Report Regarding the Conduct of Former Councillor Jim Karygiannis
In February 2020, the Office of the Integrity Commissioner received three complaints about the conduct of then Councillor Jim Karygiannis arising from articles in the Toronto Star dated February 8 and 11, 2020. The articles reported that he had: (1) shielded his political supporters from bylaw enforcement measures or wrongfully reported political opponents to City officials as political payback; and, (2) improperly entered constituents' homes for purposes of determining whether they were illegal rooming houses. As the allegations in the complaints were based on the same information, they were investigated jointly and are reported in a single report. The complaints alleged Mr. Karygiannis contravened Article VIII (Improper Use of Influence) and Article XIV (Discreditable Conduct) of the Code of Conduct for Members of Council. In the course of the investigation, the evidence showed Mr. Karygiannis had not followed the requirements of the Human Resources Management and Ethical Framework for Members' Staff (the "Ethical Framework"). After an investigation, the Integrity Commissioner found that there was insufficient evidence to conclude that Mr. Karygiannis had wrongfully used his office to shield his political supporters or report political opponents to the City (contrary to Article VIII), or had entered homes under false pretenses (contrary to Article XIV). However, it was found that he entered two residential properties without permission and, in two other cases, inappropriately took pictures of people in their homes, which is discreditable conduct for purposes of Article XIV (Discreditable Conduct). The Integrity Commissioner also found that the failure follow the Ethical Framework was contrary to Article XV (Failure to Adhere to Council Policies and Procedures). Mr. Karygiannis is no longer a member of City Council. Therefore, the Integrity Commissioner makes no recommendation as to penalty or remedial action.
City Council on October 1 and 4, 2021, deferred consideration of Item DM36.1 to the November 9 and 10, 2021 meeting of City Council.
Staff recommendation as filed
The Integrity Commissioner recommends that: 1. Council adopt a finding that former Councillor Jim Karygiannis contravened Article XIV (Discreditable Conduct) and Article XV (Failure to Adhere to Council Policies and Procedures).

MM36.1adopted
A liquor licence application has been submitted to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for the premises at 2009 Lawrence Avenue West, Unit 3, operating as La Piton Banquet Hall (the "Premises"). The application is for an indoor area with a proposed capacity of over 30 people. This Motion requests that City Council advise the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that the application for a liquor licence at the Premises is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the municipality in which the premises are located. This Premises is located in a plaza with commercial units, all of which are in close proximity to each other. The plaza itself is in close proximity to residential units that abut the Premises to the south. There are concerns that an establishment at this location, with a liquor license will cause noise and other disturbances to residents and business owners in the area. During the Province's regulated stay-at-home orders, Toronto Police Service Officers responded to several noise complaints and large gatherings at and outside the Premises, including for events held after the normal stop service time for establishments that have liquor licences. My office has also received communications from local residents with concerns of disturbances arising from the Premises. Under no circumstance should the Premises be granted a liquor sales license. This matter is deemed urgent as the deadline to object to the application was August 21, 2021.
City Council on October 1 and 4, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario ("Registrar") that the liquor licence application for La Piton Banquet Hall, 2009 Lawrence Avenue West, Unit 3 (the "Premises"), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents and that the Registrar should issue a Proposal to Refuse the liquor licence application. 2. City Council request the Licence Appeal Tribunal to provide the City with an opportunity to be made a party in any proceedings with respect to the Premises. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend all proceedings before the Licence Appeal Tribunal in this matter and City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take all necessary action so as to give effect to this Motion, including determining whether the application ought to be refused outright.

- O Canada - Moment of Silence
CALL TO ORDER: 9:35 a.m. Speaker Nunziata took the Chair and called the Members to order. The meeting opened with O Canada. October 1, 2021 Speaker Nunziata acknowledged that City Council was meeting on 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. Speaker Nunziata also acknowledged that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit. Speaker Nunziata called upon Mayor Tory to address City Council about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Mayor Tory addressed City Council with respect to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation observed on September 30th in the City of Toronto and across the country. Mayor Tory remarked that the day was established to recognize the ongoing trauma caused by the residential and day schools and to recognize those who were lost, survivors, their families and communities. Mayor Tory noted that it was also a day to recognize the broader injustices on a broader scale and to commit to doing better to act in a manner consistent with values shared with the indigenous community as well as all Torontonians. Mayor Tory observed that National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is day to commemorate each year from this year forward, it is a day that indigenous community members advocated for and the decision to establish the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation was the right thing to do. Mayor Tory stated that after a very tragic summer with the discovery of unmarked graves, we were all reminded of a hard truth of those parts of Canada's history that were shameful, and this Day was an important additional step in acknowledging that part of Canada's history. Mayor Tory commented that by having to acknowledge Canada's history, we can continue to move forward together and take tangible action to support indigenous communities and to ensure that we are doing everything we can as a City to make that happen. Mayor Tory noted that he was encouraged by the engagement that happened with people coming out to the events to acknowledge the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Mayor Tory advised Members that at the event at Evergreen Brickworks, he was incredibly moved by what he had heard from survivors of the residential school and day school system. Mayor Tory spoke of the grace, patience and strength shown by those survivors who shared their experiences as part of the residential school and day school system. Mayor Tory, on behalf of Members of Council and the Toronto Public Service, pledged that the City would do better and that the City is already trying to do better. Mayor Tory acknowledged the work done by the Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee to help us forge the right path. Mayor Tory noted that Toronto is home to thousands of indigenous people who themselves are impacted, either directly or indirectly, by the residential school and day school system. Mayor Tory, on behalf of the City, said that our thoughts are with the survivors of the residential school and day school system who live with the tragic consequences of that history each day and every day and the families and communities of those children who never came home. Mayor Tory advised that the City's commemoration on September 30th was guided by consultations with indigenous leaders, the community and City staff, and was a great day for public education. Mayor Tory thanked everyone involved in bringing people together. Mayor Tory spoke of the Spirit Garden that will be located at Nathan Phillips Square and what an important place it will be to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in the future. Mayor Tory encouraged Members to work together and said he looked forward to seeing other work come to fruition such as the Healing Lodge in Scarborough. Mayor Tory committed that we will stand by our fellow residents who are indigenous and do what is right. Members of Council observed a moment of silence. Speaker Nunziata advised Council of the following: For the benefit of those who are connected to the internet, the City Clerk has posted all of the agenda materials for today's meeting at toronto.ca/council. Members, although Civic Buildings, including City Hall are currently closed to the public, I want to emphasize that today's Council meeting is being conducted publicly and is being streamed live on YouTube. I want to welcome the public who are watching our meeting this morning. Speaker Nunziata, during the afternoon session of the meeting, called upon Mayor John Tory to address City Council. Mayor John Tory acknowledged the passing of the Honourable William Grenville Davis, also known as "Bill Davis". Mayor Tory spoke of Bill Davis as his friend, his mentor, his colleague, his boss and as one of Canada's greatest leaders. Mayor Tory noted that Bill Davis was 18th Premier of Ontario, a position he held for fourteen years and was a Member of Provincial Parliament for twenty-five years. Mayor Tory remarked that Bill Davis was a decent man with incredible integrity and balance. Mayor Tory noted that Bill Davis was forward thinking for establishing an Anti-Racism Secretariat in the Province of Ontario over forty years ago, and for creating the first Ministry of the Environment in North America in 1971. Bill Davis also had an instrumental role in the establishment of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Mayor Tory acknowledged Bill Davis' place in the history of the City of Toronto in securing the location of the Sky Dome/Rogers Centre, ensuring that Ontario Place thrived and that it was kept as a family place, working in building the public education system, particularly the establishment of a network of colleges and helping stop the Spadina Expressway. Mayor Tory acknowledged the profound impact Bill Davis had on the City of Toronto and how the City evolved. Mayor Tory remarked that the role that Bill Davis was most proud of was the role as a husband, a father, a grandfather and a great grandfather. Mayor Tory extended his personal condolences and the condolences of the Members of City Council and the people of the City of Toronto to the Honourable William Grenville Davis's family. Members of Council observed a moment of silence and remembered: Honourable William Grenville Davis (Bill Davis) Joseph "Jo Jo" Bennett Heather de Veber Gilbert LaForme Aldo Egidio Lista Graham Murray Thane Murray Captain Sardar Bakhshish Singh Ji Randhawa Francisco Rico-Martinez Adalbert Sausik Terence (Terry) Gordon Sheard Nancy Ellen Singer Allan Slaight Nicholas Peter (Nick) Volpe Councillor Wong-Tam acknowledged the passing of Thane Murray who was fatally shot on September 18, 2021.

The City was inadvertently conveyed surplus parkland as part of the development application at 2131 Yonge Street and 32 Hillsdale Avenue East (the "Transfer"). This report seeks instruction to correct the Transfer by re-conveying the surplus parkland back to the applicant. On February 10, 2016, the City entered into agreement with 2131 Yonge Developments GP Limited (the "Applicant") under s.37 of the Planning Act (the "Section 37 Agreement"). Under the Section 37 Agreement, the Applicant agreed to provide facilities to the City in exchange for increases to the height and density permitted under the applicable zoning by-law. The facilities included providing the City with 1,100 square metres of parkland, to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Parks Forestry and Recreation of the City of Toronto. The parkland area was generally defined as Parts 4 to 11 on the draft reference plan attached to the Section 37 Agreement (the "Draft Reference Plan"). The Draft Reference Plan became Registered Reference Plan 66R-29414. On May, 14, 2020, the Applicant conveyed the City Parts 4 - 13, and 15 on Registered Reference Plan 66R-29414. In late 2020, the Applicant's solicitor became aware that Parts 13, and 15 were inadvertently conveyed to the City and were not required to meet the obligations under the Section 37 Agreement. Following review by staff, it was determined that Part 15 contains gas meters, and Part 13 contains an encroaching garage. Staff from Parks Forestry and Recreation and Legal Services have reviewed the original transfer and concur that Parts 13 and 15 should not form part of the parkland, and should be re-conveyed back to the Applicant. Staff from Parks, Forestry and Recreation do not want Parts 13 and 15 to be included in the parkland.
City Council on October 1 and 4, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to take the necessary steps to transfer the lands described as Parts 13 and 15 on Reference Plan 66R-29414 back to the Applicant, for nominal consideration, at the Applicant's expense and to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor.

Presidential Leasing Inc. (Toronto Yachts) has applied for a new liquor licence for a boat with an indoor capacity of 9 patrons and an outdoor capacity of 9 patrons to be moored at 11 Polson Street (the "Premises"). Currently, the Rebel Nightclub (Rebel) and Cabana Pool Bar (Cabana) operate on the property at 11 Polson Street, as a nightclub and indoor concert venue, and as a large outdoor entertainment area. Rebel and Cabana currently operates with a liquor licence for a capacity of 3163 patrons indoors and 2510 patrons outdoors. From 1996 to 2006, 11 Polson Street was occupied by 1132165 Ontario Limited, operating under the name Docks by Cherry (the "Docks"). The Docks contained an indoor licenced area for approximately 3000 patrons, and an outdoor licenced area for approximately 7000 patrons. On July 24, 2006, following a twenty six day hearing held at the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario the liquor licence for the Docks was revoked. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario determined that it was not in the public interest having regards to the needs and wishes of the residents for the Docks to retain its liquor licence. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario based their decision primarily on the evidence of several residents of Algonquin and Ward's Islands (the "Toronto Islands") regarding repeated noise impacts from the Docks on their daily lives. The noise originated from both indoor and outdoor music events that included concerts and festival events. In October 2007, Polson Pier Entertainment Inc. (Polson Pier) applied for a new liquor licence at 11 Polson Street. The City and the Toronto Island Noise Committee objected to the application. In advance of a hearing at the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario Polson Pier, Toronto Island Noise Committee, and the City reached a settlement on conditions that were placed on the licence. In May 2014, Polson Pier submitted an application to the Licence Appeal Tribunal to remove or amend several conditions from the licence, primarily relating to noise and the restriction on outdoor live events. The City and Toronto Island Noise Committee objected to this application. On March 3, 2015, two days prior to a scheduled 7-day hearing at the Licence Appeal Tribunal, the Licensee withdrew their application. In May 2015, Powerhouse Corporation (Powerhouse) submitted an application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario for a new liquor licence at 11 Polson Street, while continuing to operate under an existing licence. The City, Toronto Island Noise Committee and the York Quay Residents' Association objected to this application, and following a 17 day hearing at the Licence Appeal Tribunal throughout 2017, a new liquor licence was approved that contained several conditions attached to it. One condition prohibits any amplified sound on, or directed to the outdoor licenced area, at any time. Powerhouse appealed the decision to the Divisional Court in order to have the outdoor noise condition removed from the licence. The appeal was denied and Powerhouse has sought leave to the Court of the Appeal. Powerhouse continues to operate Rebel and Cabana at 11 Polson Street under the existing liquor licence. The City objects to the application for a new liquor licence at the Premises. The evidence presented at the Licence Appeal Tribunal showed that for many years noise from Rebel and Cabana has been disturbing the residents of the Toronto Islands. The Licence Appeal Tribunal determined that it was not in the public interest to permit amplified sound on the licenced outdoor area. Adding an additional licenced area at 11 Polson Street, on a boat moored at this property, can only increase disturbances for the residents of the Toronto Islands. The current application at 11 Polson Street is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents. At a minimum, this application for a liquor licence is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. Urgent consideration is being requested as the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario deadline for objections to this application was on September 3, 2021.
City Council on October 1 and 4, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that the issuance of a new liquor licence for the boat to be moored at 11 Polson Street (the "Premises"), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents, and that the Registrar should issue a either a Proposal to Review or a Proposal to Refuse the liquor licence application. 2. City Council request the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and the Licence Appeal Tribunal to provide the City of Toronto with an opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to the Premises. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to attend all proceedings before the Licence Appeal Tribunal in this matter and direct the City Solicitor to take all necessary action so as to give effect to this Motion, including determining whether the application ought to be refused outright or whether the application can be supported with conditions to the liquor licence, all in consultation with the Ward Councillor.

Protecting Healthcare Workers - by Councillor Mike Colle, seconded by Councillor Shelley Carroll
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, frontline workers have been the backbone of Toronto's pandemic response. Hardworking nurses, doctors, and healthcare workers continue to provide life-saving medical services and have delivered millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccinations in record time. As well, small businesses, and the employees that keep them operating, have risked their own health to keep people fed and maintain access to essential goods and services throughout the pandemic. These hardworking individuals are now facing systemic obstruction by anti-vaxxer protesters. While Toronto City Council recognizes the fundamental right of all citizens to protest peacefully, all forms of harassment, intimidation, and violence against citizens and businesses are never acceptable and appropriate action should be taken in response.
City Council on October 1 and 4, 2021, adopted the following: 1. City Council request the Province of Ontario to create temporary safe access zones around hospitals, healthcare facilities, COVID-19 testing centres, and vaccine clinics to ensure harassment free access to the regular and critical functioning of these facilities. 2. City Council request the City Manager and the Toronto Police Services Board to work with Chief of Police James Ramer and the Toronto Police Service to develop a rapid response protocol for addressing harassment and intimidation of frontline healthcare workers, small business owners, and frontline retail employees by anti-vaxxer protestors. 3. City Council request the City Manager, in consultation with the City Solicitor, to explore the feasibility of temporary "safe zones" of 100 metres around hospitals, healthcare facilities, COVID-19 testing centres, and vaccine clinics to prevent anti-vaxxer protestors from delaying the regular and critical functioning of these facilities. 4. Due to the urgent nature of these matters, City Council request the City Manager and the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Toronto Police Services Board, to report back to City Council on the progress of Parts 2 and 3 above at the next meeting of City Council on November 9 and 10, 2021.
