  Inventory of City-delivered Services Offered in French: Feasibility Study

  Creating a comprehensive inventory of services that are delivered by the City of Toronto to the public and are offered in French is feasible, but will require staff to be reassigned away from their current duties.

  Requesting Update on Rejoining the Association française des municipalités de l’Ontario (AFMO)

  In our review of the Item FA4.2 on our agenda, we believe that the City of Toronto joining with other municipalities will be a key part of advocating for improved funding from the provincial government for improved municipally delivered French services. In 2021, City Council directed the City Manager to join the Association française des municipalités de l'Ontario (AFMO) (in item 2021.EX22.12). This motion seeks an update from the City Manager's Office on the status of this work.

  The Toronto Francophone Affairs Advisory Committee recommends that: 1. The Economic and Community Development Committee request the City Manager to report back to the Toronto Francophone Affairs Advisory Committee by the end of 2025 on the status of the City of Toronto rejoining the Association française des municipalités de l'Ontario as previously directed in item 2021.EX22.12, in consideration of AFMO's role in advocating for improved provincial funding for municipally-delivered French services.
