Local Arts Service Organizations (LASOs) are independent, not-for-profit, community arts organizations that deliver customized and responsive arts and culture programs, events and services at a local level in outside-the-core neighbourhoods across the city. There are six Local Arts Service Organizations and they advance Economic Development and Culture (EDC)'s divisional strategic direction of promoting cultural vibrancy, offering low-barrier, free and low-cost arts participation opportunities to communities across the city. The Local Arts Service Organizations also provide critical support and capacity-building opportunities to local artists and arts organizations. Through EDC, the City of Toronto, provides financial support to the six Local Arts Service Organizations, subject to annual contribution agreements. The 2024 Operating Budget for Economic Development and Culture includes a total of $1,817,494 to fund the six Local Arts Service Organizations: Arts Etobicoke, East End Arts, Lakeshore Arts, North York Arts, Scarborough Arts and UrbanArts. The Local Arts Service Organizations received an additional $80,000 inflationary increase through the budget process, bringing the 2024…

The Downsview lands present a unique opportunity for the public and private sector to collaborate closely with community partners to build Canada’s largest development project. Over 30+ years and at full build-out, it is estimated that the Downsview Secondary Plan Area will accommodate approximately 115,000 new residents (63,000 units) and 52,000 workers, representing one of the largest city-building efforts in the history of Toronto. This is a transformative opportunity to stitch existing and new communities together, enabling the development of more resilient, equitable and connected communities. As an outcome of the Update Downsview Study, a comprehensive planning framework for the Downsview Area will be brought forward for Council approval. The Update Downsview Study deliverables include: Downsview Secondary Plan; Downsview Community Development Plan; Downsview Urban Design Guidelines; Zoning By-law for Meanwhile Uses; and Master Environmental Servicing Plan. With the exception of the Community Development Plan, the Study deliverables are proceeding through Planning and Housing Committee during the same Council cycle as the Community Development Plan. Growing evidence su…

The City of Toronto is the largest municipality in Canada and the economic engine of the province and country. With this comes an important national responsibility and opportunity to deliver services, execute projects, and uphold strategic priorities that will benefit the region and other orders of government and contribute to Canada’s overall economic health, social standing, and environmental sustainability. Like many North American cities, the majority of the City of Toronto’s infrastructure was built during the post-war period and the onset of the industrial period. The European experience – with much older infrastructure – tells us that, over time, cities will need to allocate an increasing part of their budgets to ensure that basic infrastructures continue to be in a state of good repair (SOGR) to serve their constituents. In addition, the far-reaching implications of climate change present new challenges to building sustainable and innovative adaptations that rely upon green, renewable, and adaptive technologies. The 2019 Canadian Infrastructure Report Card (CIRC) highlights that a concerning amount of Canadian municipal infrastructure is in poor and…

On April 10, 2024, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing introduced Bill 185 – Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act. The proposed Bill affects 17 acts, including the City of Toronto Act, Planning Act, Development Charges Act and others. Bill 185 has reached second reading and was referred to the Province’s Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs. On April 10th, the Province also released a revised Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (the "Planning Statement") and a new Minister Zoning Order (MZO) framework. The Planning Statement, which if adopted, will replace the existing Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 (the “PPS”) and include some policies from A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (the “Growth Plan”). The Growth Plan is proposed to be repealed. The Province's 30-day commenting period on the proposed Bill 185, the revised Planning Statement and the new MZO framework closes on May 10, 2024. Multiple divisions are reviewing Bill 185, the revised Planning Statement and new MZO framework. Staff will provide a supplementary report containing analysis and recommendations on the proposed legislative a…

Recently, constituents in Etobicoke North have raised the issue of commercial vehicles parking in residential driveways. The City-wide zoning by-law 569-2013 prohibits approximately ten types of vehicles from parking on private residential properties. These prohibitions include vehicles with more than six wheels, large industrial vehicles, or commercially licensed vehicles to name a few. City Council adopted MM43.12 in May 2022 which directed the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the Executive Director, Municipal Licensing and Standards to conduct a review of zoning regulations that restrict outdoor parking of commercially licensed vehicles on private property in residential areas. Through this motion, a report back to Planning and Housing was requested along with the consideration to provide more convenient parking for commercial vehicles near their residence. However, the City’s strategic priorities in addressing the housing crisis has put this matter on the back burner. Given the changing workplace environment because of COVID, a thorough review of this policy must be done to support and understand the diverse needs of Torontonians.…
