Mr. Brillinger is currently the Executive Director of Family Services Toronto where he leads Family Services Toronto in their work with individuals, families and communities destabilized by precarious mental health and/or socioeconomic circumstances, to achieve greater resilience, stability and equity. Under new provisions of the Community Safety and Policing Act, City Council must consider the results of an appointee's police record check. Mr. Brillinger has submitted a police record check to the City Clerk who has attached confidential advice to this motion. Reason for urgency: so that a new member is appointed and onboarded in time for the next meeting of the Toronto Police Service Board.
