This Motion requests that the Toronto and East York Community Council, at their June 22, 2023 meeting, find a solution to ensure that the business located at 17 St Nicholas Street (Bar Volo) can proceed with the installation of a CaféTO patio. This business, like many others across Toronto, had their CaféTO application denied for a variety of reasons, even though they had participated in the CaféTO in previous years.

These installations were previously approved and successful through the COVID-19 pandemic. It is clear that a reimagining of the program will be necessary for future years, and that as a City we must be more creative in our programming solutions. This matter is time sensitive and urgent as City Council approval is required to enable the installation of this CaféTO patio within a reasonable timeframe.
