The City of Toronto provides year-round ferry services for residents, passengers and vehicles traveling to and from Toronto Island. Due to the aging ferry fleet, City Council directed Parks, Forestry and Recreation to advance the Ferry Fleet Replacement Strategy, beginning with the construction of two new, fully electric ferry vessels: a new passenger and vehicle vessel and new passenger vessel. The delivery of the two new vessels will increase the City's ferry capacity by over 400 passengers per trip for the passenger and vehicle vessel and nearly 1,000 passengers per trip for the passenger vessel. Delivery of the new vessels will also enhance the passenger experience with contemporary ferry designs and amenities, reduce anticipated repair costs of the current fleet, and significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions as the ferry fleet transitions from diesel to electric. City Council initiated the Ferry Fleet Replacement Strategy with preliminary funding allocated in 2015. During the course of the design process, in 2022, City Council established the objective of constructing fully electric vessels (rather than hybrid diesel-electric vessels). The recommended design responds to t…

At July 19, 2022 City Council Meeting, Council adopted 2022.MM.47.90 authorizing the release of Section 37 funds from a development towards Public Realm and Streetscape Improvements related to “Manor Road Square” as prescribed in Official Plan Amendment 405 as a City- Initiated Public Realm Move. The total funds authorized for release to Rockport Yonge and Manor Inc., was $711,800, inclusive of HST. Due to cost escalations, settlement of design for Manor Square and time delay in entering into a construction agreement, Transportation Services staff have confirmed that the revised project cost for the works is $1,030,400 (inclusive of HST). This results in $318,600 additional costs that are above the Owner’s obligation. This motion requests authority from Council to amend the 2024-2033 Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Transportation Services to release additional funds to Rockport Yonge and Manor Inc., to implement construction and related costs associated with streetscape improvements on Manor Road West, fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Fund) community benefits that have been received and are eligible for these purposes. This motion requires ur…

The purpose of this Motion is to declare April 11 to 17, 2025 as Black Maternal Health Week in Toronto. This week will focus on raising awareness about Black maternal health, supporting Black-led initiatives, and encouraging community involvement. The Black Health Plan for Ontario seeks to enhance Black maternal health by providing equitable access to prenatal care and culturally competent services and it highlights the need for data collection to better understand and address health disparities. Toronto is home to a vibrant and diverse Black community that faces unique socio-economic and cultural challenges. From the 2021 Census, 10% of Torontonians identify as Black. In our city, Black maternal health is often overlooked due to limited data on maternal health outcomes, systemic anti-Black racism, and a lack of targeted public initiatives. Research shows that Black pregnant people experience higher rates of stillbirths, and poor maternal and infant outcomes such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and congenital heart disease, compared to White individuals. For example, a study from McGill University found that 8.9% of Black women gave birth to pre…

The City of Toronto generates more than 20 percent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product and 50 percent of Ontario’s Gross Domestic Product. Despite our economic strength and contribution, we find ourselves consistently short on resources to fulfill our potential as a world-class city. As the largest city in Canada and the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto has unique challenges and responsibilities that cannot be adequately supported by an operational budget that is primarily built on property taxes. As we advocate for a new fiscal framework or a “new deal”, we can learn from world-class cities around the globe. A jurisdictional scan of fiscal frameworks can help us strengthen our advocacy for the support of higher levels of government towards a more robust budget for the city of Toronto.

It’s been a long time coming and we are ready for it. As we know all too well, Taylor Swift is coming to Toronto for a fortnight for the Eras Tour. Swifties will shake it off at six concerts this November and it is an opportunity for Toronto to show off our great reputation and our place in this world. After Taylor Swift makes sparks fly and the whole place shimmer at the Rogers Centre in a concert that Swifties will remember forever and always, fans will need to calm down and walk along the honorary “Taylor Swift Way” to have their photos taken with the Toronto signs seven letters lit red in her honour. It’s our way to show Taylor she’s the one we’ve been waiting for, that she has brought us much happiness and that we will love her evermore.

The purpose of this report is to respond to City Council direction that the Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building, in consultation with the Fire Chief and General Manager, Fire Services, engage a Building Code Consultant to study the feasibility of supporting a single means of exiting multi-residential buildings of up to four storeys, including additional life safety and other measures which would meet the objectives and intent of the Ontario Building Code. Exits are a fundamental and essential component of a building's fire and life safety system. Some designers and others have advocated that the Ontario Building Code threshold for requiring a second exit stair in small multi-unit residential buildings is too high compared to other jurisdictions in North America, Europe and around the world. They suggest that a single exit staircase would support innovation in the design and construction of higher density small multi-unit buildings on constrained sites in higher density urban areas resulting in more missing middle housing. Building regulators and emergency responders have identified that there are potential impacts on safety that need to be considered i…
