As the city filed it
This report seeks City Council authority to enter into a new five-year agreement with Toronto Arts Council (TAC). The proposed five-year agreement, with a term to expire on December 31, 2023, will allow for a continuing and structured link between the City and Toronto Arts Council. It will enable planning and service delivery that offers an increased degree of stability, accountability to City Council, and sets out the City's terms and conditions.

Specific requirements and deliverables from TAC are set out in the agreement based on the nature of the arts and cultural services provided to the City, its residents and visitors to Toronto. The agreement does not stipulate an annual grant to TAC. Such a grant is subject to Council approval annually through the budget process. The new agreement also affirms TAC and the City's shared commitment to advancing equity and inclusion in the arts. In 2017, TAC adopted a new Equity Framework to ensure that all qualified artists and arts organizations are provided fair and equitable access to TAC programs, funds, services and decision-making processes. TAC's Equity Framework aligns with Economic Development and Culture (EDC)'s objective of making all of the Division's activities more inclusive and equitable, which will be supported through the development of a new EDC Equity Plan, scheduled to be complete in spring 2019.
