  • Back in the Tower Again
    MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position.
