The HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan and Toronto Housing Charter, both adopted in 2019, commit the City to advancing the progressive realization of the right to adequate housing and set a number of strategic priorities related to protecting tenants, preserving affordable housing supply, and realizing a vision of a city where everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. City Council has recently increased its housing targets under the HousingTO Plan, however, to ensure the City has sufficient affordable rental homes for low- and moderate-income residents, it is also vital to preserve existing affordable rental homes. As a result of factors impacting Toronto's housing market, including low rental vacancy rates, insufficient new rental homes, and the financialization of housing, over the past decade the Toronto region has lost more affordable and mid-range rental homes than have been built. These housing market pressures combined with gaps in provincial rent control requirements have resulted in increased rates of evictions, with disproportionate impacts on low-income and marginalized residents, including those from equity-deserving groups. There have been reports of a growing…

Majority required - PH13.7 - Fletcher - motion 1
Together, the City of Toronto Act, 2006, and the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, prescribe rules and impose deadlines with respect to filling a vacancy in the office of a member of City Council. This report identifies Council's two options for filling the vacancy in the office of Councillor for Ward 15 - Don Valley West resulting from the passing of Councillor Jaye Robinson. City Council must declare this office vacant at its next meeting on June 26-28, 2024. Then, within 60 days of the office being declared vacant, Council must either fill the vacancy by appointment or pass a by-law requiring that a by-election be held. The person appointed or elected to fill the vacancy will hold office for the remainder of the term, which ends on November 14, 2026.

Majority required - CC19.1 - Chow - motion 1
The applications propose to amend the Official Plan and create a Site and Area Specific Policy (SASP), and amend city-wide Zoning By-law 569-2013 for the lands at 1911 Finch Avenue West, the current site of the Jane Finch Mall. The Official Plan Amendment would introduce new policies that would govern the long-term, multi-phased redevelopment of the entire site, including the location of new streets, blocks, parks and open spaces, commercial and residential uses, the delivery of new community service facilities, and the phasing of new development. The rezoning would permit the development of Phase 1 fronting on Finch Avenue West between Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue. Six new towers are proposed, with heights ranging from 28 to 47 storeys. In total, Phase 1 proposes to deliver 2730 new residential units and 5668 square metres of non-residential gross floor area, consisting of retail spaces, community space, and a daycare, and a network of new streets, parks, and open spaces. During Phase 1, most of the Jane Finch Mall will be retained, with approximately 2500 square metres of the 22,509 square metres proposed to be demolished. The proposed development is consistent with the Prov…

Since October 2023, there has been an increase in protests and demonstrations across the world, and Toronto has been no exception. In March 2024, Toronto Police Chief Myron Demkiw reported that Toronto has seen a 93 percent increase in hate crimes since October 7, 2023. A shocking 56 percent of incidents have been antisemitic and target Toronto’s Jewish minority – but there have also been increases in anti-LGBTQ hate, anti-Black hate, and anti-Arab, Muslim and Palestinian hate. At the October 2023 Council meeting, Council unanimously passed Mayor Chow’s motion 2023.MM11.37, “Keeping Toronto Safe from Hate.” This motion supported the creation of “community safety zones… inclusive of areas surrounding places of worship and cultural and religious daycares and schools recognized as a potential target for hate.” To date, no such zones have been created. Instead, demonstrations continue to occur close to and target such facilities, creating fear and distress for many Torontonians. This is why we ask the Province to urgently develop policy and legislation to create safety zones with a radius of 50 to 150 metres, modelled on the “bubb…

Majority required - MM18.16 - Matlow - motion 1
The openness of the City is something that we should rightfully take pride in. The City is routinely the most accessible, available, and transparent level of government. Much of this comes from the improvements and changes that past Council’s made to increase accountability. Recent events have highlighted the continued need for Council to continuously make improvements and changes to our processes in order to continue to meet our high standards. When considering requests for Council approval under the Members of Council Operations Policy the standard should be that receipts related to the requested reimbursement be provided publicly to assure the public that we’re making decisions with as much information as possible.
