On the agenda

As the city filed it

This motion is being moved in consultation with, and under the recommendation of the Medical Officer of Health regarding the new Toronto Public Health dental clinic at 160 Borough Drive. The Scarborough Civic Centre clinic at 150 Borough Drive is the busiest of Toronto Public Health's dental clinics and consistently has a wait list of clients. Toronto Public Health has previously initiated a project to build another clinic at 160 Borough Drive, adjacent to the current clinic.

Due to inflationary pressures, construction cost increases, and other changes impacting the project, Toronto Public Health is requesting a reallocation of funds from the approved 2023 Toronto Public Health Operating Budget to the 2023 Toronto Public Health Capital Budget in order to fund this project properly. There is no net financial impact to the City of Toronto, as the Ontario Ministry of Health provides 100 percent funding for this project under the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program. Seniors covered under the Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program represent the largest demographic group of clients using Toronto Public Health dental clinics.

Staff recommended
