In May 2021, Toronto Employment and Social Services reported to Council with details of Ontario's plan for Social Assistance Renewal which will impact recipients of the Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program and the municipal entities, including Toronto, that deliver Ontario Works. (May 6, 2021 Report to Council) This report focuses on a key area of change, Employment Services Transformation, and provides recommendations on what role the City should play in the transformed Employment Service System. Being implemented by the Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development, Employment Services Transformation is intended to integrate social assistance employment programs with Provincial employment programs, led by the introduction of new Employment Service System Managers in local labour market areas, with a goal of reducing duplication across systems, promoting greater integration between Employment Ontario and Ontario Works providers and improving employment outcomes for recipients of Ontario Works and the Ontario Disability Support Program. In developing recommendations on what role the City should play in the transformed employment service syste…

The Housing Now Initiative is a signature affordable housing program in Toronto and across Canada. It is also a key housing supply program to support the City's HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan and Housing Action Plan 2022-2026. Through the Housing Now Initiative, the City of Toronto has dedicated 21 of its prime transit-oriented sites, and earmarked another five pipeline sites, for the delivery of purpose-built affordable and market rental housing within mixed-income, mixed-use and complete communities. To-date, the City has committed over $1.3 billion in land value, capital funding and financial incentives to the program, making it one of the most significant municipal financial investments in housing underway today. Although the Housing Now Initiative was first approved by Council at its meeting on January 30 and 31, 2019, (Item EX 1.1), and ten sites have been re-zoned to-date, with six market offerings completed, construction has not yet started on any site. This is primarily due to slow downs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, current macroeconomic factors impacting the delivery of construction projects, and recent federal and provincial actions impacting Toronto. Specific…

This report outlines the results of further consultation on proposed changes for the UrbanHensTO backyard hens pilot program and responds to Council’s request to consider next steps for the program, including whether to expand the program City-wide and make it permanent. The pilot program expires on May 31, 2023. While the limited uptake in the pilot program has not resulted in any significant issues since its introduction in 2018, given the considerable costs and resource impacts required to safely administer a City-wide program and the emerging concern of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), this report recommends that the UrbanHensTO backyard hens pilot program concludes, and that consideration for further extension, expansion or making the program permanent be paused indefinitely. Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 349, Animals, prohibits animals in the order Galliformes (which includes hens), with the exception of hens registered under the UrbanHensTO pilot program and on lands zoned agricultural. The UrbanHensTO backyard hens pilot program began on March 2, 2018 and allows registered households to have up to four hens for the purposes of enjoyment and personal egg…

A basic principle that underlies the administration of fines and penalties is that there should be a proportionality between the offence and the fine or penalty. This helps preserve faith in the administration of justice. The fine for fare evasion on the Toronto Transit Commission is $195 ($235 once the other fees are added) and can rise over $400. The offence represents a loss of $3.25. In comparison, the offence for parking in a parking machine space without paying, or exceeding the time limit is $30. While the basis of each fine cannot be directly compared, the difference in fines between transit riders and drivers is quite stark and gives rise to a question of whether these fine amounts achieve the underlying objectives as part of the overall administration of justice. Ensuring that requested fine amounts are reviewed and reconsidered periodically would help restore confidence that the City is treating people fairly.

The Line 3 Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) has surpassed its life expectancy and is planned to be decommissioned by Q4 2023. The Scarborough Subway Extension (SSE) will ultimately replace the service in 2030. An interim bus replacement plan, to service the SRT's 35,000 daily customers with on street express buses at a combined frequency of up to 70 buses per hour, was developed and subsequently approved by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) board in April 2022, including proposals to install transit priority measures on the road network. Transportation Services is now requesting approval, on behalf of the TTC, to install transit priority measures (TPMs) to support the on-street express bus replacement service. The approved route connects customers between Kennedy Station and Scarborough Town Centre Station with intermediate stops at Kennedy Road, Ellesmere Road and Midland Avenue. A suite of transit priority measures are proposed to support the bus replacement service plan: (1) priority bus lanes on Kennedy Road, Ellesmere Road, Midland Avenue and Eglinton Avenue East designed as a one-way loop routing between Kennedy Station and Scarborough Town Centre Station; (2) queue-jump l…
