North York General Hospital has been a cornerstone of Don Valley North and North York since it opened its doors in 1968. It has provided nearly five decades of exceptional health care and community care to an increasingly diverse population. Today, North York is home to a growing seniors' population and has the highest percentage of people age 65 and older in Toronto. To meet the rapidly growing need for seniors' health care, North York General Hospital is planning to build a new and modern long-term care home steps from the hospital at 4000 Leslie Street. They announced this plan as part of the overall infrastructure expansion they are pursuing in partnership with the Ontario Government. North York General Hospital's new long-term care home will be one of the largest in Ontario, if not Canada, and will offer the most advanced safety, infection prevention and control, and quality standards as one of the first home built post-pandemic. The home will offer a variety of seniors-focused health services and amenities for both residents and seniors in the surrounding neighbourhoods. North York General Hospital has been working closely with City Planning, the Ministry of Long-Term Care,…

On September 21, 2023, the Economic and Community Development Committee adopted EC6.9 - Incident and Operational Review of Serious Dog Attacks. The item included a letter from Councillor Paula Fletcher in response to a serious dog attack occurring on July 30, 2023. Staff were directed to review the specific incident, as well as procedures and processes of Toronto Animal Services (TAS) for the compliance and enforcement of Dangerous Dog Orders, including in the immediate aftermath of a serious dog attack. The Committee also requested staff review relevant Toronto Public Health (TPH) processes and procedures, as well as options to make dangerous dog charges known to the public. TAS within Municipal Licensing and Standards (MLS) investigates dangerous acts committed by a dog. TAS enforces requirements under Chapter 349, Animals (the Animals By-law), which requires owners to take reasonable precautions to prevent their dog from engaging in a dangerous act. The By-law also sets out criteria for when a Dangerous Dog Order may be issued and outlines associated conditions a dog owner must comply with. TAS may also commence proceedings under the provincial Dog Owners’ Liability Act (…

Multi-tenant houses (also known as rooming houses) are a critical component of the housing continuum and provide accommodation to diverse communities, including students, seniors, new immigrants, low-income residents, and people exiting homelessness. In recognition of the urgent need to protect this type of rental housing stock, in December, 2022, through Item 2023.CC2.1, City Council adopted the New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Houses (“Multi-Tenant Houses Framework”). The Multi-Tenant Houses Framework will come into effect on March 31, 2024, and includes: an updated city-wide zoning approach to permit multi-tenant houses in all areas of the city, subject to zone-specific requirements; a new licensing by-law; and a phased and collaborative approach to licensing and enforcement. The framework is rooted in a human rights-based approach to housing and its implementation will help the City adhere to its commitments under the Toronto Housing Charter – Opportunity for All. Specifically, implementation of the new framework will extend consistent regulation of multi-tenant houses across the City, with the aim that more homes are being maintained in a state of g…

As we mark the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the City of Toronto can provide additional support to the Ukrainian government and our Friendship City, Kyiv, for humanitarian purposes. During a recent meeting with Mr. Oleksandr Shevchenko, Consul General of Ukraine in Toronto, a request for assistance from the City of Toronto was made to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Kyiv. Since 1991, Toronto and Kyiv have been friendship cities, remaining in close contact, and celebrating our 30th anniversary of friendship in 2021. This motion provides authority for Fleet Services and Paramedic Services to donate up to five vehicles at end-of-life to Ukraine in 2024. These vehicles would add to the seven vehicles already provided to the Ukrainian government over the course of 2022 and 2023. The vehicles would be used to respond to emergency humanitarian situations in Ukraine.

Article IV Posters on Public Property in Chapter 693 of Toronto Municipal Code defines the regulations that are required for placing community posters on public property. Sections 693-29 to 693-33 describes various restrictions and guidelines that are outlined in this policy. Posters from persons, charities, religious organizations, community organizations and schools may attach community posters on utility poles. However, even if a community poster complies with all these criteria, Section 693-34 implies that the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards is permitted to remove community posters at any time and without notice. There is a lack of clarity for how long a poster can remain on one site, who can remove it, and the policy reach on which matters of concern (such as missing persons, property, pets, or community event) are eligible content. It seems that if the flyers posted on utility poles are not community flyers, residents are encouraged to contact 311. Municipal Licensing and Standards will investigate and take appropriate enforcement action and undertake to have illegally placed poster(s) removed. Municipal Licensing and Standards will initiate removal of…

In 2023 City Council approved a number of changes to the Traffic Calming Policy under item 2023.IE7.4 headed Updates on Vision Zero Road Safety Initiatives - New Traffic Calming Policy, Community Safety Zone Criteria, Zebra Marking Policy, Approach to Area-Based Speed Limit Reductions and Related Council Requests. This policy is the basis of determining where speed humps will be installed on a city street following a request. Among the changes were a reduction to the warranted speed threshold which would now qualify more streets, using the posted speed as a basis, the deletion of the requirement of a petition to gauge support at the outset of the process, and the deletion of the mandatory requirement of a formal Clerk's Poll of households to formalize support at the final stage of approval. Members of the public who contact 311 to request a traffic calming investigation are no longer able to do so, and are now directed to their local Councillor to place their request. The new policy places a significant onus with the local Councillor to select and advance traffic calming projects. It now requires that Transportation Services staff liaise with a Councillor to understand community s…
