City of Toronto to assume direct oversight of Casa Loma through the Economic Development and Culture Division (EDC), improving administrative efficiency and aligning governance with current operational needs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The report further recommends the appointment of the City Controller & Chief Accountant as Liquidator to undertake the Corporation's wind-up process, the transfer of all of the Corporation's assets and liabilities to the City, and the direction of net future lease revenues to the Casa Loma Reserve Fund within EDC to support ongoing capital and other requirements. The existing lease and operating agreements for the use of Casa Loma properties with Liberty Entertainment Group (LEG) will continue until January 2034. There are no net financial or operational impacts to the City anticipated because of the wind-up, and the transition is expected to be substantially completed in 2026, with continued public access and operations maintained throughout.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Once wind-up activities are complete, a subsequent report to Committee and Council will be required to report out on financials and complete the formal dissolution process, in accordance with the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).

\r\n

1. City Council receive this report for information.

","financialImpactWep":"

From an operating budget perspective, when recognizing only realized gains and losses, the General Fund earned $391.0 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

The Sinking Fund portfolio had a market return of 2.7 per cent and generated approximately $85 million in total market return in the year 2025. These earnings are retained within the Sinking Fund 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 year 2025

\r\n

2.  General Market Update and Benchmark Performance

\r\n

3.  City of Toronto Investment Policy and Procedures

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City's 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 3.6 percent and generated $391.0 million for the year ending December 31, 2025.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Short Term Fund, including the short-term investments of the Long Term Fund (LTF), was about 40 percent of the overall General Fund by December 2025 compared to 48 percent from the pre-pandemic level in 2019. This lower cash position was primarily due to an increased spending rate on capital projects. Staff will continue to monitor liquidity levels in 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City's Sinking Fund portfolio is separate from the General Fund and holds the investment funds for future debt repayments. For the year ending December 31, 2025, the Sinking Fund portfolio had a market return of 2.7 percent and generated approximately $85 million in total market return.

\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 December 31, 2025, approximately 95 percent of both the Sinking Fund and 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 percent allocated to fixed income and 20 percent to global equities. The Board completed contract negotiations with two real asset managers in the first half of 2024 with funding in the second half of the year. Adding real assets to the current investment portfolios will enhance the overall portfolios' risk-adjusted investment return and align with the Council approved policy target asset mix.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It is a legislative requirement that the Investment Policy be reviewed annually. Staff have reviewed the Investment Policy and no changes are recommended at this time given that policies have only been in place since 2018 and in that time we have experienced several years of volatility triggered by COVID-19 impacts. The City of Toronto Investment Policy can be reviewed in Attachment 1 of this report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the year 2024, 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.

\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 on a quarterly basis. This investment fund-level ESG reporting process will complement the existing corporate-level ESG performance report. At the end of December 2025, the City's long-term investment portfolios overall score was \"AA\" and is within the \"Leader\" category of the selected market benchmark as depicted in the investment policy.  The Carbon Intensity Score for both the LTF and the SF are better than benchmark, with the trend in this indicator showing steady improvement over the years.

While there are no immediate costs to the City of providing either loans or loan guarantees, there are financial risks inherent in loans and loan guarantees, both of which are financial commitments made by the City to eligible entities. Depending on the magnitude, either may have potential impacts on the City's credit rating, as well as the City's own borrowing capacity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For loans, there is a potential risk of non-repayment by the borrower, in which case the City would absorb the loss of any outstanding loan amounts.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For loan guarantees, there is also a potential risk of non-repayment.  Should an entity default on its debt obligations that are supported by a City loan guarantee, the City would be required to pay all, or a portion of the loan guarantee amount to the third-party lender. In this event, the City would be required to find funds to meet the payment obligations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Should the City be required to pay out loan guarantee amounts, the City would seek to recover those funds from the supported entity.  However, as the entity would have already demonstrated an inability to meet its loan repayment obligations, it may be difficult for the City to recover its funds from that entity in the form of a loan. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Therefore, in order to mitigate the City's risk of not being able to recover paid loan guarantee amounts, City policy requires eligible entities to have an \"Existing Financial Relationship\" with the City, which would allow the City to exercise some control over the entity's finances. Existing Financial Relationship means that the City already provides monetary grants or other discretionary financial contributions to the entity, or that the City has a level of control over the entity's budget. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

As at December 31, 2025, the City had authorized line of credit guarantees amounting to approximately $5.995 million, provided capital loan guarantees of $34.46 million, had outstanding direct capital loans of $36.845 million, and provided a direct line of credit (granted on an exceptional basis) of $600,000 as are identified below.

An outstanding interest-only City loan in the amount of $4,047,660 to the Lakeshore Arena Corporation (LAC), set to expire in October of 2026, is being recommended for refinancing to allow for repayment of both principal and interest over a 17-year term, commencing June 30, 2026, which is consistent with the repayment timeline of the LAC existing capital loan from Infrastructure Ontario.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report provides annual update reporting on the existing portfolio of City direct loans, capital loan and line of credit guarantees. The portfolio of loans included in this report is separate and apart from other internal City loan programs (e.g., Home Ownership Assistance Program, Sustainable Energy Plan Financing Program) which are covered under other City policies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As at December 31, 2025, the City had authorized line of credit guarantees amounting to approximately $5.995 million, capital loan guarantees for underlying loans of $34.46 million, outstanding direct capital loan balances of $36.845 million, and one direct line of credit with a balance of $600,000.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also recommends the refinancing of an outstanding, interest-only capital loan of $4.048 million to Lakeshore Arena Corporation (LAC), which is currently set to expire in October 2026. The refinancing will allow for repayment of both principal and interest over a 17-year term, commencing June 30, 2026, with the first payment due on September 30, 2026, which is consistent with the repayment timeline of the existing LAC capital loan from Infrastructure Ontario.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Finally, this report recommends the three-year renewal of an existing line of credit guarantees of $175,000 in support of Young People's Theatre.  This report also recommends continued support for Canadian Stage in the form of a letter of credit guarantee for its $820,000 line of credit, which considers its anticipated new lending arrangements with BMO, for a three-year period commencing on November 1, 2026.

\r\n

2. City Council adopt the Corporate Asset Management Policy set out in Attachment 1 and City Council delegate authority to the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to affect any further technical amendments to the policy as required.

","financialImpactWep":"

Adoption of this report does not result in immediate financial implications. However, ongoing compliance with the legislative requirements will result in the need for identification of resources and functions corporately to establish an organization-wide practice of integrated asset management (AM) in support of a whole-of-government approach to AM that will promote consistency and standardization of AM practices across the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As identified in the 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan (AMP), the City of Toronto maintains approximately $215 billion in assets. The 2026-2035 Capital Plan invests roughly $33 billion in state-of-good repair (SOGR) to support maintenance needs. Further improvement initiatives identified in the 2025 Corporate AMP and formalized in the Corporate Asset Management (CAM) roadmap will be integrated into the City’s annual budget process and capital prioritization framework as recommended through the Updated Long-Term Financial Plan. This will enhance existing prioritization processes and be used to make data-driven, evidence-based decisions regarding the 10-Year Capital Plan to balance service value optimization, risk mitigation and cost reduction. It will also allow Council to set strategic direction in the allocation of available capital funds using a consistent set of guiding principles, while considering overall affordability and capacity to deliver capital investments.

","agendaItemSummary":"

On May 21, 2025 City Council adopted report EX23.7 - City of Toronto’s 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan for all municipal infrastructure assets in accordance with Ontario Regulation 588/17: Asset Management Planning for Municipal Infrastructure (the \"Regulation\") under the Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2025 Corporate Asset Management Plan (AMP) encompassed 26 City Divisions, Agencies, and Corporations (DACs) that hold ownership and/or responsibility over City-owned municipal infrastructure assets, as defined by the Regulation. Organized into 9 service areas and 26 subservices, the AMP exhibited the multitude of services provided by the City, demonstrating the relationship between service delivery and the assets that support those services. The 2025 Corporate AMP represents the final milestone of O. Reg. 588/17.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In accordance with the Regulation’s ongoing accountability requirements for Ontario municipalities, the City must undertake an annual review of its asset management (AM) program and report on progress to Council on or before July 1 of each year. This report constitutes the City’s first annual AM progress update to Council, addressing the following areas, as required:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. the municipality’s progress in implementing its asset management plan;

\r\n

b. any factors impeding the municipality’s ability to implement its asset management plan; and

\r\n

c. a strategy to address the factors described in clause (b).

\r\n


Overall, the City has made significant progress in its AM program, including establishing a CAM strategy and roadmap; completing its first AM readiness assessment and data collection exercise; strengthening integration with the City’s budget process; developing internal AM dashboards to support evidence-based decision-making; and establishing a dedicated AM network across agencies, boards, and corporations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In conjunction with the continued development of the City’s AM program, an internal review of the 2019 Corporate Asset Management Policy was undertaken. This review resulted in technical amendments to reflect the formal establishment of the Corporate Asset Management (CAM) function and updates to associated definitions, roles and responsibilities. It is recommended that City Council approve these technical changes and delegate authority to allow for future non-substantive amendments to the policy, as required, to support ongoing program refinement and compliance.

I am pleased to provide an update following my participation in the Good Roads 2026 Conference, a key annual forum that brings together municipal leaders, infrastructure experts, and industry partners from across Ontario.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Good Roads Conference continues to serve as one of the most significant gatherings focused on municipal transportation and infrastructure. It offers a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, discuss policy priorities, and collaborate on solutions to common challenges facing municipalities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This year’s sessions reinforced the importance of:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Sustained infrastructure investment to support growing communities
- Advancing state of good repair and asset management practices
- Strengthening road safety and climate resilience strategies
- Leveraging innovation and emerging technologies in municipal operations
 

\r\n

Participation in these discussions ensures that Toronto remains aligned with best practices and continues to lead in building safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation systems.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2026 conference featured a strong program of:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Educational sessions and panel discussions on infrastructure funding, maintenance, and innovation
- Keynote presentations addressing the future of municipal transportation
- An extensive exhibitor showcase highlighting the latest equipment, technologies, and services available to municipalities
 

\r\n

I am honoured to share that during the conference; I was named President of the Good Roads Association. I look forward to serving in this role and working collaboratively with municipal partners across Ontario to:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Advocate for sustainable and predictable infrastructure funding
- Support municipalities in addressing their transportation and asset management priorities
- Strengthen the collective voice of municipalities on key issues impacting our communities
 

\r\n

This role presents an important opportunity to ensure that Toronto’s perspectives and priorities contribute to shaping infrastructure policy and advocacy efforts across the province.

\r\n

 

\r\n

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the outgoing President, Mayor Cheryl Fort of the Township of Hornepayne for her leadership, dedication and significant strides she made for the association.

The Good Roads 2026 Conference reaffirmed the importance of collaboration, innovation, and strategic investment in maintaining and enhancing our transportation networks. I look forward to continuing this work both locally and provincially in my new capacity.

I am writing to provide an update on my participation in the 2026 Sociable City Summit and Academy, held from April 12–15, 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As Toronto’s Night Economy Champion, I attended the Summit and Academy to engage with municipal leaders, industry experts, and practitioners from around the world on emerging trends and best practices in fostering vibrant, inclusive, and well-managed nighttime economies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In my role, I have worked with Council, City staff, and community stakeholders to strengthen and modernize Toronto’s night economy. This work builds on the City’s Nightlife Action Plan, which advances a coordinated approach to planning the night, supporting creative and cultural industries, and promoting safe and inclusive nighttime activity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Over the past several years, Toronto has made meaningful progress. We undertook a comprehensive Night Economy Review, engaging more than 3,000 stakeholders, which resulted in modernized licensing and zoning regulations to better reflect contemporary nightlife and entertainment models, including expanded opportunities for venues and more flexible licensing frameworks.

\r\n

 

\r\n

We have also strengthened ongoing collaboration and accountability through the External Night Economy Working Group, which I chair, bringing together representatives from business, arts and culture, and community organizations to inform policy and address emerging issues. In addition, the City has introduced practical supports such as the Good Neighbour Guide for Late-Night Businesses and convenes an annual Night Economy Town Hall to share updates and gather feedback from sector participants.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Looking ahead, Toronto is advancing key initiatives, including Night Lab stakeholder workshops, a 2026 Economic Impact Study to better quantify the sector’s contribution, and targeted, place-based work such as the King West Community Night Safety Plan to improve safety, coordination, and the public realm in high-activity areas.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At the Sociable City Summit and Academy, I participated in sessions exploring nighttime economy strategy development, regulatory approaches to hybrid venues, sound management, and the importance of cultural stewardship and community belonging in nightlife. Discussions also highlighted global trends across major cities and reinforced the importance of governance structures, safety initiatives, and collaboration in supporting thriving night economies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The knowledge and connections gained through this experience will help inform Toronto’s ongoing efforts to support businesses and workers, enhance safety, and ensure our night economy continues to contribute to the city’s cultural vibrancy and economic growth.

\r\n

 

\r\n

I look forward to continuing this work in partnership with Council, City staff, and stakeholders across Toronto.

1. City Council receive the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative's 2026 Annual Conference, May 6-8, update for information.

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

I am writing to provide an update on my participation at the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative’s 2026 Annual Conference, held from May 6 to 8, 2026. Acting on behalf of Mayor Chow, I attended the conference to represent the City of Toronto, ensuring our continued leadership and engagement with municipal partners across the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence region.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto was actively represented at this important gathering of municipal leaders. The conference provided a vital forum for mayors and city leaders to collaborate on shared priorities including economic resilience, trade, infrastructure investment, and the long-term competitiveness of our interconnected regional economy.

\r\n

The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence region represents one of the most significant economic areas globally, generating approximately $9.3 trillion USD in annual economic output and accounting for nearly 30 percent of all economic activity in Canada and the United States.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Given Toronto’s role as a major economic hub and trade gateway, participation in this forum is critical. Discussions at the conference focused on addressing current economic challenges, including trade disruptions, shifting supply chains, tariff pressures, and rising infrastructure costs affecting municipalities across the region.

\r\n

A key outcome of the conference was the advancement and adoption of positions through the Mayors Commission on Economic Transformation (MCET), which brought together municipal leaders to advocate for coordinated action to strengthen regional economies and address trade-related challenges.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A motion reflecting these priorities was adopted through the Cities Initiative at its Board Meeting during the conference subsequently adopted by Toronto City Council at the May 20, 2026, meeting, Agenda Item History - 2026.MM41.9. This motion aligns Toronto’s advocacy with regional partners and reinforces the outcomes of the Cities Initiative conference.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Ahead of the conference, Toronto hosted a Mayors meeting on May 5, convened by Mayor Chow. This meeting strengthened collaboration and set the stage for discussions at the conference, particularly around economic transformation, trade resilience, and regional cooperation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto’s leadership was highlighted throughout the conference, particularly in areas such as waterfront revitalization, economic development, and infrastructure investment. Major initiatives like the Port Lands transformation demonstrate how cities can integrate housing growth, climate resilience, and economic prosperity.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends a phased framework for Toronto’s Cultural Districts Program. The initial phase identifies near-term actions, including formal recognition of Cultural Districts and local capacity-building to support community-led placemaking, inclusive economic development, and land stewardship. Subsequent phases outline scalable supports such as grants to non-profit organizations and financial incentives to directly support culturally significant businesses, enabled by Community Improvement Plans (CIPs), subject to Council approval and future funding.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through 2026.MM39.83, City Council has directed staff to report through the 2027 Budget Process on any elements of the Cultural Districts Program that would require additional funding. As outlined in this report, while initial program components can be delivered within existing resources, the implementation of expanded targeted supports to address commercial displacement will require new funding, subject to Council approval.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The initial components of the proposed Cultural Districts Program, including the formal recognition of five (5) Cultural Districts and the delivery of local capacity-building initiatives, can be implemented within the Approved 2026 Operating Budget for the Economic Development and Culture (EDC) Division.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The associated financial impacts of subsequent phases of the program will be brought forward for consideration as part of the 2027 Budget Process and will be aligned with available funding. Preliminary estimates indicate that a grant program could require approximately $300,000 per Cultural District, in addition to any resources required to deliver financial incentives to support culturally significant businesses. The scope and cost of any financial incentives enabled through CIPs would be determined as part of additional research and consultation recommended through this report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

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

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report presents a framework to establish a Cultural Districts Program for Toronto, which would recognize and celebrate distinct cultural areas across the city, while offering supports to respond to displacement and subsequent loss of cultural identity that some areas are facing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Cultural Districts are defined as culturally distinct mixed-use areas that feature a significant concentration of cultural spaces and institutions, culturally significant businesses, and community spaces. Cultural Districts are widely recognized as areas of shared history and identity that offer a sense of belonging. They not only serve the local area but also draw people from across the city and beyond.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Cultural Districts Program will include two core components:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Recognition of Cultural Districts: Formal recognition of Cultural Districts by City Council is an important first step toward safeguarding their cultural heritage. This report recommends that Little Jamaica, Church-Wellesley Village, West Chinatown, Little Iran and Banglatown be recognized as the City's initial Cultural Districts, in response to direction from Council. Recognition of other communities as Cultural Districts may be considered in future years through an application-based process.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Responding to Commercial Displacement: Despite their significance, Cultural Districts can face ongoing threats of displacement, impacting the businesses, community organizations, buildings and landmarks that anchor their neighbourhood identity and vitality. These issues are particularly acute in Little Jamaica, Church-Wellesley Village, and West Chinatown. The proposed Cultural Districts Program offers an opportunity to respond to these challenges by introducing targeted policy and program tools to stabilize culturally significant businesses against commercial displacement. Culturally significant businesses provide culturally relevant goods and/or services that are meaningful to Black, Indigenous and equity-deserving communities as having special cultural significance to their history, identity, and ability to thrive.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report proposes a phased framework for Toronto’s Cultural Districts Program, combining immediate actions that can be delivered within existing resources in 2026 with a suite of additional targeted supports that could be implemented through the 2027 Budget Process and future years, subject to Council approval. The initial phase focuses on formally recognizing Cultural Districts and launching local capacity-building initiatives to support community-led placemaking, inclusive economic development, and land stewardship. Building on this foundation, the report also outlines scalable targeted supports to respond to commercial displacement in qualifying Cultural Districts contingent on the availability of additional funding, including grants to non-profit organizations and financial incentives to directly support culturally significant businesses, enabled by Community Improvement Plans (CIPs).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also outlines the steps required to initiate CIPs in qualifying Cultural Districts. A CIP is a tool under the Planning Act that enables municipalities to provide financial incentives to for-profit businesses to support community improvement. In this context, CIPs could be used to introduce new incentives for culturally significant businesses in Cultural Districts to help mitigate commercial displacement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Additional research and consultation are required before initiating CIPs in eligible Cultural Districts. Moreover, funding will be needed to implement any such incentives. Subject to consideration through the 2027 budget process, staff will conduct an analysis of local economic activity in Little Jamaica, West Chinatown, Church-Wellesley, Little Iran, and Banglatown to assess the applicability of CIPs in each district. This analysis will be followed by consultations with community stakeholders to define the scope of targeted supports that could be delivered through CIPs to address commercial displacement. Draft CIPs must also be circulated to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for review and comment. Based on the results of the economic analysis and consultations, staff will report to the Planning and Housing Committee by the end of Q2 2027 with recommendations on implementing CIPs, where appropriate, to support these targeted initiatives.

","financialImpactWep":"

There is no immediate financial impact from the adoption of the recommendations contained in this report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Capital Investment:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Lawrence Heights Neighbourhood Centre will be co‑located within the redeveloped Lawrence Heights Community Recreation and Child Care Centre, a significant civic investment delivered through the Toronto Community Housing‑led Lawrence Heights Revitalization. This facility will integrate community development, recreation, and child care services. It will be the first Association of Community Centres (AOCCs) to leverage a city-redevelopment and operate under the Integrated Facility Model endorsed by City Council through the Strategic Expansion of the Association of Community Centres report.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The new Lawrence Heights Community Recreation and Child Care Centre will replace the existing Lawrence Heights Community Centre, which will remain operational until construction of the new facility is complete. Capital funding for the development will be administered by Parks and Recreation, which retains responsibility for delivering the co-located AOCC and recreation centre project.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Funding for the final phases of the Lawrence Heights Community Centre redevelopment is included in the 2026–2035 Capital Budget and Plan, including capital funding required to construct the child care centre, the recreation facilities and AOCC-related space, with construction anticipated to begin in 2027. The AOCC will be fully developed into the Lawrence Heights Community Centre and represents an immaterial percentage of the Centre's total square footage, allowing for the co-location of the AOCC.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Ongoing Operating Budget Impact:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The establishment of a volunteer Board of Management in 2027 will not result in incremental impact on the 2027 and 2028 operating budgets. The creation of a new AOCC will result in material operating impacts in future years. The establishment and sustainability of the AOCC will be a multi‑year initiative, requiring ongoing funding to support core administrative and governance functions in accordance with the relationship framework between the City of Toronto and the AOCC.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Operational planning will be addressed through the forthcoming AOCC Facilities and Operations Plan. This plan will serve as the primary mechanism for defining multi‑year operating requirements, transition resources, and implementation timelines to support the phased establishment and ongoing operation of AOCCs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the Lawrence Heights Neighbourhood Centre, core administrative funding is proposed to be phased in gradually, subject to annual Board requests and City Council approval in future budget processes. The projected Core Operating Phasing (EC24.2) aligns funding with governance activation, staffing ramp‑up, and the expansion of operational responsibilities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Incremental budget pressure would begin in 2028 at $0.1 million to support basic startup needs, including hiring the Executive Director, activating governance, and establishing essential administrative systems. As the Centre transitions to full operations, incremental budget pressure is projected to reach approximately $1.9 million annually, reflecting mature operations and sustained service demand.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Further assessment and due diligence are required to fully define the scope, costs, and delivery approach. Any proposed funding commitments will be subject to the City’s affordability metrics and capital prioritization framework, and approval through the applicable future budget process.

\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 City of Toronto operates ten community centres, known as the Association of Community Centres (AOCCs), managed by volunteer Boards of Management appointed by City Council. These multi-purpose facilities serve as catalysts for neighbourhood transformation—providing inclusive spaces that strengthen civic engagement, build local leadership capacity, and advance equity-focused outcomes. All Board-approved programming is carried out by AOCC staff, who operate as City employees within the AOCC Relationship Framework, ensuring operational accountability and alignment with City standards. The Council-adopted AOCC Expansion Framework and Implementation Strategy affirm the AOCC model as essential social infrastructure that advances equity, social cohesion, and neighbourhood resilience.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report seeks City Council approval to establish the Lawrence Heights Neighbourhood Centre as a new Board of Management under the former City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 25, Recreation and Community Centres, and the AOCC Relationship Framework. Early approval reflects the lead-time required to operationalize an AOCC, providing sufficient time to form the Board, recruit an Executive Director, develop governance policies, onboard staff, and advance critical financial planning and grant development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Lawrence Heights Neighbourhood Centre marks the first expansion of the AOCC portfolio in over 30 years, a generational milestone for the model. The Centre will be co-located within the redeveloped Lawrence Heights Community Recreation Centre and Child Care Centre, a major civic investment delivered as part of the Toronto Community Housing-led Lawrence Heights Revitalization. This integrated, co-located approach aligns community development, recreation, and child care services within a single neighbourhood hub, strengthening service coordination, improving access, and maximizing the public value of City-owned infrastructure.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A demographic and service analysis confirms that Lawrence Heights and the surrounding neighbourhoods exhibit elevated community need, limited access to stable community spaces, and significant population growth linked to ongoing redevelopment. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

A phased approach to activating governance, staffing, and resourcing is proposed and aligns with the AOCC Expansion Implementation Strategy. Operational costs will be incorporated into the forthcoming AOCC Facilities and Operations Plan, with an update to be reported to the Economic and Community Development Committee in 2028, including associated funding requirements for consideration through the City Budget process.

\r\n

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

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report is seeking authority to amend Purchase Order 6049718 issued to Veolia Water Canada Inc. (Veolia). The Purchase Order was issued based on City Council approval of Item 2019.IE5.11, authorizing the General Manager, Solid Waste Management Services and / or designate to negotiate and enter into any agreements necessary to operate, maintain and undertake capital improvements to continue to process source separated organics at the Disco Road Organics Processing Facility, commencing on July 1, 2019, for an approved term of up to 10 years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Disco Road Organics Processing Facility facility was commissioned in 2014. Through ongoing operations, engineering assessments, and capital work planning, several major capital improvement and maintenance requirements have been identified, some of which are critical to site operations and need to be addressed immediately. A portion of the major capital and maintenance work was anticipated to be delivered in conjunction with the Council-approved Disco Road Organics Processing Facility expansion. However, given the immediate need for critical infrastructure work, staff are also accelerating some of this planned work to take place at the same time as the critical work to ensure the facility is best positioned for expansion and to minimize overall downtime.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Aligning this work within one purchase order amendment will enable the timely completion of critical capital improvements and maintenance work ahead of the facility expansion. This work will extend the facility’s useful life, maintain safety and performance standards, and ensure the facility continues to fulfill its intended functions. Delivering this work through the existing operator will minimize financial, operational and coordination risks on an active site, avoid delays, and supports continuity of service by maintaining a single point of accountability.

Currently, there is insufficient funding in Toronto Water's 2026 Capital Budget and 2027 to 2035 Capital Plan to support the award of Doc5398199635 and the amendments to Purchase Orders 6056811 and 6057463. Additional funding is required to accommodate costs that are shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3 above.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The approval of Recommendation 1 will authorize the reallocation of funding for additional project costs to support the award of Doc5398199635 and the amendments to Purchase Orders 6056811 and 6057463, as outlined in Table 4 below.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The additional costs for the award, associated Purchase Order Amendments will be offset from funds available within the Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant Polymer Upgrade Project (CWW019-27).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Polymer Upgrade Project has been delayed in order to revise the design to address regulatory requirements and as a result, funds are available for reallocation. Funding for the Polymer Upgrade project will be reprioritized as part of Toronto Water's 2027 Capital Budget Process to align with updated schedule forecasts.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with Arcadis Professional Services (Canada) Inc., (“Arcadis”) for the provision of the City of Toronto’s (the “City”) Congestion Management Centre, formerly the RESCU Traffic Operations Centre, regarding operations services from October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027, under the same rates, terms, and conditions set out in the current service contract (Request for Proposal “RFP” Doc2801359082) awarded in 2021, in the amount of $4,512,329 net of all taxes and charges ($4,591,746 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). The contract was originally awarded to IBI Group Professional Services (Canada) Inc., in 2021; however, in 2023, IBI Group filed articles of amendment with the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and changed their name to Arcadis Professional Services (Canada) Inc. A Purchase Order Amendment was subsequently issued on August 11, 2023 to reflect the name change.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Congestion Management Centre serves as the central hub for all traffic management activities in the City, providing essential operations 24/7 that includes: triaging and dispatching emergency transportation maintenance calls (for the City’s 2,500 traffic signals, 385 traffic monitoring cameras, and other electronic traffic control devices, traffic signs, and road right-of-way issues such as potholes and winter maintenance); providing traffic incident management and traveler information to the public; ensuring Congestion Management Centre and field transportation equipment, systems, and software are in good working condition; and supporting services for the City’s Road Disruption Activity Reporting System (“RoDARS”), Traffic Agent, and School Crossing Guard programs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current service contract under Request for Proposal Doc2801359082 will be ending on September 30, 2026. A new, competitive Request for Proposal is in the process of being developed, which better reflects the emerging traffic management needs and the future vision of congestion management operations in the City. This Request for Proposal features a significant expansion of services, including:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Traffic signal operations services (e.g. providing active traffic management coverage and implementing signal timing changes in response to traffic incidents during weekday peak traffic periods, major special events, and planned construction, providing support for transit signal priority, and addressing traffic signal timing service requests);

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Additional supporting services for the Road Disruption Activity Reporting System program (e.g. application review and site inspections for compliance);

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Real-time key performance indicator analysis of the City’s road network;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Piloting new intelligent transportation system technologies; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Establishment of a new construction coordination centre facility to provide centralized coordination of construction-related traffic impacts and support integrated congestion management across City operations

\r\n

 

\r\n

Drafting a new request for proposals began in September 2025 with the intent of awarding a new contract in time for it to commence immediately upon the expiry of the existing agreement on September 30, 2026, to ensure continuity of services beginning October 1, 2026. At that time, it was estimated that the procurement process and transition activities could be completed within the existing timeline. However, as early planning and scoping work progressed through 2025 and early 2026, it became evident that the level of service expansion being contemplated would materially increase both procurement complexity and transition requirements. In addition, the timing of the required transition activities would overlap with FIFA World Cup 2026 operational period and associated post-event “tear down” activities, when City resources would be significantly engaged in supporting heightened traffic management and operational demands.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To ensure that the essential traffic management services and continuation of important strategic initiatives delivered through the Congestion Management Centre operations contract are not disrupted, the General Manager, Transportation Services and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend entering into a non-competitive bridging contract with the incumbent supplier, Arcadis, to enable the new contract to be tendered and awarded. The non-competitive procurement will be proceeding under the exception code related to Bridging Contracts where there is a requirement to fulfill the short term need(s) of the required goods and / or services and the City has determined 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.E.).

\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 limit 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 71-11(A).

\r\n

 

\r\n

Funding for the initial term of the contract is available within the 2026 Operating Budget for Solid Waste Management Services in Funds Centre SW0701, Commitment Item 5020038. Funding for future year contracts will be included in future Solid Waste Management Services Operating Budget submissions.

\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 seek City Council approval to transition from the currently authorized on‑premises RouteSmart for ArcGIS software, which is approved until 2030 but had its technical support and maintenance ended by RouteSmart in March 2026, to the cloud-based RouteSmart Online solution for the same time period.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To accomplish this staff are seeking authority to enter into a non-competitive agreement with RouteSmart Technologies Inc. (RouteSmart) for a subscription to the cloud-based version of RouteSmart Online, for a period up to five (5) years, with options to opt-out at the sole request of the City, for a total contract value not to exceed $850,000 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($864,960 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2010, Solid Waste Management Services purchased licences for RouteSmart for ArcGIS, a critical operational software that is used to design, optimize, and manage collections routes, day-to-day operations, and service planning. After purchasing the licenses, Solid Waste Management Services paid for annual support and maintenance for the software from RouteSmart. Solid Waste Management Services was subsequently authorized by Council to continue purchasing annual maintenance and support from RouteSmart for consecutive five (5) year periods in 2015, 2020, and 2025, the most recent of which was intended to cover the period of 2026 to 2030.

\r\n

 

\r\n

RouteSmart has since terminated support and maintenance for RouteSmart for ArcGIS as of March 1, 2026, and migrated all of its services to a new, cloud-based platform called RouteSmart Online. While Solid Waste Management Services can continue to use RouteSmart for ArcGIS, the absence of ongoing maintenance and support from RouteSmart introduces a significant risk that the software could, at any point, stop functioning due to incompatibility with the City’s software environment. As a result, transitioning to RouteSmart Online imminently is necessary to ensure continued access to RouteSmart’s operationally critical functionality.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since early 2025 Solid Waste Management Services, in collaboration with Technology Services Division, has been developing the business case and specifications to competitively procure a new, long-term technology solution, with the aim of bringing the procurement to market in the fourth quarter of 2026. A non-competitive agreement with RouteSmart for use of the cloud-based RouteSmart Online platform, for the same five (5) year period Council previously authorized Solid Waste Management Services to purchase annual maintenance and support for RouteSmart for ArcGIS, will mitigate operational risk and ensure the City has continued access to the operationally critical functionality of the software until such time as the new long-term solution can be competitively procured and implemented.

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 request City Council authority to enter into a non-competitive contract with ServiceNow, a Canadian Business Subsidiary, for licenses and professional services in the amount of $13,508,403 net of all applicable taxes and charges ($13,746,151 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries Recoveries) commencing from December 4, 2026 for a term of three (3) years with option to extend the contract by two (2) additional one (1) year periods. This report seeks to establish a total ceiling authority, with no commitment to spend the full amount.

\r\n

 

\r\n

ServiceNow is the City’s enterprise platform for managing core Technology Services processes, including Information Technology service desk tickets, projects and portfolios, applications, assets, and new technology requests. The platform provides a centralized portal for City staff to submit requests, track status, access knowledge articles, and route work through standardized governance and approval workflows - supporting ongoing compliance with audit recommendations related to Information Technology asset and license management.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City's current agreement with a reseller was competitively procured and expires December 3, 2026. This agreement provided stability during implementation, but it limits flexibility and pricing advantages.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends proceeding with a non-competitive agreement directly with ServiceNow to secure favourable commercial terms and enhanced discounts not offered through resellers, which supports improved cost predictability, better licence optimization, and greater flexibility as the City’s use of the ServiceNow platform evolves.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A non-competitive procurement may be undertaken where both the proposed procurement and the supplier can be justified in good faith under an exception set out in Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 195, Procurement. This procurement will be proceeding under the exception related to Compatibility, where ServiceNow Canada Inc., and the City have 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.E).

\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 (5) 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.

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 request City Council authority to enter into non-competitive contracts with Black & McDonald Ltd. (Service Area A) and TM3 Inc. (Service Area B) to provide the City’s Traffic Electrical Maintenance and Emergency Services, including traffic control and RESCU infrastructure operations, maintenance, emergency response, and state-of-good-repair services, in the amounts of $17,745,351 net of all taxes and charges ($18,057,669 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) and $5,851,671 net of all taxes and charges ($5,954,660 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries) respectively, for a 12-month period from August 1, 2026 to July 31, 2027, under the same terms and conditions set out in the current service contracts, Negotiated Request for Proposal (nRFP) Doc2865468161, that was awarded in June 2021.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current service contracts under (Negotiated Request for Proposal) Doc2865468161 will expire on July 31, 2026. Based on the current annual review of contract pricing, the proposed contract is considered fair and reasonable for continued service delivery, as it maintains the same terms, scope, and unit pricing as the existing contracts, with the only adjustment being the application of the permitted Consumer Price Index increase in accordance with the contractual provisions. The contracts provide 24/7 emergency response, maintenance, operation, and state-of-good-repair services for electrical traffic control and related devices, as well as maintenance and state-of-good-repair for the City's RESCU traffic management infrastructure, including traffic cameras, expressway variable message signs, travel time systems, and automatic traffic counting systems.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also seeks authority to extend the existing Traffic Electrical Planned Capital Works Roster for a 12-month period from August 1, 2026 to July 31, 2027. The current roster consists of four contractors: Black & McDonald Limited, TM3 Inc., Guild Electric Limited, and Beacon Utility Contractors Ltd. Each contractor has an approved Master Agreement value of $19,894,553 net of all taxes and charges ($20,244,697 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries). No increase to the approved roster values is required as part of this extension.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This roster provides construction and delivery of planned traffic electrical capital works, including new installations, traffic signal upgrades and replacements, electrical and infrastructure construction, and associated civil and system integration work required to support the City's approved traffic signal and intelligent transportation systems capital programs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A new competitive solicitation will be tendered. However, the procurement timeline has been adjusted to ensure that lessons learned from recent Auditor General recommendations for other large procurements and the findings of the Forensic Audit of the 2021 Winter Maintenance Procurement are fully incorporated. This additional due diligence is intended to mitigate procurement and contract management risks and to support a fair, transparent, and competitive process for these critical City-wide operational services.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As a result, the revised procurement and approval schedule will not allow new contracts and roster agreements to be awarded prior to the final Council meeting in July 2026. Given the size, operational criticality, and heightened governance considerations associated with these contracts, City Council approval is required for the proposed interim arrangements. In addition, a transition period of approximately three (3) to four (4) months would be required should a new supplier be awarded the contract, in order to support staffing, training, operational onboarding, systems integration and the continuity of emergency response services. Accordingly, the proposed 12-month extension is intended to ensure continuity of critical operations while the competitive procurement process is completed, and new contracts are fully implemented.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed 12-month contracts will ensure uninterrupted service delivery while the competitive procurement is completed, contracts are awarded, and any required handover and ramp‑up activities occur. This approach also mitigates risk during a period of heightened operational demand in 2026, including the FIFA World Cup and associated “tear‑down” activities, when continuity of traffic electrical emergency response and system reliability will be essential to public safety, congestion management, and the efficient operation of the City’s road network.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To ensure continuity of critical services and approved capital programs throughout this period, the General Manager, Transportation Services, and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend entering into non‑competitive contracts with the incumbent Service Area (A and B) suppliers, Black & McDonald Limited and TM3 Inc., and extending the existing four Traffic Electrical Planned Capital Works Roster contractors, while the competitive procurement is completed, City Council approval is obtained, budget authority is confirmed, and an orderly transition can occur.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed 12-month contracts ensure service continuity while addressing audit diligence and Council oversight requirements and supporting an orderly transition to long‑term service delivery.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The non-competitive procurements will be proceeding under the exception code related to “Other Reason” for non-competitive requirements that do not apply to any of the other reason codes available to support the request and the City has determined in good faith that 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.P.)

\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 year commitment limit 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 authority to enter into a non-competitive procurement contract with SmartSimple Software Inc., a Canadian supplier, for a new configuration of Housing Secretariat’s grant application in the SmartSimple platform, for a two (2) year term, for a value of up to $300,000 net of taxes and applicable charges ($305,280 net of Harmonized Sales Tax recoveries).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Toronto Grants, Rebates and Incentives Portal is a centralized online hub used by non-profit and resident-led organizations to apply for various City grants, administered by City of Toronto divisions. In 2021, Housing Secretariat’s Toronto Grants, Rebates and Incentives Portal application was built and customized by SmartSimple Software Inc., to support the delivery of housing and tenant services grant programs that aligned with the federal government’s Reaching Home Program and the provincial government’s Homelessness Prevention Program directives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since Toronto Grants, Rebates and Incentives Portal’s launch, new housing and tenant services grant programs have been introduced and existing programs have expanded that cannot be supported within the existing Toronto Grants, Rebates and Incentives Portal system. As a result, these programs are administered and monitored outside the system, relying on paper-based grant funding application, paper-based agreements, non-standardized reporting templates and monitoring and oversight tools.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To enable all housing and tenant services programs to be administered through the system in a consistent way, the Housing Secretariat is seeking authority to enter into a contract with SmartSimple Software Inc., to develop a new generic configuration that will allow programs currently operating outside of the system to be added, establishing a single, integrated platform for all housing and tenant services programs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These enhancements will strengthen monitoring and program compliance through a centralized system, provide consistency and decreased administrative burden for non-profit organizations delivering housing and tenant grant programs. This new configuration will support the integration of approximately eight (8) additional housing and tenant services programs (approximately $27 million per year) into Toronto Grants, Rebates and Incentives Portal, centralizing the administration of approximately 15 programs and approximately $100 million per year.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Given that SmartSimple Software Inc. is the original vendor that built the existing platform, the vendor has unique knowledge of Toronto Grants, Rebates and Incentives Portal’s architecture, configurations, and integrations. Leveraging this expertise supports system compatibility and continuity, minimizes implementation risk, and avoids the time and cost associated with onboarding a new vendor, ensuring a more efficient and reliable path to delivering the new configuration. SmartSimple Software Inc., can further leverage its existing work to develop a new configuration for the Housing Secretariat by building on established service delivery requirements and provide the necessary system functionalities to support the overall new generic configuration.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A non-competitive procurement 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 SmartSimple Software Inc., and the City have 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, Procurement, 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 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 71-11(A).

","agendaItemSummary":"

The City hired Parsons Inc. (\"Parsons\") to prepare a design and provide construction administration support services for the installation of a new 400 mm watermain and associated support structure spanning the Humber River at the Kipling Avenue Bridge (the \"Project\").

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City alleges that the Design prepared by Parsons and / or the Construction Administration Support Services provided by Parsons for the project included errors (the \"Errors\") resulting in the inability to complete construction of the remaining components of the Project as designed. The alleged errors were discovered during construction of the Project by a contractor retained by the City for this purpose, interrupting the work. The Project was later finished at a greater cost to the City based on a re-design completed by Parsons.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Therefore, the City commenced a legal action against Parsons to recover the costs it alleges were due to the Errors. The City claims that Parsons' performance specific to this Project fell below the required standard and / or breached its contract with the City.

The Division currently pays approximately $80,000 annually in royalties under existing tariff requirements through the annual invoice and payment process. Entering into multi-year agreements with Re:Sound, and Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada / Société Canadienne Des Auteurs, Compositeurs et Éditeurs De Musique is not expected to result in a material change to these costs, with annual payments anticipated to remain at approximately $80,000, subject to applicable tariff adjustments. Rather, the primary benefit of these agreements is administrative efficiency, rate certainty over the agreement term, and improved financial planning.

","financialImpactWep":"

As per the Community Space Tenancy Policy, the five tenant agencies set out in Appendix B will have nominal leases with a basic rent of $2 plus Harmonized Sales Tax per annum. The leases will be net and carefree to the City, with tenants responsible for all operating costs on a proportionate share basis, payable as additional rent.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Lease will be provided at a nominal rate of $2 plus Harmonized Sales Tax per year. As a result, the total opportunity cost of the Lease over the ten (10) year term is estimated to be $4,058,400 plus Harmonized Sales Tax. The total opportunity cost of the option to extend for a further ten (10) year term is approximately $4,464,240 plus Harmonized Sales Tax. This represents a total sum of $8,522,640 plus Harmonized Sales Tax over the potential 20-year term, with a Net Present Value of $5,250,051 plus Harmonized Sales Tax.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Bloor-Dufferin Community Hub facility located at 1141 Bloor Street West and 980 Dufferin Street is owned by the City of Toronto. Although properties owned by the City of Toronto are exempt from taxation, the five tenants may be deemed taxable tenants, and the Leased Premises would therefore be subject to taxation. The combined annual property taxes on the Leased Premises occupied by the five tenants are estimated at approximately $246,685, comprised of a municipal portion of $152,383 and a provincial education portion of $94,302, based on an estimated 2026 Current Value Assessment and 2026 tax rates.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As shown in Table 1 below, providing a property tax exemption for the 19,132 square feet at 1141 Bloor Street West and 980 Dufferin Street will result in a net annual reduction in property tax revenue to the City of approximately $152,383, representing the municipal portion of taxes that will not be collected once the Leased Premises are designated as a Municipal Capital Facility. The provincial education portion of property taxes of $94,302 will not be required to be remitted to the Province once the exemption for the Leased Premises takes effect, with no net impact to the City.

This report seeks City Council authority to enter into Community Space Tenancy lease agreements with five not‑for‑profit organizations that will collectively occupy approximately 19,132 square feet within the Bloor–Dufferin Community Hub, a City‑owned facility located at 1141 Bloor Street West and 980 Dufferin Street (the “Leased Premises”). The report further seeks City Council authority to designate the leased premises for each tenant as a Municipal Capital Facility, in accordance with the City of Toronto Act, 2006 and applicable City policy.

\r\n


Consistent with the Community Space Tenancy Policy (2017.EX28.8), tenant agencies for the Bloor-Dufferin Community Hub were identified through competitive Requests for Expressions of Interest issued in 2021 and 2025. Applications were evaluated against established criteria, including organizational capacity, financial sustainability, alignment with City priorities, and demonstrated ability to address local service needs. The five recommended organizations have been selected based on merit and for their collective capacity to provide integrated, community‑responsive programming within a shared hub model. Together, these co-located organizations will operate the Bloor-Dufferin Community Hub as a multi‑service community facility and deliver social, cultural, and community‑based services. These include but are not limited to family and settlement services, mental health supports and culturally responsive programming to address identified area‑specific needs in the surrounding neighbourhood.

This report seeks City Council authority to enter into a Community Space Tenancy lease agreement (the “Lease”) with The Black Women's Institute for Health, as the tenant for approximately 2,017 square feet, including 1,286 square feet of dedicated space and proportionate share of common areas, within the Keele Community Hub, a City‑owned facility located at 1652 Keele Street (the “Leased Premises”) that supports coordinated, co-located delivery of social, cultural, and community‑based services. This report also seeks authority to designate the leased premises for the tenant as a Municipal Capital Facility, in accordance with the City of Toronto Act, 2006 and applicable City policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Consistent with the Community Space Tenancy Policy (2017.EX28.8), a competitive Request for Expressions of Interest process was conducted in 2025. Applications were evaluated against established criteria, including organizational capacity, financial sustainability, alignment with City priorities, and demonstrated ability to deliver locally responsive services. The Black Women’s Institute for Health was selected based on merit and capacity to address identified area‑specific needs through the delivery of integrated, community‑responsive programming within a shared hub model.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Black Women’s Institute for Health will join five existing tenants at the Keele Community Hub, strengthening an integrated service model focused on youth, newcomers, and families. The organization will deliver culturally grounded programming that advances the health, wellness, and long-term outcomes of Black women and girls through research, advocacy, and community-based services addressing the social determinants of health.

I am writing to recommend that staff consider the introduction of bench seating at Nathan Phillips Square for the upcoming summer season similar to https://vestre.com/us/products/multipurpose-furniture/bloc-sun-bench

As Council continues to prioritize the animation and increased public use of Nathan Phillips Square, the addition of the benches presents an opportunity to create a more welcoming, vibrant, and accessible civic space.

The benches have been successfully used at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, where they have proven to be both durable and popular with users. Its design supports casual gathering, and flexible use of public space, aligning with the City’s placemaking objectives.

I recognize that there are important operational, security, and financial considerations associated with introducing seating in a high-profile and continuously accessible civic space such as Nathan Phillips Square.

Adding public seating would add to usage of the square, inviting residents and visitors to use the space.

The estimated cost to install the Vision Zero Road Safety Improvement and Cycling Enhancement Projects recommended in this report is $6,193,000. Funding is included for these capital projects, categorized as a service improvement and enhancement as well as Health and Safety, in the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services. Because project scope, design development, and market pricing can change, delivery timelines and costs may also shift. If required, additional funding needs would be considered as part of future-year budget submissions.

\r\n

The approval of recommendations in this report will give authority to Transportation Services to deliver new road safety infrastructure over multiple years. As infrastructure is completed in 2027, operating impacts will be incorporated into future years’ Operating Budget submissions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

6. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the General Manager, Transportation Services to report back to City Council by the third quarter of 2032 with a progress report on the implementation of the Western Beaches Public Realm Plan and recommendations 1-5 above.

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no immediate financial impacts resulting from adoption of the Western Beaches Public Realm Plan beyond resources already included in approved capital plans. Future funding requests to advance recommendations that require additional study, design, capital investment, or operating support will be brought forward through future budget processes for Council consideration, subject to feasibility and affordability.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Parks and Recreation includes approximately $2.746 million in planned investment for initiatives within the Western Beaches Public Realm Plan study area.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Of the $2.746 million identified in the ten-year capital plan, approximately $1.193 million is allocated to state of good repair work for parking lots, trails and pathways, $1.188 million is allocated to rehabilitation of recreational assets, and $0.365 million is allocated to the washroom enhancement program. These projects are primarily debt-funded. An additional $100,000 is the Parks and Recreation contribution to a shoreline study being completed by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. Currently, completion of the identified state of good repair projects is not expected to result in material incremental operating impacts. Should future operating impacts be identified, they will be included in Parks and Recreation's future budget submissions for consideration.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current prioritization identifies projects to be initiated within the first five years and is informed in part by the existing ten-year Capital Budget and Plan, as well as related City objectives and initiatives, including the Facilities Plan, Reconciliation Action Plan, Resilience Strategy, and Wet Weather Flow Master Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Some near-term priorities may be advanced through coordination, operational changes, or refinement of already planned work. Other priorities will require additional scope definition, technical study, and funding to inform subsequent phases. Overall, the Plan is intended to support a coordinated interdivisional approach to future park and shoreline improvements, align planned investments where possible, and identify opportunities for cost sharing and external funding.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services also has planned investments over the 2025-2035 period that may support access and connectivity improvements related to the Western Beaches, including bridge replacement and road safety redesign initiatives. These include the bridge replacements at Parkdale, Dunn, Dowling and Dufferin along with active transportation and public realm improvements to complement the work. The City Council-endorsed Parkside Drive Study includes an on-street bi-directional cycle track, designated turning lanes at intersections, new bus stops and intersection safety improvements at Bloor Street West and Lake Shore Boulevard West. The City will continue to assess the implications of recent provincial legislation passed in 2024 and 2025 (Bill 212 and Bill 60) for implementation of transportation-related recommendations in the Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Full implementation of the Plan will require long-term planning over the next 20 years, including strategic interdivisional capital planning and continued exploration of intergovernmental funding opportunities, where applicable. Where future projects align with divisional priorities, the relevant City divisions will identify any capital and operating impacts through future budget processes for Council consideration, subject to feasibility and affordability.

\r\n

 

\r\n

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

","agendaItemSummary":"

The Western Waterfront Master Plan was approved by City Council in 2009 and was developed to provide a vision for Toronto's Western Beaches between the Humber River and Ontario Place, and to guide future decisions. In 2022, a report to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee identified additional issues and priorities that emerged and recommended updating the Western Waterfront Master Plan. Since that time, City staff have been working towards providing a Western Beaches Public Realm Plan (the Plan) that updates the 2009 Western Waterfront Master Plan and continues to advance improvements related to breakwaters, shoreline erosion, water quality and visitor experience.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Plan and its constituent recommendations are the result of both broad and deep community and Indigenous engagement as well as technical expertise and input from an interdivisional Technical Advisory Committee. City staff gathered feedback via a Public Life Study, multiple on-site pop-ups, focused stakeholder interviews, workshops with an assembled Community Advisory Committee, multiple digital surveys, a virtual public meeting, and several Indigenous talking circles. The result is a guide for investment in the Western Beaches identifying near-term priorities, medium-term opportunities, and long-term ideas to address a range of challenges, mitigate risks, and advance strategic objectives. Implementation of the Plan is anticipated to proceed incrementally as funding is identified, technical and detailed design processes are undertaken, and conversations with the public, stakeholders, urban Indigenous communities, and Treaty partners are advanced. The actions identified by the Plan are intended to mitigate the impacts of climate change on the shoreline, enhance the Western Beaches' visitor experience, better leverage the study area's natural and cultural heritage assets, and mitigate chronic challenges including trail conflicts, accessibility, and visitor comfort all while conserving and protecting this beloved waterfront park network so that it can be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike for generations to come.

This prohibition is intended to mitigate conflicts between eastbound left-turning Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcars on Kingston Road and southbound right-turning vehicles on Victoria Park Avenue. Due to the constrained geometry of the intersection, the streetcar tracks encroach within the path of southbound right-turning vehicles. This creates a conflict point when southbound vehicles proceed on a red signal.  Prohibiting right turns on red will eliminate this conflict and improve safety for all road users.

Residential uses are not permitted anywhere south of the Ship Channel; these lands are identified for port industrial, energy and city-serving uses, destination/catalytic uses, and parks and open space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report focuses on \"development in proximity to the Hearn Switching Station\" which is located adjacent to the aforementioned lands owned by Studios of America Corporation and whose future industrial-based uses are of the City's interest with respect to future energy infrastructure development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For the purposes of this report, \"development in proximity to the Hearn Switching Station\" is defined as:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- the area that is currently occupied by the Hearn Switching Station;

\r\n

 

\r\n

- the area that is occupied by the Portlands Energy Centre; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

- any land in the Port Lands that is implicated in the proposed route development of the underwater high voltage direct current transmission connection, called the Toronto Third Line1.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A review of publicly available documents was undertaken by City staff.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In summary, the concerns and considerations raised, as understood by City staff, by the Province of Ontario and by energy utilities focus on the Hearn Switching Station's role as a critical connection point for delivery of electricity from the point of generation to Toronto's local distribution network. It is City staff's understanding that there are concerns with the importance of the long-term operability of the Hearn Switching Station.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At a high level, the concerns and considerations of each party, as understood by the City, are generally summarized below:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. Hydro One Networks, operator of the Hearn Switching Station and the province's largest transmitter of electricity, has identified that as a critical hub providing a connection to the Portlands Energy Centre, the Hearn Switching Station contains critical 115 kiloVolt (kV) underground transmission assets that will require attention to above and below ground operation integrity, and specifically, must address access and easement protection, safety considerations, landscaping requirements, loading area and vehicles access, underground infrastructure protection, and development requirements adjacent to the Hearn Switching Station. (See Attachment 1).

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. Atura Power, owner and operator of the Portlands Energy Centre, a gas-fired electricity generating station located directly east of the Hearn Switching Station and which is one source of electricity supply through the Hearn Switching Station, has expressed the importance of ongoing and uninterrupted operation of Portlands Energy Centre to deliver power to Toronto. They highlight that the ability to retain ongoing industrial operations in proximity to the Hearn Generating Station (HGC), which is adjacent to the Hearn Switching Station, must consider compatibility with air emissions as well as other impacts to ensure Portlands Energy Centre's long-term viability. (See Attachment 2).

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. The Independent Electricity System Operator, the Crown corporation responsible for managing Ontario's power system has announced the proposal to construct the Toronto Third Line (TTL) which is a proposed 65 kilometres underwater high-voltage direct current (high voltage direct current ) transmission line connecting the Bowmanville Switching Station in Clarington to the Hearn Switching Station in downtown Toronto. The line is planned to deliver approximately 900 MegaWatts of electricity, equivalent to powering an estimated 900,000 homes, and would include development of a sizeable converter station near the Hearn Switching Station, which is intended to serve as the primary connection point into Toronto’s transmission system. The Independent Electricity System Operator has stated the importance of protecting land for future transmission so as to maintain flexibility to accommodate future growth and mitigate the risk of development that is incompatible with future transmission needs.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Queen’s Park North is one of the largest and most significant green spaces in Toronto’s downtown core. As Canada's oldest municipal park, it is defined by its extensive tree canopy, cultural heritage landscape including generous pathways and open spaces, and its long-standing role as a place of gathering, expression, contemplation, and commemoration. At its core, the park is a vibrant urban forest and green oasis and it is important that the character and the sense of place are maintained and enhanced as the city evolves around the park.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report provides an update on the planned revitalization of Queen's Park North. In response to March City Council direction (EX29.3), City staff have made several changes to the project's Concept Plan. Key areas of change include:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Development of an Urban Forest Management Plan that will guide all aspects of park revitalization;

\r\n

- Increased focus on maintaining and emphasizing the heritage of the park through a Draft Statement of Significance;

\r\n

- Assessment of a feasibility study and business case to inform the next steps of the food and beverage offering;

\r\n

- Proposal to introduce a time-limited working group to inform detailed design as the project proceeds to the next phases.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

These proposed changes are outlined in this report and reflected in the revised Concept Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff are seeking Council approval of the Concept Plan with parameters to guide the next phase of detailed design and execute project agreements that were authorized by City Council through EX29.3, subject to consideration of this update on the Concept Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The vision for Queen's Park North is a comprehensive revitalization strategy combining:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Proactive tree care and urban forest management,

\r\n

- Enhanced maintenance and proactive operations,

\r\n

- Education, interpretation and appropriately scaled programming,

\r\n

- Improvements to visitor experience for all ages,

\r\n

- High-quality, inclusive design, and

\r\n

- A collaborative stewardship model.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The analysis, information, and recommendations consolidated through the latest phase of work have been used to meaningfully revise the Concept Plan to balance passive and active uses of the park while furthering the project vision. Key Concept Plan changes since draft directions were presented publicly in March include:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Urban Forest Protection and Enhancement: An Urban Forest Management Plan is being advanced by an independent urban forest consultant to guide all aspects of the project, from concept design through construction and long-term stewardship. Phase 1 of the plan is complete and has provided clear directions that have been incorporated into the updated Concept Plan to protect existing trees, including minimizing impacts to root systems. Subsequent phases will inform any further changes during detailed design and establish a long-term strategy to expand and strengthen the urban forest in Queen's Park North.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Learning Forest: The Learning Forest proposal for the western quadrant of the park, home to several distinctive and rare trees, has been revised in response to the Urban Forest Management Plan, public input and design development. The revised proposal introduces a shorter, lower elevated walkway than previously proposed that is designed to protect root zones from compaction and to use existing hardscape to minimize new impacts to the trees, in particular distinctive trees. The area will include a low enclosure to support the planting of native understory plants, reflecting Indigenous principles of companion plantings.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Central Building: The proposed building at the centre of the park has been reduced in size and footprint and carefully sited to minimize impacts on existing trees and root zones. The revised approach separates the public washrooms from the café building to further reduce environmental impacts and allow for more flexible operations. The building program is proposed to host a viable year-round café at a scale supported by initial staff and third-party reviews of the food and beverage business case and operating model and subject to further review and due diligence. The building will also provide a hub for the staff team dedicated to park operations. Its central location, with outdoor seating and public washrooms nearby, will provide a gathering space for the community, University users and park visitors.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Commemorative Garden: The footprint of the commemorative garden has been reduced in size and its configuration reoriented to avoid key tree protection areas, responding to public feedback and the Urban Forestry Management Plan. These changes improve pedestrian circulation, reduce paved surfaces, preserve more open lawn space, and better integrate the garden within the existing park landscape.

\r\n

 

\r\n

-  Indigenous Design and Programming: A key project principle is to embed Indigenous cultural values, history and storytelling in both the physical landscape of the revitalized park as well as its stewardship approach. The project team is advancing dedicated scopes of work with First Nations to develop culturally specific design, interpretation, education, and programming elements, alongside broader engagement with Indigenous communities. The recommended Concept Plan foregrounds opportunities for Indigenous placekeeping and authorship, and identifies key locations for integration, with details to be further refined through collaboration during detailed design.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Workshop: The Workshop, as a stand-alone structure, has been removed from the Concept Plan, reducing the number of proposed structures in response to feedback received. The plan will provide space and amenities to support community and educational activities with the Learning Forest, Commemorative Garden and other areas of the park.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Public Art Framework: A public art framework is being developed, informed by public feedback and Council direction, to guide the integration of both permanent and temporary works throughout the park. This approach enables the thoughtful placement and curation of art that reflects the park’s cultural significance and enhances interpretive opportunities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The revised Concept Plan reflects a balanced and responsive approach to the revitalization of Queen’s Park North. Through the integration of the Urban Forest Management Plan, technical analysis, and engagement feedback, staff have refined the design to further reduce impacts to trees, appropriately scale built elements, and strengthen the park’s ecological resilience. The updated Concept Plan emphasizes the protection and long-term health of the urban forest while introducing carefully sized amenities, emphasizing opportunities for education and interpretation, and enhancing spaces for gathering and everyday use.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This recommended Concept Plan builds on extensive engagement (July 2025 - May 2026) with thousands of park users and stakeholders over multiple phases. Feedback has been carefully considered throughout the process, with particular attention to concerns related to tree protection, the scale of proposed changes, and the role of programming within the park. The revised Concept Plan reflects a deliberate effort to respond to these perspectives, refine key elements, and identify a balanced approach that can serve the park’s diverse users and functions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Pending Council's direction, staff will execute the donation agreement and other project agreements and advance the development of detailed designs for all park elements. Detailed design will be guided by further development of the Council-directed studies as well as ongoing engagement with project stakeholders, including a project working group to support decision-making on detailed design in advance of formally establishing the longer-term advisory structure. City staff will secure permits, procure construction services, and oversee the phased delivery of the plan to minimize disruptions to the park. Staff will report back to City Council regarding project progress in early 2027, in 2028 and on a biennial basis for the remainder of the term of the donation.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Paddle the Don was a Toronto and Region Conservation Authority event that ran from 1993 to 2019. The event was framed around watershed awareness and environmental stewardship and included a guided canoe trip down the Don River, engaging roughly 500 participants annually. In 2020, the event was paused due to a combination of factors, including COVID-19, ongoing construction in the Lower Don, and broader operational, safety, and financial considerations associated with delivering the event.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto and Region Conservation Authority have identified several considerations that must be addressed in order to reinstate Paddle the Don in 2027. These include coordinating event operations in consideration of ongoing construction activities in the lower Don, assessing staff time and resources required to deliver the event, and reviewing financial implications associated with event costs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City staff will continue to work collaboratively across divisions and with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to support a reinstatement of Paddle the Don, as appropriate, particularly through inter-divisional and inter-agency coordination.

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

Ontario operates a successful deposit return system for alcohol, seeing an average of 75 percent of all empties returned to Beer Stores each year. The deposit return provides a consumer incentive to consciously recycle.

\r\n


This system must be expanded to include all beverage containers. Ontario is one of Canada’s only provinces without a deposit-return program for non-alcoholic beverages. As a result, Ontario has the lowest beverage container recovery rate in Canada - at roughly 50 percent of containers being recycled.

\r\n


Other provinces such as Alberta, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia have an expanded deposit return program and see recovery rates 50 percent higher than Ontario.

\r\n


The Ontario government proposed expanding the deposit return program to include non-alcoholic containers in 2023 but has yet to do so.

\r\n


The City of Toronto must join Peel Region, the City of Waterloo, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative in urging the Ontario government to immediately implement a deposit-return program for non-alcoholic beverage containers.

Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Toronto Transit Commission Board to work with Metrolinx, in consultation with the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee, to improve tactile wayfinding for those with visual impairments in stations along Line 5 to ensure that riders can safely navigate to escalators, elevators and stairs, and to establish this as a standard approach for future stations and existing stations undergoing refurbishment.

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

Since the opening of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, we have heard from many residents about the impact it has made on their day-to-day lives. Having access to higher order transit opens alternative transportation options and connections to the rest of the City – especially for those with disabilities or mobility challenges which may complicate other modes of transportation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Unfortunately, it has recently been highlighted by disability advocates that wayfinding along the new line is not up to standard. In particular, the tactile wayfinding floor tiles in many new stations along Line 5 direct riders only to elevators, not to stairs or escalators. When elevators are out of service for maintenance and repairs, this leaves riders who are visually impaired without guidance to alternatives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The design of stations along Line 5, and throughout our transit network, should prioritize accessibility for all riders. The deficiencies identified in the new Crosstown LRT stations should be addressed as soon as possible.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Zoning for Low-Carbon Technologies is a review of Zoning By-law 569-2013 with a focus on climate action and enabling low-carbon technologies. The recommended zoning changes provide an opportunity to modernize the City-wide Zoning By-law to support the implementation of the Official Plan, Toronto’s climate strategy, TransformTO, and contribute towards the City’s goal of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This study seeks to facilitate climate action across the city and make it easier for residents and businesses to retrofit buildings, switch to heat pumps, generate more renewable energy, and charge electric vehicles (EVs). This report recommends zoning amendments to facilitate the adoption of low-carbon technologies, such as heat pumps, energy storage systems, and solar energy devices on lands regulated under the Residential Zone category. This report also recommends permissions to facilitate building energy retrofits and introduce new opportunities to introduce EV charging stations and solar energy devices into surface parking areas across all zones.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The recommended amendments have been developed in consultation with relevant City divisions and industry experts. They also consider industry best practices, recent development trends, and the City’s climate strategy. They are consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 and conform with the Official Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This study is divided into two phases. Phase 2 will consider zoning amendments to enable low-carbon technologies within all zones across Toronto and is expected to advance in Q3 2027.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report outlines the analysis, consultation process, and recommended zoning amendment to advance the fourth phase of work to incorporate low-rise residential lands in Scarborough District into Zoning By-law 569-2013 (the \"City-wide Zoning By-law). Staff recommend bringing low-rise residential lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law with zoning standards that are consistent with the applicable standards in the former municipal zoning by-law, consistent with city-wide zoning amendments, and in conformity with the Official Plan. These properties had active zoning by-law amendment or site plan control applications in 2012 and were excluded from the City-wide Zoning By-law through the transition protocol.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This study is part of the on-going work to simplify and modernize the City-wide Zoning By-law, and to support consistent application of the City-wide Zoning By-law. Bringing these lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law will remove barriers, ease administration, and enable the creation of more housing as part of the Housing Action Plan. In addition, the recommended zoning by-law amendment will enable properties to take advantage of the removal of parking minimums and permissions for a broad range of \"missing middle\" housing permissions in support of the Housing Action Plan and its target of 285,000 homes over the next ten years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City staff have completed the fourth phase of the study's work plan by reviewing approximately 379 properties in the Scarborough district subject to former municipal zoning by-laws, and assessing the appropriateness of each property for inclusion in the City-wide Zoning By-law. This report recommends approval of the attached zoning amendment to incorporate approximately 201 low-rise residential properties into the City-wide Zoning By-law.

There are no immediate financial implications arising from the recommendations in this Report. The recommended Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments enable future development of a city-owned Toronto Builds site, but do not approve a specific development proposal nor secure a development partner at this time.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As noted below, in 2021, City Council approved 40 Bushby Drive as part of the Housing Now program through PH28.2, “Housing Now Initiative – Annual Progress Update and Launch of Phase Three Sites”. This 2021 report authorized up to $50.1 million in Open Door Program incentives to activate the Phase Three Sites, which included the subject site. Since that time, the site is now being advanced through the revised Toronto Builds initiative for delivery of affordable housing. Eligibility for financial incentives has been previously endorsed, however, the total value of any incentives will be subject to future Council approval once a detailed development proposal and proponent are confirmed. Forgone revenues will be reported on in a future report once the site is ready to proceed under Toronto Builds and development details are available to support such an estimate. Any financial incentives provided will not be a direct capital payment as they will represent the forgiveness of City levies and charges and is thus foregone revenue to the City.

\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 amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit three residential towers which range in height from 59 to 44-storeys and a minimum non-residential gross floor area of 1,000 square metres at 40 Bushby Drive. The recommended Official Plan Amendment removes the requirement for a public street in the Scarborough Secondary Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The recommended Zoning By-law Amendment protects for any outcomes that may emerge from the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) Future Use Initiative. The site is located across the street from the future Scarborough Centre station, currently under construction. It also contains infrastructure related to the former Line 3 SRT being evaluated under the SRT Future Use Initiative.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City-owned site addressed in this Report is being developed in accordance with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework (\"Toronto Builds\"), which guides the development of new housing, including affordable housing. Consistent with the Toronto Builds Policy Framework, 20-30% of the residential units are proposed to be affordable and the development will provide a publicly accessible space and non-residential space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Housing Development Office, in consultation with other City divisions and agencies, will oversee future delivery of the site, including determining the delivery model, securing development partners where appropriate, and advancing the feasibility and detailed design through a future Site Plan Control process.

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no financial impacts associated with the adoption of this report.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The purpose of this report is to seek City Council approval to amend City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 27, Council Procedures, and City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, to implement City Council’s 2021 direction regarding the exclusion of development-related addresses from eligibility for the residential on-street permit parking program.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2021, City Council directed that potential amendments to Chapter 925, Permit Parking, be included in preliminary and final reports related to Zoning By-law Amendment applications to exclude residents of, visitors to, and tradespersons at new development addresses from eligibility for residential on-street permit parking. The intent was to address permit parking eligibility earlier in the development review process and reduce the need for separate reports following project approval.

\r\n

 

\r\n

However, Section 27-18.4B(3) of Chapter 27 delegates authority over on-street permit parking matters on public lanes or public alleys, local roads, collector roads, and on minor and major arterial roads without an established TTC route to Community Council. This creates a procedural inconsistency that limits the ability to implement permit parking exclusion recommendations through Development Review reports and often requires separate reports to Community Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To address this issue, the proposed amendment to Chapter 27 would clarify that the authority delegated to Community Council does not apply to amendments to Chapter 925 that exclude residents of, visitors to, or tradespersons at addresses within the Excluded Area, nor does it apply to addresses associated with Zoning By-law Amendment applications. Corresponding amendments to Chapter 925 would give effect to this change and consolidate currently excluded addresses into a new schedule to the chapter.

\r\n

These amendments will fully implement Council’s prior direction, improve coordination between development review and permit parking processes, reduce administrative duplication, and provide a more efficient and consistent approval process.

This report requests City Council approval of property tax exemptions for 22 residential condominium units that were previously owned by Toronto Artscape Inc. (Artscape) and that have been acquired by the City as part of its response to the Artscape receivership proceedings. These units currently have a property tax exemption as City Property, but new Council authority is required before the City can enter into a long-term lease agreement with a new housing provider, ANPHI Affordable Homes Inc. (AAHI). This recommendation meets the requirements of O. Reg 598/06 of the City of Toronto Act in that it supports the provision of affordable rental housing. Table 1 below summarizes the estimated net present value (NPV) of these property tax exemptions over a 99-year period at $2,850,144. These exemptions are not direct cash payments from the City but represent forgone property tax revenue over the term of the affordability period. Ongoing eligibility for the property tax exemption will remain conditional on the continued compliance of AAHI with the terms and conditions of the City’s Contribution Agreement over the term of the agreement.

This report recommends nominal‑value leases for the 22 City-owned residential condominium units at 38 Abell Street and 210 Simcoe Street for a term of up to 99 years. If these units were leased at market rate, the City would generate lease revenue over the term of the lease.[1] By providing long‑term leases at nominal cost to AAHI, the City forgoes potential market-based lease revenues in exchange for securing long‑term affordability on City-owned properties and advancing the City’s affordable housing objectives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The opportunity cost of the leases, expressed in NPV terms, is estimated at approximately $17,466,815 over the 99 year period, with NPV calculated only for the years 2036-2124 (using a discount rate of 3%) to reflect that affordability restrictions preclude market-rate leasing prior to 2036. Accordingly, the total financial contribution provided to AAHI is estimated at $20,316,959.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The lease structure is a carefree net lease to the City. Throughout the term, AAHI will be responsible for all operating costs associated with the leased premises, resulting in no net cost to the City, as outlined in Attachment 1 - Major Terms & Conditions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

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

","agendaItemSummary":"

In August 2023, Toronto Artscape Inc. (Artscape), a non-profit operator of affordable housing and community cultural spaces, announced that it had become insolvent and that its assets would be put up for sale by a court-appointed receiver. Through Item 2023.MM11.32, City Council provided direction to the City Solicitor to participate in the receivership proceedings with a view to protecting the City's property and interests in affordable housing and affordable not for profit community arts and culture space, and provided authority to settle or take reasonable steps to preserve the affordable housing units and non-profit cultural spaces that had been operated by Artscape.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report provides an update, as directed by City Council through 2023.MM11.32, on the outcome of the City's efforts to protect residential and non-profit cultural tenants impacted by the receivership proceedings, and requests authorities needed to protect the existing tenancies and preserve affordable rental housing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As part of the response to the receivership, the City worked with Artscape to develop comprehensive transition plans for each of its properties and provided direct support to tenants and community partners. In September 2024, the City purchased 22 condominium units, located at 38 Abell Street and 210 Simcoe Street, previously owned by Artscape and operated as affordable rental homes. This report requests authority to enter into one or more long-term nominal leases and Contribution Agreement(s) with ANPHI Affordable Homes Inc. (AAHI) to operate these units.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City's exceptional efforts, in concert with community and government partners, resulted in the retention of all of Artscape's former portfolio for affordable artists' housing and community not-for-profit cultural hubs, save for the former Artscape Launchpad facility - a remarkable outcome in preserving live, work and presentation space for Toronto's cultural community.

Entering into Municipal Housing Project Facility Agreements (the City’s Contribution Agreements) with TCHC

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report seeks City Council authority to enter into Contribution Agreements with TCHC for the rental homes listed in Table 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The estimated total NPV of the property tax exemptions for 312 affordable rental units across the two properties owned by TCHC over the relevant affordability periods is $42.1 million, as shown in Table 2. These exemptions are not direct cash payments from the City but represent forgone revenue from the City portion of property taxes of approximately $37.3 million over the term of the affordability periods. The provincial education portion of property taxes of approximately $4.8 million will no longer be required to be remitted to the Province once the exemption takes effect. Ongoing eligibility for the property tax exemption is conditional on continued compliance with the terms and conditions of the City's Contribution Agreements over the term of the agreement.

Amendments to the Policy Framework for Ground Leases with Community Housing Providers

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends amendments to the Policy Framework for Ground Leases with Community Housing Providers to extend the allowable term length to up to 99 years, replacing the previously approved maximum of 49 years, where appropriate based on project-specific considerations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

If the City leased sites to community housing providers at market rates, the City would generate ground-lease revenue over the term of the agreement. By providing long-term land interests to community housing providers at below-market rates, the City forgoes potential ground rent and related market-based revenues, and some future land use flexibility, in exchange for securing long-term affordability on City-owned land and advancing the City’s affordable housing objectives.

\r\n

 

\r\n

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

","agendaItemSummary":"

The City recognizes the important role community housing providers play in advancing its vision for housing, as set out in the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (“HousingTO Plan”), and is actively engaged in preserving affordable housing for current and future residents. Maintaining and increasing access to affordable rents is further advanced through the Community Housing Sector Modernization and Growth Strategy (“Strategy”), as adopted by City Council in June 2024.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends approval of property tax exemptions for affordable homes within three co-operative housing sites and two properties owned by Toronto Community Housing Corporation (“TCHC”), through execution of a Municipal Housing Project Facility Agreement (\"Contribution Agreement”). This will advance the goals of the Strategy related to maintaining affordability of the existing community housing stock. The City has consistently applied property tax exemptions as a financial tool to protect and expand its supply of affordable housing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report will advance work on the new lease agreements for Alexandra Park Housing Co-operative (“Alexandra Park Co-op”), Beech Hall Housing Co-operative (\"Beech Hall Co-op\") and Stanley Knowles Housing Co-operative (\"Stanley Knowles Co-op\") and authorize the execution of Contribution Agreements to secure affordability of existing rental homes. To further progress work on new lease agreements, this report recommends updating the Policy Framework for Ground Leases with Community Providers to permit lease terms of up to 99 years, replacing the current maximum of 49 years. A longer maximum term gives the City greater flexibility to assess on a case by case to safeguard significant public investment in Toronto’s affordable housing stock.

\r\n

 

\r\n

TCHC is undertaking multi-phased revitalizations of the Regent Park and Alexandra Park communities, integrating both affordable and community housing. Securing property tax exemptions for these developments is consistent with the financial benefits applied to other TCHC properties.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Securing affordability in the existing community housing stock, through a Contribution Agreement, is a dependable approach to achieve improved housing outcomes. As a financial tool for the City, property tax exemptions provide a viable and cost-effective approach to preserve the supply of affordable rental housing in Toronto.

As part of the Christie’s Secondary Plan process, the City completed a review of community services and facilities and identified the need for a community recreation centre, library, childcare, community agency space, and new schools to address both current shortfalls and needs generated by future growth. The Secondary Plan and implementing Zoning By-law require these facilities and the GO Station, with delivery to be provided at different phases of the Christie's development according to the Section 37 and holding provisions in the by-law.

\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 amend the Reasons for Designation within the 2017 City of Toronto By-law 715-2017 designating the property at 339 Queen Street East under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, to include within the property's description reference to the direct association of the property with Cecil B. Tadman's nearly 50-year ownership of the property as the Home Furniture Company Limited, to further clarify the property's value as a representative example of Chicago School style architecture, and to include the historic post and beam timber frame construction as a heritage attribute.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 339 Queen Street East is located at the south-west corner of Queen Street East and Parliament Street. Built in 1907, with an extension in 1925-1926, the building is a three-storey, brick-clad store and warehouse, with curtain wall cladding on the first two storeys of the principal north and east façades. The property continuously operated as a furniture store for over a century. The property was originally owned by the Home Furniture Carpet Co. Ltd. from 1907 until 1928 and was sold to an employee, Cecil B. Tadman, who renamed the business “The Home Furniture Company Limited.” Tadman continued to own and operate the store for nearly 50 years until his death in 1976. The property was then owned and occupied by Marty Millionaire Ltd. from 1978 until 2014.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A rehabilitation of the building was completed in 2017 to house the WE Global Learning Centre, within which the original post and beam timber frame construction was retained. Staff have subsequently reviewed the interior and determined that it contributes to the physical value of 339 Queen Street East and its association with the Chicago School style and is therefore a heritage attribute. Additionally, in June 2024, the local Councillor requested that Heritage Planning staff respond to a concern expressed by the Tadman family that despite his long association with the property and the prominence of his business, Cecil B. Tadman's was not referenced in the designation by-law.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 2, 2025, the Toronto Public Library (TPL) announced the purchase of the property at 339 Queen Street East to house a new district library branch that will replace the current neighbourhood St. Lawrence branch located at 171 Front Street. At present TPL staff and Heritage Planning staff are exchanging information about the heritage significance of the building, including the proposed designation by-law amendment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At its meeting on May 13, 2026 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB44.12 and made recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Summary from the report (April 27, 2026) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

  

\r\n

This report recommends that City Council amend the Reasons for Designation within the 2017 City of Toronto By-law 715-2017 designating the property at 339 Queen Street East under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, to include within the property's description reference to the direct association of the property with Cecil B. Tadman's nearly 50-year ownership of the property as the Home Furniture Company Limited, to further clarify the property's value as a representative example of Chicago School style architecture, and to include the historic post and beam timber frame construction as a heritage attribute.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 339 Queen Street East is located at the south-west corner of Queen Street East and Parliament Street. Built in 1907, with an extension in 1925-1926, the building is a three-storey, brick-clad store and warehouse, with curtain wall cladding on the first two storeys of the principal north and east façades. The property continuously operated as a furniture store for over a century. The property was originally owned by the Home Furniture Carpet Co. Ltd. from 1907 until 1928 and was sold to an employee, Cecil B. Tadman, who renamed the business “The Home Furniture Company Limited.” Tadman continued to own and operate the store for nearly 50 years until his death in 1976. The property was then owned and occupied by Marty Millionaire Ltd. from 1978 until 2014.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A rehabilitation of the building was completed in 2017 to house the WE Global Learning Centre, within which the original post and beam timber frame construction was retained. Staff have subsequently reviewed the interior and determined that it contributes to the physical value of 339 Queen Street East and its association with the Chicago School style and is therefore a heritage attribute. Additionally, in June 2024, the local Councillor requested that Heritage Planning staff respond to a concern expressed by the Tadman family that despite his long association with the property and the prominence of his business, Cecil B. Tadman's was not referenced in the designation by-law.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 2, 2025, the Toronto Public Library (TPL) announced the purchase of the property at 339 Queen Street East to house a new district library branch that will replace the current neighbourhood St. Lawrence branch located at 171 Front Street. At present TPL staff and Heritage Planning staff are exchanging information about the heritage significance of the building, including the proposed designation by-law amendment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As a result of staff review, Heritage Planning recommend that the City Council amend designation By-law 715-2017 with the Revised Reasons for Designation, appended as Attachment 2 to this report. A comparison of the existing and proposed revised wording for Schedule \"A\" of By-law 715-2017 is appended in this report as Attachment 3.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 4150 Yonge Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (\"the 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 4150 Yonge Street, known historically as the John Street Workers Cottages, is located on the west side of Yonge Street north of Wilson Avenue in the Bedford Park-Nortown neighbourhood of North York. It contains two semi-detached (originally detached), single-storey residential structures, fronting onto an office park with frontage along Yonge Street. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property are included in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property is comprised of two single-storey Ontario Cottage style house form buildings with cedar shingle roofs and stucco exteriors. Relocated to their present location in the 1980s, the cottages were originally known as 22 and 26 John Street (no longer extant) and were part of a trio of mid-nineteenth century workers cottages that once fronted onto a residential streetscape. Built in 1860 by local carpenter Robert Gray, the John Street Workers Cottages historically housed a mix of tradespeople and millworkers, along with their families, up until the redevelopment of the area in the late 20th century. Following their relocation and rehabilitation in the 1980s, the two remaining cottages were conjoined and converted into an upscale restaurant - Auberge de Pommier - which has served the adjacent office park and surrounding area for forty years. The subject property stands as a prominent physical remnant of the former village of York Mills.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject property at 4150 Yonge Street was listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register on September 27, 2006.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This property is one of eighteen pre-1870 listed properties citywide which have been identified as candidates for designation through the City's implementation of Bill 23 amendments to the Act and its ongoing prioritization strategy for listed properties. Properties listed on the City's Heritage Register prior to January 1, 2023 will be deemed removed from the Heritage Register unless they are designated by January 1, 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Part of the City's strategy for the review of listed properties on the Heritage Register includes the procurement of qualified heritage consultants to research, evaluate, and prepare heritage evaluation reports for a subset of listed properties prioritized for designation. City Planning retained the services of Alex Corey Heritage Consulting (the Consultant) to research and evaluate a citywide group of eighteen pre-1870 listed properties which includes the subject property at 4150 Yonge Street. The Consultant evaluated the subject property and determined that it meets the provincial criteria.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Consultant's research on the subject property is included in Attachment 3 of this report. The research, analysis, and evaluation contained within Attachment 3 reflect the Consultant's professional expertise and opinion. Staff have independently reviewed the Consultant's research and heritage evaluation and concur with the determination that the property at 4150 Yonge Street has cultural heritage value and meets two 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

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

The subject property at 34 Jason Road, known historically as the Elm Bank Piggery, is located on the north side of Jason Road at the intersection of Riverdale Drive within the Thistletown community of Etobicoke. It contains a single-family house form building, constructed c. 1921, featuring an extension c.1926-33. The extension was built atop foundations believed to date to the mid-nineteenth century that once supported a piggery on the Elm Bank property belonging to the Grubb family. The Grubb family (later \"Grubbe\") were post-colonial settlers within the present-day Thistletown community.

\r\n

Summary from the revised report (June 4, 2026) 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 property at 34 Jason Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (\"the 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 34 Jason Road, known historically as the Elm Bank Piggery, is located on the north side of Jason Road at the intersection of Riverdale Drive within the Thistletown community of Etobicoke. It contains a single-family house form building, constructed c. 1921, featuring an extension c.1926-33. The extension was built atop foundations believed to date to the mid-nineteenth century that once supported a piggery on the Elm Bank property belonging to the Grubb family. The Grubb family (later \"Grubbe\") were post-colonial settlers within the present-day Thistletown community. In more recent years, the home was owned by the notable photographer Bruce Metcalfe, and his family. The property remains a physical reminder of Thistletown's agricultural past. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property are included in Attachment 2.

\r\n

The subject property at 34 Jason Road was listed on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register on September 27, 2006.

\r\n

This property is one of eighteen pre-1870 listed properties citywide which have been identified as candidates for designation through the City's implementation of Bill 23 amendments to the Act and its ongoing prioritization strategy for listed properties. Properties listed on the City's Heritage Register prior to January 1, 2023 will be deemed removed from the Heritage Register unless they are designated by January 1, 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Part of the City's strategy for the review of listed properties on the Heritage Register includes the procurement of qualified heritage consultants to research, evaluate, and prepare heritage evaluation reports for a subset of listed properties prioritized for designation. City Planning retained the services of Alex Corey Heritage Consulting (\"the Consultant\") to research and evaluate a citywide group of eighteen pre-1870 listed properties which includes the subject property at 34 Jason Road. The Consultant evaluated the subject property and determined that it meets the provincial criteria. Staff concur with this assessment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Consultant's research on the subject property is included as Attachment 3 of this report. The research, analysis, and evaluation contained within Attachment 3 reflect the Consultant's professional expertise and opinion. Staff have independently reviewed the Consultant's research and heritage evaluation and concur with the determination that the property at 34 Jason Road has cultural heritage value and meets four of the Ontario Regulation 9/06 criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the 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

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

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 328 Bellamy Road North under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (\"the 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

The subject property at 328 Bellamy Road North, historically known as the John Perryman (J.P.) Wheler House, is located on the west side of Bellamy Road North, south of Lawrence Avenue East, in the Golfdale-Cedarbrae-Woburn neighbourhood of Scarborough. It contains a two-and-a-half-storey brick \"bank\" house situated to the rear of the Bendale Bible Chapel which fronts onto Bellamy Road North. A location map and current photograph of the heritage property are found in Attachment 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property contains a two-and-a-half-storey brick \"bank\" house built in 1867 and designed in a vernacular style with Gothic elements emblematic of Ontario's rural residential architecture from the early to mid-nineteenth century. The bank-style Wheler House was built into the side of a hill, rising above West Highland Creek and presents from the south side as a two-and-a-half-storey building, and from the north as a single-storey plus attic residence. J.P. Wheler, a local agriculturalist, mill owner, and politician, was a prominent figure within Woburn and Scarborough Township, serving as reeve 18 times between 1851 and 1875. Though partially obscured from the public realm since the circa 1959 construction of the Bendale Bible Chapel, which is attached to the J.P. Wheler House along its east façade, the subject property remains a strong historic reminder of Woburn and Scarborough's rural, agrarian, past.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In accordance with 3.1.6.50 of the Official Plan and the City's Protocol for the Identification and Review of Heritage Places of Worship, Heritage Planning staff consulted members of the Bendale Bible Chapel to determine if any of the heritage attributes identified in the Statement of Significance and in a future designating by-law were liturgical elements, and therefore not subject to regulation while the property remained in use by the congregation. The Bendale Bible Chapel confirmed that while the structure is used for liturgical purposes none of the identified attributes were liturgical elements.

","agendaItemSummary":"

On July 10, 2025, an application to amend the Zoning By-law was submitted (the \"Application\") and deemed complete on November 6, 2025, satisfying the City's minimum application requirements. The Application seeks to permit three four-storey residential buildings with approximately 125 dwelling units at 3100 Weston Road. The Carmine Stefano Community Centre and existing heritage structures, including the main house, garage and pumphouse on the subject lands are to remain.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On February 23, 2026, the applicant appealed the Application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (“OLT”) due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This Report recommends that the City Solicitor, with the appropriate City Staff, attend the OLT hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report summarizes the work completed to date, including community consultation, for the Woodbine Secondary Plan study and identifies the emerging vision and guiding principles to inform the next phase of work.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Woodbine Secondary Plan study is being undertaken to develop a vision and comprehensive planning framework for the Secondary Plan area anchoring the southeast quadrant of the Woodbine lands. The framework will form the foundation for the Woodbine Secondary Plan, Urban Design Guidelines, Transportation Master Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan and other planning tools to guide the development of a complete community within the Secondary Plan area that is well integrated with the overall Woodbine lands.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Woodbine Secondary Plan study is a City-initiated process with background materials submitted by the landowner, Woodbine Entertainment Group (WEG) and their consultants, based on the City’s approved Terms of References. The WEG submission included a conceptual Master Plan, conceptual Urban Structure Plan, various technical studies and draft guiding principles supporting WEG's vision for a mixed-use community within the Secondary Plan area. These materials were used by City staff to frame the first phase of the Secondary Plan study process and formed the basis of community and stakeholder engagement. This work resulted in the identification of eight key principles and emerging directions for the planned urban structure which will inform the next phase of work: open, connected, rational, diverse, flexible, complete at every stage, sustainable, a place of its place.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The next phase of the Secondary Plan study will include continued engagement with community members and stakeholders; completion of the updated Compatibility and Mitigation study; identification of community service and facilities needs and opportunities; refinement of the emerging directions for parks and open spaces; and the preparation of the Urban Design Guidelines. This work will proceed concurrently with the advancement of the Transportation Master Plan and Infrastructure Master Plan and will informed by, and aligned with, the outcomes of both plans.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff expect to bring forward the final report and recommended Secondary Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan (IMP), Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and Urban Design Guidelines to City Council for adoption by the second quarter of 2027. The Secondary Plan will guide growth and investment of a complete community. The IMP will address the municipal infrastructure servicing requirements, including stormwater management, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water servicing needs, as well as green infrastructure and low impact development opportunities. The TMP will address the street network, transit and active transportation connections. The Urban Design Guidelines will support and provide additional guidance on the built form, public realm and parks and open space policies in the Secondary Plan.

3. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, and the Chief Executive Officer, Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to review options to restore and expand access to public parking at Etobicoke York District TTC Stations, and to report back on how improved transit parking can reduce local road congestion and increase transit ridership in Etobicoke York District.

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

Etobicoke-York continues to experience some significant transit service gaps when compared to other parts of the city. Many neighbourhoods remain highly car-dependent due to limited access to rapid transit, infrequent service, and overall travel times. In this context, the elimination of minimum parking requirements for new developments in areas that are not well served by transit may result in increased on-street parking demand, heightened traffic congestion, and spillover parking impacts on established residential neighbourhoods.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition, new condominium, townhome, and multiplex developments that later petition for access to on-street residential parking permits place further pressure on local streets and undermine parking availability for existing residents and their visitors.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These impacts can negatively affect neighbourhood livability and contribute to conflicts over limited curbside space. At the same time, parking at TTC Stations play a critical role as first- and last-mile infrastructure by enabling residents to access public transit where walking, cycling, or feeder bus options are limited. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Maintaining and restoring access to transit parking can help reduce congestion on local roads, support increased transit ridership, and provide practical transportation options for Etobicoke-York residents during the transition to improved transit service.

","agendaItemSummary":"

An Application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law for 75-81 Billy Bishop Way (the \"Subject Lands\") was submitted to the City, and after satisfying the City's minimum application requirements was deemed complete on July 21, 2025. The Application seeks to permit a mixed-use development comprised of 5 tall buildings ranging in height from 21-storeys (83.6 metres) to 49-storeys (164.1 metres), organized within three building blocks that include 6-storey base buildings, and containing 2,055 dwelling units (the \"Proposal\"). The Proposal includes 149,161 square metres of residential gross floor area; 2,493 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, including a child care centre; and a centralized privately-owned public space.   

\r\n

 

\r\n

On March 24, 2026, the applicant appealed the Proposal to the Ontario Land Tribunal citing Council’s failure to make a decision within the timeframe specific by the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference with the Ontario Land Tribunal has been scheduled for June 18. 2026.

\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 to oppose the Proposal in its current form and to continue discussions with the Applicant to resolve the outstanding issues in advance of a Hearing.

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no financial implications resulting from the recommendations included in this report in the current budget year or in future years. The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and agrees with the financial impact information.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends the approval of two Official Plan Amendments to establish a renewed vision for the Don Mills Regeneration Areas which will guide the evolution of the Leslie Site (1121 and 1123 Leslie Street) and the Wynford-Gervais Site (15 Gervais Drive, 39 Wynford Drive and 1200 Eglinton Avenue East), from employment uses to new mixed-use communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These recommended policy frameworks will support the development of transit-oriented communities that leverage the recently opened Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit while responding to their individual contexts. For the Leslie Site, this includes protecting the portion of the City’s Natural Heritage System that traverses the northern end of the site, identifying new streets to connect with the existing and planned street network and providing linkages to the Don Mills Trail. For the Wynford-Gervais Site, it is important to identify the new street and active transportation connections to support movement through the site including to nearby transit, and respond to the adjacent Aga Khan Park and Museum and Ismaili Centre through built form transition and recommended Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Spaces and mid-block connection locations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For both sites, the recommended policies also direct the establishment of a consolidated, centrally located park; ensure that development supports and enhances the existing heritage buildings and their landscape settings; require an appropriate mix of residential and non-residential uses that responds to each site’s locational characteristics; and support a diversity of housing opportunities and a high quality public realm.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Don Mills Regeneration Area Study was initiated in the summer of 2025 by a multi-disciplinary staff and consultant team. It was informed by a series of background studies and a robust public engagement program which included meetings with various stakeholders and with Six Nations of the Grand River Elected Council.

On January 2, 2025, applications to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law were submitted and deemed complete on August 13, 2025. The applications seek to permit four residential buildings, three of which are proposed to be 42 storeys (140.50 metres) and the other is proposed to be 47 storeys (155.25 metres). Collectively, the applications propose 1,814 units and a total gross floor area of 129,885 square metres within a two-phased redevelopment plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

An associated Rental Housing Demolition application has been submitted to demolish the existing 19-storey rental apartment building that contains 226 rental units. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

On February 27, 2026, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal due to Council’s failure to make a decision on those applications within the time frame in the Planning Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This Report recommends that the City Solicitor with the appropriate City Staff attend the Ontario Land Tribunal hearing to oppose the applications in their current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues.

3. City Council request the Director, Community Planning, Scarborough District, to explore opportunities for retaining additional trees and/or potential cash-in-lieu of planting through the Site Plan Control Application Process.

","financialImpactWep":"

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 reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit three blocks of four-storey stacked and back-to-back townhouse units for the site municipally known as 5, 7, 9 and 11 Bellamy Road South (the \"Site\").

\r\n

 

\r\n

The development would contain a total of 110 residential units with a total residential gross floor area of 14,100 square metres, resulting in a density of 1.85 times the area of the Site. A total of 3 two-bedroom units, 60 three-bedroom units and 47 four-bedroom units are proposed. The proposed development would be supported by a total of 108 vehicular parking spaces, as well as 84 bicycle parking spaces.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024), and conforms to the City’s Official Plan. It provides residential intensification on lots that vary from the local development pattern with a form proportionate to what is permitted by zoning for adjacent residential properties while benefitting from frequent bus service along Kingston Road and a nearby GO station.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the proposed development.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This Report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law, to permit the development of a 14 storey mixed used building (plus mechanical penthouse) at 468 to 480 Danforth Road and 509 Birchmount Road. The proposal contains a total of 526 residential units and 1,563 square metres of ground floor retail. The proposal also provides approximately 754 square metres of on-site parkland dedication that would expand the adjacent Sadler Parkette, consisting of a 545 square metre parcel at 509 Birchmount Road and a 209 square metre parcel at the northeast corner of 468 to 480 Danforth Road.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law Amendment. The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment application is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement (2024) and conforms to the City's Official Plan. It permits appropriately scaled intensification, including replacement of existing retail commercial space, and the expansion of a parkette. The report also recommends City Council approve a development charge credit against the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges for the subject proposal for the design and construction above base park improvements within the expanded parkette.

The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement, complies with the Official Plan, the Warden Woods Secondary Plan, and implements the site-specific Zoning By-law. The lifting of the Part Lot Control for a period of two years is considered appropriate for the orderly development of the lands.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit a development consisting of three residential towers of 25, 45 and 55 storeys in height containing 1,412 dwelling units with retail uses at grade. The proposed gross floor area is 117,913 square metres (including 4,810 square metres of retail space) resulting in a Floor Space Index of 6.42 times the lot area. A total of 1,446 vehicular parking spaces (primarily located in a three level underground garage that encompasses the entire site) and 1,087 bicycle parking spaces are also proposed.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposal is not consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement 2024 (PPS 2024), does not conform with the Official Plan and fails to meet applicable Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan policies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposal lacks on-site parkland dedication and public streets needed to appropriately organize the site within an emerging high density context. The proposal, does not align with the current Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan nor the emerging direction from the updated Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan as recently adopted by Council. This report recommends City Council authorize the City Solicitor, together with appropriate City Staff, to appear before the Ontario Land Tribunal in support of City Council’s decision to refuse the application.

","financialImpactWep":"

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 Guildwood Village Neighbourhood Character Guidelines (the \"Guidelines\").

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 17, 2024, City Council adopted a motion which directed that the Executive Director, Development Review, and the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning undertake a review of existing development guidelines and zoning regulations within the Guildwood Community and develop specific design guidelines that clearly articulate the desired architectural character and principles of the community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Planned and developed in the 1950s and 1960s, Guildwood Village, located along the Scarborough Bluffs, reflects the mid-century modern residential planning and design principles. The architectural character integrates with curvilinear streets and mature trees, creating an attractive, livable community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Guidelines (Attachment 5) have been developed in consultation with the community, to identify the predominant existing built form characteristics within Guildwood Village and provide guidance on how new development can be informed by these features as the neighbourhood evolves. An Architectural and Site Design Overview template is also included in Appendix E.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Guidelines are intended to complement existing Zoning By-law permissions. They may be considered by homeowners and builders when introducing new residential development into the study area, and by City staff when reviewing development applications.

The estimated cost for installing traffic control signals at the intersection of Kingston Road, the removal of the PRI at a point approximately 120 metres east of Victoria Park Avenue, and the associated parking changes on Kingston Road, is $300,000.00. Funding would be subject to availability and competing priorities within the Transportation Services 2026 Capital Budget.

","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

Transportation Services is requesting approval to install traffic control signals at the intersection of Kingston Road and Blantyre Avenue, and to remove the existing pedestrian refuge island (PRI) on Kingston Road, approximately 95 metres west of Blantyre Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While our analysis indicates that based on the current motor vehicle volumes, delays and collisions, the installation of traffic control signals is not technically warranted, we are recommending the installation at Kingston Road and Blantyre Avenue due to several factors:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- PRI's do not provide right-of-way for pedestrians and are not considered an enhanced form of pedestrian crossing protection.

\r\n

- The heavy traffic on the four-lane cross section of Kingston Road poses potential safety concerns for pedestrians crossing at the PRI to access the businesses located on either side of Kingston Road in the vicinity of the PRI.

\r\n

- Improve pedestrian access at the intersection of Kingston Road and Blantyre Avenue to TTC bus stops located on both sides of Kingston Road.

\r\n

- The distance between the nearest protected pedestrian crossings (traffic control signals) on Kingston Road is approximately 440 metres.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The installation of traffic control signals and removal of the PRI will provide enhanced safety for all road users and is justified based on the assessment undertaken.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition, the PRI removal will also necessitate parking changes.  Previously, parking had been prohibited at all times on both sides of Kingston Road, adjacent to the PRI. With the PRI removal, parking can be re-instated in these areas, adding approximately seven spaces.

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

Rouge National Urban Park stands as a landscape of national significance and a defining feature of the Greater Toronto Area. As Canada’s largest urban park, it welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors annually and serves as a vital sanctuary for biodiversity and conservation education. The park reached a major milestone last year, marking a decade since the federal government’s commitment to its creation, and we must now look toward the next critical phase of its development.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The park is currently undergoing a transformative expansion, with the new $20 million Rouge National Urban Park Visitor, Learning and Community Centre scheduled for its grand opening in 2027. This facility will serve as the primary gateway for residents and tourists to experience the park's full potential, making it essential that the transportation links and arrival points are clearly established and intuitively named well in advance of the opening date.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Currently, two separate roadways share the name \"Zoo Road,\" which creates significant navigational confusion. The eastern portion—while retaining the name—no longer leads to the Toronto Zoo and instead functions as the main access route for the national park. This duplication creates challenges for first-time visitors who find themselves misdirected and places an operational strain on local stakeholders like the ZooShare Biogas Plant, which has reported years of fielding calls from lost suppliers. Furthermore, clear and distinct road names are a prerequisite for efficient emergency response times within the park and surrounding industrial areas.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This renaming is not merely an administrative change but a unified request from every major tenant in the area, including Parks Canada (Appendix 1), the Toronto Zoo (Appendix 2), the Friends of Rouge National Urban Park (Appendix 3), the Waterfront Regeneration Trust (Appendix 4), and the ZooShare Biogas Co-operative (Appendix 5). This request meets the spirit of the policy through its unanimous institutional support and the undeniable suitability of the name “Rouge National Urban Park Road” for this specific location.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Given the impending 2027 opening and the low-cost, high-impact nature of this improvement, I am requesting to approve this renaming. It mirrors previous successful renamings, which strengthened the identity of a major City landmarks. Approval will ensure all technical mapping and signage updates are completed in time for the park's next chapter.

This report recommends approval of a revised Rental Housing Demolition application which proposes to demolish 23 rental dwelling units located at 564, 566, 568 and 574 Sherbourne Street and 29, 31, 33 and 37 Linden Street that will be replaced as 25 rental dwelling units as part of the new development on the site. The report also recommends replacing 23 existing rental dwelling rooms, proposed to be demolished as part of the overall redevelopment application, with 20 studio units as a condition of the approval of the revised rental housing demolition application.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The demolition of 19 rental dwelling units and 22 dwelling rooms was previously approved by City Council at its meeting on October 9 and 10, 2024. Since then the applicant has submitted a new Minor Variance application (26 148050 STE 13 MV) and revised their original rental housing demolition application, to, amongst other changes, incorporate the property at 564 Sherbourne Street, which contains 4 rental dwelling units and 1 dwelling room which are proposed for demolition. With the approval of the minor variance application the development would contain 716 residential units, including the 45 replacement units.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report provides new recommendations based on the revised rental housing demolition application incorporating 564 Sherbourne Street. These recommendations would replace the previously approved recommendations which did not include 564 Sherbourne Street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report also includes updated recommendations related to the approval of the Residential Demolition Permit under Chapter 363 of the Toronto Municipal Code, to incorporate 564 Sherbourne Street, subject to conditions.

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 the alterations proposed for the designated heritage properties at 6-8 Sumach Street and 10-12 Sumach Street under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in connection with a proposed development of the subject property, and that Council grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The subject property contains two Victorian-era terrace house-form buildings that are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Built as two identical pairs between 1886 and 1888, the four properties at 6-8 Sumach Street and 10-12 Sumach Street are valued as fine surviving examples of late Victorian era workers' housing that proliferated in the King-Parliament area during the second half of the 19th century.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 16 and 17, 2025, City Council stated its intention to designate the properties at 6-8 Sumach Street and 10-12 Sumach Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, and on February 4, 2026, enacted Designation By-law No. 90-2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed development application for the subject site includes the relocation of the two heritage buildings on the development site and the construction of two new mixed-use and residential towers. Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposed alterations conserve the subject heritage properties and are consistent with the existing policy framework. The heritage impacts of the proposal are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The development of the property requires the demolition of the “Cube House” at 1 Sumach Street. Staff and the applicant explored possible retention and relocation strategies for the listed heritage property but no reasonable solution could be identified. However, given the visibility and community interest in the Cube House, and the agreement between the City and the project heritage consultants that the property has heritage value sufficient to warrant commemoration, the applicant will prepare a robust Interpretation Plan for the site, including commissioning an artist to work with the community on a creative art installation to honour the presence of this intriguing residence.

Summary from the report (April 27, 2026) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 
This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the designated heritage properties at 6-8 Sumach Street and 10-12 Sumach Street under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in connection with a proposed development of the subject property, and that Council grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement.

The subject property contains two Victorian-era terrace house-form buildings that are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Built as two identical pairs between 1886 and 1888, the four properties at 6-8 Sumach Street and 10-12 Sumach Street are valued as fine surviving examples of late Victorian era workers' housing that proliferated in the King-Parliament area during the second half of the 19th century.

","financialImpactWep":"

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 a new Official Plan Amendment (OPA) within the Garrison Common North Secondary Plan that provides a vision for Liberty Village’s growth into a transit-oriented complete community with both housing and employment opportunities, consistent with Provincial directives and the City’s Official Plan.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The OPA’s vision seeks to remedy some of the current issues within Liberty Village such as traffic congestion and ensuring community amenities are provided commensurate with growth. The OPA’s policies also reflect the Council-adopted Liberty Village Public Realm Strategy, requiring that new developments increase the tree canopy and soft landscaping in the area and expand the public road network of Liberty Village.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The recommended OPA proposes the following:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- A balanced and feasible approach to both residential and non-residential growth;

\r\n

- Require affordable housing in both condominium and purpose-built rental projects;

\r\n

- Conserve and highlight heritage resources, ensuring that the historic character of Liberty Village is carried forward with growth;

\r\n

- New public streets and requiring development to provide wider, landscaped sidewalks;

\r\n

- Identify locations for new parks, open spaces, and midblock connections;

\r\n

- Strongly discourage travel through private vehicle, seeking to reduce residential parking spaces in new development, while prioritizing transit-use and active transportation;

\r\n

- Requiring that new development implement transportation demand management measures and designate on-site and off-street pick-up and drop-off areas;

\r\n

- Encourage cycling infrastructure within and surrounding Liberty Village, wherever feasible;

\r\n

- Identify community services and facilities that are needed in Liberty Village and begin directing public and private funding to these public facilities;

\r\n

- Provide policies that shape built form to appropriately mitigate impacts on parks and the public realm and limit impacts to light, view, and privacy; and

\r\n

- Strongly encourage sustainability practices and building design to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve building resiliency, and encourage a circular economy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The policies provided in the recommended OPA require that each development within the study area contribute to the achievement of this complete community of live, work and play. The recommended OPA is a result of a robust engagement process with the community, landowners, the BIA, and other local stakeholders as well as the findings in various background reports on heritage, community services and facilities, economic development, and municipal services.

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

At its meeting on April 27, 2026 the Toronto Preservation Board considered Item PB43.7 and made recommendations to City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Summary from the report (April 14, 2026) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report summarizes the findings of the Liberty Village Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) prepared by Heritage Planning staff and requests that the Toronto Preservation Board endorse the list of properties identified within the CHRA as having cultural heritage value.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On December 13, 2023, City Council accepted a settlement which resulted in the conversion and re-designation of lands in Liberty Village west of Hanna Avenue from Core Employment Areas to Regeneration Areas. In the Summer of 2024, the Liberty For All Planning Study (www.toronto.ca/libertyforall) was initiated to establish a comprehensive planning framework for Liberty Village and to set out a long-term vision for the achievement of a complete community centered around transit investment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Liberty Village CHRA was initiated as an integral component of the Liberty For All Planning Study.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The CHRA presents an understanding of the Liberty Village CHRA study area as an evolved cultural heritage landscape, comprising a significant area of industrial production, economic activity, and labour activism spanning the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The character of the area is evident in the range of cultural heritage resources, including the late-19th to mid-20th century industrial buildings and complexes that have been adaptively reused, remnant rail spurs, extant smokestacks and courtyard spaces within building complexes and mid-block connections which created permeability through the large blocks to facilitate the movement and storage of raw materials and manufactured goods.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The CHRA makes recommendations intended to conserve, interpret and commemorate the evolved Liberty Village cultural heritage landscape. Recommendations include the identification of 22 properties with cultural heritage value, the retention of extant rail spurs, smokestacks, and courtyards, and the creative commemoration and interpretation of the area’s labour history in the public realm. A final recommendation supports the consideration of opportunities to advance truth and reconciliation within new development and public realm design to reflect the values and heritage of Indigenous communities, where supported through consultation with Indigenous communities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The final report for the Liberty For All Planning Study will be considered by Toronto and East York Community Council and City Council. The findings from the CHRA have informed and guided the development of site and area specific policies, ensuring that heritage considerations are meaningfully integrated. Furthermore, the staff report will recommend that City Council identify the properties listed in Attachment 2 as having cultural heritage value or interest, as identified through the Liberty Village Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment study.

","agendaItemSummary":"

On July 11, 2025, an application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law was submitted and was deemed complete on August 11, 2025, satisfying the City's minimum application requirements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Official Plan Amendment proposes to permit institutional uses at 110-114 Maitland Street and 440 Jarvis Street. The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes a 56-storey (184.5 metres, including mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building with 579 dwelling units, of which 36 are replacement rental units, and approximately 4,739 square metres of non-residential space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A Rental Housing Demolition Application has also been submitted to address rental replacement obligations for the 36 existing rental units on site in conjunction with the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On March 30, 2026, the applicant appealed the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment Application to the Ontario Land Tribunal (“OLT”) due to Council’s failure to make a decision within the time frame in the Planning Act.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This Report recommends that the City Solicitor with the appropriate City Staff attend the OLT hearing to oppose the application in its current form and to continue discussions with the applicant to resolve any outstanding issues.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations and demolitions under Sections 33 and 34(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act for the property at 40 Wabash Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

40 Wabash Avenue, a City owned property is located on the north side of Wabash Avenue between Sorauren Avenue to the west and MacDonell Avenue to the east, and west of the CNR/CPR railway lines, in the Roncesvalles neighbourhood. The property contains a former linseed oil mill factory comprised of several buildings varying from one to three storeys in height constructed in phases from 1910 into the 1940s and featuring a prominent chimney stack that is visible from Dundas Street West and the adjacent rail corridor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The factory was purpose built for the Canada Linseed Oil Mills Ltd., a Montreal-based company in operation from 1901 until circa 1970, and portions of it were designed by the architectural firm Langley & Howland. The property is closely associated with the industrial activity of the Wabash-Sorauren area, the development history and character of which was influenced by the location of the railways to the east.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The existing building has been vacant since 1969 and was acquired by the City in 2000. It is adjacent to the Sorauren Avenue Park and the Sorauren Fieldhouse, the former office building of the Canada Linseed Oil Mills factory. In 2016, City Council approved a budget for the redevelopment of the remaining lands at 40 Wabash Avenue, including the adaptive re-use of the former industrial buildings as a community centre. In March 2026, City Council stated its intention to designate the existing building at 40 Wabash Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. A city-initiated Site Plan application was submitted in July 2024 that proposed a Community Recreation Centre to be integrated within the existing heritage building at 40 Wabash Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This application proposes alterations under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the construction of a new community centre and to facilitate the adaptive reuse of the industrial factory complex. This application also proposes demolition of existing heritage attributes under Section 34(1) for the removal and reconstruction of the corbelled parapets and the one-storey Boiler House, and the removal of the existing steel grain hopper and steel canopy due to their poor condition and to accommodate accessibility needs, respectively.

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 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act to alter the Part IV designated heritage property located at 150 College Street (Medical Sciences Building – 1 King’s College Circle), in connection with the rehabilitation of the University of Toronto’s Medical Sciences Building. This 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 Medical Sciences Building complex is located at the southeast portion of King’s College Circle, between King’s College Road and Queen’s Park Crescent West, on the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus. The property is designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) through Designation By-law 84-2026 and currently houses the Temerty Faculty of Medicine and affiliated student programming.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Constructed between 1966 and 1970, the Medical Sciences Building is characterized by its asymmetrical massing, generally ranging between three and seven storeys, and its highly sculptural precast concrete panel cladding, designed by Canadian artists Robert Downing and Ted Bieler and the fabricator, Beer Precast. The subject property is a significant example of the University of Toronto’s post-war expansion and is recognized as a landmark within both the campus and the City of Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposal involves the rehabilitation of the Medical Sciences Building complex to support its continued use as a centre for leading-edge biomedical research. The proposed rehabilitation will introduce open-concept research, teaching, and social spaces to support collaboration and interdisciplinary work.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposal includes the demolition of the western-most wing (Wing B) and its replacement with a nine-storey multipurpose building, with a two-storey mechanical penthouse. The replacement building will accommodate new laboratory spaces, modernized teaching facilities, collaborative workspaces, and administrative offices.  

\r\n

 

\r\n

The impacts of the proposed development on the heritage property and adjacent heritage resources are appropriately mitigated through the overall conservation strategy and the compatible, yet distinguishable, design of the new building. Heritage Planning staff are satisfied that the proposed alterations conserve the cultural heritage value and attributes of the property and are consistent with the applicable policy framework.

Summary from the report (April 27, 2026) 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 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act to alter the Part IV designated heritage property located at 150 College Street (Medical Sciences Building – 1 King’s College Circle), in connection with the rehabilitation of the University of Toronto’s Medical Sciences Building.

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 refuse the heritage permit application under Part IV, Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA) for alterations to the property at 50 Park Road. This application was made in connection with an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application for the properties at 38, 40 and 50 Park Road that has been appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The property at 50 Park Road was listed on the City's Heritage Register in 1986 and was designated in 1991 under Part IV, Section 29 of the Onterio Heritage Act as per By-law 0182-1991 and it is within the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The building was constructed in 1954 as the headquarters of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) by the Toronto firm of John B. Parkin with John C. Parkin as the project architect. It won critical acclaim as a \"landmark modern building\" in Toronto with its simple low form, clean lines, smooth surfaces and exposed steel. Its relationship to the surrounding landscape is also a noted aspect of the design which took advantage of the “park setting created by the southern extension of Rosedale Park.”

\r\n

 

\r\n

The development proposes the demolition of the buildings on the adjacent properties at 38 and 40 Park Road and the construction of a new 31-storey mixed-use building that retains and integrates with the heritage building at 50 Park Road. Permission is required under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the alterations to the heritage property associated with this new construction.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current proposal does not conform with the policies of the Official Plan and does not conserve the cultural heritage values and attributes of the Part IV designated property at 50 Park Road as a matter of provincial interest.

The development proposes the demolition of the buildings on the adjacent properties at 38 and 40 Park Road and the construction of a new 31-storey mixed-use building that retains and integrates with the heritage building at 50 Park Road. Permission is required under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act for the alterations to the heritage property associated with this new construction.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The current proposal does not conform with the policies of the Official Plan and does not conserve the cultural heritage values and attributes of the Part IV designated property at 50 Park Road as a matter of provincial interest.

This report recommends that City Council approve the demolition of a heritage attribute of the property at 170 Merton Street under Part IV, Section 34 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in connection with the proposed redevelopment of the site and grant authority to amend 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 connection 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 conservation strategy proposed through the redevelopment was previously approved by City Council through item TE27.13.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report seeks further approval for the demolition, reconstruction and extension of the original terrace, a heritage attribute of the property that was previously proposed to be conserved in situ. Staff is of the opinion that the revised proposal continues to conserve the heritage property and remains consistent with the policy framework.

Summary from the report (April 27, 2026) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This report recommends that City Council approve the alterations proposed for the designated heritage properties at 153 Eastern Avenue and 185 Eastern Avenue under Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, in connection with a proposed development of the subject property. The proposed development application for the subject site contemplates the construction of three new residential towers, including commercial and community space uses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The development site, 153, 169, 171, and 185 Eastern Avenue, known as the Dominion Wheel & Foundries Ltd. Complex, comprises two significant heritage properties at 153 Eastern Avenue (Cleaning Room building) and 185 Eastern Avenue (Machine Shop building). The two buildings are unique examples of the industrial complex typology in the West Don Lands neighbourhood that reflect the historical evolution of the area from its earliest use as a Government Reserve, followed by its use as an important industrial centre in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On May 16, 2023, City Council stated its intention to designate the properties at 153 Eastern Avenue and 185 Eastern Avenue under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, and on July 20, 2023, enacted Designation By-law No. 732-2023.

\r\n

\r\n

This report is a companion to a report entitled 'Oakwood Village Streets Plan', which documents the findings of the Oakwood Village Streets Plan study and recommended changes, for which authority has been delegated to Toronto and East York Community Council. The Streets Plan assessed existing conditions, engaged with the public and community organizations, and proposed appropriate changes to neighbourhood streets.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council approval is required for the following changes on Oakwood Avenue, a street where Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates a transit route: installation of a pedestrian signal, a minor change to existing on-street parking, and turn restrictions at the intersection of Earnscliffe Road to improve safety and visibility.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Other proposed changes, identified by the Streets Plan and coordinated with related projects such as the Vaughan Road Safety Improvement project and East-West Connections, are subject to future City Council approval, as they involve road safety changes along streets with TTC service and also include cycling infrastructure. These proposed changes are summarized in this report.

","agendaItemSummary":"

This staff report is about a matter that Toronto and East York Community Council does not have delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services is proposing changes to Ossington Avenue between Dundas Street West and Queen Street West, to bring vehicle lane widths to current standards, expand sidewalks and pedestrian space and provide full-time parking. The proposed changes would improve safety, comfort and operations for all street users.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Current vehicle lane widths on this section of Ossington Avenue are narrow and do not meet the minimum standards for safe passage of emergency vehicles, buses and motor vehicles. High rates of improper passing and sideswiping collisions have been observed. This section of Ossington Avenue is also one of the City’s most vibrant, pedestrian-dense commercial streets, yet many sections feature narrow and obstructed sidewalks and constrained pedestrian boulevards lacking amenities to support the high volumes of pedestrian activity. This mismatch between roadway design and corridor function presents a clear opportunity to reallocate space to better support safety for all road users and enhance the public realm.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2028, road resurfacing is planned on Ossington Avenue from Dundas Street West to Argyle Street, providing an opportunity to address the challenges along the corridor in a cost and time efficient manner. This report proposes removing peak hour parking restrictions along Ossington Avenue from Dundas Street West to Queen Street West, to allow full-time curbside parking. Curb lanes would be narrowed to accommodate a single, wider vehicle travel lane in each direction that meets minimum standards for emergency vehicle and bus operations. Dedicated left-turn lanes are proposed at Dundas Street West (northbound) and Queen Street West (southbound). Roadway improvements also include upgrades to TTC bus stops and merging areas to improve bus movement and reliability.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This section of Ossington Avenue has relatively low traffic volumes and can readily support conversion from a four-lane cross-section to a two-lane cross-section with left-turn lanes, with negligible impacts to travel times along the corridor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The design proposes lengthy sections of sidewalk extensions that would widen the pedestrian boulevard by 1.5-2.3 metres along 475 metres of the street, from Dundas Street West to Rebecca Street. There are seven sidewalk extensions proposed along the west side and eight sidewalk extensions proposed along the east side of Ossington Avenue. The expanded boulevard space would be enhanced with permeable concrete pavers, six new parkette spaces that include bioretention planters and space for seating, eight new waste receptables and new bicycle racks to provide 60 additional bicycle parking spaces. The proposal also includes four Commercial Loading Zones to accommodate business loading needs. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The extended sidewalks would result in a loss of 14 on-street parking spaces along Ossington Avenue from Rolyat Street to Rebecca Street. To offset this parking loss, Transportation Services and Toronto Parking Authority are exploring the possibility of a shared-use arrangement (outside of school hours) at the Toronto District School Board owned parking lot at 42 Givins Street. This could add up to 45 off-street parking spaces to the local supply that would be available evenings, weekends and during summer months, which are the peak visitor times in the area.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Costs associated with the proposed signage removal and re-installation are also included in the Transportation Services 2026 Operating Budget.

","agendaItemSummary":"

Transportation Services is requesting approval, on behalf of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support transit diversion routes associated with a sewer and streetcar track replacement project on College Street, between Bay Street and Yonge Street, and on Carlton Street, between Yonge Street and Church Street, scheduled to take place from July 26, 2026 (earliest start date of construction) to December 2026. Due to the nature of the construction and the resulting constraints within the right-of-way, regular streetcar operations will be suspended through the project area. As a result, the 506 Carlton streetcar will be diverted around the construction zone for the duration of the work, and a 506 Carlton replacement bus service will be implemented to supplement transit coverage.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed temporary TPMs recommended in this report are intended to improve the speed and reliability of TTC services operating along the diversion routes and to mitigate construction-related impacts on transit customers during the project period. The recommendations in this report provide the necessary by-law changes to ensure the diverted TTC routes can operate effectively. The operational changes include amending existing left-turn restrictions to exempt TTC vehicles. The TPMs include changes to curbside regulations, including increased duration of existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions and the implementation of new ‘No Parking’ restrictions. The proposed changes aim to mitigate the direct impact on the 30,000 customers travelling each day on the 506 Carlton streetcar, as well as the indirect impact on the 30,000 customers travelling each day on the 505 Dundas streetcar (based on Fall 2025 ridership).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The transit priority measures are focussed on Dundas Street East and Dundas Street West, between McCaul Street and Parliament Street, as this stretch has the highest streetcar frequency of the streets affected by the TTC diversion (i.e. 16 streetcars per hour in the PM peak).

\r\n

 

\r\n

To support streetcar and general traffic operations along the diverted transit routes, this report recommends the following temporary measures on Dundas Street East and Dundas Street West:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Extend existing ‘No Stopping’ restrictions to:

\r\n

- Apply daily from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m, seven days a week.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Implement new ‘No Parking’ restrictions to:

\r\n

- Apply during the morning and midday period (9:00/9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), seven days a week

\r\n

- Apply during the evening period (7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.), seven days a week.

\r\n

 

\r\n

- Introduce new turning prohibitions at selected intersections between McCaul Street and Parliament Street to reduce streetcar delay caused by turning vehicles.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed No Stopping, No Parking and turn restrictions are provided in detail in Table 5.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As TTC operates transit service on Dundas Street East, Dundas Street West, Bay Street, and Carlton Street, City Council approval of this report is required.

","financialImpactWep":"

There are no financial impacts resulting from the adoption of the recommendations of this report.

","agendaItemSummary":"

The City of Toronto is undertaking infrastructure work under Contract 23ECS-LU-04TT to replace the existing 900mm transmission watermain with a new 1200mm watermain on Rowanwood Avenue and surrounding streets. The work includes shaft construction, tunnelling operations and associated truck haul routes.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To safely accommodate construction activities including heavy equipment staging and truck movements, on-street parking restrictions are required on Rowanwood Avenue between Yonge Street and Thornwood Road, Cluny Drive between Pricefield Road and Rowanwood Avenue, Pricefield Road between Cluny Drive and Thornwood Road, and Thornwood Road between Pricefield Road and Chestnut Park, starting in June 2026 for approximately one year.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The launch shaft located at the intersection of Rowanwood Avenue and Thornwood Road will serve as a primary access point for tunnelling operations. This location requires continuous access for construction vehicles, including delivery of materials and removal of excavated soil. Maintaining clear curb lanes is necessary to ensure safe and efficient movement of trucks and equipment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These restrictions will temporarily displace existing permit parking holders. To mitigate impacts, Engineering and Construction Services has consulted with Transportation Services and is proposing temporary permit parking arrangements on nearby streets, including Mathersfield Drive and Chestnut Park.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In view of the above, authorization is required to temporarily amend parking by-laws to facilitate construction while maintaining reasonable parking access for affected residents.

The Ward Councillor has received numerous complaints that permit parking holders may park within the maximum 15-minute period short-term parking area designated for the High Park Early Learning Centre on the east side of High Park Avenue. This parking disrupts the daycare's afternoon pick-up activities. Transportation Services, in consultation with the Ward Councillor, recommends implementing a 15-miniute parking prohibition from 3:00 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., Monday to Friday, to clear these parked vehicles from the short-term parking area to support safer student pick-up activities.

\r\n

 

\r\n

During the investigation, Transportation Services discovered discrepancies between the by-lawed parking regulations and the posted signage on High Park Avenue. Recommendations 3 to 6 will rectify these inconsistencies.

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

This letter is to support the renaming of Tichester Park, located at 27 Tichester Road, to Hedy Bohm Park, in recognition of Hedy Bohm’s extraordinary life and enduring contributions to Holocaust education, community building, and anti-discrimination work across Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Born in Romania in 1926, Hedy immigrated to Toronto in 1949 after surviving the Holocaust, including imprisonment at Auschwitz. A resident of Tichester Road since 1992, she has deep roots in the local community and has inspired generations through her advocacy, education, and compassion.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Renaming Tichester Park in her honour would provide a meaningful and lasting tribute to Ms. Bohm’s contributions. It would also serve as a place of reflection and learning within the community, reinforcing the City of Toronto’s commitment to inclusivity, remembrance, and the recognition of individuals who have made significant contributions to the City.

A property naming application was submitted to Strategic Partnerships, accompanied by letters from individuals and organizations across Toronto, Canada, and internationally, demonstrating strong support for the proposed renaming.

Redpath Sugar Ltd. (\"Redpath\") operates a refining, processing, packaging, and storage of sugar and sugar-related products facility which, among other things includes the operation of an electrical co-generation system on the lands known municipally as 95 Queens Quay East (the \"Redpath Facility\").

\r\n

 

\r\n

There is a November, 2011 agreement (the \"November 2011 Minutes\") between the City, Redpath, and the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation (whose obligations have been assumed by the owner of 257 to 259 and 291 Lake Shore Boulevard East, 2 Small Street and 200 Queens Quay East (\"Quayside Blocks 1 and 2\"), which binds the parties to procedural and substantive obligations related to the assessment and mitigation of the Redpath Facility's environmental impacts on nearby sensitive uses.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The regulatory framework guiding the development of sensitive land uses in proximity to industrial uses has evolved since the November 2011 Minutes were executed.  More particularly: the provincial noise guidelines in effect at the time the Minutes were executed, \"Noise Assessment Criteria in Land Use Planning, Publication LU-131\" (\"LU-131\") and \"Sound Level Limits for Stationary Sources in Class 1 and 2 Areas (NPC-205)\" (\"NPC-205\") , have been replaced with \"Environmental Noise Guideline, Stationary and Transportation Sources - Approval and Planning (NPC-300)\" (\"NPC-300\"). In addition, Ontario Regulation 1/17 - Registrations Under Part II.2 of The Act - Activities Requiring Assessment of Air Emissions, was made pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act (\"O. Reg. 1/17\") in 2017, and \"Environmental Activity and Sector Registry - Limits and Other Requirements, version 3\" (the \"EASR Publication\") was released in 2021, and set out updated requirements related to odour emissions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City Solicitor requires instructions about potential modifications to the November 2011 Minutes. As the Quayside Blocks 1 and 2 development review process is ongoing, and the content of the November 2011 Minutes is relevant to the review, this matter is urgent and should not be deferred.

However, Mr. Samuel Grosz, President of the Property Owner, agreed to make the City whole if the City would provide emergency services to the displaced residents.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The City incurred significant costs in providing and facilitating the delivery of emergency human services (e.g., accommodation, clothing, food, access to medical aid, transportation).

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2020, the City commenced legal action against the Property Owner to recover the City's costs of providing emergency human services to the displaced residents of the Property from the Property Owner. The City has since resolved its claim with the Property Owner.

Following City Council direction to report back to June Council (Item - 2026.IE29.9), this report outlines the actions taken and planned to enhance the City’s approach to reporting, tracking, and communicating odour issues associated with the Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant, following an odour event in April 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Improvements include the introduction of a new service request through 311 for plant- or wastewater-related odour concerns to support consistent tracking, follow-up, and improved transparency for residents. A new communications strategy has been developed in partnership with Communications Division, which focuses on proactive community notification, supported by clearer trigger criteria and expanded outreach tools.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Water is also strengthening its internal incident escalation and notification processes to ensure more consistent application across operational events and more proactive notification for Councillors when issues arise. Planned capital investments, including primary tank refurbishments at Ashbridges Bay Treatment Plant and a future odour control facility on Coxwell Avenue, will further support the long-term mitigation of odour impacts in the surrounding community.

City Council request staff from the appropriate City Divisions, including Parks and Recreation, Economic Development and Culture, Heritage Planning, and Corporate Partnerships to work with the Guildwood Village Community Association and the Friends of Guild Park and Gardens to establish a planning committee to guide the development of centennial programming, events, and legacy initiatives.

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

Guild Park and Gardens is approaching its centennial year in 2032, representing a significant milestone in the history of the community. This anniversary presents an important opportunity to celebrate the cultural, historical, and natural heritage of the site, while fostering civic pride and community engagement.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As a unique cultural and historical landmark within the City of Toronto, the 2032 centennial provides an opportunity to honour this legacy while engaging residents, community organizations, and visitors in a forward-looking celebration. To ensure a coordinated and meaningful commemoration, early planning and collaboration between City of Toronto divisions and community stakeholders will be essential.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Guild Park and Gardens is a unique 88-acre historic site situated atop the Scarborough Bluffs in the Scarborough–Guildwood community. Originally established as a private country estate, the property evolved into an artist colony and later a popular country inn before being transformed into a public park. Today, it is widely recognized for its open-air collection of salvaged architectural elements from demolished Toronto and buildings across the Province. The site is also home to the Clark Centre for the Arts.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The site reflects a rich and varied history spanning several key periods:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- 1914 – The Bickford Estate: The central Arts and Crafts-style mansion was constructed by Colonel Harold C. Bickford.

\r\n


- 1932 – The Guild of All Arts: Rosa Breithaupt Hewetson and Spencer Clark acquired the property and established a rent-free cooperative community for artists, including painters, weavers, and craftspeople.

\r\n


- 1939–1945 – Wartime Contribution: During the Second World War, the Guild contributed to Canada’s war effort by supporting training and production activities, including the creation of handmade goods and materials in support of military needs, while continuing to provide space for artistic and craft-based work.

\r\n


- 1950s–1960s – Architectural Preservation Era: During a period of rapid post-war development in Toronto, many historic Victorian and Edwardian buildings were demolished. In response, the Clarks undertook significant preservation efforts, working with stonemasons to salvage and relocate architectural fragments from more than 60 buildings to the site.

\r\n


- 1978 to Present – Public Stewardship: The property was acquired by the Province of Ontario and Metropolitan Toronto and is now jointly managed by the City of Toronto and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The historic Guild Inn has since undergone restoration and currently operates as an event and banquet venue.
 

\r\n

Guild Park and Gardens feature several notable elements, including:

\r\n

 

\r\n

- The Greek Theatre, constructed from marble columns salvaged from the former 1912 Bank of Toronto building.

\r\n


- A collection of architectural fragments from significant heritage buildings, including the former Toronto Star building, the Granite Club, and the Temple Building; and

\r\n


- Extensive natural trails along the Scarborough Bluffs, offering scenic views of Lake Ontario.

First impressions matter. Toronto is a world-class city that sees millions of tourists from across the globe. As visitors explore all the great things our city has to offer – top attractions and excellent restaurants and shopping – it’s important that they’re welcomed into a city that is visibly clean and cared for.

\r\n

When the green spaces along our boulevards and main roads are overgrown, it distracts everyone from the beauty of our City.

Each year, demand for free and low-cost older adult recreation programs far exceeds available spots, leaving too many seniors feeling excluded from opportunities that are essential to their social, physical, and mental well-being.

As Toronto’s population continues to age, it’s crucial that the City take proactive measures to ensure there’s enough space to accommodate demand.

Councillor Stephen Holyday, seconded by Councillor Vincent Crisanti, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor to seek party status and to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing regarding 2 Blaketon Road (Application A0318/25EYK) with appropriate City Staff, to uphold the Committee of Adjustment’s decision to refuse the development proposed in Application A0318/25EYK.

\r\n

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to retain outside consultants as necessary.

\r\n

3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to negotiate a resolution regarding 2 Blaketon Road (Application A0318/25EYK) and authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City at their discretion after consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke District.

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

On May 28, 2026 the Committee of Adjustment refused Application A0318/25EYK respecting 2 Blaketon Road. The owner of the lands municipally known as 2 Blaketon Road, applied to the Committee requesting variances to construct a new townhouse building with eight back-to-back townhouse units. 2 Blaketon Road is a corner lot and half the proposed townhouses front onto Burnhamthorpe Road, a designated Major Street, whereas the other half front onto the side yard of the abutting lot on Blaketon Road.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Application requires variances to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 as well as City-wide By-law 608-2024 which implements OPA 727 respecting low-rise residential intensification on Major Streets. The required variances to City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013, include variances to the maximum permitted gross floor area of the lot, the maximum permitted floor space index, and the minimum required front yard setback. The required variances to City-wide By-law 608-2024, include variances to the maximum permitted lot coverage, the minimum required side yard setback, the minimum required dwelling unit width, and the minimum required lot frontage for a lot abutting a major street with townhouses not fronting directly onto a street.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In its memorandum dated January 16, 2026, Community Planning Staff concluded that the Application is consistent with the intent of the policies set out in OPA 727 respecting Major Streets.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In its most recent memorandums dated May 19 and 21, 2026, Urban Forestry Staff noted that the Application plans appear to impact trees protected under Municipal Code Chapter 813. However, Urban Forestry staff concluded that the impact to these trees is not directly related to the Application. Urban Forestry staff requested standard conditions regarding submission of a complete application to permit to injure trees Under Municipal Code Chapter 813 and advised that such an application may be denied.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In its most recent memorandum dated January 21, 2026, Transportation Review staff noted that they had no concerns with the proposed setbacks as the proposed townhouse garages provide sufficient space for vehicles to be parked on private property. Transportation Review staff recommended approval of the Application subject to conditions relating to a required road widening of Burnhamthorpe Road.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On April 15, 2026, Toronto Building issued a revised Zoning Certificate which identified a previously unreported variance concerning the lot frontage. As a result, the Committee deferred consideration to allow for additional notice to the public. No additional or revised staff report was issued by any Division in response to the newly identified variance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion will give the City Solicitor authority to attend before the Toronto Local Appeal Body, with appropriate City Staff, in support of the Committee’s decision to refuse the minor variance application. This Motion will also authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City, at the City Solicitor’s discretion, after consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Director of Community Planning, Etobicoke District.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the Applicant has appealed the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body and a hearing will be imminently scheduled. The City Solicitor requires instruction to obtain party status and subsequently attend the hearing.

1. City Council authorize the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to enter into a land exchange constituting approximately nine hectares with Donalda Club for lands located at the addresses municipally known as 12 Bushbury Drive, 1413 Don Mills Road and Don Valley Parkway W/S, on terms and conditions that are acceptable to the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor.

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

This motion seeks to provide City staff authority to transact on a land exchange with Donalda Club in order for the City to receive ravine land for a future East Don trail expansion and Donalda to have ownership of portions of their golf course currently leased from the City. The proposed terms include the City receiving new parkland in the Don Valley and securing post-closing obligations from Donalda to support future expansion of the East Don Trail. The proposed terms comply with Official Plan policies regarding City-owned parks and natural areas.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Donalda has operated a golf course and other facilities on land at 12 Bushbury Drive, 1413 Don Mills Road and Don Valley Parkway W/S since 1960. While Donalda owns most of the land required for golf operations, the course includes two parcels of City-owned parkland and one Toronto and Region Conservation Authority-owned parcel (under City management).  All three parcels are under lease from the City to Donalda. The current lease has been in effect since 1986 and expires in 2035. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

Donalda approached the City with a request to assess a proposed land exchange to provide greater certainty to members and support capital investment decisions, while meeting the City’s Official Plan requirements regarding parkland disposal (Policy 4.3.8).

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Official Plan permits the exchange of City-owned parkland for other nearby land of equivalent or larger area and comparable or superior green space utility. City staff have negotiated proposed terms of a land exchange with Donalda that satisfy the requirements of the Official Plan by delivering land to the City for the future East Don Trail extension and bringing additional natural areas into City ownership.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Under the proposed terms, the City would receive natural areas from Donalda that are not required for golf operations. This enables the City to close a current gap in the East Don Trail in the future, between the Charles Sauriol Conservation Area and the Betty Sutherland Trail, subject to funding approval through a capital budget submission. Addressing this gap supports the City’s delivery of the Loop Trail as well as connections to the Meadoway, Rouge Park and Lake Ontario. In exchange, Donalda would receive ownership of land required for golf course operations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Under the terms of the land exchange agreement, Donalda will receive two parcels of land from the City, reduced to exclude natural areas the City will retain and an existing local trail. The City will receive two new parcels of ravine land and additional easements to enable the trail. Easements for Toronto Water infrastructure will be maintained. A restrictive covenant will be placed on the lands given to Donalda to prevent any future redevelopment.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Post-closing obligations will also be secured to avoid any undue risk to the City related to future trail delivery. These include the City providing notice of trail project commencement to Donalda, which will trigger their participation in the detailed trail design process to develop solutions that balance trail safety and golf quality in areas adjacent to three golf holes. Donalda will implement the identified design solutions on their course and pay for required safety features on the trail. Donalda will also provide a construction license and insurance indemnities. The City will secure these future obligations through a collateral security agreement to be negotiated as part of the land exchange agreement. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

The proposed land exchange would result in ending the current lease between the City and Donalda. The City would forgo the remaining nine years of lease revenue for the period of the lease ending in 2035. Current annual rent is equal to $96,740 plus harmonized sales tax and is indexed annually for inflation. This impact is offset by the City receiving additional land area through the exchange plus securing post-closing obligations from Donalda to pay the cost of infrastructure required for future trail delivery. 

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion also seeks authority for the City to enter into agreements with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority for the acquisition of lands in fee simple as well as easement acquisitions and dispositions, for nominal consideration. Transaction costs are expected to be minimal and will be funded through approved funding in Parks and Recreation’s 10-year Capital Plan, drawing from City-Wide Section 42 Parkland Acquisition Reserves.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As part of the land exchange framework, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Donalda are negotiating a separate transaction at fair market value for Donalda to purchase the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority lands west of the river, where the golf course is located (currently managed by and leased from the City). This transaction is proposed to occur concurrently with other City and Donalda transactions but is subject to approval by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority Board.

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

1. City Council amend the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Parks and Recreation by creating a new capital sub-project known as the West Lansing Participatory Budgeting Park Improvements project, with a total project cost of $500,000 gross and $0 debt, with cash flow of $250,000 gross and $0 debt in 2026 and $250,000 gross and $0 debt in 2027, fully funded by Section 37 community benefits obtained from the development at 4841 to 4881 Yonge Street, 2 and 50 Sheppard Avenue East, and 2, 4 and 6 Forest Laneway, secured for parkland acquisition and improvements (Source Account: XR3026-3700868), for the purpose of undertaking participatory budgeting park improvements in the West Lansing neighbourhood.

This Motion recommends amending the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Parks and Recreation to establish the required capital sub-projects and authorize the use of Section 37 community benefits so that the locally supported improvements at Franklin Park, Gwendolen Park, Glendora Park, and Avondale Park may proceed.

1. City Council increase the 2026 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one-time basis by $11,499.28 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 funds obtained from the development at 1088 Progress Avenue (Source Account: XR3026-3700651), as authorized by By-law 1146-2025, to facilitate the construction and implementation of the Asian Garden at Cynthia Lai Park (Cost Centre: NP2161).
 

\r\n

2. City Council direct that the $11,499.28 be forwarded to the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto upon the signing of an undertaking by the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Toronto that governs the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.

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

The Asian Garden at Cynthia Lai Park is a significant community-led project designed to provide an inclusive public space that reflects the diversity of the Scarborough community.
 

\r\n

In October 2025, City Council enacted By-law 1146-2025, which amended the zoning for 1088 Progress Avenue. This by-law provides the authority to redirect previously secured Section 37 cash contributions in instances where the funds have not been used for their original intended purpose within three years of the enactment of the original zoning by-law.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The amending by-law specifies that such funds may be redirected at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director of City Planning, in consultation with the local Councillor, provided the new purpose is identified in the Toronto Official Plan and benefits the community in the vicinity of the subject lands.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As these specific funds have remained unused for more than three years, they are eligible for reallocation. The development site at 1088 Progress Avenue is located directly across the street from Cynthia Lai Park. Allocating these funds to the Asian Garden project directly serves the local community in the immediate vicinity of the original development and aligns with the goals of the Toronto Official Plan to foster vibrant, well-maintained public realms. This motion seeks to authorize the release of $11,499.28 in eligible Section 37 funds to support the construction and implementation of the garden.

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor Chris Moise, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to provide a stable, long-term funding commitment for Toronto Public Health that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. incorporates an annual cost of living adjustment equivalent to the annual average Ontario Consumer Price Index;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. considers the complexity of Toronto’s population health needs and the ratio of public health staff to the population compared to other municipalities;

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. reflects increasing service demands from provincially mandated required activities; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

d. considers negotiated wages that are commensurate with wages in other municipal public health offices in Ontario.

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

Most programs and services delivered by Toronto Public Health are mandatory programs required by the Ontario Public Health Standards and are funded by the provincial government (cost-shared or 100 per cent funded). As part of Strengthening Public Health, there had been a three-year commitment for modest annual funding increases of approximately 1 per cent per year for 2024/25, to 2026/27. This is effectively a cut in public health budgets considering obligations in meeting inflationary pressures and increasing service demands from required activities, amounting to increasing cost pressures for Toronto Public Health and the City of Toronto as the obligated municipality.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Inflationary pressures and cost of living increases continue to be one of the key drivers attributing to year-over-year increases to Toronto Public Health’s annual budget. In particular, the recently ratified Local 79 agreement, which includes Toronto Public Health staff, results in a cumulative 16.4 per cent increase in salaries and benefits over four years. Public Health Nurses will see an even greater increase of 17.9 per cent to their base salary rate. These increases represent significant cost pressure along with other inflationary impact on service delivery.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Provincial public health funding that is adjusted for inflation will help to ensure that Toronto Public Health is able to deliver mandatory provincial programs and respond to the growing population and health needs in Toronto. There are currently no provincial commitments for public health funding for 2027/28 and beyond. A stable, long-term provincial funding commitment that acknowledges annual inflationary pressures is needed so Toronto Public Health can plan and deliver core public health programs and services without disruption and meet the demands of a growing city.

Councillor Alejandra Bravo, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council exempt the implementation of permit parking on Old Weston Road between Davenport Road and St. Clair Avenue West, from the requirements of subsection 925-4B of City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 925, Permit Parking, until such time as Toronto and East York Community Council considers a request for implementation of permit parking at that location.

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

Residents on Old Weston Road, between Davenport Road and St. Clair Avenue West, have historically parked in front of their homes overnight and outside existing rush-hour restrictions. However, this segment of Old Weston Road is currently not located within a designated permit parking zone and is therefore subject to the unsigned three-hour parking limit for visitors.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recently, a number of residents on this section of Old Weston Road received overnight parking tickets, resulting in significant concern and frustration within the community. Residents are requesting this section of the street be added to permit parking area 3D, noting that nearby streets are already included. Many households on this section do not have access to private parking, and many already hold valid 3D permits.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The local councillor’s office, in coordination with local residents, is conducting a neighbourhood survey to confirm support for including this section of Old Weston Road in permit parking area 3D. This process will expedite consultation with affected residents and ensure all feedback is considered. An exemption to the permit parking bylaws requiring City-managed polling will enable future direction at the July meeting of Toronto and East York Community if residents are supportive of a change.

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

Rogers Stadium is an open air music venue that sits on the north end of the old Downsview Airport runway.  It opened in June 2025 and was built by way of temporary zoning permissions. The venue attracted about 700,000 visitors in 2025 and is expected to attract over 1 million visitors in 2026. The economic benefit to the City includes the hiring of over 1,000 part time employees, procurement and economic activity to local businesses, music grants and scholarships to local schools and benefits to Toronto’s tourism industry.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The stadium aligns with provincial live music polices and guidelines which can be found at https://www.ontario.ca/document/vision-ontarios-live-music-industry/local-music-scenes and the City of Toronto Live Music Strategy https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/90a2-2022-2026EDCBrandedMusic-StrategyC5-test.pdf

\r\n

 

\r\n

Despite these advantages, many residents in York Centre, Willowdale and the City of Vaughan have raised serious concerns about the noise levels on concert nights. While noise can be a factor of wind direction, velocity and cloud cover, it is also a factor of amplification and bass driven musical scores. Capital improvements and operational measures at the stadium should be explored.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The operator of the stadium, Live Nation, affixed soundproof cladding on the stadium at the start of this concert season. While some have noticed an improvement, others have not.

\r\n

Adding to the frustration of local residents there is also a lack of a City of Toronto integrated and consistent response framework. 311 operations and municipal licensing are providing contradictory information to residents about the noise by-law and the action that can be taken.  This includes the City of Toronto noise by-laws and exemption policies as well as enforcement at the source of the sound.

Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Mayor Olivia Chow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the City Manager, in collaboration with the Toronto Police Service and Toronto Police Service Board, to identify an opportunity to commemorate an asset in honour of the late Constable Marc Pinizzotto and that such review include:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. engagement with the Pinizzotto family and Toronto Police Association; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. a report back to the appropriate body by December 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request the Toronto Police Service Board to establish a process for commemorating officers killed in the line of duty.

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

Constable Marc Pinizzotto was a dedicated member of the Toronto Police Service for 18 years and served with distinction as a member of the Emergency Task Force, one of the Service’s most highly specialized units. Throughout his career, Constable Pinizzotto demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public safety, protecting Toronto residents and supporting his fellow officers in some of the city’s most challenging and high-risk situations. He was also a devoted husband, father, son, coach, and mentor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On June 11, 2026, Constable Pinizzotto was tragically killed in the line of duty while executing a search warrant as part of a major investigation into a series of shootings in Toronto. His death has sent shockwaves throughout Toronto and across the policing community, prompting an outpouring of grief and tributes from residents, elected officials, community leaders and police services across Canada.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Constable Pinizzotto’s service and sacrifice are a powerful reminder of the risks undertaken each day by the women and men who serve in law enforcement. His loss is deeply felt by his family, friends, colleagues and the communities he spent nearly two decades protecting.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As Toronto mourns the loss of Constable Pinizzotto, it is fitting that the City take steps to commemorate his life, honour his service, and ensure that future generations remember his dedication, courage and commitment to the people of Toronto.

Toronto is home to over 3.2 million people and is often referred to as one of the most multicultural cities in the world. As Toronto continues to grow, so do the diverse communities that contribute to the culture of our City. Today, our City is composed of a wide range of religious affiliations.

As communities across the City grow, religious celebrations have become important community landmarks to gather and come together. However, despite these times intended to be opportunities of building community and celebration, faith communities have expressed experiencing challenges in their places of worship such as facing limited access to space, permit expansion, parking permits, safety, and transportation. We need to ensure that there is clarity on the City’s process to secure and permit out City spaces.

Councillor Vincent Crisanti, seconded by Councillor Frances Nunziata, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, as part of the ongoing comprehensive review of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 694, Signs, General (the “Sign By-law”), undertake a review of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 771, Taxation, Third Party Sign Tax (the “Third Party Sign Tax”), including:

\r\n

2. City Council request the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building to report to the Planning and Housing Committee with any recommendations to the Third Party Sign Tax, concurrent with the report on the Sign By-law in 2027.

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

Third-party advertising has evolved significantly since the City of Toronto introduced its Sign By-law (Chapter 694) and the Third-Party Sign Tax (Chapter 771) in 2010. As the City works to modernize its approach to governing signs, there is an opportunity to ensure that our revenue tools are keeping pace with updated regulations and reflect changes in the sign industry, and the city as a whole.

\r\n

 

\r\n

At present, the City’s ongoing review of the Sign By-law does not include an examination of whether the Third Party Sign Tax remains effective, efficient, and aligned with today’s sign landscape,  particularly as it relates to changes in sign types, new technologies, and how third-party advertising is provided across the City, creating a gap in our overall approach.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Including a review of the Third-Party Sign Tax as part of the broader Sign By-law update would support a more complete and coordinated analysis. It also creates efficiencies by engaging affected parties through a single, integrated process. This approach would help identify opportunities to improve how the tax functions, both in terms of supporting City revenues and ensuring it is fair, transparent, and workable for businesses seeking to take advantage of advertising opportunities throughout the City.

Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, seconded by Councillor Gord Perks, recommends that:

\r\n

1. City Council increase the 2026 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one-time basis by $55,000.00 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 45 community benefits obtained in the development at 125 Western Battery Road (Source Account: XR3028-4500012), secured for community benefits, for the purpose of forwarding funds to STEPS (Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Space) Public Art for installation of murals on 12 utility boxes and 2 picnic benches in the Liberty Village neighbourhood (Cost Centre: NP2161).

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council direct that the $55,000.00 be forwarded to STEPS (Sustainable Thinking and Expression on Public Space) Public Art, subject to STEPS Public Art signing an Undertaking governing the use of the funds and the financial reporting requirements.

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

Since 2025, considerable public engagement has occurred in the Liberty Village neighbourhood around Liberty for All, a once in a generation neighbourhood planning study, led by City Planning. The FIFA World Cup has also arrived at the doorstep of this vibrant neighbourhood.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through both of these processes, opportunities have been sought out to deliver legacy improvements to this community to make it a more vibrant and welcoming place for visitors and neighbours alike. Some utility boxes have been painted in the Liberty Village neighbourhood and surrounding area, through the Street Art program in advance of the FIFA World Cup.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In early 2026, engagement with the Box Murals Program and a local neighbourhood artist commenced, with a proposal for further utility box painting in Liberty Village, specifically on Bell boxes. Unfortunately, this organization went on hiatus as conversations continued.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Subsequent venues for commissioning of public art on utility boxes and on picnic benches in Liberty Village Park were explored through multiple partners including the City’s Street Art team, the Liberty Village BIA, who lacked capacity to complete the work in the 2026 season, as well as STEPS Public Art.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion seeks to confirm and secure STEPS Public Art as the lead organization for leading artist calls to beautify the local community through public art on Bell utility boxes and prominent picnic benches in Liberty Village Park, to be completed in Fall 2026.

2. City Council direct that the location of the plaque will be determined in consultation with Cabbagetown Group Softball League to be either McCleary Park or Riverdale Park East.

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

For more than 50 years, the Cabbagetown Group Softball League has been providing a safe place for queer and trans people to play softball and build community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Cabbagetown Group Softball League began in 1975 when a group of gay friends decided to play pickup softball each Sunday. In that first year they played wherever they could find an empty field and they did not think of themselves as a formal league.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 1976 they picked their first home of Riverdale Park East, and their numbers began to grow. In 1977 they became a formal league and chose a name based on the neighborhood where many of the original members lived: Cabbagetown. Their current home is McCleary Park.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In August 1977, the Cabbagetown Group Softball League played the first international queer softball game against a team in New York City. In 1979, the Cabbagetown Group Softball League was a founding member of the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance, now called International Pride Softball. In 1981 and 2000, the Cabbagetown Group Softball League hosted the Gay Softball World Series.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These friends were seeking a safe place to engage in a friendly, competitive sport and to build bonds of 2SLGBTQ solidarity during an era of overt discrimination. The league soon meant more and went on to become a pillar of the queer community in Toronto. Cabbagetown Group Softball League’s impact should be formally recognized by the city with a plaque that will recognize their history as part of the 2SLGBTQ community in Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion seeks authorization to amend the 2026 Operating Budget of Heritage Toronto to fund the creation and installation of a plaque commemorating the history of the Cabbagetown Group Softball League in Toronto. Heritage Toronto estimates the entire project to cost $10,000.00.

Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, seconded by Mayor Olivia Chow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to negotiate and sign on behalf of the City a nominal fee licence agreement with Jumblies Theatre, a registered charity, and Elder Dr. Duke Redbird to facilitate Indigenous cultural activities at Toronto Island Park, for a term from June 1, 2026, to October 9, 2026, renewable for additional two similar seasons at the sole discretion of, and on terms and conditions acceptable to, the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, and subject to the licence referenced in Recommendation 2.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council authorize the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to provide consent to Toronto Island Marina to grant a licence for the use of the Blockhouse Bay docking wall by Jumblies Theatre, a registered charity, and Elder Dr. Duke Redbird for a term from June 1, 2026, to October 9, 2026, renewable for additional two similar seasons, if the licence at Toronto Island Park is renewed at the sole discretion of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation.

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

In 2023, authorized by City Council decision 2023.IE3.2, the General Manager of Parks and Recreation executed a Nominal Fee Licence Agreement with Elder Dr. Redbird, in collaboration with Jumblies Theatre, a Toronto-based non-profit arts group and registered charity, to use approximately 3,000 square feet of park space in Toronto Island Park, near the dock wall along the west side of Blockhouse Bay, for Indigenous cultural programming. Activities included, but were not limited to, knowledge sharing, story-telling, performances, artistic events, public \"ask an Elder\" drop-in programming intended to spread Indigenous knowledge in the larger population, and school tours intended to spread Indigenous knowledge among students. They erected a teepee as they have in other locations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For logistical support and to create a visual attraction, the program was supported by the Wigwam Chi-Chemung, Elder Dr. Redbird's floating art installation, studio, office, and Indigenous interpretive learning centre. It tells the story of Indigenous presence on Toronto's waterfront. The forty-foot pontoon boat has been covered with artwork by Elder Dr. Redbird and Philip Cote, a noted painter and muralist from Moose Deer Point First Nation. The Wigwam Chi-Chemung has appeared at public locations in Toronto such as Ontario Place and the Luminato Festival Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2023 agreement has expired after a successful three-year seasonal presence by Elder Dr. Redbird at Toronto Island Park. The recommendations in this motion would extend the licence for up to an additional three seasons, beginning this June.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As in the previous three seasons, the Wigwam Chi-Chemung would be moored to the dock wall under a separate agreement with the Toronto Island Marina, which manages the dock wall under an agreement with the City. The marina's agreement with the City requires the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to provide consent for this special longer-duration use of the dock wall.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recognizing the importance of Indigenous place-keeping and cultural programming, this motion seeks to continue building the City’s ongoing partnerships with Indigenous groups to enhance the park’s role as a site for Indigenous-led programming. This motion aligns with the City’s ongoing commitments to equity, cultural recognition, and environmental sustainability, ensuring that Toronto Island Park continues to serve as a vibrant and inclusive space for all residents in alignment with the aims of the Toronto Island Park Plan.

Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to consider the addition of provisions in the Ontario Building Code addressing development on sites where municipalities have initiated legal action on matters material to the legal condition of the land and are seeking remediation of the land to its previous condition, so as not to fetter the court through the issuance of building permits prior to the conclusion of legal proceedings, as part of the Province's line-by-line review of the Ontario Building Code.

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

Across Toronto, there have been numerous instances in which illegal actions are undertaken on a site to clear obstacles for new construction, which may range from damage or destruction of heritage elements to the removal of protected trees without permission. In such instances, the City undertakes litigation to rectify the issue. There are a range of options available to Courts presiding on such matters if an offense is proven – including directing the restoration of the site to its previous legal condition.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Unfortunately, there is a disconnect between this process and the one by which Toronto Building issues building permits. Toronto Building operates in accordance with the Ontario Building Code, which requires the issuance of permits for development proposals provided there has not been a violation of applicable law on the site – a category which does not include a range of illegal activities that may clear the way for development. In practice, this means that Toronto Building must issue permits on certain sites where the City is in active litigation, and where the result of that litigation may be the restoration of the property to its original state.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This is a significant concern, as by issuing permits to allow development to go forward on sites whose legal status is in question, the City is tacitly accepting the condition of the land and precluding the Court’s potential decision to restore it to its previous condition.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the Province moves forward with its line-by-line review, this is a process conflict that warrants consideration. On sites where the City has initiated litigation, and where restoration of the land to its previous condition is being sought, there should be a process in place for the City to effectively freeze the development process until a final decision has been rendered by the Court.

Rabbi Arthur Bielfeld served as Rabbi and Rabbi Emeritus of Temple Emanu-El for 58 years, and was well established as a community leader for his work in the City of Toronto.

\r\n

1. City Council direct the Executive Director, Development Review to bring forward a City-initiated amendment to By-laws 1285-2022 (OLT) and 1286-2022 (OLT) to amend the terms of the Section 37 benefits, specifically the removal of the required cash contribution for the increase in density, in an effort to preserve the construction of a fully built-out daycare and recognize the over-dedication of parkland.

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

In 2022, City Council approved the redevelopment of 5800 Yonge Street through By-laws 1285-2022 (OLT) and 1286-2022 (OLT). As part of the approval, the owner was required to provide a new child care facility and deliver associated community benefits secured through a Section 37 agreement. This agreement includes also and over dedication of parkland for 4,291.6 square meters.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Since the approval of the development, the provincial land use planning and development framework has undergone significant reform through the More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23). Bill 23 significantly restructured municipal tools for securing community benefits by limiting the scope of Section 37 density bonusing and introducing a capped Community Benefits Charge system. These changes have materially reduced the City’s ability to secure community benefit if the developers choose to bring forward their application again.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Within this evolving legislative and financial context, the owner has continued discussions with City staff regarding the implementation and delivery of the required child care facility. The owner has now proposed a revised framework that maintains the obligation to deliver a fully fitted out stand-alone child care facility, along with associated furnishings and equipment contributions, and $500,000 Child Care Facility Capital Contribution.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Importantly, the continued requirement for a stand-alone child care facility represents a significant and meaningful community benefit outcome. Given current market and policy conditions, including the limitations introduced by Bill 23 and the City’s constrained ability to secure equivalent child care capital contributions through alternative mechanisms, the delivery of a purpose-built facility of this scale would be extremely difficult to achieve through any other planning or funding pathway. In this regard, securing the delivery of this facility represents a clear success in advancing critical community infrastructure.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This outcome is particularly significant given that Willowdale is identified as a “red zone” on Toronto Children’s Services Priority Levels for CWELCC expansion, indicating high unmet demand for licensed child care spaces and limited existing capacity relative to need.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The revised proposal provides for a direct capital investment by the owner in the construction of the child care facility. This approach aligns with the current legislative environment, and ensures the continued delivery of a high-priority community service in an area of demonstrated need along with the over dedication of the parkland.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Given the increased construction costs associated with delivering the child care facility, the strong public policy imperative to secure new licensed spaces in high-need areas such as Willowdale, and the legislative changes introduced by Bill 23 that have constrained alternative funding tools, it is appropriate to amend the existing Section 37 requirements to remove the separate cash contribution obligation while maintaining and strengthening the obligation to deliver the stand-alone child care facility and its associated benefits.

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

In November 2011, Toronto and East York Community Council directed City Planning staff to initiate a planning study to develop guiding principles for the revitalization and redevelopment of the Scadding Court Community Centre, including the Sanderson Branch of the Toronto Public Library.

In November 2012, City Council endorsed the Redevelopment and Revitalization Principles. In the years that followed, City Council directed staff to establish an interdivisional working group and explore redevelopment and revitalization scenarios for the site.

In April 2025, City Council adopted an Official Plan Amendment redesignating the lands from Parks to Mixed Use Areas.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Scadding Court Community Centre is one of the ten community centres within the Association of Community Centres in the City of Toronto. The centre provides a wide range of services and programs, including social recreation and wellness; support for children, youth and families; an EarlyON Centre; food security and urban agriculture; social enterprise and entrepreneurship opportunities; anti-racism and community-building; supports for people living with disabilities; programming for seniors; and newcomer services. The facility also includes a Toronto District School Board alternative school (Oasis Skateboard Factory), the Sanderson Branch of the Toronto Public Library, and an indoor pool programmed by Parks and Recreation and Toronto District School Board.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Scadding Court Community Centre, including Sanderson Branch of the Toronto Public Library, is a vital community asset that serves residents of all ages and backgrounds. However, the facility requires significant reinvestment to meet state-of-good-repair obligations and continue meeting the community's evolving needs, including housing, for years to come.

1. City Council request the City Manager, in consultation with the Moscoe family and local stakeholders, to report directly to the July 29, 30, and 31, 2026, meeting of City Council with recommendations on options to commemorate former City Councillor and Toronto Transit Commission Chair Howard Moscoe and his contributions to the City of Toronto, including consideration of a commemorative naming.

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

Howard Moscoe served as an elected member of Toronto, Metro and North York Councils for 32 years, serving on Toronto City Council for four consecutive terms from 1998 to 2010. He represented North York Spadina from 1998 to 2000, and Eglinton Lawrence from 2000 to 2010.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Prior to amalgamation, he was elected to the North York City Council – first as an Alderman from 1978 to 1985 and later as a City Controller from 1985 to 1988 – during which time he also served on on Metro Toronto Council. Later, he was elected as a Metro Toronto Councillor from 1988 to 1997 representing North York Spadina.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While a Member of Toronto City Council, he served as Commissioner, Vice Chair, and Chair of the Toronto Transit Commission over his 14 years service on the Commission. He served on the Toronto Transit Commission Board from 1992 to 2006, and was Chair from 1998 to 2000 and from 2003 to 2006.

\r\n

 

\r\n

His working life started as a high school art teacher in the former North York where he became President of the North York Teachers’ Federation and a governor of the Ontario Teachers’ Federation. His art background later fed a very successful election sign business. As a member of the New Democratic Party, he ran three times to become the Member of Provincial Parliament in the riding of Wilson Heights.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Mr. Moscoe had many achievements throughout his political career. Highlights include promoting a municipal housing corporation in North York to support rent geared to income housing, being an early supporter of 2SLGBTQ+ issues in the early 1990s when the community sought ad space on Toronto Transit Commission vehicles, and immense contributions at the Toronto Transit Commission.

\r\n

  

\r\n

During his first term as Chair of the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Transit Commission broke ground on the new Queens Quay streetcar line that connects Union Station with Exhibition Place, began construction on the Sheppard subway, and started to build the Transit Control Centre at Hillcrest Complex.

\r\n


In his second term as Chair, Moscoe helped steer the Toronto Transit Commission through the SARS crisis and the 2003 electricity blackout and the Toronto Transit Commission introduced it’s 2003 Ridership Growth Strategy—a guiding document for transit investment in the decade that followed, which saw the system grow ridership to more than half a billion riders annually.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Howard Moscoe’s contributions to the City of Toronto are worthy of recognition. As such, this motion gives direction to the City Manager to identify opportunities for Mr. Moscoe to be commemorated by the City.

1. City Council request Metrolinx to work with the Toronto Transit Commission to develop a public art program similar to the existing TTC Public Art Program, to promote the beautification of Metrolinx-owned stations along Line 5, Line 6 and the Ontario Line, as well as any future stations.

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

Public art provides immense value to our City, creating engaging and beautiful public spaces and encouraging respect and stewardship of those spaces. The Toronto Transit Commission operates a public art program through which art juries, local representatives and members of the public play a role in selecting art installations featured in Toronto Transit Commission stations across our transit network. The program enhances the experience of transit users and has successfully reduced vandalism in stations where art has been installed.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As of now, there is no comparable program in place for new stations along Lines 5 and 6, which are owned by Metrolinx. Establishing a program similar to the existing Toronto Transit Commission program would bring our new transit lines, as well as the Ontario Line and other future projects, into alignment with the rest of our network and provide opportunities for community engagement and beautification of the public realm for the benefit of transit users.

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

The parks and green spaces in Ward 3, both bordering the lake and within our neighbourhoods, are central to why residents choose to live and raise their families in Etobicoke-Lakeshore. They provide spaces to play, meet with neighbours and seek relief from the summer heat.

Safety and accessibility are necessary to maintain green spaces that are welcoming to all visitors. With the warmer weather and increased usage, residents have shared concerns about more illegal bonfires and dogs off-leash outside of dogs off-leash areas.

Recently, Credit Valley Conservation opened the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area in Mississauga, bordering Marie Curtis Park in Ward 3.

City Council request the Mayor, as part of the 2027 Budget process, to allocate 100 percent of the Community Benefits Charges funds collected from the development at 2810 to 2816 Bayview Avenue to park improvements for Sheppard East Park at 229 Glendora Avenue, in consultation with the local community and the local Councillor, through the annual budget process immediately following the payment of the funds to the City.

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

Sheppard East Park at 229 Glendora Avenue is an important local community park serving residents in the surrounding neighbourhood, including a growing population living in nearby residential developments. A proposed development at 2810 to 2816 Bayview Avenue is anticipated to contribute additional residential density and increased demand for parkland, recreational space, and community amenities in the area.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As part of the development approval process, the City will collect Community Benefits Charges associated with the project. Given the direct relationship between the development and the anticipated increase in park usage, it is appropriate that the Community Benefits Charges funding generated through the project be allocated toward improvements at Sheppard East Park.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Investing these funds into Sheppard East Park would help support neighbourhood growth, enhance the park’s capacity to serve a larger number of residents, and ensure that local community infrastructure keeps pace with intensification in the area. Improvements may include upgrades to park amenities, accessibility features, landscaping, pathways, seating, playground, and other enhancements identified through the Parks planning and budget process in consultation with the local Councillor.

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor Josh Matlow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Environment, Climate and Forestry, the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards, and the City Solicitor, to report back to the Executive Committee in the second quarter of 2027 on options to assign maintenance responsibility and establish enforceable maintenance standards for on-street planters and boulevard tree pits, including amendments to the Toronto Municipal Code and other mechanisms, as appropriate.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Environment, Climate and Forestry, to confirm budget availability and implement interim actions in 2026 within available resources and provide an update to the councillor in July 2026, and identify funding requirements for a longer-term solution to be included in the 2027 budget submission pending the implementation of Transform Yonge, including:

\r\n


a. the removal of material preventing replanting;

b. interim planting of vacant planters where feasible, pending an assessment of available maintenance capacity or implementation of community-led maintenance agreements;

c. consideration of removing or consolidating planters that are no longer functional or that are redundant due to their proximity to other planters; and

d. coordination with other City landscaping initiatives to improve the overall appearance of the corridor.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the Executive Director, Environment, Climate and Forestry, to prepare an inventory of public realm planters along the Yonge Street corridor, identifying ownership, maintenance responsibility, applicable agreements, current condition, and identifying locations where responsibility is unclear or unenforceable, and report back to the Executive Committee in the second quarter of 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, to review opportunities for interim beautification measures prior to the commencement of Transform Yonge, including temporary plantings or other enhancements that could be relocated or repurposed during construction, pending an assessment of available maintenance capacity and provide an update to the councillor in July 2026.

\r\n

 

\r\n

5. City Council request the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to report back to the Executive Committee in the second quarter of 2027 on partnership models and funding opportunities that could support public realm stewardship on major commercial corridors.

\r\n

 

\r\n

6. City Council direct the City Manager to convene a cross-divisional working group consisting of Transportation Services, Urban Forestry, City Planning, Toronto Building, Economic Development and Culture, Municipal Licensing and Standards and other relevant divisions to develop a long-term governance framework for public realm planters and landscape features installed through development approvals, including recommendations respecting ownership, maintenance and funding and report back to the Executive Committee in the second quarter of 2027.

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

Yonge Street through North York Centre is an important civic, commercial and cultural corridor in Toronto. It is the largest concentration of office space outside the downtown core, home to major civic destinations including Mel Lastman Square and the North York Civic Centre, and serves as the front door to thousands of residents, businesses, workers and visitors every day. It is also a key destination for festivals, community events and economic activity in the heart of North York.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Despite its significance, many public realm planters along the corridor have fallen into disrepair. Vacant tree pits, overgrown weeds, accumulated root balls and litter create an appearance of neglect that undermines the City's investment in the area and detracts from the vitality of one of Toronto’s flagship urban centres. This can undermine the efforts of office building owners who are still trying to bring tenancies back to pre-pandemic levels. At the same time, uncertainty regarding maintenance responsibilities and enforcement mechanisms has made it difficult to ensure these public realm features are properly maintained.

\r\n

 

\r\n

With Transform Yonge still years away, there is an urgent need to improve the corridor in the interim while establishing a clear governance framework that ensures future public realm investments remain attractive, well maintained and accountable over the long term.

Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin, seconded by Mayor Olivia Chow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation and the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to develop and implement a plan to enhance the upkeep of the Peace Garden, such plan to include:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. repair and maintenance of the space, and the existing plaques and signage on the site, and

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. improved wayfinding directing visitors to the Peace Garden.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management in consultation with the General Manager, Parks and Recreation and relevant divisions, to undertake public and stakeholder consultation to develop a plan to revitalize the Peace Garden and increase public awareness about its historical significance, purpose and meaning through actions including, but not limited to, physical improvements to the garden and integration with surrounding public spaces including the Spirit Garden, such consultation to include outreach to Indigenous communities, community leaders and faith leaders, and report back to City Council with a recommended approach by the second quarter of 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council request the Chief Communications Officer and the City Clerk to review and update the description of the Peace Garden on the City of Toronto’s website to include more information on its historical significance and meaning.

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council request the City Clerk to incorporate the Peace Garden into civic education programming and tours of City Hall.

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

Toronto’s Peace Garden was originally established in 1984, as a physical expression of the City’s commitment to peace, and opposition to nuclear warfare. The symbolism of the garden is informed by the context of its creation at the height of the Cold War. The garden’s gazebo represents community and civilization, the vulnerability of which is manifested in its incomplete roof. Central to the garden is the eternal flame, kindled in Hiroshima, which is surrounded by waters from Nagasaki – serving as a memorial, and a message to future generations about the need for ongoing work and commitment to build and maintain peace among each other, and across the world.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The creation of this space was highly consequential. Then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau attended the site on March 5th, 1984, to turn the first sod on the project on the City’s 150th anniversary. The eternal flame was lit later that year by Pope John Paul II, who also poured waters from Nagasaki into the garden’s pool. Queen Elizabeth II visited the site in October 1984 to formally dedicate the Peace Garden as an expression of Torontonian’s commitment to peace.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Today, more than 40 years later, the message of the Peace Garden resonates as strongly as at the time of its creation. As conflicts around the world drive increasing hate and division in our own City, it is imperative that Toronto renew its commitment to lasting peace at home and abroad.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While our commitment to its principles remains strong, engaged community members and advocates for peace have raised concerns about the present condition of Peace Garden. In 2010, the garden was moved from its previous location at the heart of Nathan Phillips Square to its present location at the west side of the square. Concerns have been raised about the maintenance of the site, and about the lack of public awareness about the garden and its message. There is a consensus that its current state does not reflect the importance of its message and meaning to our City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Improving the maintenance of the garden and establishing a plan for its future at Nathan Phillips Square is one way for the City to advance and renew its commitment to peace.

Councillor Josh Matlow, seconded by Councillor Chris Moise, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, the Toronto Police Services, Toronto Paramedic Services, and Toronto Fire, to create a Pedestrian Streets Program and implementation plan that identifies the process for identifying candidate streets, the criteria for selecting them, and the approach for planning and implementing pedestrian street projects, and to:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. incorporate findings and lessons from the Church Street pedestrianization pilot and the Toronto Destination Master Plan recommendations;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. assess the implementation experience of Pedestrianization Programs in comparable jurisdictions including Montreal and New York;

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. include meaningful consultation with Business Improvement Areas, local businesses, residents, and other interest groups to define potential roles for external groups in implementing pedestrian street projects;

\r\n

d. identify and assess potential impacts on traffic congestion, public transit, site servicing, maintenance and operations, parking, and the needs of first responders, and include how these issues and needs can be addressed;

\r\n

 

\r\n

e. identify necessary resources, materials, and infrastructure to support the permanent or temporary pedestrianization of a street, including vibrant lighting, public art, seating, and event-ready infrastructure;

\r\n

 

\r\n

f. ensure that the program considers financial sustainability with regards to safety and security requirements for policing, hostile vehicle mitigation, security, and city servicing; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

g. propose an implementation plan that addresses the public desire for pedestrianized space while implementing in a manner that enables learning and modification of the program as it evolves.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request the General Manager, Transportation Services, in consultation with the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture to report in advance of the 2027 budget process on the resources required to implement future seasonal or year-round pedestrianization projects, and to report back in the first quarter of 2027 with an implementation plan for Summer 2027.

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

The enormous popularity of street festivals in Toronto demonstrates that Torontonians are eager to enjoy pedestrian streets and the food, entertainment, and social opportunities they provide. These events are drawing increasingly large crowds, signalling strong public demand for pedestrian-oriented experiences.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Pedestrian streets deliver significant economic benefits and have been successfully implemented in cities around the world, including places like Paris and Copenhagen, and as close to home as Montreal. A recent Toronto Destination Master Plan report from April 2026 finds that Toronto lags peer cities in walkability and street-level vibrancy, with many areas lacking pedestrian-friendly design. This report recommends creating more pedestrian-friendly public spaces and evaluating candidate streets for year-round pedestrianization.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Transportation Services has been researching and developing a Pedestrian Streets Policy since at least early 2025, with a final report originally targeted for December 2025 that did not go forward. At its May 2026 meeting, City Council approved the Church Street pedestrianization pilot and directed that those outcomes and findings be used to inform the creation of the pedestrianization policy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion seeks to build on and accelerate that work by directing staff to broaden the scope and create a citywide Pedestrian Streets Program, identifying candidate streets for seasonal and year-round pedestrianization next year, and requesting staff to report back on the required resources for implementation through the 2027 budget process.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Torontonians and tourism experts are calling on the city to expand pedestrianization options, and we should listen by taking concrete steps to make this happen. While there are important considerations around impacts to congestion, public safety, and responsible management, these can be effectively addressed – like many cities around the world already do. It's time to move forward on a Pedestrian Streets Program for Toronto.

Councillor Amber Morley, seconded by Mayor Olivia Chow, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council amend its previous decision on Item 2026.PH30.2 by adding a new Recommendation 3 as follows:

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council approve a development charge credit against the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges for the design and construction by the Leasehold Owner of the Above Base Park Improvements to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks and Recreation; the development charge credit shall be in an amount that is the lesser of the cost to the Owner of designing and constructing the Above Base Park Improvements, as approved by the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, and the Parks and Recreation component of development charges payable for the development in accordance with the City's Development Charges By-law, as may be amended from time to time.

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

At its meeting on May 20, 2026, City Council, via 2026.PH30.2, approved the application to amend Zoning By-law 569-2013, to permit a modified version of the previously approved Housing Now mixed-use building on Block 5 of the Bloor-Kipling Block Context Plan (970 Kipling Avenue). This development proposal on City-owned land is being delivered through the Toronto Builds Policy Framework.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the selected proponent of the Toronto Builds project, the applicant is anticipated to deliver a portion of the site, measuring 2,193 m2 in area, in Base Park condition (see “Dundas St Historical Alignment” in Appendix A), to be operated and maintained by the Parks and Recreation Division. The applicant wishes to deliver Above-Base Park Improvements prior to first occupancy of the approved mixed-use building, given that some units in the building will front onto the parkland.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Staff are seeking City Council authority to provide the applicant with a credit for the Parks and Recreation component of the Development Charges for the design and construction of the Above Base Park Improvements.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This future park will expand the existing public open space network in the Six Points area. This matter is urgent because City Council authority is required prior to finalization of the Ground Lease and Project Agreement for the Toronto Builds project.

Councillor Brad Bradford, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, in partnership with Metrolinx and in consultation with the Executive Director, Transit Expansion and adjacent landowners, to initiate and complete a feasibility study and initial design work to implement a direct pedestrian walkway from Stephenson Avenue to provide access to the Danforth GO Transit platform in a manner that prioritizes safety, customer experience, and quality of design, with the study beginning in 2026.
  

\r\n

2. City Council direct the General Manager, Transportation Services, in partnership with Metrolinx and in consultation with the Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, the Executive Director, Transit Expansion and adjacent landowners, to report to Toronto and East York Community Council with a summary of the feasibility study and required next steps to enable the construction of the pedestrian connection between Stephenson Avenue and the Danforth GO Transit Station, following the completion of the feasibility study and no later than the third quarter of 2027.
 

\r\n

3. City Council amend the 2026-2035 Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services by $250,000 gross, $0 debt, to create a new capital sub-project for the purpose of a feasibility study and initial design work to implement a direct pedestrian walkway from Stephenson Avenue to provide access to the Danforth GO Transit platform (CTP826-04) , fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Fund) community benefits obtained from the following developments in the following amounts:

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

As a city, we should always be working to make it easier for residents to use our transit systems, which includes looking at ways to improve access points.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Residents have identified the need for a safer and more direct pedestrian connection from Stephenson Avenue to the Danforth GO platform. Currently, access to the station is only available on the east side of Main Street, which presents several challenges for pedestrians coming from the west including the use of multiple stairs, insufficient lighting, and the need to navigate busy traffic without a convenient safe pedestrian crossing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Finding a way to create a direct pedestrian connection from Stephenson Avenue to the Danforth GO Transit platform will greatly improve connectivity in the neighbourhood and access to public transportation.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion directs city staff to undertake a feasibility study and initial design work for a pedestrian connection, taking a concrete step towards building this important new link which would need to be delivered in partnership with Metrolinx and coordination with adjacent landowners.

Councillor Parthi Kandavel, seconded by Councillor Anthony Perruzza recommends that: 

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the City Solicitor to seek party status and to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing regarding 537 Kennedy Road (Application A0348/21SC) with appropriate City Staff, to uphold the Committee of Adjustment’s decision to refuse the development proposed in application A0348/21SC.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to negotiate a resolution regarding 537 Kennedy Road (Application A0348/21SC) and authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City at their discretion after consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Director of Community Planning, Scarborough District.

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

The owner of the lands municipally known as 537 Kennedy Road, applied to the Committee of Adjustment requesting variances to legalize an existing structure for use as a garden suite. The structure, constructed without building permits in 2014, requires multiple variances related to massing and placement. An application for this structure was first received in 2021. The Applicant subsequently submitted several revisions to the application and hearings related to the application scheduled for December 2021 and April 2024 were deferred upon the Applicant’s request.

\r\n

 

\r\n

On February 17, 2026, the Applicant submitted a further revised application. The Application requires variances to City-wide Zoning By-law No. 569-2013, including but not limited to minimum required side yard setback, maximum permitted height and maximum gross floor area. On April 14, 2026, the Scarborough District Panel of the Committee of Adjustment refused the requested variances (Decision in Attachment 1).

\r\n

 

\r\n

In its report dated March 31, 2026, Community Planning Staff noted that there were concerns with the Application, in particular, there is concern regarding the size and scale of the current garage structure/proposed garden suite relative to both the dimensions of the subject property, as well as the smaller primary residential dwelling on the lot. Community Planning Staff concluded that the proposed garden suite variances do not meet the intent of the City-wide garden suite framework and recommended refusal of the Application (Staff Report in Attachment 2).

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion will give the City Solicitor authority to attend before the Toronto Local Appeal Body, with appropriate City Staff, in support of the Committee of Adjustment’s decision to refuse the minor variance application. This Motion will also authorize the City Solicitor to resolve the matter on behalf of the City, at the City Solicitor’s discretion, after consultation with the Ward Councillor and the Director of Community Planning, Scarborough District.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This matter is time sensitive and urgent as the Applicant has appealed the Decision to the Toronto Local Appeal Body and a hearing will be imminently scheduled. The City Solicitor requires instruction to obtain party status and subsequently attend the hearing.

City Council direct the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to consult with the Chief Executive Officer, CreateTO to assess any applications received from in-flight housing projects on City-owned or City-controlled land under Phase 2 of the Purpose-built Rental Housing Incentives stream, in consideration of other financial support provided by the City to these developments.

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

On June 23, 2026, the Premier of Ontario announced that $1.5 billion in funding will be provided to the City of Toronto over ten years through the Development Charge Reduction Program, funded through the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This landmark funding deal will pay for major infrastructure projects in the City’s 10 Year Capital Plan, including our road network, water infrastructure, and enhanced transit capacity to support a growing population, instead of through development charges collected from residential homebuyers.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Through the Provincial and Federal funding, the City can now reduce its residential development charges by 40 to 60 per cent for the next three years. These reductions will apply across the board for residential development. Deeper development charge discounts (60 per cent) will be offered to units two or more bedrooms, to help incentivize building more housing for families.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In a time when our housing market has slowed down, these development charge reductions will help make projects more financially viable, build more of the kind of housing we need, and make homes more affordable for residents.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This program will not only catalyze building more housing in Toronto, it will also support jobs through construction and related industries. These investments are estimated to generate over 143,000 jobs, including 65,800 direct jobs, and 78,000 indirect or induced jobs.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These investments are in addition to the $1.2 billion in financial contributions from the City of Toronto since 2024 to help get more housing built, including a freeze on development charges, exempting multiplexes up to six units from development charges, a 15 per cent property tax reduction for rental housing, and programs to incentivize the construction of affordable housing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

It is critically important that we continue to increase the supply of affordable housing in the City.

\r\n

 

\r\n

With the greater financial stability provided through the $1.5 billion in federal and provincial infrastructure funding, the City of Toronto is now in a position to launch a new phase of our Purpose-Built Rental Incentives Stream through our own financial resources. This program provides full 100 per cent waivers of development charges for projects that include a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Phase 1 of this program launched in Fall 2024 and supported approximately 8,000 units, including approximately 2,000 affordable units. It was highly successful at incentivizing new projects with affordable housing to break ground across the city – some are nearly complete. There was significant interest in the program, with 75 applications received representing over 32,600 new units - far exceeding expectations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Phase 2 of the program will support up to 10,000 new rental homes, including a minimum of 2,000 affordable rental homes. We will prioritize shovel-ready projects and City staff will review and approve applications on a rolling basis over the coming weeks and months.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The attached report from City staff outlines the details of the $1.5 billion in funding from the Canada-Ontario Partnership to Build, and the launch of Phase 2 of the Purpose-Built Rental Incentives program. The recommendations below outline the authorities required to execute these important measures for unlocking supply of new market housing and affordable housing in Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This matter is urgent because it is time-sensitive to execute a transfer payment agreement with the Provincial government to reduce development charges and incentivize construction as quickly as possible.

Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik, seconded by Councillor Alejandra Bravo recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, to identify strategies to support cultural organizations facing displacement and cultural organizations with capital funding and space needs and report on findings to the Economic and Community Development Committee as part of the 2027 annual report on the implementation of Culture Connects: An Action Plan for Culture in Toronto (2025-2035).
 

\r\n

2. City Council request the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with Executive Director, Corporate Real Estate Management, to provide a plan for the long-term activation of the City-owned arts space Sandbox building (formerly Artscape) upon the departure of their upcoming short-term tenant, with focus wherever possible on the prioritization of arts-serving organizations currently based in or recently displaced from Ward 10 and other options to address creative space needs in the City.
 

\r\n

3. City Council request the Board of Directors of the Toronto Arts Council to assess the feasibility of developing programs to support independent fashion designers, in collaboration with fashion design schools, local artists, and neighbourhood groups, as well as analyzing the sector’s need from a commercial standpoint through the Economic Development and Culture Division’s economic development efforts.

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

Since 2022, ongoing engagement has been occurring with local arts organizations in Ward 10 around their needs and barriers to delivering their programming.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The first phase of this engagement was input that fed into improvements and additions to the City’s Culture Connects Plan in Fall 2024.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Organizations like Bygone Theatre and On Task Studios have been displaced from their previous homes in Ward 10 and are seeking new permanent spaces. Organizations like Cinecycle have been working to identify ways to ensure their laneway and venue are accessible for patrons with accessibility and mobility needs. IATSE Local 58 has been continually searching for training space in our downtown to train the next generation of arts workers in the live performance sector. We know there are more organizations in Ward 10 and across the City in dire need of affordable and accessible arts space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

These motions are aimed at ensuring local arts organizations in Ward 10 continue to be well-supported with the space they need to do their work, that their spaces are accessible, and that we leverage all possible opportunities. They also aim at addressing and investigating new sectors that are not currently receiving support to better understand the viability of City supports.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The reason for urgency is that there are a number of arts and culture organizations experiencing displacement and in need of affordable and accessible arts space.

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

The purpose of this motion is to request City Council approval to adopt a revised construction staging area and schedule for Spadina Road, between Lowther Avenue and Kendal Avenue, in support of the Toronto Transit Commission Subway Ventilation Equipment Replacement project.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Transit Commission plans to replace the end-of-life subway ventilation equipment's within Spadina Station Line 1 ventilation shafts. To carry out this critical work, temporary street-level access is required at the ventilation shafts located in the center of Spadina Road, between Lowther Avenue and Kendal Avenue. The residents and businesses in this same area have been substantially disrupted to accommodate Toronto Transit Commission Easier Access construction for the last several years.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To accommodate the ventilation equipment replacement, City Council, at its meeting of May 20 and 21, 2026, adopted Item 2026.TE32.25, approving a construction staging area on Spadina Road, between Lowther Avenue and Kendal Avenue. At that time, the project was proposed to proceed as a single-phase operation, with concurrent work on both the north and south ventilation shafts. The approved traffic impacts included:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. closure of the northbound through lane on Spadina Road between a point 15 metres north of Kendal Avenue and a point 110 metres south of Lowther Avenue; and

\r\n


b. closure of the southbound through lane between a point 90 metres north of Kendal Avenue and a point 30 metres south of Lowther Avenue.

\r\n


These closures were approved for the period from October 1, 2026, to December 31, 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

However, in light of the last several years of community disruption at the same intersection, I requested the Toronto Transit Commission and Transportation staff to consider revising this staging plan to mitigate local impacts. Staff offered to limit impacts on the local community by limiting the staging area and by restructuring the work into two phases, constructing one ventilation shaft at a time. They also offered to defer the project start date to March 1, 2027, with a revised completion date of February 28, 2028, to give the surrounding community a break between disruptions.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Toronto Transit Commission has therefore developed a revised construction staging plan that incorporates a two-phase approach and defers the project start to March 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Under the revised plan, the work will be undertaken in two sequential phases to minimize impacts to traffic operations and the surrounding community. Phase 1 will focus on the north ventilation shaft, located near Spadina Road and Kendal Avenue, and will be carried out over a six month period from March 1, 2027 to August 30, 2027. Upon completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 will proceed at the south ventilation shaft, located near Spadina Road and Lowther Avenue, over a six month period from September 1, 2027 to February 28, 2028.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To facilitate construction staging operations, Transportation Services is requesting Council authorization for the following temporary closures and traffic amendments:

\r\n

 

\r\n

Phase 1 – North Ventilation Shaft (March 1 to August 30, 2027)

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. closure of the northbound through traffic lane on Spadina Road, between Lowther Avenue and a point 100 metres north of Kendal Avenue;

\r\n


b. closure of the southbound through lane on Spadina Road, between a point 35 metres north of Lowther Avenue and a point 100 metres north of Kendal Avenue; and 

\r\n


c. prohibition of northbound left-turns, in effect at all times, at the intersection of Spadina Road and Kendal Avenue.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Phase 2 – South Ventilation Shaft (September 1, 2027 to February 28, 2028)

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. closure of the northbound through traffic lane on Spadina Road, between a point 50 metres north of Lowther Avenue and a point 115 metres south of Lowther Avenue;

\r\n


b. closure of the southbound through traffic lane on Spadina Road, between a point 60 metres south of Lowther Avenue and a point 40 metres south of Kendal Avenue; and

b. request the City Clerk to give notice in accordance with Municipal Code Chapter 162, Public Notice.

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

This motion recommends that the Toronto and East York Community Council, at its July 8 and 9, 2026 meeting, consider renaming the existing public lane located south of St. Clair Avenue West, extending southerly from Ellsworth Avenue as \"Aren Levy Lane\", honouring a local resident in the community.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For over 30 years, Aren Levy owned and operated Levy’s, a family clothing store at 541 St. Clair West. From the early 1970s until the late 2000s, the store was an anchor of the St. Clair West community. At its height, the business expanded to three locations, even being featured on Eye on Toronto and frequently cited in the media as a formidable competitor to major retailers such as Winners and The Bay.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This specific lane is deeply tied to the store’s history, as it was the primary access point Aren Levy used for three decades to manage shipments.

The Applicant applied to the Committee of Adjustment to request seventeen (variances from City-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 (Application A0156/26NY) to construct a three-storey apartment building containing six dwelling units, and a two-storey garden suite in the rear of the yard. Prior to the Committee of Adjustment hearing, the garden suite was removed from the Application and the variances were reduced to six, including east interior side yard setback, west corner side yard setback, distance between main walls on the ground floor, front yard setback, height of the first floor above established grade, and platform encroachment into side yard setback.

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

This motion seeks to support Théâtre français de Toronto and its long-standing project to build a permanent venue designed specifically for French-language theatre in Toronto.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For nearly 60 years, Théâtre français de Toronto has been a pillar of Toronto’s Francophone cultural life. As the only professional French-language theatre in the Queen City, Théâtre français de Toronto serves Francophone and Francophile communities in Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area, and well beyond, while playing an important role in education, youth audience development, and artistic creation. The company welcomes nearly 12,000 audience members each season, including non-Francophone spectators who can also enjoy the plays thanks to surtitles.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Despite its significant contribution to Toronto’s cultural life, Théâtre français de Toronto has operated for decades without a permanent venue. Seventy-one Franco-Ontarian organizations recently signed letters of support reaffirming the need for a permanent home for Théâtre français de Toronto. Support from the federal government has been secured but it is insufficient to bring the project to completion. The City of Toronto would benefit from such a project. It is important that the City explore what it can do to support the project as well. It is in this spirit that I propose the following motion.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency: Construction is scheduled to begin within weeks. Financial certainty is needed to move forward.

Councillor Paula Fletcher, seconded by Councillor Frances Nunziata, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation to waive 60 percent or $28,098.69 of the total remaining permit fees that are outstanding, $46,831.15 on a one-time basis, for permits taken out by Toronto Music, Arts and Nature Alliance for cultural events programming held at Cherry Beach in 2024.

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

Toronto Music, Arts and Nature Alliance is a not-for-profit organization that has produced the Promise Cherry Beach music and arts event series for more than 25 years. The event series is a longstanding part of Toronto's cultural landscape and attracts residents and visitors to Cherry Beach throughout the summer season.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In 2024, Toronto Music, Arts and Nature Alliance obtained permits to host eleven ticketed event dates at Cherry Beach. Following permit issuance, access to Cherry Beach was significantly impacted by the unexpected closure of the Cherry Street bridge for emergency repairs undertaken by Ports Toronto. The bridge closure was extended multiple times throughout the summer, often with limited notice.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Cherry Beach has limited access points, and the bridge closure created significant challenges for event attendees travelling to and from the site. The nearest Toronto Transit Commission service is approximately a 40-minute walk from the event location. As a result, the event series experienced an estimated 50 percent reduction in attendance and associated revenue losses due to circumstances beyond the control of the event organizer.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recognizing these impacts, City Council adopted Item 2024.MM23.31 in 2024, authorizing a refund of 25 percent of the permit fees paid by the organizer. The approved refund totalled $13,319.51, based on total permit fees of $60,150.66. The remaining permit fee balance of $46,831.15 remains outstanding.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While Parks and Recreation has delegated authority to waive or refund up to $1,000 in fees for a not-for-profit organization, any additional fee relief requires approval by City Council.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Although Toronto Music, Arts and Nature Alliance is a not-for-profit organization, the event series did not qualify for assistance under the City's one-time Special Events Stabilization Initiative because their commercial permit classification allows for for-profit sales rather than not-for-profit events that would be free and open to the public.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Given the extraordinary and prolonged access restrictions experienced during the 2024 event season, and the significant impacts on attendance and event revenues arising from circumstances outside the organizer's control, additional relief is being sought through the waiver of 60 percent of the remaining permit fees for the 2024 Promise Cherry Beach event series, following the previously approved 25 percent fee reduction.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

The permit fees associated with the 2024 Promise Cherry Beach event series remain outstanding and are now past due. As a result, Toronto Music, Arts and Nature Alliance is currently in arrears with the City and is not eligible to receive permits for future events under existing City policies.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The 2026 Promise Cherry Beach event series is scheduled to commence on June 19, 2026, and permits must be issued in advance to allow for event planning, site preparation, and operational coordination. As Parks and Recreation staff do not have delegated authority to waive permit fees beyond $1,000, City Council direction is required to resolve the outstanding balance and enable permit processing for the 2026 event season.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Consideration of this matter at this meeting will provide certainty to both the event organizer and City staff and support the continued delivery of a longstanding cultural event series at Cherry Beach.

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

Birch Cliff Village, one of the earliest established villages in Scarborough, has a longstanding legacy of community identity and local entrepreneurship. Kingston Road, between Warden Avenue and Birchmount Road, continues to function as the central spine of the area, characterized by a mix of historic buildings, established institutions, and independent businesses. This corridor remains a vital destination for residents and visitors alike, supported by a diverse commercial base and ongoing development that signals continued growth and evolution.

\r\n

 

\r\n

While existing gateway features at either end of Birch Cliff Village provide a sense of arrival, there is a clear opportunity to further strengthen placemaking elements that highlight the area’s distinct character. Enhancing the public realm through coordinated streetscape improvements can better showcase the cultural and economic vibrancy of the corridor, reinforce a cohesive identity, and create a more inviting and recognizable destination within the broader city context.

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

This item is considered urgent given the current opportunity to review existing and future planned work by Transportation Services in the Birch Cliff Village area, together with the recent impacts on local businesses as a result of roadwork.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Recent infrastructure and roadwork have placed temporary strain on local businesses and community activity. Strategic investment in streetscape enhancements represents a critical next step in supporting recovery and long-term resilience. Improvements such as upgraded streetscaping, landscaping, and/or wayfinding can elevate the overall visitor experience, increase foot traffic, and encourage longer dwell times. These enhancements not only benefit existing businesses but also position Birch Cliff Village to attract new investment, foster economic vitality, and sustain its role as a dynamic and welcoming main street for the community.

\r\n

1. City Council request the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, in consultation with the local ward Councillor, to review and implement immediate and long-term opportunities, where feasible, to improve permitted and recreational access to Birchmount Stadium for local community groups, including consideration of:

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. improvements to permit communication and transparency to enhance the user experience.

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

Birchmount Stadium is a premier publicly funded track and field facility in Scarborough, upgraded as part of a $206 million investment in sport infrastructure across the Greater Toronto Area for the 2015 Pan Am Games. Under current agreements, use is restricted to use by local school students during the school year between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.. Outside those hours, the stadium is heavily permitted by athletic groups, leaving limited windows for general public access during the school year.

\r\n

 

\r\n

During the school year (September to June), permitted bookings run Monday to Friday from 6:00–11:00 p.m. and Saturday to Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., leaving little room for unstructured community use. In the summer (July to August), the stadium offers public drop-in access on weekday mornings from 9:00–11:00 a.m., with no access available on weekends or after work hours.

Residents and local clubs have raised concerns about barriers to access throughout the year. The existing permit structure does not allow multiple user groups to share the facility at the same time, meaning the track may sit unused while a soccer group holds a field permit, further limiting use of the facility.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion asks City staff to explore options to expand public access, review the existing Toronto District School Board agreement, introduce a multi-use permitting model, and expand drop-in windows beyond the current summer-only offering.

\r\n

Reason for Urgency:

\r\n

 

\r\n

This matter is considered urgent given the present opportunity to review and negotiation applicable agreements following City's investment in Birchmount Stadium, coupled with growing demand by the public and permit holders of recreational spaces in Scarborough Southwest.

g. The patio area will be installed and maintained substantially in accordance with the seasonal outdoor patio plans prepared by Kirkor Architects & Planners and NAK Design Strategies, dated January 9, 2024, on file with City Planning.

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

On June 26 and 27, 2024, City Council adopted recommendations to allow a seasonal patio at 460 Adelaide Street East (2024.MM19.16), for a temporary period ending October 15, 2025. At that time, City Planning staff had advised that a seasonal outdoor patio on a portion of the Privately Owned Publicly-Accessible Space (POPS) is supported by Official Plan Policy 3.1.1.20(a), which states that POPS may include temporary commercial uses which animate the space. The temporary permission to operate the POPS allowed the City to assess the potential impacts of the patio, with the stipulation that an extension of the timeframe for which the seasonal outdoor patio use is permitted may be considered.

\r\n

 

\r\n

To date there have been no observed negative impacts of this seasonal outdoor patio. The purpose of this motion is to permit the owner or tenant of an at grade and adjacent retail unit in Toronto Standard Condominium Corporation 2756 to continue operating a seasonal outdoor patio on a portion of the POPS at 424-460 Adelaide Street East on a temporary basis until October 15, 2027.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This matter is urgent as the 2026 patio season is already underway and City Council approval is required to enable the installation of this patio in a timely manner.

Mayor Olivia Chow, seconded by Councillor Jamaal Myers, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council acknowledge the profound and continuing scale of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Canada, honour the memory of the more than 21,000 Canadians who have died of AIDS-related illness, and stand in solidarity with the more than 65,000 people currently living with HIV in Canada.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council recognize The AIDS Memorial (Toronto), for the purpose of City decision-making and stewardship, as a memorial of national significance, including as one of the world’s few large, permanent AIDS memorials, an open-ended memorial for names of those lost to AIDS, and a living site of loss, survival, activism, and public memory.

\r\n

 

\r\n

3. City Council acknowledge the broad community consensus behind The AIDS Memorial Project’s Echoes proposal, including endorsement from over 45 provincial and national HIV/AIDS organizations, four local trans-led organizations, and the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood Association, and endorse Echoes as the principal framework for the restoration, expansion, interpretation, and long-term civic recognition of The AIDS Memorial (Toronto).

\r\n

 

\r\n

4. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, in consultation with The AIDS Memorial Project, people living with HIV, people who lost loved ones to AIDS, HIV/AIDS service organizations, and relevant City divisions, to continue moving forward with the integration of the Echoes proposal into the final design for The AIDS Memorial (Toronto), including its core components.

\r\n

 

\r\n

5. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks and Recreation, to ensure that the interpretive, storytelling, and name-recovery components, including opportunities for digital storytelling, associated with the Echoes proposal for The AIDS Memorial (Toronto) are developed through community-led processes, with the City supporting the participation of people living with HIV, especially those from communities most affected by HIV/AIDS.

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

The AIDS Memorial (Toronto), located in Barbara Hall Park in the Church-Wellesley Village, is one of Toronto’s most significant sites of public remembrance.

\r\n

 

\r\n

First emerging in 1988 as a community act of naming, mourning, and public witness, and made permanent in 1993, The AIDS Memorial centres the names of people who died of AIDS. It continues to receive names and remains a living memorial to a continuing epidemic, a national loss, and the dignity of people living with HIV.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The memorial is located in Ward 13, but its meaning is not limited to one ward. It is a civic memorial of national significance. There are people living with HIV, and people who have died of AIDS, in every ward of this city. The memorial holds grief, history, activism, and memory from across Toronto, Ontario, and Canada.

\r\n

 

\r\n

More than 21,000 Canadians have died of AIDS-related illness, and more than 65,000 people in Canada are currently living with HIV. The impact of HIV/AIDS has been borne especially by communities already facing stigma, exclusion, and institutional neglect, including gay and bisexual men, trans people, African, Caribbean and Black communities, Indigenous communities, sex workers, people who use drugs, incarcerated people, newcomers, and migrants.

\r\n

 

\r\n

For many people who died of AIDS, public naming was an essential act of dignity. In periods when many were denied recognition by families, institutions, and governments, chosen family and community carried the work of remembrance. The AIDS Memorial made that grief visible.

\r\n

 

\r\n

As the City of Toronto advances the Barbara Hall Park Improvements project, The AIDS Memorial must be treated as a defining civic and historical feature of the site. Community members living with HIV, people who lost loved ones to AIDS, and HIV/AIDS organizations have identified the need to restore the existing memorial, strengthen its dignity and legibility, expand its capacity, and ensure that its history is understood by future generations.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The AIDS Memorial Project’s Echoes proposal responds to that need. Echoes is a community-led restorative framework for The AIDS Memorial that combines restoration, spatial definition, interpretation, public art, gathering space, and a renewed memorial landscape.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Echoes has received unusually broad community support, including endorsement from over 45 provincial and national HIV/AIDS organizations, four local trans-led organizations, and the Church Wellesley Neighbourhood Association.

\r\n

 

\r\n

City Council should recognize The AIDS Memorial (Toronto) as a civic memorial of national significance and endorse Echoes as the principal framework for its restoration and expansion.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency: Substantive work to develop the final concept plan for the Barbara Hall Park Improvements project will be complete before the next meeting of City Council.

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

On February 2 and 3, 2022, City Council adopted the settlement offer for the appealed Zoning By-law Amendment application (20 155716 STE 12 OZ) at 10 to 32 Raglan Avenue allowing a 97.5-metre (28 storeys, excluding mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building. The resulting Site Specific By-laws 1173-2022 (OLT) and 1174-2022 (OLT) were enacted on September 16, 2022.

\r\n

 

\r\n

The Council approval (Item 2022.CC39.7 - 10-32 Raglan Avenue - Zoning By-law Amendment Application - Ontario Land Tribunal Hearing - Request for Further Directions) secured a set of Section 37 Planning Act Community Benefits. The existing Section 37 Agreement, registered on title to the lands as Instrument Number AT6352680, currently requires that the owner provide the following:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. an approximately 245.8-square metre Community Agency Space, including a cash contribution for future capital improvements;

\r\n

b. the conveyance of approximately 252.4-square metre new on-site public park;

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. a cash payment for local area roadway improvements and a bike share station in the vicinity of the site;

\r\n

 

\r\n

d. pedestrian laneway lighting;

\r\n

 

\r\n

e. a micro retail space in the building;

\r\n

 

\r\n

f. the submission of the required Rental Housing Demolition application under Chapter 667 of the Toronto Municipal code to demolish the existing residential dwelling units at the Site;

\r\n

 

\r\n

g. four live/work units in the building; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

h. a minimum of ten percent of the dwelling units as 3-bedroom units.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Subsequently, minor variance application approvals (A1038/23TEY and A0284/23TEY) were granted for the site amending the Site-specific By-laws 1173-2022(OLT) and 1174-2022(OLT) regarding parking and loading standards, and building height and form, thereby permitting a 114.0-metre (34 storeys, excluding mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Subsequently to the Council and minor variance application approvals, the owner has prepared a revised proposal for the site to be used for a housing facility for seniors. The facility is to contain supportive and independent living components, including assisted living, memory care, independent supported living, and seniors’ apartments. The owner determined that the drastically shifting market conditions rendered the previously approved 34-storey mixed-use building not feasible and that the current proposal would enable the redevelopment of the site, which is currently vacant.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Various changes to the built form and other zoning requirements are necessary to allow the revised proposal. Therefore, a minor variance application (A0321/26TEY) was submitted to the Committee of Adjustment, and approved on June 17, 2026, and will come into force on July 8, 2026 if no appeal is received

\r\n

 

\r\n

The previously secured Section 37 Community Benefits including the Community Agency Space, live/work units, and 3-bedroom units are not included in the proposal. The intent of this Motion is to allow amendments to the existing Section 37 Agreement to align with the proposed seniors’ housing facility. The required changes to the existing Section 37 Agreement would be the following:

\r\n

 

\r\n

a. to amend the requirement to provide Community Agency Space by instead providing a cash payment of $1.203,000;

\r\n

 

\r\n

b. to delete the requirement to provide a pedestrian surface easement for the previously secured Community Agency Space;

\r\n

 

\r\n

c. to delete the requirement to provide four live/work units; and

\r\n

 

\r\n

d. to delete the requirement to provide a minimum of ten percent of the dwelling units as 3-bedroom units.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent as the project is imminently moving forward.

Councillor Lily Cheng, seconded by Councillor James Pasternak, recommends that:

\r\n

 

\r\n

1. City Council request that Metrolinx consider accommodation of Passenger Pick up and Drop Off activity in the design of Steeles Station on the Yonge North Subway Extension.

\r\n

 

\r\n

2. City Council request Metrolinx develop a pest management plan specific to the construction of the Yonge North Subway Extension that aims to minimize pest activity caused by construction and provide required supports for any residents impacted by rodent activity near Metrolinx construction sites, using best practices and insights from Metrolinx's Ontario Line Pest Management Strategy.

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

The Yonge North Subway Extension represents a major transit investment that will significantly transform mobility in the region, including the future Steeles Station area. As planning and design advance, it is important that the station and surrounding construction impacts are addressed in a way that reflects both long term functionality and community wellbeing.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion seeks to ensure that the design of Steeles Station appropriately accommodates Passenger Pick Up and Drop Off activity. Given the expected increase in ridership and local access needs, the absence of dedicated and well planned pick up and drop off infrastructure could create ongoing congestion, safety concerns, and traffic impacts on surrounding streets, as we currently experience around Sheppard Station. Early consideration of this function within the station design will support safer, more efficient movement of passengers and reduce negative spillover effects on the local road network.

\r\n

 

\r\n

In addition, the scale and duration of construction associated with the Yonge North Subway Extension has the potential to contribute to increased pest activity in adjacent neighbourhoods. This motion therefore requests that Metrolinx develop a comprehensive pest management plan for the construction period. Such a plan would aim to proactively minimize pest disruptions and ensure that appropriate mitigation and response measures are in place, including supports for residents who may be impacted by rodent activity near construction sites.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Together, these measures are intended to ensure that the benefits of this transformative transit project are delivered while also protecting local residents, maintaining neighbourhood livability, and integrating essential operational and environmental considerations into both design and construction phases.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Reason for Urgency: 

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent as it directly responds to the ongoing planning and implementation of Metrolinx’s Yonge North Subway Extension construction at Steeles Station, as outlined in Report NY33.27, which is scheduled for consideration at the July 7, 2026, North York Community Council meeting.

The report contemplates significant long term construction impacts, including full closure of Yonge Street, major traffic realignments, and extended construction staging within the existing right of way, all of which will have immediate and prolonged effects on local access, mobility, and community livability in Willowdale.

\r\n

 

\r\n

Failure to address these issues at this stage risks embedding design limitations into the station infrastructure and leaving surrounding neighbourhoods without adequate mitigation measures. Early Council direction will help ensure that community impacts are properly managed, integrated into construction planning, and aligned with the broader approval framework being sought through NY33.27.

The Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, launched with overwhelming support from local businesses and the Church Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area aims to transform Church Street into a vibrant, car-free community space.

\r\n

 

\r\n

A core focus of this pilot is improving street-level accessibility along a corridor where many older storefronts are physically inaccessible due to steps and barriers. By closing the street to vehicles, an unobstructed emergency lane will run down the centre lanes to serve as the primary pedestrian walkway and sidewalk. Local businesses are enthusiastically extending their outdoor patios directly onto the curblane, creating new, seamless access points for visitors. To guarantee safe navigation, each patio will maintain a strict one-meter clearance zone, ensuring an entirely unobstructed path for mobility devices, wheelchairs, and emergency personnel.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion will provide the General Manager, Transportation Services additional authority to make real-time adjustments to traffic management and allow a flexible, adaptive approach to optimize a highly accessible streetscape that fully supports the community and local economy.

\r\n

 

\r\n

This motion is urgent as the pilot is already underway.

770 Don Mills Road is an important City-owned property located steps from the Crosstown light rail transit's new Don Valley Station and the Ontario Line. It has great potential to deliver both housing and community amenities on what is currently a surface parking lot.

\r\n

CreateTO has been in the early stages of developing plans for a transit-oriented and mixed-income development at this site including an elementary school, park space, retail and childcare, along with market and affordable housing. With this mix of uses, the project requires significant collaboration with stakeholders to deliver these outcomes.

This motion is urgent because the direction is required to accelerate development of plans for the site prior to the Council recess.

Toronto is desperately short of live music venues and is facing threats to some of those that remain. One potential solution may be to revitalize the vacant theatre at 285 Spadina Avenue, the corner of Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street. This theatre has been vacant since 1975, but it was erected in 1921 as the Standard Theatre for live Yiddish theatre. It was designed by Benjamin Brown, one of Toronto’s first Jewish architects, and financed by selling shares to members of the Jewish community of Kensington Market. As a theatre designed for live performances, it could still have good acoustics.

The hostel at 353 to 357 College Street obtained zoning approval several years ago to expand its building and small business into the adjacent vacant lot.

As a result of the city error, the approved building can only be built if the sewer access hole is located in the sidewalk, which is normally contrary to the Municipal Code.
