This report is to request authority from the General Government Committee to amend Non-Competitive Blanket Contract Number 47024284 issued to Canadian Red Cross Society for the provision of emergency services, including emergency lodging; staff and volunteers to conduct initial contact, assessment and service delivery; and subcontractor costs for security. The Canadian Red Cross provides shelter services at a Toronto hotel site near the airport (hereafter referred to as “site”) for Ukrainian arrivals needing emergency shelter. The site currently has a block of 70 rooms. As of June 16, 2023 there are 181 individuals from 68 households at the Toronto hotel site. On April 25, 2022, the City of Toronto issued an Emergency Non-Competitive Blanket Contract 47024284 (NCPR #WS3559160342) to Canadian Red Cross Society for these services in the amount of $5,137,629 net of Harmonized Sales Tax for the period ending June 30, 2022. This contract was then amended to extend the term to December 31, 2022. To continue to support the Ukraine response, SSHA needs to amend and extend the non-competitive blanket contract to December 31, 2023. SSHA will review the program in third quarter a…

Refugees arriving in Canada deserve to be treated with dignity and require a safe roof over their heads. We are in a crisis. Toronto’s dedicated refugee shelter space is full. Toronto’s base shelter system is full. Each night, over 300 people are turned away from our shelter system and forced to find somewhere to spend the night. Over half of these people are refugees and refugee claimants. Toronto's shelter system accommodates nearly 9,000 people. Of that, more than 35 percent of the people in the system are refugees. On any given evening, upwards of 100 refugees and refugee claimants are waiting and sleeping outside the Streets to Homes Assessment and Referral Centre at 129 Peter Street. The situation is desperate. Recently, as part of her transition, Mayor Olivia Chow had the privilege of meeting with refugee serving organizations, frontline shelter workers and other civil society partners who shared information, needs and recommendations on actions for this crisis. The Mayor is grateful to the advocates for pushing all levels of Government to act. Mayor Olivia Chow, Deputy Mayor McKelvie, and Senior City Staff have worked with the Provincial and Federal Governments…

This application proposes to amend the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to permit the development of a 6 storey (32 metres) institutional building located on the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus (UTSC) at 875 Morningside Avenue. While originally identified as 875 Morningside Avenue, the subject lands underwent a Municipal Address Change and are now municipally known as '840 Military Trail'. The proposed building is known as the 'Scarborough Academy of Medicine and Integrated Health' (SAMIH) and will serve as a medical academy containing a total gross floor area of 9,543 square metres. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The development of the proposed institutional building will create a landmark building as part of the development of the University’s North Campus as provided for by the Official Plan and the draft UTSC Secondary Plan. Most significantly, the development provides a needed training facility for physicians and health care professionals that can connect to local health care institutions in Scarborough and the eastern Great…

This application proposes to amend the Zoning By-law to permit the development of a three storey townhouse complex containing five three-bedroom dwelling units. The proposed development consists of 946 square metres of residential gross floor area representing a floor space index of 1.37 and a lot coverage of 42%. Vehicular access is proposed from a driveway off Huntingwood Drive, while pedestrians can access the townhouses either from Birchmount Road or a walkway adjacent to the driveway to the rear of the property. The proposed development is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) and conforms with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020). The proposal conforms to the applicable Official Plan policies and complies with the criteria in the City's Townhouse and Low-Rise Apartment Guidelines through a built form that is compatible with the existing adjacent uses. It will add a modest level of intensification to an underutilized property at the intersection of two Major Streets. This report reviews and recommends approval of the application to amend the Zoning By-law.

The municipal government, especially in a city as large as Toronto, plays an important role in delivering services and support to residents at a local level. The responsibility and commitments that Toronto City Council has to its residents are often matters that affect the daily lives of residents. By addressing the specific needs and concerns of their communities, municipal governments ensure that residents have access to safe neighborhoods, reliable public services, well-maintained roads, recreational opportunities, and a thriving local economy. As such, City Council should be empowered to enact policy changes and measures to effectively and efficiently execute the job for which they were duly elected. City Council continues to call on the Provincial and Federal governments to partner with Toronto to fund various needs of the City such as housing, transit, public safety often to no avail. The result from a lacking in funding and partnership with the other two levels of government is a lack in results for Torontonians and meaningful improvements to our city. We as Council have already seen first-hand the effects of reduced autonomy at the municipal level from the reduction of Cit…

CaféTO is one of the signature programs of the City. Its success is crucial to supporting small businesses and creating a vibrant streetscape, especially crucial as businesses continue to recover from the pandemic. After issues were identified by local businesses in May, I was pleased to see that staff elected to install all CaféTO locations that had been technically approved while the permits are still being reviewed. This is a temporary fix and I am hoping that a more thorough review of the program will ensure its smooth operation going forward. I know City Council is committed to making CaféTO work.
