Introduction to the Report and West Toronto Sub-Region 4 Planning at the Sub-Region Level • One of the key Strategic Priorities that underpins the goals of the Toronto Central LHIN strategic plan is Taking a Population Health Approach, which will direct how we plan, prioritize, fund, and partner with other organizations to target the needs of the population and the sub-populations within. • This begins with a strong understanding of what our current and future patients’ needs and wants are in order to improve their health status and experience with health care. This information will help to identify neighbourhoods and population segments that may need targeted interventions to achieve the desired and equitable outcomes reflected in our goals. • A population based approach integrates the full spectrum of health care delivery – from preventing disease (e.g. health promotion) to treatment (e.g. tertiary care). Health is greatly influenced by the social determinants of health – including our environment, our social status, education, employment, gender and culture. The profiles illustrate the diversity of the population of the Toronto Central LHIN, and form a basis of understanding of the variations in populations that can impact our health outcomes. 5 Data Sources, Considerations and Report Structure • Data was obtained from multiple sources for the report and years of data may vary as they are based on the most recent year available for the particular database. There may be minor differences in rates and numbers reported for different indicators due to rounding, use of different data sources and/or timing of data extraction. • As we get more information, we will update indicators or add new indicators. • Sub-regions are built from Statistics Canada Census Tracts. • The report is divided out into 5 sections and some are further sub-divided into sub-sections. Each section starts with a summary of the highlights and then information for individual selected indicators. • For each indicator, information is presented at LHIN, sub-region and wherever possible at neighbourhood level. The top 2 or 3 rates for neighbourhoods which indicate greater health risk in the summary slides are highlighted in pink. • Similar slide decks are being prepared for each of the sub-regions and will be posted on the Toronto Central LHIN website. Additional informational information on sub-regions is available on Toronto Central LHIN website: http://www.torontocentrallhin.on.ca/forhsps/crosssectortables.aspx 6 About the West Toronto Sub-Region St. Joseph’s Health Centre West Park Rehab High Park Mount Dennis Roncesvalles Stonegate CHC • Bounded by Eglinton Ave. West to the north, the Canadian National Railway to the East, Lake Ontario to the south, Islington Ave. (North) and Kipling Ave (South) to the West. • The region contains 14 neighbourhoods and a very small proportion of one neighbourhood (Islington City Centre West). There are 3 designated neighbourhood Improvement Areas (Mount Dennis, South Parkdale, and Rockcliffe Smythe) along with higher-income neighbourhoods such as Kingsway South and Runnymede Bloor West Village. • Please note: Islington City Centre West has not been included in this profile as the majority is located in 7 Mississauga Halton LHIN. Also, Edenbridge-Humber Valley has a small portion that lies in Central LHIN.

Population Characteristics A) Population Demographics B) Cultural and Socioeconomic Diversity Additional detailed information is available in Appendix A 11 Key Highlights – Population Demographics and Diversity • West Toronto has a slightly higher proportion of children and youth (ages 0-19) in 2011 (20%) compared to Toronto Central LHIN (18.8%). Lambton Baby Point and Mount Dennis has the highest proportion of children and youth in West Toronto at 26.5% and 25.7% respectively. • The percentage of the West Toronto population that is over 65 years (2011) at 13.7% is similar to the Toronto Central LHIN average (13.1%). Half of the neighbourhoods of West Toronto have a higher percentage than the Toronto Central LHIN average of seniors living alone. • West Toronto has the highest proportion of residents who speak English only (85.3%) among the sub-regions. This is also higher than the Toronto Central LHIN average of 83.2%. The top 3 most common languages spoken at home other than English are Spanish, Polish and Portuguese. • West Toronto has a lower proportion of visible minorities (28.6%) relative to Toronto Central LHIN (33.6%). The most heavily represented visible minorities relative to Toronto Central LHIN are of people with a Latin American Descent. • Neighbourhoods with the highest levels of marginalization include Rockcliffe-Smythe and South Parkdale. • Roncesvalles, Rockcliffe-Smythe, Mount Dennis, New Toronto, and South Parkdale neighbourhoods have median private household income below that of the City of Toronto. 12 2a) Population Demographics 13 Data Limitations • The 2011 Census and National Household Survey (NHS), and Tax filer data were the main sources for this Population Demographic section. • Information on visible minorities, immigration, education, labour, and Aboriginal identity were collected as part of the 2011 National Household Survey by Statistics Canada. The National Household Survey was a voluntary survey and subject to non-response bias especially in areas where non-response rates exceeded 25%, the threshold for suppression for the 2011 Census. Non-response bias is a common issue with voluntary surveys and a reflection of the tendency that people who are inclined to respond to a survey have different characteristics from people who do not respond. Consequently, marginalized or underrepresented subpopulations are likely undercounted in the National Household Survey and comparisons between the National Household Survey and previous Censuses should be considered to be unreliable. • Population estimates provided in the following profile should be considered as an approximate estimate of the population, rather than a true, full count of

  • TO360 City-Wide District Naming Web Consultation Report
    Toronto 360 Wayfinding Strategy TO360 Citywide District Naming Web Consultation Final Report March 2019 1. Background About TO360 The Toronto 360 (TO360) Wayfinding Strategy is an effort to help people find their way by making streets, neighbourhoods, and the city more legible. Following the successful completion of a pilot project in the Financial District in 2015, the City of Toronto began a five-year rollout in select parts of Toronto. This rollout is focused on developing a mapping database that will support the future production of wayfinding maps. The project is led by the City of Toronto’s Transportation Services Division working with consultants Steer, T-Kartor, and Swerhun Inc. In Year One of the project (Fall 2017 – Spring 2018), the TO360 team developed a map database for the area bounded roughly by Lake Ontario, Royal York Rd, St. Clair Ave, and Warden Ave. Now in Year Two (Fall 2018 – Spring 2019), the team is further developing the database for additional areas, including: Yonge St from Steeles Ave to Merton St, between Avenue Rd and just east of Bayview Ave; Eglinton Ave from Dufferin St to Cleveland St, between Glencairn Ave and Merton St; and the areas around Scarborough Civic Centre, bounded by Sheppard Ave E, Midland Ave, St. Andrews Ave, and Markham Rd. The TO360 team delivered the first of two rounds of consultation for Year Two in November 2018. Round One consisted of four Local Stakeholder Mapping Workshops within the Year Two mapping area. At these workshops, the team sought feedback from representatives of local Residents’ Associations, Business Improvement Areas, “Friends of” parks groups, and local pedestrian advocacy groups on District Names, walking routes and barriers, active areas, places of interest, and landmarks.

  • Planning and Design in Ontario: Then and Now Today’S City Is Not an Accident
    Planning and Design in Ontario: Then and Now Today’s city is not an accident. Its form is usually unintentional, but it is not accidental.

  • Calls for Suspected Opioid Overdoses Geographic Information
    TORONTO OVERDOSE INFORMATION SYSTEM Prepared by Toronto Public Health August 2018 Calls to Paramedic Services for Suspected Opioid Overdoses Geographic Information Key Messages: Data from Toronto Paramedic Services (TPaS) show that the highest concentration of calls for suspected opioid overdoses were in the downtown area over the past year. The top five neighbourhoods and top ten main intersections with the highest number of calls were all in the downtown area, bounded roughly by Bathurst Street to the West, Bloor Street to the North, the Don Valley Parkway to the East, and Lake Ontario to the south. However, opioid overdoses are occurring all across Toronto. Other areas where TPaS responded to calls included to the east and west of the downtown core, and parts of Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough. Please review the Data Notes section for more information. This information will be posted online and updated on a regular basis at www.toronto.ca/health/overdosestats. Data Notes: • Information is preliminary and subject to change pending further review of the data source. • The data provided in this document includes only instances where 911 is called and likely underestimates the true number of overdoses in the community. • The data include cases where the responding paramedic suspects an opioid overdose. This may differ from the final diagnosis in hospital or cause of death determined by the coroner. • The information in this report refers to the total number of calls (i.e. fatal and non- fatal cases combined). Over the one-year period, there were 3,197 calls with valid geographic information occurring within the boundaries of the City of Toronto.
