The purpose of this report is to update Schedule C of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 67, Fair Wage (the "Fair Wage Schedule"). The Fair Wage Schedule is comprised of six schedules for the following classifications of work: General Classifications, Heavy Construction Work; Industrial, Commercial, Institutional (I.C.I.) Work; Road Building; Sewer and Watermain Construction; and Utility Work. The Fair Wage Schedule is used with the Fair Wage Policy, being Schedule A to Chapter 67, to harmonize hourly wages, vacation and holiday pay, benefits, and weekly hours of work received by organized and unorganized workers performing City work and to create a level playing field for contractors bidding on City contracts. An updated Fair Wage Schedule is recommended to Council for approval every three years. Updating the Fair Wage Schedule took longer to complete than expected due to a number of factors, including limited staffing resources and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current Fair Wage Schedule covers 2016 to 2019 and must be updated to reflect 2019 to 2022 rates. The updated Fair Wage Schedule set out in Attachment "A" reflects wage increases recognized by the construction labo…

The purpose of this report is to request City Council approval to close the F.G. Gardiner Expressway and Don Valley Parkway on the Sundays of June 4, 2023, June 2, 2024 and June 1, 2025 for the purpose of the Bike for Brain Health event in support of the Baycrest Foundation. Historically, it has been a practice to seek authority for 3 year periods in order to give event organizers some certainty for planning these annual events.

The City of Toronto is facing a sharp increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness. Toronto's shelter system is unable to support the number of residents in need, placing extra pressures on the city's drop-in and warming centres. While the best Public Health outcome is to ensure all residents of Toronto have safe and secure housing, measures must be taken now to protect those individuals in need.

The CaféTO program has provided financial, administrative and technical assistance to Toronto restaurant and bar operators and has been a key economic recovery support program for an industry adversely impacted by COVID-19. The sudden proliferation of on-street outdoor dining opportunities has had a transformational effect on streets across North America. The Toronto context is noteworthy given the involvement of the municipality in taking the lead operational role in procuring equipment and installing safe curb lane closure areas for restaurants. To provide the maximum level of economic support to the restaurant industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, between 2020 and 2022 the City absorbed all operational costs associated with the delivery of the CaféTO program, and waived all café permit, transfer and application fees. In late 2021, City Council approved a plan to transition many of CaféTO's temporary processes to permanent parameters through a phased approach beginning with a return to standard sidewalk café permits. City Council also provided additional direction to establish criteria for a permanent program for curb lane cafés. This r…

This report provides an update on the COVID-19 Shelter Transition and Relocation Plan, which was adopted by Council on April 6, 2022 to guide a phased, gradual transition from temporary shelter sites. This report provides an update on the phase 1 work plan approved in April 2022, and outlines next steps for phase 2 of the plan in 2023. There are currently 23 temporary sites operating as part of the City's shelter system, including shelter hotels and non-hotel sites. There is also a program that operates as a partnership with an Indigenous service provider independent of the City's shelter system. These temporary sites, the majority of which were created at the beginning of the pandemic to support physical distancing requirements in the shelter system, shelter approximately 3,000 individuals and are now providing about 30% of the spaces in the City's shelter system. With the wind-down of COVID-19 response funding for shelters from other orders of government, a thoughtful approach to gradually closing the sites is needed. A sudden reversal of these spaces would cause significant disruption to the vital services delivered through the sites and the vulnerable Torontonians who rely upo…

It is time for a new fiscal deal for cities. This discussion which must be had with the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario has to be informed by up-to-date information on the revenue tools that we have available. In 2016, I along with Council requested a report be undertaken to study the potential revenue tools available under the City of Toronto Act which acknowledged at the time the unsustainable financing model of Canada's largest city. That report led to a Council decision on expressway tolls, the institution of the hotel tax, and harmonizing of Municipal Land Transfer Act rates along with other minor changes. While expressway tolls were ultimately rejected by the provincial government of the day it did result in additional gas tax revenue from the Province at the time. Since then, we have also instituted a new vacant home tax which is in its first year in 2023. While the remaining tools we have are limited in addressing the scale of the problem, I am recommending that we complete a revised study of revenue generating options available to the City under the City of Toronto Act and in particular complete an in depth feasibility study of the commercial parking le…
