The Auditor General’s 2023 Work Plan included an operational review of how the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division manages and maintains over 1,500 parks in the City of Toronto. This report presents the first phase of the operational review, which focuses on the efficiency of daily park maintenance activities, compliance with the established service level standards, and identifying opportunities for improving how the Parks Branch performs day-to-day maintenance to help keep parks beautiful, clean, and safe. The Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division’s mission is to improve the quality of life of Toronto’s diverse communities by providing safe, beautiful parks, a healthy, expanding urban forest, and high quality, community-focused recreational experiences. The Parks Branch is responsible for on-going care and maintenance of City-operated parks, including various amenities found in each park. Our audit identifies opportunities for the Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division to improve parks crew productivity, supervision of maintenance activities and measuring the achievement of service level standards by: a. Leveraging technology and improving scheduling, tra…

At its meeting on November 4, 2024, the FIFA World Cup 2026 Subcommittee considered Item FWC2.1 and made recommendations to City Council. This report provides an update on planning for the FIFA World Cup 2026 (FWC26) in Toronto, including a revenue strategy identifying ways to offset expenditures, a progress update on community workforce development and business opportunities for local and diverse suppliers through FWC26 procurements, and current state of play of the procurements, including awarded contracts to date and requests to award and negotiate on items captured in a confidential attachment. With planning ongoing and budget estimates converting from forecast to actuals, the cost of some goods and services quoted back are higher than projected. This report puts forward a revision to the procurement plan for goods and services for both capital and operational services previously approved by City Council on July 24, 2024 ( EX16.32 ). As has been previously reported to City Council, the estimated costs to host the FWC26 in Toronto total $380.0 million, which includes all operations, safety and security, and capital upgrades to ensure the City meets all FIFA requirements. Of the…

In Canada, the minimum voting age is currently 18 across all jurisdictions. Fourteen Canadian municipal councils and school boards have passed motions in support of extending voting rights to 16- and 17-year-olds, or studying the policy: 1. Pickering City Council, 2004 2. Lethbridge City Council, 2015 3. Edmonton City Council, 2016 4. Edmonton Catholic School Board, 2017 5. Edmonton Public Schools, 2017 6. Calgary City Council, 2018 7. Strathcona County Council, 2018 8. Winnipeg School Division, 2018 9. Victoria City Council, 2019 10. Vancouver City Council, 2021 11. Vernon City Council, 2021 12. Saanich City Council, 2021 13. Whitehorse City Council, 2024 14. Penticton City Council, 2024 Similar motions are currently anticipated in West Vancouver, Kamloops, Surrey, Halton Hills, and Cape Breton. While beneficial to building public support in communities across the country, these campaigns have been limited by provincial/territorial jurisdiction over municipal election law. The City of Toronto’s polls for changes in a neighbourhood present an opportunity for the City to become the first in Canada to unilaterally allow 16- and 17- year-olds the opportunity to vote. This summa…

Toronto is facing two housing crises – one where there is a lack of deeply affordable and supportive homes for low-income, marginalized, and vulnerable residents, as well as those experiencing homelessness; and a more recent one in which rising rents have made it increasingly unaffordable for middle income earners, key workers and professionals to live in the city. To respond to this dual crisis, City Council has pledged to meet the Provincial housing target of 285,000 housing starts in Toronto by 2031, and has expanded its HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan (HousingTO Plan) targets to approve 65,000 rent-controlled homes, including rent-geared-to-income (RGI) and affordable rental homes, by 2030. An adequate supply of purpose-built rental homes is central to a well-functioning housing system that can meet the housing needs of current and future residents. However, Toronto is facing a shortage of purpose-built rental homes as a direct result of insufficient investments from all orders of government since the early 1990s. As governments stepped back from investment in new purpose-built rental homes, new private investment in condominiums increased leading to a situation where 85…

This report outlines the analysis, consultation process, and recommended zoning amendments to advance the first phase of work to incorporate low-rise residential lands in Toronto and East York District into Zoning By-law 569-2013 (the "City-wide Zoning By-law). Staff recommend bringing low-rise residential lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law with zoning standards that are consistent with the applicable former municipal zoning by-law, consistent with recent city-wide zoning amendments, and in conformity with the Official Plan. These properties had active zoning by-law amendment or site plan control applications in 2012 and were excluded from the City-wide Zoning By-law through the transition protocol. This study is part of the on-going work to simplify and modernize the City-wide Zoning By-law, and to support consistent application of the City-wide Zoning By-law. Bringing these lands into the City-wide Zoning By-law will remove barriers, ease administration, and enable the creation of more housing as part of the Housing Action Plan. In addition, the recommended zoning by-law amendment will enable properties to take advantage of the removal of parking minimums and permissions for…
