This report recommends approval of the application to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit two mixed use buildings (35 and 17 storeys) with a shared L-shaped podium at 507, 511 and 513 Victoria Park Avenue and 4, 6, and 14 Thora Avenue. The development proposal includes 41,284 square meters of residential gross floor area, 380 square metres of retail space, 641 square metres of community space, and 184 square metres of private daycare/nursery space. The development is supported by 2,040 square metres of indoor and outdoor amenity space, 418 bicycle parking spaces, and 104 vehicle parking spaces. The report also contemplates two separate parkland matters. The first is a proposed 1,432.7 square metre public park at 7 and 11 Thora Avenue (the "Land Exchange Parkland"), which would be secured through a land exchange involving City-owned lands at 6 Thora Avenue. The second is a separate request for the applicant to make efforts to secure land for an off-site parkland dedication to satisfy their parkland dedication requirements, pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act (the "Off-site Parkland"). The proposed development site includes City-owned property, including a vac…

City Council adopted the Commemorative Framework at its July 2022 meeting. The Framework provides guidance to the public, Elected Officials, and City staff regarding the commemorative naming and renaming of streets and City properties, and the consideration of proposals for new and existing commemorative monuments. The proposal to name the new long-term care home at 4610 Finch Avenue East in honour of Bernice Redmon advances the City’s broader equity and commemorative objectives by recognizing the contributions of a historically underrepresented individual, while supporting more inclusive storytelling in public spaces in alignment with the City’s Commemorative Framework. Seniors Services and Long-Term Care, in collaboration with Economic Development and Culture Division and Strategic Partnerships reviewed the application to name the property. The review concluded that the naming proposal complies with the criteria of the City of Toronto Property Naming Policy and aligns with the Guiding Principles for Commemoration, as outlined in the City of Toronto’s Commemorative Framework.

Hanlan’s Point Beach is Canada’s oldest surviving queer space and the site of Canada’s first Gay Pride gathering. The beach and surrounding landscape continue to serve as an important public space of cultural, recreational, and natural heritage for Toronto. The site is also experiencing shoreline erosion, dune degradation, loss of usable beach area, and pressure on existing natural areas. Timely planting and sand renourishment are required to support shoreline resilience, public access, ecological restoration, and the preservation of Hanlan’s Point Beach cultural heritage. The City of Toronto recognizes the tireless work of advocates for this unique space, including the Hanlan’s Point Working Group, Island Working Group, Indigenous Advisory Circle, and Friends of Hanlan’s. Reason for Urgency: Planning work for planting and beach renourishment at Hanlan’s Point is already underway and additional direction is needed.

The AIDS Memorial (Toronto), located in Barbara Hall Park in the Church-Wellesley Village, is one of Toronto’s most significant sites of public remembrance. First emerging in 1988 as a community act of naming, mourning, and public witness, and made permanent in 1993, The AIDS Memorial centres the names of people who died of AIDS. It continues to receive names and remains a living memorial to a continuing epidemic, a national loss, and the dignity of people living with HIV. The memorial is located in Ward 13, but its meaning is not limited to one ward. It is a civic memorial of national significance. There are people living with HIV, and people who have died of AIDS, in every ward of this city. The memorial holds grief, history, activism, and memory from across Toronto, Ontario, and Canada. More than 21,000 Canadians have died of AIDS-related illness, and more than 65,000 people in Canada are currently living with HIV. The impact of HIV/AIDS has been borne especially by communities already facing stigma, exclusion, and institutional neglect, including gay and bisexual men, trans people, African, Caribbean and Black communities, Indigenous communities, sex workers, people who…

The Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot, launched with overwhelming support from local businesses and the Church Wellesley Village Business Improvement Area aims to transform Church Street into a vibrant, car-free community space. A core focus of this pilot is improving street-level accessibility along a corridor where many older storefronts are physically inaccessible due to steps and barriers. By closing the street to vehicles, an unobstructed emergency lane will run down the centre lanes to serve as the primary pedestrian walkway and sidewalk. Local businesses are enthusiastically extending their outdoor patios directly onto the curblane, creating new, seamless access points for visitors. To guarantee safe navigation, each patio will maintain a strict one-meter clearance zone, ensuring an entirely unobstructed path for mobility devices, wheelchairs, and emergency personnel. This motion will provide the General Manager, Transportation Services additional authority to make real-time adjustments to traffic management and allow a flexible, adaptive approach to optimize a highly accessible streetscape that fully supports the community and local economy. This motion is urgent as th…

Toronto’s Peace Garden was originally established in 1984, as a physical expression of the City’s commitment to peace, and opposition to nuclear warfare. The symbolism of the garden is informed by the context of its creation at the height of the Cold War. The garden’s gazebo represents community and civilization, the vulnerability of which is manifested in its incomplete roof. Central to the garden is the eternal flame, kindled in Hiroshima, which is surrounded by waters from Nagasaki – serving as a memorial, and a message to future generations about the need for ongoing work and commitment to build and maintain peace among each other, and across the world. The creation of this space was highly consequential. Then-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau attended the site on March 5th, 1984, to turn the first sod on the project on the City’s 150th anniversary. The eternal flame was lit later that year by Pope John Paul II, who also poured waters from Nagasaki into the garden’s pool. Queen Elizabeth II visited the site in October 1984 to formally dedicate the Peace Garden as an expression of Torontonian’s commitment to peace. Today, more than 40 years…
