In recognition of Toronto’s strong and diverse 2SLGBTQ+ communities, cultures, and histories, City staff were directed to engage with community advocacy groups, including Friends of Hanlan’s and Pride Toronto to develop ways to better safeguard 2SLGBTQ+ communities at Hanlan’s Point Beach. Hanlan’s Point Beach and its surrounding area are historically significant as a queer community hub and place of fellowship. As a part of the City’s ongoing work to recognize and celebrate these histories, staff in the City’s Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division have collaborated with Friends of Hanlan’s in conjunction with Pride Toronto and a donation in part by Waterfront BIA to propose a community funded permanent art installation by queer artist Travis Myers comprised of a 600-metre painted rainbow installation on Beach Road, near Hanlan’s Point Beach in Toronto Island Park. The in-kind donation will include the rainbow installation to be delivered by a contracted vendor. Resources for site preparation prior to installation are minimal and will be accommodated within the Parks, Forestry and Recreation’s operating budget. The Hanlan&rsq…

Carjackings and automobile thefts have more than doubled year to date in 2024. Toronto Police Services have reported that there have been 68 carjackings so far this year - an alarming 106 per cent increase over the same time period in 2023. Auto thefts in 2023 topped 12,200 vehicles, an increase from 9,821 cars stolen in 2022. As the increase in car jackings demonstrates, auto thefts have become increasingly brazen and violent including break-and-enters related to auto theft that are on the rise and have already climbed to 34 incidents so far this year, eclipsing the 22 reported for all of 2023. There is more that needs to be done to combat this urgent and escalating crisis. After unacceptable delays in action, the Provincial and Federal governments have finally begun the process to end this epidemic – but we must act swiftly and decisively. It is clear to all levels of government that these thefts are part of a network of organized crime, with vehicles being stolen and shipped internationally. In addition to actions addressing the vulnerabilities at our shipping ports and in the antiquated anti-theft technologies that are offered by automobile manufacturers; more effective…

Small businesses across Toronto are facing an unprecedented wave of criminal break and enters that are affecting the daily lives of these business owners who are already struggling to recover and survive in the post-COVID environment. These small businesses owners are our friends and neighbours and help make up the fabric of our main street communities keeping them vibrant and ensuring that we have opportunities to shop local. Taken on their own, these selfish crimes may seem petty, but they are happening at an alarming rate and have a devastating impact on small business owners who may not be able to afford security guards or sophisticated alarm systems. These break-ins cause a disproportionate impact on the cost of repairs, lost business and increased insurance to name a few. On February 7, 2024, Council passed my motion MM14.16 - Summit to Solve the Epidemic of Criminal Break-and-Enters Against Small Business in the City of Toronto. On March 1, 2024, I organized and hosted the Summit attended by Toronto Police Service, Toronto Association Business Improvement Areas, many Business Improvement Areas and small business along with retail industry associations and a payments provide…

This motion requests authority from City Council to amend the 2024-2033 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation to create three service improvement capital sub-projects in the Park Development project. The Toronto Islands Master Plan process has been ongoing since 2022. Through the efforts of queer advocacy groups, notably Friends of Hanlan’s, several initiatives have been undertaken to address urgent priorities related to the enhancement and protection of Hanlan’s beach, recognizing its importance to queer communities past and present. The 2024-2033 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Parks, Forestry and Recreation includes planned projects for the Toronto Islands. In order to address visitation needs that protect the natural environment and improve access, interim initiatives are being proposed. Parks, Forestry and Recreation are requesting Council authority to advance the implementation of new sensitive ecosystem protective fencing, bike parking, and minor trail access improvements. This motion will amend Parks, Forestry and Recreation's 2024-2033 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan to create three new capital sub-pr…

On November 27, 2023, the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) adopted a new Education Development Charges Bylaw that reinstated education development charges on missing middle housing forms like laneway suites and garden suites. As a result, households in the process of obtaining building permits for the purpose of constructing these housing forms are now being asked to pay ~$3,600 in development charges, despite previous guidance that none would be payable. The decision to reinstate education development charges on missing middle housing forms is counterintuitive to the City of Toronto’s goal to expand housing options in neighbourhoods, the Province of Ontario’s goal to rapidly increase the supply of housing, and our collective goal to increase housing affordability writ large. Therefore, this letter requests that the Province of Ontario amend the Education Act for the purpose of adding secondary dwelling units such as garden suites and laneway houses to the list of properties exempted from education development charges, thereby eliminating this gap in legislation.
