' During the year the Department responded to 779 alar~s; this ·is eight :more than last year;· a fe~_of ,those were false, gi yen by boys breaking the glass covering the locks on our. street boxes, and, notwithstanding the 'fact 'that a nuinber · of convictions. have taken place for this ·offence, the practice is still continued, causing a great deal . of unnecessary trouble for the Dep~rtment, and creating the danger of delay in answering alarms where their services mti,ght be· required. _ · The total loss by fire during the year amom1ted to $448,214.04; this is $158,128.57 less than last year, exclu­ sive of the conflagration·of April 19th of that year. Lbelieve­ that in no year of the Department's history ·have the efforts, of the Brigade been ~ore successful in keeping dowp the fire loss, t~king into consideration the number. of fires and the danger'"ous nature of the places in which they occur:red ; 6 TORONTO FIRE DEPARTMENT. this is borne out by the many letters of thanks and dona­ tions to the Firemen's Benefit Fund received from citizens whose property had been protected, and by the general comment of the public press.

ACCIDENTS. The members of the Department met with a large number of accidents during the year, and some of them of a very serious nature, but only one proved. fatal, that of Captain Worrell, who was instantly killed on the night of September 19th, while performing his duty at the fire in the Brown Millihg Co. 's building on the Esplanade, at the foot of Princess Street, by the sudden and unexpected ~o!lapse of the building. Captain Sargent was seriously 111Jnred at the same fire and is not yet able to resume duty. TORONTO- FIRE DJ!]PARTMENT. 7 HOUSES OR STATIONS. A, considerable amount of improvement has beep car­ ried out' at the different stations of· the Department. during, the year, notably new basement and hot water heating in , No. 9 Dundas Street, c.omplete hot water h~ating in No. 2 , Portland Street; enlarge,d stable accomi10dation in No. 1 · .Bay Street and No. 5 Lombard Street, to contain the · horses necessary for tho. heavy apparatus in those hduses. The qe_w l3erkeley Street station was completed and occu­ pied; triis, for its size, is one of the most up~to-date; an,d I believe the finest fire station on the continent, and is undoub~ed'iy a.credit to· the- City. The 1;ew stations on Cowa;nil,. Avenue a11,d Queen Street east Qf Woodbine Avenue are neaFing ·completio,n and will be i'ef1,dy fo_r occupation _in a few weeks. Ground has been secured or, .options obtained for the land necessary tp erect a new central fire statio1;1 to take the place of Bay Street, and ~lso a new station in the north,.we~t,part of the city. When those houses are com- ' pleted the Departmerit in this respect will be brought up pretty well to the City's requirerpents. APPARKTUS. The two 1,200-gallon engines equipped with rubber tires, built , by the Wat~rouf, · Ep_gine W arks Company, of . ,Brantford, were received and placed in commission during , the year, one at Bay Street 'to take the place of the '' W . P. Hubbard," which is now iµ Portland Street, taking the place of the old "J. B. Boustead," which· was becoming unreliable and is now kept in reserve; the other in Lombard Street taking the place of the "Ronald," formerly in Rich­ mond Street, and whi,ch is now transferred to the new-Berke­ ley Street Station. These two large engines, :;1re equipped _- with three horse hitches and are t-1ach drawn by thre.e horses; the large aerial truck at Lombard Street has also· been equipped in the same manner and is now drawn by 8 TORONTO FIRE DEPARTMENT. three horses; this is a most decided and marked imprm~e­ ment on the 'old two-horse system for heavy apparatus: The two large rubber tired hose wagons with divided boxes for carrying 21 Emd 3-inch hose, built by J. A. Darch & Co., were received and placed in ,commission, one at Bay Street, the other at Richmond Street, to accompany the large engjnes and carry an increased supply of hose for the centre of the City. The one-horse hose wagon at Ossington Avenue Station was replaced during the year by a two-horse wagon, thereby assuririg a quicker re''sponse to alarms and greater supply of hose, which was decidedly needed in this rapidly growing . part of the. City. HORSES. The horses in the Department are from year to year being kept up to a proper stand3:rcl of efficiency ; during the year nineteen new horses svere purchased, eleven considered unfit for service sold, and tvrn died, leaving 76 in . service; this is a1i incre·ase of six as cornparec1 ,Yith the final report of 1904.

STONE (1969) REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN A writer about books has stated that "those works are most valuable that set our thinking faculties in the fullest operation." Many such works are contained in the historic Central Collections which had been brought together over the years by the Toronto Public Library. Never before have so many people sought out the rich resources of these collections and it is a matter of some significance that this growing interest has increased during the first full year of their operation by the Metro Board.

  • COVID-19 Emergency Response
    STAFF REPORT 14. INFORMATION ONLY COVID-19 Emergency Response Date: April 27, 2020 To: Toronto Public Library Board From: City Librarian SUMMARY The purpose of this report to update the Toronto Public Library Board on Toronto Public Library’s (TPL’s) operations, services and responses to the COVID-19 public health emergency, and its integration with City of Toronto’s Incident Management System. TPL’s pandemic plan has been developed in accordance with the best practices of emergency management and business continuity, and in alignment with the City of Toronto planning, including the Toronto Public Health Plan for a Pandemic, and the City of Toronto Pandemic Integrated Corporate Response Plan. TPL’ s Pandemic Response Plan and the emergency response structure are provided in Attachments 1, 2 and 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT The emergency shut down of branches at the end of day on March 13 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will significantly impact TPL’s operating and capital budgets in a number of ways. Immediately following the shutdown, there were additional operating cost pressures, including the loss revenues from fines, printing and facility rentals. Some operating budget reliefs being experienced include savings in guard services, utilities, staff printing and office supplies. All staff continue to be paid. There are also additional costs being incurred related to setting up a remote workforce. Overall, for the first month of the shutdown, TPL estimates that there is a net operating budget pressure of nearly $1 million. As the shutdown continues, it is expected that lost revenues will continue, and additional savings will be realized for the operating budget, and this will be monitored and reported to the Board and City.

  • Toronto Public Library Response
    . STAFF REPORT 21 INFORMATION ONLY Toronto Overdose Action Plan – Toronto Public Library Response Date: September 25, 2017 To: Toronto Public Library Board From: City Librarian SUMMARY In February 2017, Toronto Public Health engaged TPL to participate in the planned response by city services to the Toronto Overdose Action Plan. As a result, Toronto Public Library adopted mandatory information/awareness overdose basics training for all public service staff provided by Toronto Public Health that is currently underway. Further review of training needs for public service staff was recommended and TPL has sought to partner with Toronto Public Health on future public education and promotion initiatives in support of the plan. As the year progressed, the city experienced further worsening of the opioid crisis. Previous barriers to accessing stock of naloxone, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, and the provision of in-person training in administration were removed, and the library system is preparing to offer expanded, voluntary training for staff if needed to respond to an overdose situation onsite. FINANCIAL IMPACT Online and in-person training is being provided for staff via Toronto Public Health at no cost. Arrangements are being made to acquire intranasal naloxone kits via the City of Toronto’s Material Management and Stores at the cost of $145 per pack (each pack contains two units of intranasal naloxone). Stock will be purchased on an as-need basis and distributed once qualified staff have completed training. There is a possibility that in the future some naloxone kits may be acquired from Toronto Public Health at no cost, but will be dependent on provincial funding still being determined.

  • The Use of Apprenticeship and Adoption by the Toronto Protestant Orphans’ Home, 1853–1869
    The Use of Apprenticeship and Adoption by the Toronto Protestant Orphans’ Home, 1853–1869 CHARLOTTE NEFF* While the Toronto Protestant Orphans’ Home, like other children’s homes of mid- to late-nineteenth-century Ontario, was established to make available long-term institutional care for dependent children, it also relied heavily on home placements. It made extensive use of both apprenticeship (binding out), which was a legally recognized and protected relationship, and adoption, which was not. The decisions of the Home’s female Managers were thus not driven by a rigid vision of the merits of institutional care or of what childhood should be like for their charges; rather, they dealt with each case individually, an approach that may be partially attributed to the maternal influence but also to pragmatic concerns. Home placement was an important feature of such care well before the implementation of the foster care system in 1893. Même si la Toronto Protestant Orphans’ Home avait été mise sur pied pour fournir des soins institutionnels de longue durée aux enfants à charge, à l’instar d’autres foyers pour enfants de l’Ontario du milieu et de la fin du XIXe siècle, elle comptait aussi grandement sur l’hébergement familial. Elle recourait de façon exhaustive à l’apprentissage (placement de travail en milieu familial), qui était une relation légalement reconnue et protégée, et à l’adoption, qui ne l’était pas. Les décisions des directrices de la maison n’étaient donc pas motivées par une vision rigide de ce que sont les mérites des soins institutionnelles ou de ce que l’enfance devrait être pour leurs protégés.

These laboratories conduct analyses in cases involving injury or death under unusual circumstances as well as crimes against persons or property. Law enforcement agencies, crown attorneys, defence counsel, coroners, pathologists and other official investigative agencies use the services of these government laboratories. When forensic expertise is sought by private individuals, corporations, and insurance companies, however, they must usually turn to forensic specialists working in the private sector.
