I was among the many Torontonians shocked to learn the Province of Ontario was contemplating ways to change or end “security of tenure.” While I am relieved that the Province has withdrawn plans to consult on this cut to renters’ rights, Bill 60 is still very concerning. Fifty percent of Torontonians rent their homes. They have the right to feel secure, without fear of baseless evictions or needlessly paying more of their hard-earned income towards rent. Some have claimed that the changes in Bill 60 will incentivize developers to build, however our experience at the City shows us that making it easier to evict renters is not what builds housing. Our successful Rental Housing Supply Program is waiving development charges for projects that build new rental supply and include affordable units. Through this program, Toronto is building 8,177 new homes in 15 developments. This program and other City-led and City-supported projects accounted for 65 percent of all housing starts in Toronto this year and we are on track to build 25,000 homes this year and next. If the Province wants to build more rental housing, they should join us and make it more affordable to build ho…

The purpose of this report is to provide City Council with an update on key directives pertaining to the Toronto Ferry Service, including the implementation status of recommendations arising from the operational review, progress on the fabrication and delivery of the new electric vessels and actions to improve the customer experience at Jack Layton Ferry Terminal. In October 2024, City Council directed staff to conduct a review of the Toronto Ferry Service. Staff provided the findings of the review in a report to City Council in March 2025, including recommendations to strengthen fleet maintenance, asset management, safety oversight, and workforce planning. The review also included guiding principles for organizational alignment, which informed staff’s decision to reposition the ferry operation within the Fleet Services Division. Parks & Recreation and Fleet Services continue to collaborate to prepare for this transition, which will take place on November 1, 2025, ensuring continuity of service, knowledge transfer, and effective change management. The fabrication of the City’s two new electric vessels is underway, with the first ferry scheduled for delivery in Q4 2026…

As the largest city in Canada, the people and businesses of Toronto are significant consumers of materials and goods, a majority of which end up in landfills that are quickly approaching capacity. A circular economy refers to a society-wide approach to production and consumption that aims to eliminate landfill waste and maximize resources by recovering as much as possible from used products. Transitioning to a circular economy not only supports sustainability, but also sparks innovation, creates jobs, addresses climate change and reduces costs related to waste management. The City has been working on its circular economy transition since Council set an aspirational goal in 2016 to work towards zero waste and to make Toronto the first municipality in the province of Ontario with a circular economy. Building on this work, the City has developed its first "Circular Economy Road Map" (the Road Map) (Attachment 1). The Road Map was shaped by valuable input from residents, Indigenous people, industry and peer cities around the world, including London (UK), Glasgow, Rotterdam and members of the Canadian Circular Cities and Regions Initiative. It sets out a vision for Toronto’s circ…

The legacies of Dr. Jane Goodall and Dr. Anne Innis Dagg have reshaped global and Canadian understanding of wildlife and conservation. At the Toronto Zoo, young people get inspired every day to follow in their footsteps with curiosity about the natural world and how we can respect and learn from it. Dr. Jane Goodall has inspired generations worldwide through her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees and her tireless advocacy for conservation and youth empowerment through the Roots and Shoots program. Dr. Anne Innis Dagg, a Canadian zoologist, author, and trailblazer in animal behaviour research, is internationally recognized as the pioneer of modern giraffe field research and a tireless advocate for both wildlife conservation and the advancement of women in science. Both Dr. Goodall and Dr. Innis Dagg embody values of courage, perseverance, and hope for protecting the natural world, and their legacies can ignite passion in young people to take positive action for our future. Access to nature provides students with unique experiential learning opportunities that cannot be replicated in a classroom, fostering empathy, critical thinking, curiosity, and a deeper understanding of biod…

Intimate Partner Violence is a pervasive and urgent issue that affects individuals, families, and communities across Toronto. It manifests in various forms—physical, emotional, financial, sexual, and coercive control—and its impact extends far beyond the individuals directly involved, leaving lasting harm on children, families, and communities. There are many services available to Torontonians, including shelters, hotlines, and crisis programs—but many people don’t know they exist, or feel too afraid or ashamed to reach out. Advocacy groups continue to sound the alarm that professionals are seeing increased cases of physical violence, confinement, and financial and emotional abuse in recent years. For example, Toronto’s Barbra Schlifer Clinic alone served 18,000 survivors from April 2023-March 2024. Recognizing the severity of this issue, Toronto City Council, led by Mayor Olivia Chow, declared intimate partner and gender-based violence an epidemic on July 20, 2023. This declaration was passed unanimously and aligns Toronto with over 30 Ontario municipalities that have made similar declarations, following the recommendations of the 2022 Coroner’…

Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in Toronto. Its courts are in high demand, with hundreds now across our city. In 2023, City Council directed a report back as part of the reassessment of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Plan a review of the need for pickleball provision across the City, this work is underway. Since this direction, other groups, including the City of Ottawa and British Columbia Recreation and Parks Association have developed their own pickleball strategies which have included noise mitigation efforts, due to the loud and frequent sound of the hard plastic ball hitting a solid paddle. As pickleball popularity grows, City Councillors offices are receiving more frequent complaints related to noise from these courts. To address these concerns holistically, implementation of the Parks and Recreation Facilities Plan’s recommendations on Pickleball should include considerations for noise impacts generated by this activity.
