Night Economy Working Groups Update

It also provides updates on other City efforts relating to the night economy, including the Night Economy Annual Town Hall, the Good Neighbour Guide for Late-Night Businesses, as well as the communication channels used to support work relating to the night economy. The Night Economy Internal Working Group advances a coordinated approach across City divisions and agencies to ensure that Toronto's night experience is safe, positive, sustainable, and inclusive. The Night Economy External Working Group, in turn, provides insight from nighttime businesses, creative sectors, and residents to help inform the City's support of the night economy. As described in this staff report, current priorities of the two working groups include: integrating applicable city-wide plans and strategies, such as SafeTO and Our Health, Our City; and enhancing those elements which can enable a healthy and sustainable night economy, including public transportation, flexible use of space, and family-friendly experiences.
