On November 20, 2023, the City deemed complete an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for 49-59 Lawrence Avenue East to permit the construction of a 9-storey residential building, consisting of 40 units and 41 vehicle parking spaces to be located in two-levels of underground parking. The applicant appealed City Council's neglect or failure to make a decision on its application for the Zoning By-law Amendment, to the Ontario Land Tribunal on April 23, 2024. The City Solicitor requires further directions for upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal hearings scheduled for January 20, 2025. This report is urgent as the City Solicitor requires updated instructions prior to procedural deadlines in advance of the hearing, including the deadline for the exchange of witness statements on December 13, 2024. Consideration of this matter should not be deferred.

It has been over a decade since the launch of Collaborating for Competitiveness, the City of Toronto’s last plan to advance economic development, with a focus on job creation and economic growth. Since then, new trends, challenges, and opportunities have emerged both at the global and the local level, reshaping the city's and regional industry competitiveness, supply chains, workforce dynamics and land use pressures. Given its fundamental strengths, Toronto is well positioned to face these challenges and leverage opportunities toward an economy that is competitive, inclusive, and advancing towards net zero emissions. Achieving this vision, however, will require a long-term plan with impactful actions, dedicated resources, and intentional and collaborative coordination with partners. Before aspirational targets for inclusive and sustainable economic growth can be met, the integrity of basic City services and the foundation they create for economic growth must first be addressed. This Action Plan sets out a vision to both get the basics right and set an aspirational agenda to drive Toronto's economy forward, confronting its challenges and leveraging its many strengths. Guided…

Culture Connects: An Action Plan for Culture in Toronto (2025-2035) sets an ambitious 10-year vision for Toronto as a city for culture and creativity, where everyone, everywhere, can discover, experience, and create culture. This vision positions Toronto as an undeniable global cultural capital, celebrated for its exciting and expansive cultural and creative industry offerings as well as its accomplished talent. Culture is engrained in this city, making Toronto a better place to live, work, and visit. It drives economic growth, strengthens community bonds, and promotes social well-being, helping to create thriving, healthy communities. It has been over a decade since the City’s last culture plan, Creative Capital Gains, was introduced in 2011. Since then, there have been significant economic, cultural, and societal shifts – and a devastating global pandemic. Emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic, Toronto’s culture sector is at an inflection point and faces great instability. Challenges include access to space, affordability, equity, changing audience habits, and sponsor supports. As emphasized in public consultations, the Action Plan also has a significant focus on…

In July 2018, the “Better Local Government Act” was introduced by the Government of Ontario. Bill 5 would shrink Toronto City Council from 44 seats (although 47 were contested in the 2018 election) to 25 seats. As problems were encountered with the legislation, it was replaced by Bill 31 “The Efficient Local Government Act.” A battle ensured between the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario in the courts, which resulted in a 5-4 Supreme Court decision in October 2021 upholding the law. The 2018 election took place with the election of 25 Councillors and Mayor. Toronto now has perhaps the most populous wards of any major city in in North America and Europe. In order to manage this volume of work, at its first meeting of the 2018-2022 term of office, Council increased their staff budgets and in a 18-8 vote Council passed the following: 14a - Motion to Amend Item (Additional) moved by Councillor Anthony Perruzza (Carried) That City Council request the City Manager to review Councillor compensation and recommend an appropriate level of compensation for Toronto City Councillors to City Council by the first quarter of 2019 and to obtain advice from one or m…
