Attracting more than 1.2 million visitors every year, the Islands are a favourite location for a variety of events and activities, as well as the home to a unique and vibrant community.

The ever increasing popularity of the Islands and the harbour have created many operational and logistical challenges. City Council at its meeting on August 25 and 26, 2014, approved MM55.14 and initiated the formation of the Toronto Islands Advisory Committee. The Toronto Islands Advisory Committee conducted meetings through the 2014-2018 term of Council and provided valuable input to City staff through stakeholder representation. This Motion recommends the continuation of the advisory group. The Toronto Islands Advisory Committee has focused on supporting comprehensive, long-term visioning and strategic planning for Toronto's centrepiece park. Continuing the advisory committee will assist the City's goals of enhancing the Islands as an attractive and accessible year-round destination.
