At its May 10, 11 and 12, 2023 meeting, City Council adopted “ A Clean Energy Future for Toronto ” which expressed City Council’s objection to any increase in the burning of fossil fuels in the City. Spurred on by a Provincial proposal to increase emissions at the Portlands Energy Centre, this Motion underlined the commitment of the City to its climate goals. The Provincial Government then announced that their interpretation was that the increased emissions from the Portlands Energy Centre would not be subject to the requirement to obtain municipal consent. This Motion calls on the Federal Government to support the City in meeting our climate goals and to use their regulatory authority to backstop City Council’s position.

A recent sinkhole that occurred in the roadway at Queen and De Grassi is the latest in a number of large sinkholes along streetcar lines. Sewer maintenance and inspections by Toronto Water could help ensure that these are addressed in a preventative manner. A higher level of coordination between the Toronto Transit Commission and Toronto Water is required. Developing a plan that allows for Toronto Water to complete inspections along streetcar lines in a comprehensive manner will benefit transit riders and drivers by proactively preventing emergency sinkhole closures. This is more important than ever with the increased number of streetcar diversions and the construction of the Ontario Line. Preserving and protecting the existing streetcar routes should be the highest priority.

City Council approved modular supportive housing for 175 Cummer Avenue is awaiting an Ontario Land Tribunal hearing and the units sit in storage in Owen Sound. The seniors and surrounding community are anxious to bring finality to this matter sooner than later. This Motion addresses some of their main concerns and provides a way forward. Below are the primary concerns of the seniors which are being addressed by this motion. The greenspace is cherished by the seniors. In conversation with the seniors at Willowdale Manor they all describe the importance of the green space in the front of the building. Currently the site plan places the 59-unit building right in the middle of this green space. The seniors live in relatively small units, many of whom have mobility challenges. They cannot easily access other options for outdoor space. Given COVID restrictions, no in-person consultation was held. As a result the seniors felt their voices were not heard. Toronto Community Housing Corporation has also proposed AODA renovations to take away their stage (used regularly for programming) and front seating area which are also important amenities to them. The creation of a Community Liaison Com…

There are currently two buildings situated on 175 Cummer Avenue. The modular supportive housing would become the third building and is currently proposed to be added to the northern portion of the property nearest Cummer Avenue. The current buildings are Cummer Lodge - Long Term Care which cares for almost 400 seniors and Willowdale Manor, Toronto Seniors Housing Corporation which houses 256 elderly individuals, most of whom are low-income and ethnically diverse with limited English proficiency. Since this project was first proposed, two mistakes were made. Firstly, the seniors at Willowdale Manor who live on the property and a mere 20 metres from the potential new neighbours were never consulted in an accessible way. Due to the pandemic, consultations were held online which most seniors were not able to attend. Further, a majority of the seniors are not native English speakers and require language assistance in Mandarin, Farsi and Russian. This never happened. Although many of the consultations occurred during COVID lockdowns, outdoor multilingual engagement could have happened along the way. The second mistake was designing the site and ordering the units without zoning being fi…

Since its establishment in 2001, Yonge-Dundas Square has established itself as a prominent destination in our downtown core. Over time, significant improvements have been made to the surrounding vicinity, resulting in a substantial increase in pedestrian activity, with millions of visitors passing through each year. Public spaces and squares in Toronto play a pivotal role in our city, bringing communities together for various occasions of joy, celebration, solidarity, sorrow, and reflection. These events and gatherings take place across the city, encompassing locations like Nathan Phillips Square, Mel Lastman Square, and Albert Campbell Square. Yonge-Dundas Square, as the vibrant heart of our downtown, is no exception to this phenomenon. Given that Yonge-Dundas Square has maintained its current form for over two decades and in light of our city's ongoing recovery efforts from the impacts of COVID-19, it is essential for our public spaces to adapt to the evolving needs of our communities, stimulate economic development, and facilitate Toronto's future growth. Consequently, conducting a thorough review of the governance and operations of Yonge-Dundas Square is a critical step toward…
