Trees and urban forests are recognized globally as essential natural infrastructure, providing nature-based solutions for climate resilience and enhancing quality of life. Toronto has earned consistent global recognition by the United Nations as a Tree City of the World and is a Generation Restoration Role Model City for its leadership in urban forest management, biodiversity promotion and framework for tree protection. Notably, 98 per cent of respondents to the Tree By-law Review survey said trees are important to their quality of life, underscoring strong public support for urban forests, natural green space and tree protection. Trees are referenced in the following Toronto Municipal Code chapters, which are collectively referred to as the "Tree By-laws" throughout this report: - Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 813, Trees, provides for the protection of City-owned street trees of all diameters and trees on private property with a diameter of 30 centimetres or greater at breast height (1.4 metres). In this report Municipal Code Chapter 813, Trees, Article II - Street Trees and Article III - Private Tree Protection are referred to as the "Street Tree By-law" and "Private Tree By-la…

Toronto's ravines are one of the city’s most important natural assets. They provide $822 million annually in ecological and recreational services, support biodiversity, house critical grey and green infrastructure, and offer essential spaces for recreation and well-being. Nearly 90 per cent of respondents to the 2015 Ravine Strategy survey agreed that ravines are vital to their quality of life. City Council adopted the Ravine Strategy (the "Strategy") in 2017 (2017.EX27.8) as a coordinated, long-term approach to protect, manage, and celebrate Toronto’s ravine system. Since the 2020 Ravine Strategy Implementation report (2020.EX12.1), the City, working with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and numerous partners, has significantly advanced restoration, community engagement, and capital investment. An initial update on the implementation of the Ravine Strategy was provided in 2022. As per Council direction, this report provides a second update on implementation of the Ravine Strategy and outlines: - Progress on key actions and guiding principles, including expanded community-led engagement and stewardship - Advancement of the Loop Trail and the Ravine Campaig…

The purpose of this report is to obtain Council authority to enter into renewals of existing lease and sublease agreements for up to 20-years between the City of Toronto (the “City”) and twenty-four individual boat clubs listed in Appendix B to the report (referred to collectively as the "Tenants"), in respect of certain properties located across Toronto’s waterfront, for the purpose of the Tenants’ continued operation of boat clubs. The long-term boat club lease portfolio consisting of 28 non-profit, volunteer-run sailing, boating and rowing clubs, has supported a thriving sailing, boating and rowing community in the City’s waterfront and shoreline parklands. Boat clubs have contributed and invested in infrastructure that help facilitate programs and services for the community and waterfront and shoreline upkeep, and have contributed to the local economy through operating expenditures, employment, and tourism-related activity. The recommended renewals of the City’s boat club leases is a continuation of decades of the City’s support for affordable access to waterfront programming, community activation, environmental stewardship and associa…

On February 5, 1981, 309 people were arrested in the Bathhouse Raids, a landmark moment in Canada’s 2SLGBTQ+ civil rights movement. 200 police officers — some with crowbars and sledgehammers — raided the Barracks, the Club, Richmond Street Health Emporium, and Romans II Health and Recreation Spa, arresting owners, staff, and guests. Officers used violence and homophobic insults during the raids, which were the largest mass arrest in the city’s history at the time. The men who were arrested were criminally charged with operating or visiting a “bawdy house”, a place defined by law as housing “acts of indecency.” At the time, gay people faced prejudice and discrimination in Canada. Being publicly outed could mean loss of employment, damage to personal relationships, or other serious consequences. In response, the gay community — with allies including feminist and Black activists, labour organizations, and civil liberties groups — rallied protests. On February 6, 1981, 3,000 people marched on Toronto Police 52 Division and Queen’s Park. Former Toronto mayor John Sewell and community leaders like George Hislop (who was a…

Toronto is getting new, faster, higher capacity, electric ferries to make the trip to Toronto Island Park even better. A naming process for the two new ferries entering service in 2027 is underway. A shortlist of names is being put to a public vote, with a decision coming in May 2026. This process is considering non-commemorative names. This motion requests staff to report back on a commemorative naming process for future ferries purchased by the City of Toronto.

Chinatown is an important part of Toronto's cultural landscape, serving people across Toronto and attracting large numbers of visitors, both tourists and local residents. Toronto’s first Chinatown was largely displaced through expropriation for today’s City Hall. Many displaced residents and businesses moved to what is now Toronto’s West Chinatown, centred on Dundas Street between McCaul and Spadina and on Spadina Avenue between College and Queen. This area is home to the highest concentration of Chinatown societies and legacy businesses that originate from the Canadian Chinese Exclusion Act and head tax era. Chinatown later evolved with major waves of immigration from Southeast Asia, including Indochinese Designated Class refugees. Today, many diasporic East and Southeast Asian Toronto subcultures make their home in Chinatown - creating a distinct Chinatown identity and Asian-Canadian cultural experience found nowhere else. Many local Chinese and Indochinese-owned and -operated businesses in Chinatown are fighting a battle against the potential loss of the character, identity and roots of their neighbourhood. As owners age, commercial and residential rents rise,…
