It has been brought to my attention that there have been recent complaints made to the City about the Etobicoke Coat of Arms displayed in the Etobicoke Civic Centre as being offensive or racist. There is a Coat of Arms prominently displayed in the Community Council Chamber, and another in the Committee Room. The Coat of Arms was used on the official seal of the former City of Etobicoke and has been used extensively from 1977 to amalgamation in 1998, both in physical form and on numerous documents and mediums. It is recognized and highly regarded by many. I believe that it is important that City Council and the public be made aware of the status of these complaints, and that Council receive information about the Coat of Arms.

The Waterfront East Light Rail Transit (WELRT), consisting of the Union Station to Queens Quay Link and the East Bayfront Light Rail Transit, is a City of Toronto priority transit project. According to growth projections, when fully built, the proposed 3.8-kilometre WELRT project will provide over 50,000 daily trips, bringing higher-order transit to support an estimated 100,000 residents and 50,000 jobs. The WELRT will also provide improved transit options to the Central Waterfront, Lower Yonge, East Bayfront, Quayside, Keating Precinct, Lower Don Lands, and the Port Lands communities and is an integral part of the future development of new communities on Villiers Island and the eastern waterfront. The WELRT is a substantial and critical project within the City’s broader 2018 Waterfront Transit Network Plan ( EX30.1 ). City staff last reported to City Council in 2022 under EX33.2 – Advancing City Priority Transit Expansion Projects – Eglinton East Light Rail Transit and Waterfront East Light Rail Transit and received direction to undertake a constructability review of the WELRT; report back on a recommended alignment and scope; and to provide an updated cost esti…

Toronto's Sign By-law is a harmonized, City-wide set of regulations governing signs which was adopted in 2010. The Sign By-law contains a process for any member of the public to apply to City Council to amend the Sign By-law to implement significant changes to the sign regulations for a specific property or area. Applications are commonly made requesting amendments to the Sign By-law to allow signs that are prohibited, to remove permissions for signs in an area, or to modify the administrative requirements of the Sign By-law. The Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, ("CBO") brings applications to amend the Sign By-law together on an annual basis for City Council consideration, so that that City Council can more easily assess the overall and cumulative impact of these applications on the city's built environment, and the Sign By-law itself. Sanford Outdoor Inc. (the "Applicant") is requesting an amendment to the Sign By-law (the "Proposed Amendment") to both redesignate a portion of the property municipally known as 195 Galaxy Boulevard (the Royal Woodbine Golf Club) from an Open Space ("OS") Sign District to an Employment ("E") Sign District, for purpo…

In March 2022, the Toronto Community Crisis Service launched a 24/7 service to provide a community-based, client centred, trauma-informed, non-police led response to people experiencing mental health crisis and wellness checks. In its first year of operations the Toronto Community Crisis Service received 6,827 calls for service, with 78 per cent of calls transferred from 911 successfully resolved without police involvement. Data from the Toronto Community Crisis Service's one-year evaluation demonstrates that 95 per cent of clients were satisfied or very satisfied with the service they received and 90 per cent indicated that it positively impacted their perception of community safety and wellbeing. In year one, community crisis teams completed 2,936 post-crisis follow up interactions and connected 1,160 service users to ongoing case management supports. The Toronto Community Crisis Service provides access to ground-breaking transformative care in 64 per cent of all Toronto wards. If approved by Council, the service will be expanded city-wide in 2024 to become the fourth municipal emergency service in Toronto, alongside Toronto Fire Services, Toronto Paramedic Services, and the Tor…

On July 19, 2022, the City received Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment applications for 25 Old York Mills Road (the "Site") to permit the construction of a 12-storey (38.05 metres, plus 4.5 metres for the mechanical penthouse) mixed-use building. The applicant appealed City Council's neglect or failure to make a decision on its applications for the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment (the "Appeal"), to the Ontario Land Tribunal on January 6, 2023. Two Case Management Conferences have taken place, and a hearing was scheduled to commence on November 15, 2023. The Toronto Region Conservation Authority and two residents associations, the Townhomes of Hogg's Hollow Community Association and the York Mills Valley Association, were granted party status, and two individuals obtained participant status. The City Solicitor requires further directions for the upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearing scheduled for November 15, 2023.

Toronto’s shelter system is full, and demand for shelter services is at an all-time high. Current demand for shelter space is so high that every night the City is unable to provide shelter to hundreds of people requesting a space. This report provides an update on the City’s Winter Services plan. Expanded services during the winter season (November 15 to April 15) provide warm, indoor space for people experiencing homelessness and protect people from cold and extreme weather during the winter months. Shelter, Support & Housing Administration’s preparation for winter 2023/2024 began at the end of the last winter season in April 2023, and has sited Warming Centres and a 24-hour winter respite, as directed by Council. The added space during the winter is critical to help move people who are sleeping outdoors into indoor space, including those people currently sleeping in encampments and on the transit system. With recent surges in demand, there are undeniable significant pressures on Toronto’s shelter system, and the City expects demand to continue to rise during the winter months and throughout 2024. The winter spaces that have been secured may not be suffici…
