  • Cultural Facilities 030109
    A Map of Toronto’s Cultural Facilities A Cultural Facilities Analysis 03.01.10 Prepared for: Rita Davies Managing Director of Culture Division of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Prepared by: ERA Architects Inc. Urban Intelligence Inc. Cuesta Systems Inc. Executive Summary In 1998, seven municipalities, each with its own distinct cultural history and infrastructure, came together to form the new City of Toronto. The process of taking stock of the new city’s cultural facilities was noted as a priority soon after amalgamation and entrusted to the newly formed Culture Division. City Council on January 27, 2000, adopted the recommendations of the Policy and Finance Committee whereby the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism was requested to proceed with a Cultural Facilities Masterplan including needs assessment and business cases for new arts facilities, including the Oakwood - Vaughan Arts Centre, in future years. This report: > considers the City of Toronto’s role in supporting cultural facilities > documents all existing cultural facilities > provides an approach for assessing Toronto’s cultural health. Support for Toronto’s Cultural Facilities Through the Culture Division, the City of Toronto provides both direct and indirect support to cultural activities. Direct support consists of : > grants to individual artists and arts organizations > ongoing operating and capital support for City-owned and operated facilities. Indirect support consists of: > property tax exemptions > below-market rents on City-owned facilities > deployment of Section 37 development agreements. A Cultural Facilities Inventory A Cultural Facility Analysis presents and interprets data about Toronto’s cultural facilities that was collected by means of a GIS (Global Information System) database.

  • Scarborough Civic Centre Branch Library Project Enhancement Options
    Anne Bailey Director, Branch Libraries Toronto Public Library www.torontopubliclibrary.ca ________________________________________________________________ BRIEFING NOTE – Poverty Reduction Initiatives at Toronto Public Library _____________________________________________________________ Toronto Public Library has developed two initiatives for the City’s poverty reduction strategy in 2015, the Library Access – Fines Forgiveness program and Youth Hubs. What is the Library Access - Fine Forgiveness program? Library Access - Fine Forgiveness is a program to reinstate full library services and borrowing for children and youth at library branches in poverty areas by forgiving outstanding fines starting second quarter 2015, making summer reading programs, collections and after school programs fully accessible to the target audience. Children and youth registered at the 31 library branches and bookmobile stops delivering services to the Toronto Strong Neighbourhood Stratey (TSNS) 2020 neighbourhood improvement areas, whose library privileges are suspended, will be contacted and offered a forgiveness coupon so that full privileges are restored upon presentation of the coupon at the TSNS branch (Attachments 1 and 2). The program will be implemented in two phases. First, in spring 2015 the library will reach out to these children and teens to reinstate their privileges and invite them to join the summer reading club and participate in summer programs at their local branch. Second, in the fall as the school year gets underway, the Library will reach out again to children and teens registered at the TSNS branches with suspended cards, to reinstate their privileges and invite them back to the library. After school programs, reading support programs, collections, computer access and study spaces will be promoted. This campaign can be readily implemented and the outcomes will be tracked by branch.

  • 5. Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan
    5. SCARBOROUGH CENTRE SECONDARY PLAN Scarborough Centre is an important mix of retail, government, institutional, cultural, employment and residential uses. The Centre is at the core of an established employment corridor along Highway 401. As a mixed use area, the Scarborough Centre provides both employment and housing opportunities for workers and residents. The Centre is a focal point of transit; at the eastern end of the Scarborough Rapid Transit (SRT) line and at the hub of local and inter- regional surface transit lines. Scarborough Centre is also a destination point for surrounding communities; with a regional mall, municipal and federal government services and a variety of recreational, educational and community services. The Centre has the potential to welcome upwards of 40,000 residents and attract upwards of 23,000 jobs. Major objectives for the Scarborough Centre Secondary Plan, shown on Map 5-1, are to: (a) create a vibrant mix of employment, cultural, institutional, educational, recreational, commercial and residential uses; (b) ensure effective and efficient provision and use of transportation facilities and services; (c) enhance the Centre as a destination focus; (d) promote a high-quality urban form and a comfortable and safe environment; (e) improve open spaces, parks and linkages; (f) protect adjacent residential neighbourhoods; and (g) strengthen community identity. 1. PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESS: STRATEGIC POLICIES FOR THE SCARBOROUGH CENTRE Policies 1.1 The Centre will be an urban focal point for eastern Toronto where employment, housing, institutional, cultural, recreational, commercial and community services and transit will be concentrated in a dynamic mixed-use location. 1.2 The Centre will accommodate a mix of uses to create an attractive and comfortable environment for residents, workers and visitors to the Centre.
