It is a moment to reflect on the importance of this land, which we each call home. We acknowledge the land we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands.

At its meeting of May 21 and 22, 2025, City Council adopted Item 2025.TE22.3 , approving a Zoning By-law Amendment, which included a recommendation for City Council to allow the owner of 72 Perth Avenue to design, construct, finish, provide and maintain on the site 13 affordable rental housing units as part of the development, as an in-kind contribution pursuant to subsection 37(6) of the Planning Act in accordance with specific terms. The terms included a requirement for the in-kind contribution to have a total of three studio units, five one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, and one three-bedroom unit (the "affordable rental housing units"). The applicant would like to revise the unit mix requirement for the in-kind contribution to have a total of eight one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units, and one three-bedroom unit. This motion will enable the provision of more accessible units that require a larger unit type to accommodate more functional and spacious living arrangements. City Planning and Housing Secretariat staff support the proposed amendments to the unit mix terms. The additional height and density contemplated was noted by the applicant as being required to deliver a rental housing development under a rental housing program supported by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The proposed unit mix is in alignment with the goals of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation program and affordable housing commitments under the City of Toronto's Rental Housing Supply Program programs - Purpose-built Rental Housing Incentives Stream and Capital Funding Stream. The value to the in-kind contribution with the revised unit mix remains equal to 100 percent of four percent of the value of the land (net of any exclusions or exemptions authorized under the Community Benefits Charge By-law).

In 2024, City Council approved $200,000 in Section 37 funds towards the revitalization of the Lakeview Avenue Parkette. Following the completion of the design phase, it was determined that the current allocation for the Lakeview Parkette Construction project was insufficient to realize its full potential as a vibrant public space within the Little Portugal Business Improvement Area. The vision for this parkette aims for it to become a welcoming, attractive destination for both locals and tourists, enhancing the character of the area. Given the strategic location and potential impact of the parkette, additional Section 37 funding would enable the full inclusion of the key design elements.
City Council on November 12 and 13, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council increase the 2025 Operating Budget for Non-Program on a one-time basis by $131,014 gross, $0 net, fully funded by Section 37 funds obtained in the development at 871 to 899 College Street (Source Account: XR3026-3701124), for the purpose of forwarding funds to the Little Portugal Toronto Business Improvement Area for improvements to the Lakeview Avenue Parkette on Dundas Street West within the Little Portugal Toronto Business Improvement Area (NP2161). 2.

Toronto's Parks are among the City's most important Public spaces. They are places where families gather, kids play, and neighbours connect. When encampments take over playgrounds, set up next to daycares, and impact other community spaces, they become unsafe for the people they're meant to serve. The City of Toronto needs to ensure safe access to all parks, especially those near schools, daycares and playgrounds. That is why this motion calls for removing encampments in these locations within 48 hours of being reported. In Ward 19, an encampment was established at Stanley G. Grizzle Park, immediately adjacent to a daycare and on a route used by families and residents of all ages. Residents have endured unacceptable impacts from this encampment, including observing the use of crack pipes, littered needles, increased garbage, screaming at three o'clock in the morning, human waste left in residents' backyards, the illicit sale of drugs to minors, porch package theft, and assaults. Despite escalating this situation repeatedly to City officials, the encampment and its negative impacts have remained. Encampments are not a healthy or sustainable solution for the people living in them, and they are not healthy for our communities. Our public parks need to be for all of us.
City Council on November 12 and 13, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council amend the City of Toronto Interdivisional Protocol for Encampments in Toronto, as adopted in 2024.EC13.8, to prioritize removing encampments located within 200 metres of a school, daycare or playground within 24 hours of being reported, with prioritization based on most significant impact beginning at 50 metres, update the local Councillor within one business day of initiation, and provide regular updates on the status of the location, with coordination between the Fire Chief and Deputy City Manager, Community and Emergency Services, to ensure safety and operational factors are fully considered. 2. City Council further amend the Interdivisional Protocol for Encampments to include a maximum number of three offers of shelter to people living in encampments before proceeding to removals in the circumstances set out in Part 1 above.
Staff recommendation as filed
Councillor Brad Bradford, seconded by Councillor Jon Burnside, recommends that: 1.

In the heart of Cliffcrest, Scarborough, lives Dave Harper, a beloved community member who recently celebrated his 75th birthday.

Beyond this, he is recognized for his generosity and service, every Thursday, without fail, he assists his neighbours by taking out garbage, recycling, and compost across multiple streets. Given Dave's continuous service and lifelong connection to Halbert Public Pool, it is fitting to celebrate him with a permanent commemorative plaque at Halbert Park.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of preventable deaths among children in Ontario and research by the Lifesaving Society of Ontario shows that most children who drown never intended to be in the water. Evidence demonstrates that even basic swimming and water survival skills significantly reduce the risk of drowning. Many children in Ontario do not have equitable access to swimming lessons outside of school due to financial, cultural or geographic barriers. The Ministry of Education has the authority to incorporate water safety and survival training into the regular elementary school curriculum as a universal, life-saving skill comparable to fire safety and road safety instruction. The City of Dryden , City of St. Catharines , and Niagara Regional Council have all recently adopted a call on the provincial government to add the Swim to Survive program to the elementary school curriculum for all Ontario students.
City Council on November 12 and 13, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council urge the Ontario Ministry of Education to incorporate mandatory water safety and Swim to Survive training into the elementary school curriculum for all Ontario students. 2. City Council forward this item to the provincial Minister of Education, all Toronto Members of Provincial Parliament, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, and all Ontario municipalities with a request for their endorsement.

The Listening to Toronto Survey serves as a foundational research tool for the City, providing valuable data on resident satisfaction, quality of life, and experiences with municipal services. This research enables Council and City staff to better understand public priorities, inform service delivery, and guide policy decisions that impact communities across Toronto. Currently, the survey is conducted citywide and yields statistically representative results for Toronto as a whole. However, it does not provide ward-level insights. Expanding the survey to achieve statistically significant data for each ward would enhance its value by identifying localized needs, highlighting geographic variations in satisfaction and service access, and supporting evidence-based decision-making at both the ward and citywide levels. This initiative aligns with the City's commitment to equity, accountability, and data-informed governance. A ward-level analysis would help identify investment gaps in services and social infrastructure, ensuring that resources are distributed in a manner that reflects community needs and priorities. As a comparative example, the City of Calgary's Fall Survey provides disaggregated data by ward, offering granular insights into residents' satisfaction with municipal services, perceptions of value for taxes, and outlook on the future. Calgary's approach demonstrates the benefits of localized data in supporting transparent governance, ward-level accountability, and improved community engagement.
City Council on November 12 and 13, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the City Manager to: a. explore opportunities to expand the Listening to Toronto Survey to produce statistically significant data at the ward level in future years, within current budget; and b. report back to the Executive Committee in the second quarter of 2026 with recommendations and options for implementation, including opportunities to pilot ward-level data collection in a future survey cycle, including: i. an assessment of potential sampling frameworks and associated cost implications; ii. additional consideration of methodological options to enhance demographic and geographic representation, including through enhanced public outreach strategies which include but are not limited to survey production in the top most-spoken languages in Toronto, survey promotion through paid advertisement, and engagement through local Councillor offices; and iii. a review of comparable municipal survey models, such as the City of Calgary Fall Survey, which disaggregates data by ward to support localized insights and findings.

Demand for shelter space in our city continues to increase year after year. We know this is only a band aid approach, and the real solution is to create permanent supportive affordable housing for our city's most vulnerable. On average, 4.4 percent of people experiencing homelessness in Canadian cities are veterans. Veterans (both Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, as defined by Veterans Affairs Canada) are more than twice as likely to experience homelessness compared to the general population. Veterans who courageously served our nation and made great sacrifices should not be living on our city's streets. As we commemorate their service during Veterans' Week, Indigenous Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, we must also remember the actions that all three levels of government should be taking to support them. Our Veterans fulfilled their duty to us; it is our responsibility to fulfill ours to them.
City Council on November 12 and 13, 2025, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the Deputy City Manager, Development and Growth Services, in consultation with CreateTO and other relevant agencies and divisions, to report back to the Planning and Housing Committee before the end of the third quarter of 2026 on: a. exploring opportunities to address housing needs of veterans through housing developments on City-owned land in accordance with the Toronto Builds policy framework; b. working with the community housing sector to identify sites that can be developed as affordable and supportive housing for veterans, subject to availability of sufficient capital and operating funding; c. working collaboratively with the Government of Canada on exploring any available and viable sites, such as Royal Canadian Legion branches in Toronto, and dedicated capital and operating funding for a permanent affordable and supportive housing site tailored specifically to homeless veterans; and d. consulting with Veterans' House Canada on best practices for their Edmonton and Ottawa affordable and supportive housing sites tailored specifically to homeless veterans.
