Toronto Island Park (the Island) is a 242 hectare (598 acre) public park formally established in 1956 and recognized as a sacred and significant place known by Indigenous communities as Mnissing ("on the islands") since long before colonial record. Toronto Island Park is comprised of 15 discrete islands and internal waterways, providing a habitat for a diversity of flora and fauna, a natural recreational amenity for millions of annual visitors, and a home to over 600 Island residents. This staff report summarizes, and seeks Council's endorsement of, the Toronto Island Master Plan, see Attachment 1 and 2, which was developed as a long-needed response to the complex needs and significant challenges facing the Island. These challenges include the increasing effects of climate change, population and tourism growth placing pressure on Toronto Island Park's amenities and natural environment, associated maintenance and state of good repair needs of aging infrastructure, and a desire to enhance access and the overall visitor experience of the Island. The Toronto Island Master Plan is a generational opportunity to establish a vision for what this treasured place can become with strategic i…

Maintaining and growing our child care system in Toronto is a key priority, as outlined in our Licensed Child Care Growth Strategy. Since the introduction of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, Toronto Children’s Services has been working with operators to implement the program despite the challenges created by the program’s guidelines. During the implementation of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, the childcare sector has faced a number of challenges. Operators have faced uncertainty on both operating and capital funding, while disparities in workers’ wages have caused recruitment and retention challenges. Sector expansion is stalled due to inadequate investment, and a lack of clarity on the provincial funding formula has made it hard to plan for the future. It is clear that much more work is needed in order for our child care system to be accessible and inclusive for everyone. The City of Toronto’s Economy and Community Development Committee called for a roundtable of Toronto’s child care sector to be convened to discuss these challenges, identify opportunities, and talk about how we can move forward toget…

Development review shapes how the City grows and delivers services necessary to successfully promote and manage growth. The development review and approval system is critical in developing affordable housing, securing parklands, driving economic growth and job creation, supporting landmark projects, and delivering complete communities that meet approved service standards and regulatory requirements across Toronto. In September 2019, City Council adopted the End-to-End Review of the Development Review Process final report, which outlined several recommendations to improve the City's development review process. This included implementing a new operating model focused on organizational structure, process improvements and technology. Implementation of the new operating model began in March 2020 by establishing an interim team-based structure, comprised of a core team of staff across several City divisions, to streamline the review of all development applications received by the City. To expedite implementation of the new operating model in response to the housing crisis, as well as the Government of Ontario’s legislated application review timelines through Bill 109, the More Hom…

4646 Dufferin Street is at the heart of the City’s Russian Jewish community in a location well placed to contribute to serving the acknowledged need of this community for a wide range of convenient healthcare facilities and seniors and affordable housing, both rental and ownership; all to be provided within the context of aging in place and continuum of care. This medical, office and residential proposal supports the City’s housing initiatives to accelerate housing supply and improve affordability and Provincial policies promoting medical facilities closer to local communities to make access more convenient and cost effective. The proposal aims to utilize the 6.17-acre site as follows: • Six buildings conceived in the context of a continuum of care; • 432,000 square feet of non-residential employment, commercial and medical uses (1,200 permanent jobs); and • A minimum of 770 residential units, inclusive of 350 seniors units (independent serviced, assisted living and memory care) supported by a grouping of medical support personnel; and 225 market rental units (of which 20%-30% are proposed to be affordable rental units for a period of 99 years). This is…

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…
