Authorize the Receipt of Funds and Allocation of Section 37 Funds towards the Nathan Phillips Square Indian Residential School Survivors Restoration of Identity Project - by Councillor Mike Layton, seconded by Councillor Joe Cressy

Call to Action 82 calls for the commission and installation of a publicly accessible and highly visible monument in each provincial or territorial capital to recognize Indian residential school survivors. The project has been advanced by the Indigenous community in collaboration with a City team composed of staff from the Indigenous Affairs Office, Corporate Real Estate Management, and Economic Development and Culture. On July 23, 2018, City Council adopted item GM29.20 which directed the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture and the General Manager, Facilities Management, to submit costs related to the project for consideration as part of the 2019 budget process. On November 12, 2019, Gow Hastings Architects Inc. was awarded Purchase Order 6049804 by Corporate Real Estate Management as part of Professional Services contract for design and contract administration services. The project involves State of Good Repair work in the south west quadrant of Nathan Phillips Square and landscape enhancements referred to as the ' Spirit Garden'. The design of the Spirit Garden revolves around a monumental Turtle sculpture and includes a Teaching Lodge, Amphitheatre, a Three Sisters teaching garden a Voyageur Canoe and an Inuksuk. The overall estimated project budget of $17,000,000 (inclusive of design, construction, contingency, allowances and other costs), includes an estimated $13,300,000 for construction that is based upon a Class A cost estimate report prepared by the design team. Total funding of $11.0 million is available with $6.0 million previously approved and an additional $5.0 million approved in the 2021 - 2030 Council Approved Capital Budget and Plan for Corporate Real Estate Management for the Nathan Phillips Square Indian Residential School Survivors Restoration of Identity Project (CCA257-01). The requested $2 million of Section 37 funds and the estimated $4.0 million from Toronto Council Fire Native Cultural Centre will contribute towards the non-state of good repair or enhancement work of the project. Through the amendment requested in Part 3 of this Motion, the overall project cost will increase from $11.0 million to $17.0 million with $8.5 million available for state of good repair work and $8.5 million on non-state of good repair or enhancement work.
