The City of Toronto has awarded a contract to upgrade the playground located at 31A Clarinda Drive in Ward 17. The construction to replace the playground will require access across the Sun-Canadian 200 m pipeline. In accordance with the Technical Standards and Safety Act, 2000 (TSSA - Ontario), its regulations, and other applicable oil and gas pipeline codes, no person shall operate a vehicle or mobile equipment across or within a pipeline right-of-way unless written permission is first obtained from the operating company.

Sun-Canadian has reviewed the proposed scope of the playground work, including plans and drawings provided by the City, and is prepared to consent to the undertaking of the work through execution of a pipeline crossing agreement. The Division Heads of Engineering and Construction Services, Transportation Services, and Toronto Water have delegated authority within their respective areas to negotiate, enter into, and execute, on behalf of the City, any crossing agreement, crossing permit, or related document required to permit the construction, installation, maintenance, replacement, and expansion of City infrastructure for roads, trails, bike paths, or utilities, in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor, and to make payments under the crossing agreement. The General Manager of Parks and Recreation does not currently have similar delegated authority for Parks and Recreation infrastructure construction, replacement, and maintenance. The General Manager will be seeking this authority through a Council report in early 2026 to address future needs. Construction work at Clarinda Park is anticipated to commence in early 2026. Accordingly, authority is being requested for the Clarinda Park project to ensure the crossing agreement is in place in time for the contractor to commence work and deliver the project prior to summer- 2026. Sufficient funding is available in the Parks and Recreation's 10 Year Capital Plan Playground Enhancement Program account to cover the expenses related to the crossing permit.
