The City of Toronto, together with CreateTO and Waterfront Toronto, is advancing a significant revitalization project for the Port Lands. The Port Lands is being transformed into a dynamic, inclusive mixed-use community, with housing at all levels of affordability combined with supportive community infrastructure. It will also continue as an employment hub, bolstering the City’s film, television, and creative sectors, alongside sustained port and industrial activities. The new Island, currently using the working name "Villiers Island" and receiving a permanent Indigenous name in the Fall of 2024, will be the first mixed-use residential community emerging through this transformation; defined by the renaturalized Don River it will develop into a sustainable and complete community. The Island is part of Toronto's broader waterfront revitalization, building on two decades of a successful tri-government collaboration. This model has spurred long-term economic growth and prosperity by flood protecting and remediating contaminated land, and developing both market and affordable housing. Waterfront revitalization has also delivered award-winning parks, public spaces, and architectur…

Natural gas is a fossil fuel responsible for over half of Toronto’s annual greenhouse gas emissions as the primary energy source for heating buildings. The TransformTO Net Zero Strategy aims to accelerate a rapid and significant reduction in natural gas use in buildings, identifying this as one of four "critical steps" to achieving City Council's goal of net zero emissions by 2040. This critical step is consistent with a worldwide energy transition away from fossil fuels because they are the main cause of climate change. Enbridge Gas Inc. is the utility serving Toronto's consumption of natural gas through a network of transmission and distribution pipelines that connect to over 550,000 gas customers in Toronto. While the City has clearly identified the need to reduce reliance on natural gas, its actions are limited by the jurisdiction provided in provincial legislation. Whether City Council could enact a by-law to ban the transmission, distribution, sale, or use of natural gas within Toronto depends on the scope of the City’s by-law authority under the City of Toronto Act, 2006 and related statutory authorities. Among other things, section 11 of City of Toronto Act, 20…

This report recommends that City Council adopt the recommended Jane Finch Secondary Plan and associated Urban Design Guidelines, to provide a comprehensive planning framework for the area around the intersection of Jane Street and Finch Avenue West. This Official Plan Amendment (OPA) would leverage the significant public investment in new transit infrastructure through the Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) by directing development to appropriate locations, transforming the area to support walking, cycling and transit use, and identifying public realm improvements and community facilities necessary to meet the needs of existing and future residents and workers. It advances the vision of an inclusive, transit-supportive and climate-resilient complete community, with a strong mixed-use core where local-serving retail and service uses would continue to thrive. The Secondary Plan would facilitate the development of significant new housing, with policies that encourage a diversity of housing types, forms, tenures and affordability. The Secondary Plan centres equity with a focus on outcomes for Indigenous, Black and equity-deserving groups, including implementation policies that would…

The opening of the Finch West Light Rail Transit line stands to bring intensive and long-term change to the Jane Finch Area. Jane Finch is an area shaped by a history of underinvestment but also a history of community organizing and action responding to community needs. Growing evidence suggests that without focused investments in Reconciliation, equity and systems-wide strategies and supports, neighbourhoods with a history of underinvestment can experience increased levels of disruption and harm as a result of increased development pressure. For new investments to positively impact existing and new Jane Finch residents, holistic supports and policy frameworks must be put in place that reflect the diverse visions of Jane Finch residents, grassroots groups, local organizations, artists, and local businesses. New policies, programs and partnerships must focus where the need is greatest and address the inequities that shape the lives of residents, with priority given to Indigenous, Black, and equity-deserving groups in Jane Finch. The purpose of this report is to present a proposed Jane Finch Community Development Plan, and to outline the interdivisional and community-led Jane Finch…

Majority required - EC10.1 - Adopt the Item as amended
In Toronto, Community Housing (or non-market housing) refers to social and affordable housing that is owned and/or operated by non-profit housing organizations (including community land trusts), non-profit housing co-operatives ("Co-ops"), and Indigenous housing providers (collectively referred to as “Community Housing Providers”), along with the Toronto Community Housing Corporation (TCHC) and the Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation (TSHC). Community Housing is typically developed and operated with publicly funded capital contributions, and ongoing rental subsidies. Furthermore, it is a critical segment of the housing continuum and provides rental housing options for low-and-moderate-income households. In addition to over 57,500 homes provided by Toronto Community Housing Corporation and Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation, there are currently over 200 Community Housing Providers in Toronto that operate over 40,000 subsidized Rent-Geared-To-Income (RGI) and affordable homes. About 75% of this stock was built prior to 1987 utilizing federal and provincial funding programs. Action from all orders of government is urgently needed to preserve and modernize these aging hom…

This report responds to City Council's direction to the City Manager, in consultation with the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation, to assess the impacts of transitioning the governance and operations of Moss Park Arena from a Board of Management to a City-operated arena. This report provides governance considerations as well as financial, operational, staffing and program impacts of such a transition. Moss Park Arena provides indoor ice sport facilities along with programming including hockey leagues, hockey camps, and instructional programs. It is operated by a Board of Directors, appointed by City Council through the Civic appointments process and follows City policy in terms of how ice is allocated to community user groups. If directed by City Council to transition Moss Park Arena from a Board of Management to a City-operated arena, a transition plan would need to be developed and implemented. This plan would include, but not be limited to, transitioning current programming to third party user groups, renegotiating ice contracts, a workforce management assessment and Council approval of additional operating funding required, through the budget process.
