Re-opening of Item EC8.5 on Regent Park Social Development Plan - by Councillor Ana Bailão, seconded by Councillor Michael Thompson

As a result, it was not fully considered as part of the Economic and Community Development Committee's deliberations on Item EC8.5. The supplementary report provides valuable insights into the City and Toronto Community Housing Corporation's efforts to foster job creation as part of the Regent Park revitalization. The report notes strengths and weaknesses of the current approach. For example, there is the suggestion that there may be shortcomings in the tracking of the results of the project. To improve Toronto Community Housing's revitalization plans and similar job creation efforts, this report needs the thorough consideration best afforded in a committee setting. As City Council has already considered Item EC8.5, the Item must be re-opened before the Economic and Community Development Committee can give consideration to the supplementary report. This Motion is urgent as moving forward on this now will allow for both a committee review of the report that never went to the Committee and for the rest of the Item's recommendations to be acted on in a timely fashion. REQUIRES RE-OPENING: Item EC8.5 - adopted by City Council on October 29 and 30, 2019.
