  • 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.

  • CITY of STRATFORD Office of the Mayor His Worship Dan Mathieson
    CITY of STRATFORD Office of the Mayor His Worship Dan Mathieson City Hall, P. O. Box 818 Stratford, ON N5A 6W1 519-271-0250, ext. 234 [email protected] www.stra tfordcanada.ca October 6th, 2020 By Email [email protected] The Honourable Lisa MacLeod Minister of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries 6th Floor, 438 University Avenue Toronto, ON M5G 2K8 Dear Minister MacLeod: The Mayors of Southwestern Ontario (MOSO) are pleased to offer our support for the Southwestern Ontario Film Alliance proposal to create a Film and Production Hub in our region. We write to you today to request your government’s support for the expansion of film and television production in Ontario. In 2019, Ontario’s film and television industry created 45,000 jobs and contributed over $2 billion to the provincial economy. However, the industry is concentrated in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and Northern Ontario due to the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund, which rebates up to 50% of production expenditures. Consequently, Southwestern Ontario has been excluded from this expanding industry. The need for increased economic activity in our region could not be more urgent amid the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the arts and culture sector. For example, the Stratford Festival was forced to cancel their 2020 season due to the ongoing public health crisis, putting 1000 staff, crew, and cast members out of work. Significantly, the Festival is the driving force of Stratford’s economy, and is the catalyst for $135 million in annual economic activity our region. The creation of a film and production hub in Southwestern Ontario could create much- needed opportunities for our highly valued arts and culture industry, as well as our substantial tourism and hospitality sector.

  • Ontario's Big City Mayors Call for Proof of Vaccination and Childcare
    Ontario’s Big City Mayors Call for Proof of Vaccination and Childcare Plan August 13, 2021 – Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM) are urging the province to establish a COVID-19 proof of vaccination system. Around the world, certified vaccination records are helping businesses and event spaces to safely open while encouraging more people to get vaccinated. This will help reduce a fourth wave in Ontario as well. Organizations as diverse as the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, CFIB, the Ontario Science table, colleges and universities, are all calling for such a system. “The faster we can enact a proof of vaccination system, the faster we can protect more Ontarians from the effects of the Delta variant,” said Jeff Lehman, Chair of OBCM and Mayor of Barrie. “This will support the safe reopening of our economy and protect our residents”. Childcare Plan OBCM also passed a motion calling on the provincial government to reach an agreement on the $10 per day federal childcare plan to support the economy and reduce household expenses for Ontarians. Ontario’s strong fiscal management throughout the pandemic creates the opportunity to implement this economy strengthening social program. The OBCM caucus urges the provincial government to join the seven other provinces who have reached agreements in providing quality affordable childcare to families. Childcare has been unaffordable and inaccessible to families across the province long before the pandemic began. The pandemic compounded this equity issue and resulted in more women exiting the workforce to care for their children. Ensuring Ontarians have access to affordable childcare will remove a financial burden from families and help kickstart economic recovery.

  • Statement from Ontario's Big City Mayors
    Ontario’s Big City Mayors focus on improving mental health and addictions services May 28, 2021 – The Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM) Mental Health Working Committee presented draft recommendations to support and complement the Province’s Road to Wellness plan which seeks to improve mental health and addictions services across Ontario. Committee co-chairs Mayor Marianne Meed Ward of Burlington and Mayor Darrin Canniff of Chatham-Kent have led discussions with the working committee over the past several weeks to develop actionable policies to fill service gaps, address wait times, and strengthen prevention efforts. Once this important groundwork is complete, OBCM will advocate for the proposed recommendations and collaborate with other levels of government and local service providers to ensure residents can access the help they need, where and when they need it. “Our municipalities are ready and eager to support the province as it works to improve mental health and addictions supports. Real change won’t be easy, but the pandemic has taught us that we can face any challenge when we do it together,” said Mayor Jeff Lehman, Chair of the OBCM. “Once our recommendations are finalized, we look forward to sharing them with our provincial partners and advocating for the changes we need in our communities.” Advocating for Changes to the Municipal Code of Conduct The caucus was pleased to welcome Minister Jill Dunlop for an open discussion on the municipal code of conduct as the province undertakes a consultation process.

  • Ontario's Big City Mayors Call for Action on Ambitious Mental Health
    Ontario’s Big City Mayors call for action on ambitious mental health and addictions plan Posted on Jun 21, 2021 June 18, 2021 – Ontario’s Big City Mayors (OBCM) are joining mental health leaders and Chiefs of Police in calling for the decriminalization of controlled substances and the continued creation and funding of Mental Health Crisis Response Units. These units combine trained mental health professionals and police officers to respond to identified low-risk crisis calls and wellness checks. OBCM is not alone in advocating in these changes. Mental health and substance use experts have been advocating for reforms for years. Opioid poisonings, hospitalizations, and deaths have been on a dangerous incline. The Ontario Drug Policy Research Network reported 2,426 opioid-related deaths in 2020, a 60 per cent increased over 2019, making 2020 the worst year on record since tracking began. It has never been clearer that action is needed now. While the provincial government is responsible for funding and coordinating mental health and addictions supports, all levels of government have a role to play in improving services for our residents. “Now is the time to be bold,” said Jeff Lehman, Chair of OBCM and Mayor of Barrie. “Our call for policy change is consistent with OBCM’s growing mandate to advocate for the resources our residents and communities need. The province’s Roadmap to Wellness plan is a good plan and we want to work together to implement it vigorously. We look forward to working closely with the province to bring this plan into reality.” “Mental Health Crisis Response Teams are tried and tested in municipalities across the province.
