The Council-adopted 2023 Housing Action Plan legalized A New Regulatory Framework for Multi-Tenant Houses. Through this Report, Council directed Staff to provide exemptions from certain City fees and charges for Multi-Tenant Houses. An exemption was not advanced for the parkland dedication requirement, under Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 415-30 (A). ‘Dwelling Rooms within a rooming house’ are currently exempted for Development Charges under Chapter 415-6 (B) of the Municipal Code. An amendment to the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement will provide consistency across the different growth funding tools for this form of housing. This motion seeks authority for Parks, Forestry and Recreation, Municipal Licensing and Standards, City Solicitor and the Chief Financial Officer to amend the Municipal Code to provide an exemption from the parkland dedication requirement for Dwelling Rooms and to make additional changes to improve readability and clarity of the current exemptions. Additionally, the Multi-Tenant Housing Framework includes several types of accommodation that are fully exempt from the Framework requirements, including st…

As a result of climate change, Toronto is experiencing more frequent and severe storms, resulting in flooding events that impact our road and transit network, our homes and businesses, and our infrastructure. While the City must invest in meeting our emissions reduction goals, we must also invest in mitigating the impacts of climate change and making our city more resilient. In April 2024, City Council directed staff to better integrate climate resilience across all City of Toronto operations, and to identify a list of climate resilience priorities for investment. While this work is underway, we know that flood mitigation and adaptation will be a critical component to our City’s resilience strategy. The City currently offers a Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program to help people install backwater valves and sump pumps, as well as free front-yard trees and subsidized backyard trees. In the past, the City offered low-cost rain barrels at Community Environment Days as part of the Voluntary Downspout Disconnection Program. This was discontinued over a decade ago. Investments in programs that help reduce paved areas, create more permeable surfaces, and increase groundwater…

The City of Toronto provides year-round ferry services for residents, passengers and vehicles traveling to and from Toronto Island. Due to the aging ferry fleet, City Council directed Parks, Forestry and Recreation to advance the Ferry Fleet Replacement Strategy, beginning with the construction of two new, fully electric ferry vessels: a new passenger and vehicle vessel and new passenger vessel. The delivery of the two new vessels will increase the City's ferry capacity by over 400 passengers per trip for the passenger and vehicle vessel and nearly 1,000 passengers per trip for the passenger vessel. Delivery of the new vessels will also enhance the passenger experience with contemporary ferry designs and amenities, reduce anticipated repair costs of the current fleet, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions as the ferry fleet transitions from diesel to electric. City Council initiated the Ferry Fleet Replacement Strategy with preliminary funding allocated in 2015. During the course of the design process, in 2022, City Council established the objective of constructing fully electric vessels (rather than hybrid diesel-electric vessels). The recommended design responds to t…

At July 19, 2022 City Council Meeting, Council adopted 2022.MM.47.90 authorizing the release of Section 37 funds from a development towards Public Realm and Streetscape Improvements related to “Manor Road Square” as prescribed in Official Plan Amendment 405 as a City- Initiated Public Realm Move. The total funds authorized for release to Rockport Yonge and Manor Inc., was $711,800, inclusive of HST. Due to cost escalations, settlement of design for Manor Square and time delay in entering into a construction agreement, Transportation Services staff have confirmed that the revised project cost for the works is $1,030,400 (inclusive of HST). This results in $318,600 additional costs that are above the Owner’s obligation. This motion requests authority from Council to amend the 2024-2033 Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services to release additional funds to Rockport Yonge and Manor Inc., to implement construction and related costs associated with streetscape improvements on Manor Road West, fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Fund) community benefits that have been received and are eligible for these purposes. This motion requires ur…

The purpose of this Motion is to declare April 11 to 17, 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week in Toronto. This week will focus on raising awareness about Black maternal health, supporting Black-led initiatives, and encouraging community involvement. The Black Health Plan for Ontario seeks to enhance Black maternal health by providing equitable access to prenatal care and culturally competent services and it highlights the need for data collection to better understand and address health disparities. Toronto is home to a vibrant and diverse Black community that faces unique socio-economic and cultural challenges. From the 2021 Census, 10% of Torontonians identify as Black. In our city, Black maternal health is often overlooked due to limited data on maternal health outcomes, systemic anti-Black racism, and a lack of targeted public initiatives. Research shows that Black pregnant people experience higher rates of stillbirths, and poor maternal and infant outcomes such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and congenital heart disease, compared to White individuals. For example, a study from McGill University found that 8.9% of Black women gave birth to pre…

The City of Toronto generates more than 20 percent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product and 50 percent of Ontario’s Gross Domestic Product. Despite our economic strength and contribution, we find ourselves consistently short on resources to fulfill our potential as a world-class city. As the largest city in Canada and the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto has unique challenges and responsibilities that cannot be adequately supported by an operational budget that is primarily built on property taxes. As we advocate for a new fiscal framework or a “new deal”, we can learn from world-class cities around the globe. A jurisdictional scan of fiscal frameworks can help us strengthen our advocacy for the support of higher levels of government towards a more robust budget for the city of Toronto.
