As part of the 2023 Housing Action Plan, City Council adopted a New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Housing ("MTH") and recognized this form of rental housing stock as a critical component of affordable housing options. This program brought new incentives and other financial supports to assist property owners in obtaining a licence for this housing in all areas of the City. In response to MM20.30 Multi-Tenant Housing Framework: Parks Levy Exemption and Framework Application, this report seeks Council authority to exempt dwelling rooms in a multi-tenant house from parkland dedication requirements in Article III of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415, being the Parkland By-law ("Article III"). This amendment aligns with Council's priority for the development of this housing type and other financial considerations provided by the City. Following Council's recent adoption of MM22.10 Supporting Transitional Housing in Toronto - 3 Cadillac Avenue (Neshama Hospice) and site-specific parkland dedication exemption for the development of a non-profit hospice, this report also seeks approval to apply the exemption to non-profit hospices city-wide to reflect Council's support of this typ…

This report recommends the adoption by City Council of interim 2025 Solid Waste Management Services (SWMS) Rates and Fees as set out in this report. The adoption of these interim rates and fees is requested in advance of the 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budgets to establish these interim rates and fees and provide City staff with the necessary authority to implement them effective January 1, 2025. City Council may amend the interim rates when the 2025 Tax and Rate Supported Operating and Capital Budget is approved, which is expected in February 2025. This report recommends an interim 3.75 percent increase in SWMS rates and fees effective January 1, 2025. The recommended increase, shown in Table 1 below by customer grouping, will allow Solid Waste Management Services to maintain all current service levels and address future capital needs.

On April 17, 2023, a combined Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision, applications were submitted to permit the phased demolition of five existing seven-storey rental apartment buildings to allow for the construction of five new residential apartment buildings. The new buildings would consist of two rental apartment buildings and three condominium apartment buildings containing 2,021 residential units, comprising 577 rental and 1,444 condominium units, with heights ranging from 12 to 30 storeys. Included in the 577 rental units would be 548 rental units to replace the existing 548 rental units proposed to be demolished. A new public street, two new public parks, and a privately-owned publicly accessible space (“POPS”) are also proposed. A Rental Housing Demolition Application was also submitted on April 17, 2023. On August 9, 2024, the applicant appealed the applications to the Ontario Land Tribunal ("OLT") citing City Council’s failure to make a decision on the application within the 120-day time frame in the Planning Act. A Case Management Conference took place on October 18, 2024. The OLT has set a hearing for this m…

On May 7, 2024, a combined Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application was submitted for a development at 4875 Dundas Street West to permit a 45-storey (150-metre high) mixed use building with a four-storey base building. The proposal contains 488 residential units, of which 56 are rental replacement units and 432 are market-based condominium units, and 461 square metres are at-grade retail uses. The overall proposal results in a density of 11.7 times the area of the lot. A related Rental Housing Demolition Application has been submitted. This report reviews and recommends refusal of the application as the proposal is not consistent with the policies of the Official Plan, does not have appropriate regard for the policies of the Etobicoke Centre Secondary Plan and its size and scale are excessive.

Christianity is the most followed religion in our country, with more than half of the Canadian population identifying as members of the Christian faith. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms even mentions God in its very first sentence. In December, Christians around the world prepare for their annual celebrations commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ; also known as Christmas. During this time, Christian faith groups utilize literature, art, music, gastronomy, and architecture to tell the stories of Jesus and his compassion, love, acceptance and the Good News of the Gospel he brought. December is associated with the tradition of gift giving and gathering of family, friends, and people of all faiths. Christian organizations and places of worship offer religious services, unique events, and initiatives that highlight a strong Christian heritage during the month of December. Despite the days, weeks and even months being dedicated to other religions and heritages, there is no such recognition for the Christian faith in Canada. As proud citizens of this diverse and culturally rich nation, we believe it is important to recognize and celebrate the contributions of all religious a…

In the City of Toronto, we uphold the principle of voluntary blood and plasma donation, acknowledging its vital importance as a public good. Our commitment derives from the lessons of Canada’s tainted blood crisis, which tragically claimed approximately 8,000 lives. The subsequent Royal Krever Commission urged a fully voluntary, non-payment oriented blood and plasma donation system. Within our Ontario healthcare system, we perceive blood donations as a priceless public resource, underscoring the need to safeguard the integrity of the public, voluntary donor system. The Voluntary Blood Donations Act of Ontario strengthens this stance, legislating against the payment of donors and prohibiting donors from receiving financial compensation for their blood or plasma. Canada Blood Services plans to open five paid plasma clinics, including one in Toronto, by 2025. This issue needs immediate attention and action. The public health community has raised concerns about Grifols Pharmaceuticals' plans to open a Toronto clinic. It's vital we protect vulnerable residents from exploitation by for-profit plasma collection companies offering cash for blood-plasma, a predatory practice. In brin…
