On October 4, 2023, the Committee of Adjustment (the "Committee") refused an application brought by the owner of 169 Parkmount Road for a variance to the provisions of the City of Toronto Zoning By-law 569-2013 to construct a two-story garden suite with integral garage in the rear yard (the "Application"). A copy of the Committee's decision is attached. On October 23, 2023, the owner appealed the Committee's decision to refuse the Application to the Toronto Local Appeal Body.

World Interfaith Harmony Week is an annual event observed during the first week of February, after United Nations General Assembly designation in 2010. The General Assembly pointed out that "mutual understanding and interreligious dialogue constitute important dimensions of a culture of peace and established World Interfaith Harmony Week as a way to promote harmony between all people regardless of their faith." All around the world, organizations and individuals host events during the first week of February to help neighbours of different faiths get to know each other and build a foundation for more peaceful and friendly communities.

The New York City Mayoral Declaration on Addressing Hate, Extremism and Polarisation was signed at Strong Cities Network Fourth Global Summit on September 23, 2023. Over 100 mayors from around the world endorsed this commitment to fight hate. The list of mayors supporting the declaration include Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow. Mayors from Kitchener, Montreal and Victoria were among the signatories. The declaration enumerates a series of practical steps that mayors commit to take at home to address threats while promoting human rights. Consistent with the Strong Cities mission, the declaration includes a commitment to continue to share with and learn from each other in addressing these challenges. With Toronto perhaps the most diverse city in the world it has a grave responsibility to promote social cohesion and fight hate in all its forms. Signatories to the declaration recognize "that unlocking the potential of city-led action in addressing hate, extremism and polarisation can make an immediate and sustainable diference to the peace and security of local communities and contribute to global efforts to strengthen social cohesion, promote stability and prevent conflict."

It has been brought to my attention that there have been recent complaints made to the City about the Etobicoke Coat of Arms displayed in the Etobicoke Civic Centre as being offensive or racist. There is a Coat of Arms prominently displayed in the Community Council Chamber, and another in the Committee Room. The Coat of Arms was used on the official seal of the former City of Etobicoke and has been used extensively from 1977 to amalgamation in 1998, both in physical form and on numerous documents and mediums. It is recognized and highly regarded by many. I believe that it is important that City Council and the public be made aware of the status of these complaints, and that Council receive information about the Coat of Arms.
