In 2021, City Council adopted a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions community-wide by 2040, and an interim target for 2030, through the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy. The Independent Electricity System Operator is developing an Integrated Regional Resource Plan for the electricity system in the Toronto Area. The City has identified the need for all levels of government and utilities to work toward developing an aligned, low-carbon electricity system to enable the City of Toronto to meet its climate goals. The City of Toronto and Toronto Hydro continue to actively engage with the Independent Electricity System Operator as part of the Integrated Regional Resource Plan development process. The City of Toronto’s TransformTO Net Zero Strategy indicates that meeting our climate goals and reaping the benefits to health, equity, prosperity and resilience, is heavily dependent on the availability of affordable, reliable low-carbon electricity ( 2021.IE26.16 ). The City identified the need for all parties to work together to transition Ontario’s electricity system away from natural gas to a resilient system focused on low-carbon energy sources, distributed local renewabl…

Lead poisoning poses a serious risk to the wellbeing of Torontonians, especially children and people who are pregnant. Exposure to even small amounts of lead can impede kids’ ability to learn, cause adults nerve and brain damage, and lead to miscarriages. In Toronto, upwards of 20,000 households have City-owned lead water services pipes, and likely more have privately-owned lead pipes, from which lead can leach into drinking water. Through the Priority Lead Water Service Replacement Program and Capital Water Service Replacement Program, the City of Toronto has taken important steps to eliminate lead pipes. However, landlords currently have no obligation to replace dangerous lead pipes on their properties, nor inform potentially vulnerable tenants that they are present. Tenants must not be kept in the dark. This motion seeks to protect tenants, especially those who are pregnant or have young children, by requesting that staff investigate requiring landlords to inspect their property for lead pipes, disclose the presence of lead pipes if they are found, and take action to prevent lead poisoning, either by replacing the pipes or providing their tenants with a high-quality filte…

On Thursday, May 16, 2024, the City of Toronto was deeply saddened by the passing of Councillor Jaye Robinson. She served as a Toronto City Councillor for over 14 years representing the Don Valley West community. Jaye persevered as the local representative while fighting cancer since 2019. During her time in office, Jaye Robinson was appointed as Chair of the Toronto Transit Commission (from 2018 - 2022), to the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee (from 2014 - 2018), and held numerous positions on other committees, including the FIFA World Cup 2026 Committee. She was a vigorous champion of Toronto's tree canopy, parks, road safety through Vision Zero and supporting a larger Toronto Police Service Hate Crimes Unit. Before her role as an elected official, Jaye Robinson held a management position in the City of Toronto’s Economic Development and Culture Division. During this period, she had a significant involvement in the development of several well-known events in Toronto including Nuit Blanche, Summerlicious, and Winterlicious. Naming a suitable site after Councillor Jaye Robinson is a fitting tribute to recognize her accomplishments and contributions to the City of To…

On April 25, 2024, the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused an application brought by the owner of 14 Lacewood Crescent for variances to City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to demolish an existing dwelling and construct a new detached dwelling including 3-storeys and increased massing (the "Application"). On May 13, 2024, the owner appealed the Committee's Application refusal to the Toronto Local Appeal Body. The Application presents outstanding concerns relating, but not limited to, height, and massing. The Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing commences on August 26, 2024. This motion is before City Council as the Notice of Intention to be a Party deadline is June 24, 2024 — as such this motion is urgent. The Notice of Hearing is attached as Attachment 2. This motion will authorize the City Solicitor to attend the Toronto Local Appeal Body hearing along with appropriate City staff to oppose the appeal. This motion also authorizes the City Solicitor to negotiate a settlement of the appeal and retain outside consultants as necessary.

This motion seeks a further update and information on the status, roadmap, outcome, and project start based on the Class Environmental Assessment Study for Basement Flooding Study Area 16 which was completed in 2012. It recommended project 16-03 to help mitigate flooding risks in the area that includes the subject property (107 Whitley Avenue). After the completion of the preliminary design in 2015, project 16-03 was found to be within the council-adopted cost per benefitting property threshold required for a project to proceed to detailed design and construction. The local Councillor has been advised that the project does not have a planned construction start year and that construction timing is influenced by factors such as design and construction timelines, infrastructure coordination opportunities, available budget envelopes, and the number of Basement Flooding Protection Program (BFPP) projects in the infrastructure planning and design process. Toronto Water has installed a water level sensor in a sewer on Whitley Avenue but at least one owner has argued that this will not solve the type of flooding that has occurred in the area. As the Environmental Assessment was completed…

The City of Toronto, together with CreateTO and Waterfront Toronto, is advancing a significant revitalization project for the Port Lands. The Port Lands is being transformed into a dynamic, inclusive mixed-use community, with housing at all levels of affordability combined with supportive community infrastructure. It will also continue as an employment hub, bolstering the City’s film, television, and creative sectors, alongside sustained port and industrial activities. The new Island, currently using the working name "Villiers Island" and receiving a permanent Indigenous name in the Fall of 2024, will be the first mixed-use residential community emerging through this transformation; defined by the renaturalized Don River it will develop into a sustainable and complete community. The Island is part of Toronto's broader waterfront revitalization, building on two decades of a successful tri-government collaboration. This model has spurred long-term economic growth and prosperity by flood protecting and remediating contaminated land, and developing both market and affordable housing. Waterfront revitalization has also delivered award-winning parks, public spaces, and architectur…
