City Council adopted its current flag policy in 1999. The policy allows for the following flags on its courtesy flag poles at Toronto City Hall and civic centres with courtesy flag poles: a. the flags of nations recognized by Global Affairs Canada, on a national day or on the anniversary of a special occasion, upon written request; and b. the flag of a non-profit or charitable organization upon the written request of the group or organization. City Council delegated authority to the Chief of Protocol to approve all flag raisings in accordance with Council’s policy. This motion proposes changes to Council’s flag raising policy that would eliminate the flying of flags of foreign nations, and those of non-profit or charitable organization effective immediately. This motion also recommends the continuation of City of Toronto hosted flag raisings and accompanying ceremonies of the following: the flags of Indigenous and Treaty partners, the Intersex Pride flag, the Black Liberation flag, and flags of professional sport organizations, and flags of cities that are part of the City’s International Alliance program. This motion does not recommend any changes to the followi…

The City of Toronto contracts the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority to operate a Mute Swan Management Program, which is a non-mandatory program under the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. This population control program involves coating mute swan eggs with oil in the nest, which cuts off oxygen to the cygnets inside preventing them from developing so the eggs do not hatch. Female swans will remain on the nest for longer than the typical incubation period, subjecting them to increased physical stress before they give up on a clutch of eggs. The rationale for managing the mute swan population in Ontario is based on concerns that mute swans displace other water birds and overgraze aquatic vegetation. However, there is a growing body of scientific research which challenges those concerns and provides evidence that mute swans do not outcompete other waterbirds and do not damage wetland ecosystems by overgrazing. The most recent Midsummer Mute Swan Survey found that the mute swan population from Humber Bay to Hamilton Harbour has decreased by 81 percent since 2011 (413 total birds in 2011 to 80 total birds in 2024). Many…

The purpose of this report is to update the Audit Committee on the Auditor General’s decision in considering City Council's request to include an investigation into SmartTrack implementation in her 2026 Work Plan, and to report back on any required changes to the timeline of other work in her Work Plan. The report also provides some background information and an event chronology (Attachment 1) related to the SmartTrack program. For background, the SmartTrack program's scope has decreased and changed over the past 10 years. In 2015, the then Mayor initially envisioned 13 new stations (and nine existing GO stations for 22 station stops total). City Council later approved six new stations in 2016, as recommended in a staff report following a detailed technical analysis. In 2021, the number of stations was reduced to five stations. Subsequently, due to cost pressures on the SmartTrack program, the provincial government committed $226 million in funding in June 2023 to deliver the five-station scope. In late 2024, to address additional cost pressures identified by the Province, City Council approved deferring two of the five stations. No further funding was made available by the…

Every year the City fills hundreds of thousands of potholes through regular road repair and targeted pothole blitzes. In 2025, over 250,000 potholes were filled, an increase of 44 percent since 2022. City crews are out across Toronto this year filling potholes as the snow melts. Last June, Councillor Fletcher and I brought a Member Motion ( MM31.19 Fixing Roads Faster ) to City Council that launched a special repaving program to tackle local roads in poor condition, including those with the most significant pothole issues, in addition to regularly scheduled road work. This program accelerated resurfacing of 24 local roads, all ahead of their original schedules. As part of my 2026 Budget, we have invested $11 million in new funding to build on the Fixing Roads Faster program and expand local resurfacing above and beyond the previous level of local road repair. This program will continue to scale as we build on each year’s progress. This year, unprecedented winter weather means roads are in rough shape and this work is more important than ever. I am recommending we implement a pothole blitz strategy that is informed by 311 data and planned in coordination with the Fixing Roads…

I am proud to share that Toronto has been awarded the Bloomberg Philanthropies 2025-2026 Mayors Challenge prize in recognition of our ambitious vision for Toronto’s school food program. We are one of just 24 winners selected out of 630 participating cities worldwide. The City will receive $1.4 million as we work with community partners to expand bulk purchasing of food, lowering food costs while supporting local jobs and Canadian farmers. The prize is an investment in our vision, and it comes with two years of expert support and dedicated funding for staff to help bring this vision to life. The Bloomberg Prize comes on the heels of my 2026 budget, which made critical investments to reduce the cost of living, including a $7 million boost to expand school food programs to an additional 155 schools and 62,000 students this year. The City’s support for morning meal programs provides immediate relief on grocery bills, delivering almost $900 in savings for families with two kids. Since the beginning of my term, the City has boosted investment in school food programs by more than 80 per cent. We are on track to provide meals to every one of the 330,000 public school students…

Over the past few weeks, officials of other orders of government have commented on the future of Toronto’s waterfront. While these comments set expectations that the other orders of government may seek to change the character and uses of the waterfront, the City has not received a proposal or any details. The plan, if there is one, remains a mystery. This motion seeks to make it the position of City Council that other orders of government must include the residents of our city and their democratically elected municipal representatives in all decisions about the future of our city, including our waterfront. This includes opposing the unilateral expropriation of any land within the City of Toronto. Any significant decisions on the future of Toronto’s waterfront must include Torontonians. It's our waterfront and we’ve worked hard to make it an extraordinary place to live, work and visit.
