This report requests that Toronto and East York Community Council deny the request for a permit to remove one privately owned ravine-protected tree located at 171 Neville Park Boulevard. The applicant indicates the reason for requesting removal of the tree is as a precautionary measure to mitigate the risk of failure that could result in serious injury or loss of life. The red oak tree (Quercus rubra) measures 93 cm in diameter. The City's Tree By-laws do not support the removal of this tree as it is healthy and maintainable. The permit was denied, and the applicant is appealing the decision. Community Council has delegated authority from City Council to make a final decision as to whether a permit may be issued when an applicant appeals the City's decision to deny a tree permit.

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.

Although Toronto Public Health promotes eye examinations, it does not offer school-based eye examinations based on the dental model. Studies have shown that students with visual impairments have limited ability to learn incidentally. This affects how they form concepts and develop schema or frameworks for understanding new ideas and vocabulary that provide essential foundation skills for comprehension and abstract reasoning. Visual processing directly impacts one’s ability to learn, read, and retain information. Learning in school is typically directed at visual processing 75 percent of the time. So, to do well in school and in life, developing one's visual system is critical. Educational studies and epidemiological results have documented the high prevalence of poor vision among school-age students because of exposure to prolonged vision-demanding academic tasks and prolonged indoor sedentary lifestyles. Megan Collins, a pediatric ophthalmologist at the Wilmer Eye Institute, associate faculty at the Berman Institute of Bioethics, and co-director of the Johns Hopkins Consortium for School-Based Health Solutions concluded in one study that “giving kids the glasses they…
