Culture Connects: An Action Plan for Culture in Toronto (2025-2035) sets an ambitious 10-year vision for Toronto as a city for culture and creativity, where everyone, everywhere, can discover, experience, and create culture. This vision positions Toronto as an undeniable global cultural capital, celebrated for its exciting and expansive cultural and creative industry offerings as well as its accomplished talent. Culture is engrained in this city, making Toronto a better place to live, work, and visit. It drives economic growth, strengthens community bonds, and promotes social well-being, helping to create thriving, healthy communities. It has been over a decade since the City’s last culture plan, Creative Capital Gains, was introduced in 2011. Since then, there have been significant economic, cultural, and societal shifts – and a devastating global pandemic. Emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, Toronto’s culture sector is at an inflection point and faces great instability. Challenges include access to space, affordability, equity, changing audience habits, and sponsor supports. As emphasized in public consultations, the Action Plan also has a significant focus on…

In July 2018, the “Better Local Government Act” was introduced by the Government of Ontario. Bill 5 would shrink Toronto City Council from 44 seats (although 47 were contested in the 2018 election) to 25 seats. As problems were encountered with the legislation, it was replaced by Bill 31 “The Efficient Local Government Act.” A battle ensured between the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario in the courts, which resulted in a 5-4 Supreme Court decision in October 2021 upholding the law. The 2018 election took place with the election of 25 Councillors and Mayor. Toronto now has perhaps the most populous wards of any major city in in North America and Europe. In order to manage this volume of work, at its first meeting of the 2018-2022 term of office, Council increased their staff budgets and in a 18-8 vote Council passed the following: 14a - Motion to Amend Item (Additional) moved by Councillor Anthony Perruzza (Carried) That City Council request the City Manager to review Councillor compensation and recommend an appropriate level of compensation for Toronto City Councillors to City Council by the first quarter of 2019 and to obtain advice from one or m…

The Toronto Transit Commission issued a public notice of completion for an Environmental Project report for the conversion of the Scarborough Rapid Transit Right-of-Way, Busway project on October 3, 2024 with a commenting period for stakeholders and the public closing on November 4, 2024. The Report, along with any comments submitted will be reviewed by the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks for final approval. The feedback from my community on the placement of a stop at Tara Avenue and Mooregate Avenue as one of three stops along the route has raised concerns from the surrounding community. Following the Toronto Transit Commission Community Consultation on September 24th, 2024, my office has received multiple e-mails, phone calls and a petition signed by 176 residents, submitted to this Council as part of the public record, opposing plans to install this stop. It culminated in a virtual community meeting with the Their concerns include lack of advance communication in identifying Tara & Mooregate Avenues as a stop on the Line 3 Busway, increased foot traffic from outside of the area, the accessibility of the planned location and the grading, traffic congestion an…

The recent provincial Bill 212 seeks to overturn the decisions and work of our locally elected Toronto City Council. If passed, the Bill means one government would, at tremendous cost to the taxpayer and without collaboration, undo another government's work. As Mayor, it is my responsibility to stand up for the decision-making authority of City Council and the expertise of our professional public service which supports that decision-making. As such, I am working with City Staff to review the City's options and will provide recommendations on this item prior to the City Council meeting on November 13, 2024.

The landlord of 80 Guestville Avenue has issued 26 N13 notices to tenants, claiming the need to renovate their units. Although building permits have been issued, no work has started on any unit, indicating a likely renoviction—an increasingly common tactic landlords use to evict tenants and raise rents. The Building Department has the authority to revoke a building permit if work has not begun within six months of issuance. Revoking these permits would halt the evictions and protect tenants from displacement. This motion is deemed urgent as N13 notices have been issued, and time is critical to prevent tenants from facing eviction.
