Toronto is at a critical economic juncture. The City’s unemployment is approaching 9 percent and a concerning trend of out-migration saw more than 70,000 residents leave Toronto in the last year. Council must take aggressive action to grow our economy, secure high-quality jobs, and ensure our long-term prosperity. Canada and other anchor nations have partnered to establish the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank, a new multilateral initiative designed to finance critical infrastructure, secure supply chains, and strengthen cyber resilience. The Defence, Security and Resilience Bank is in the process of selecting where its new headquarters will be located – a decision that could create more than 3500 high-quality jobs, strengthen its host city’s position as a hub of finance and innovation, and provide a significant boost to gross domestic product. Other cities such as Ottawa have publicly declared their interest in hosting this new institution. Toronto must advocate strongly for choosing our city as the ideal location for the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank headquarters. Locating its headquarters in Toronto would set up the Defence, Security and Resilience…

This report responds to requirements in the City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 669, Climate Change Goals and Governance to provide the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy Action Plan (2026-2030) ("the Plan"). The Plan, available in Attachment 1, focuses on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions to limit future climate change and was co-developed with Divisions, Agencies and Corporations, including Finance and Treasury Services, with further analysis required for future considerations. In 2021, City Council adopted the TransformTO Net Zero Strategy, along with an ambitious target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 community-wide, and the first implementation plan. Since that time the City's approach to climate has developed substantially and now includes a robust Carbon Accountability framework, delivery of foundational programs and projects, in-house technical greenhouse gas modelling, a sophisticated understanding of the City's climate opportunities and challenges, and advisory tables, all of which informed the development of this Plan. The City is moving toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions community-wide and doing as much as it can as soon as it can, while being sensit…

The City can play a role in saving families money. Together, we’ve made choices that help, like saving families $1,200 on grocery bills through the school food program and not raising TTC fares for three years running. That’s in addition to building more affordable rental homes, and creating more free spaces - like library Sunday hours and more recreation for youth. We’ve already taken steps in this direction. When I first arrived in 2023, I ask people buying luxury homes to chip in a little more. It was designed as new graduated rates on the MLTT for high-priced homes. In 2024, it impacted only 2% of home-buyers and brought in $138 million in revenue, taking pressure off working and middle class families. That’s revenue that keeps our city running. It’s clear that the impact of our current economic uncertainty is not being evenly felt across our City. Many people are at risk of losing their jobs and finding it harder to make ends meet. Some continue to do very well. I’m asking the 2% of buyers purchasing luxury homes far beyond what average Torontonians can afford to chip in more. Those who can afford five or ten million dollar homes can afford…

On June 26, 2024, City Council approved Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments for the properties known municipally as 191-199 College Street and 74-76 Henry Street ( Item 2024.TE13.2 ), approving the re-development of the subject property (the “development approval”). Meanwhile, the Little Italy Business Improvement Association, in consultation with community stakeholders, has developed a visionary Master Plan for upgrading the College Street streetscape with improved lighting, trees, benches and other facilities for pedestrians. Although the project has strong local support, it has to date been largely unfunded. The applicant has begun demolition in preparation for construction and its community benefit charge is an appropriate source of funding for the College Street streetscape improvements proposed by the Little Italy Business Improvement Association.

The City has committed to a comprehensive plan to build new affordable and supportive housing as part of its HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan. The City has also committed to the expansion of its purpose-built emergency homeless shelters through the Homelessness Services Capital Infrastructure Strategy (HCSIS). This expansion is necessary as the City’s shelter system is at capacity, people are turned away from full shelters on a nightly basis, hundreds of individuals are sleeping in encampments, and thousands more are chronically underhoused. While new shelters have been met with mixed response in their planned locations, a small group of people are forcing the City to defend itself in court. This civil litigation has been brought by various plaintiffs wishing to arrest new housing and shelter projects, including at locations on Cummer Avenue, Adelaide Street West, Wardlaw Crescent, Sheppard Avenue East and Third Street. Shelter operators and community engagement consultants contracted by the City of Toronto have also been named as defendants in these cases. These operators and consultants have been acting in the public interest, as directed and required pursuant to their cont…

The Heat Relief Strategy guides the City of Toronto's response to hot weather, with a goal of minimizing the health impacts of extreme heat. Its primary focus is to provide tailored relief to populations most vulnerable to heat. It is active during the heat season, which runs annually from May 15 to September 30. This report will respond to City Council direction MM31.21, which requested City staff to review City’s Heat Relief Strategy (the Strategy) and provide recommendations for enhancement, and MM31.26,, which directed staff improve timely and accurate public updates about pool and recreation facility closures. Toronto is increasingly experiencing the impacts of climate change, including more frequent, prolonged and extreme heat events. The summer of 2025 was among the hottest in the past decade, with a total of 29 days under a Heat Warning issued by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The first Heat Warning in June 2025 was marked by high heat, with temperatures reaching 34.5°C, and Humidex values that reached 46, the highest Humidex ever recorded in Toronto for the month of June. The severity of this event highlighted areas where the City's response measu…
