This report responds to the June 26, 2024, City Council directive to staff to develop a “Hamilton-style” renovictions bylaw (Renovictions Bylaw) and implementation framework to protect tenants and prevent "renovictions". A renoviction is when a landlord illegitimately evicts a tenant by alleging that vacant possession of a rental unit is needed to undertake renovations or repairs. Renovictions can include refusing to allow a tenant who has exercised their right of first refusal to return post-renovation, illegally raising the rent on a returning tenant, or not undertaking major renovations after evicting renters. This results in the displacement of tenants, the permanent loss of affordable market rental housing, and contributes to rising homelessness in Toronto. As rent policies and landlord-tenant matters fall under provincial jurisdiction, the City of Toronto has urged the Province to take action against renovictions, including enforcing the Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, 2023 (Bill 97), improving Landlord and Tenant Board processes, introducing vacancy rent control, requiring temporary relocation assistance during renovations, and creating a centralized…

This report responds to MM5.3 – Place Names in the Port Lands and EX13.5 - New Island, New Beginnings: Furthering Reconciliation and an Indigenous Cultural Framework for the Port Lands. Over the last year, City staff, in collaboration with MinoKamik Collective and LURA Consulting, facilitated an Indigenous community engagement process to discover, reflect on, and determine Indigenous names for the new island in the Port Lands. The proposed names were lifted up by an Indigenous Advisory Circle (the Circle), comprised of Elders, Knowledge Keepers, language speakers, youth and community members. The process was rooted in Indigenous traditions, teachings and cultural protocols, involving ceremonies, site walks, and deep discussions. The Indigenous Advisory Circle met seven times between April and October 2024. In addition, broader Indigenous communities were engaged at community events, in a survey and in other ways. Circle discussions centered on the area’s history as former marshland, the cultural significance of the land and water, and long-term environmental restoration and stewardship, with a focus on water and native plants. The historical erasure of Indigenous langu…

My office has heard concerns from residents in the Beach Triangle neighborhood about the lack of safe pedestrian crossings along Kingston Road, a major arterial route. Following a successful community petition showing strong support, I am recommending the installation of traffic control signals at Kingston Road and Columbine Avenue. This measure will significantly improve pedestrian safety and ensure safer, more accessible travel for all.

The City of Toronto has experienced an increase in violent crimes, with many incidents involving individuals released on bail under conditions that may not adequately prevent further offences. Ensuring the safety of Toronto’s residents is a key responsibility of City Council, and collaboration within the justice sector among all orders of government is crucial to maintain the integrity of the justice system. Recent concerns have been raised regarding the risks posed to public safety by repeat offenders and those involved in violent and gun-related crimes. The Criminal Code of Canada guarantees the right to reasonable bail unless just cause for detention is demonstrated, requiring the court to balance the presumption of innocence with the need to protect public safety. Toronto’s police services, along with many other stakeholders across the province, have identified significant challenges in the current bail system, particularly in cases where individuals accused of violent offences are released without adequate oversight or conditions to mitigate public risk. The Federal and Provincial governments have the authority to implement bail policy changes, including stricter…

The direction from City Council at its July 2024 meeting on PH14.13 has generated much interest and attention. City Planning were initially directed to report to the October 24th meeting of Toronto and East York Community Council. However after the community consultation meeting on September 19th a number of important issues were raised that require additional consideration in the report. Reporting to the October 24th meeting of TEYCC will simply not allow for an in-depth analysis of all the information that has been raised in the short time since that meeting. This would also allow for City Staff to meet with residents of Craven Road and Parkmount Road.

Toronto is facing housing and homelessness crises - one where rising rents are creating unaffordable conditions for middle-income earners to live and work in the city; while a second crisis is due to a lack of deeply affordable and supportive homes for those with low-incomes, or who are experiencing homelessness, and often physical, mental health and/or addiction challenges. These crises are being driven by factors that range from inadequate housing supply, low wages and social assistance rates that have not kept pace with the rising cost of living, and structural inequities that disproportionately impact Indigenous, Black, and other racialized groups. As noted in the Perspective on the Rental Housing Roundtable report, these intersecting but separate crises require different policy solutions. The City of Toronto and its partners are taking a range of actions across the housing continuum that are guided by the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan ("HousingTO Plan") and the Housing Action Plan (2022-2026). Together, these plans provide a blueprint for comprehensive action that is rooted in the Toronto Housing Charter - Opportunity for All which recognizes that all orders of government,…
