  • OSWCA Brings Water Reform Message to Queen's Park
    OSWCA brings water reform message to Queen’s Park By Don Wall May 20, 2016 Bolstered by a comprehensive new report on their sector, members of the Ontario Sewer and Watermain Construction Association (OSWCA) descended on Queen’s Park this week seeking support for policy reform. The study, titled Bringing Sustainability to Ontario's Water System, was co-authored by Michael Fenn, whose resume includes service as deputy minister under three Ontario premiers, and economist Harry Kitchen, professor emeritus at Trent University who has completed more than 100 articles and studies on governance. The report contained numerous recommendations on water and sewer policy but the OSWCA Ontario Sewer and Watermain Construction leadership opted for two main messages as they Association president Sam Morra (left) meets with lobbied cabinet ministers, MPPs and policy provincial Minister of the Environment Glen advisors in teams on May 16. Murray and OSWCA executive direction Giovanni Cautillo during a reception at Queen’s Park on OSWCA president Sam Morra summed up the key May 16 as OSWCA unveiled a new report on water points in an address during a reception held in the and wastewater policy. - Photo: DON WALL main legislative dining room. "Some estimates put the water infrastructure deficit at $40 billion and it grows by about a billion dollars per year," said Morra. "The OSWCA has looked at this gap and we think there are two major things that have to happen. Number one, we need to keep the infrastructure gap from widening, so we need a single line item in the provincial budget dedicated to water and wastewater infrastructure, just like they have in the federal budget.

    January 5, 2018 Hon. Helena Jaczek Minister of Community and Social Services 6th Floor, Hepburn Block 80 Grosvenor Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 1E9 Dear Minister Jaczek, On behalf of the Association of Local Public Health Agencies (alPHA) and the Ontario Public Health Association (OPHA), we are writing to provide feedback on the recently released “Income Security: A Roadmap for Change” report. Our associations, representing the public health sector, are member-based and not-for-profit. OPHA represents the public health workforce and is comprised of a diverse membership of 10 public health and community health associations and individuals from the public health, health care, academic, voluntary and private sector. alPHa provides leadership to the boards of health and public health units in Ontario. Membership is open to the 36 public health units in Ontario. alPHa works closely with board of health members, medical and associate medical officers of health, and senior public health managers in each of the public health disciplines – nursing, inspections, nutrition, dentistry, health promotion, epidemiology and business administration. Together, our associations have established a joint Work Group on Health Equity. The Work Group focuses on advocating for policies at all levels that reduce inequities in health and on promoting activities that address the social and economic determinants of health within the mandate of public health units in Ontario. The interest of our members in seeing improvements made to the provincial social security system arises from our understanding of current research linking lower incomes with poorer health status and outcomes. This link is also well outlined in the Roadmap Report.

    January 5, 2018 Hon. Helena Jaczek, MPP Minister of Community and Social Services 80 Grosvenor St, Hepburn Block - 6th Floor Toronto ON M7A 1E9 Dear Minister Jaczek, On behalf of the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario (SSO) we welcome the opportunity to provide our comments and recommendations on the report, “Income Security: A Roadmap for Change” (The Roadmap). A charitable health organization, SSO has been the lead community organization providing supports to individuals, families, caregivers and communities affected by schizophrenia and psychosis across the province for over 30 years. Our organization continues to fill a critical service gap across this province when individuals and families have nowhere else to turn. SSO has long advocated for income security for people affected by schizophrenia and psychosis and their families. As you are aware, people with mental health disabilities continue to face considerable barriers to full participation in society and make up nearly half of ODSP clients in Ontario, with psychoses, such as schizophrenia, accounting for about 20 per cent of these cases. Onset of schizophrenia, a serious but treatable mental health disability that affects about one per cent of the population, is generally in adolescence or early adulthood, often disrupting education and career goals. At the same time, stigma, discrimination and lack of accommodation may prevent people with schizophrenia from meaningfully participating in educational, employment and social pursuits. However, recovery, a non-linear, individualized process, is possible and many people with schizophrenia can and do live full and productive lives. Treatments and supports, such as counselling, medication, supportive housing, income security and social recreation work in combination to support people throughout their recovery.

  • IN TORONTO Alexandra Flynn a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty
    RE-IMAGINING LOCAL GOVERNANCE: THE LANDSCAPE OF “LOCAL” IN TORONTO Alexandra Flynn A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Osgoode Hall Law School York University Toronto, Ontario July 2017 Ó Alexandra Flynn 2017 Abstract In 1997, the Province of Ontario formed the City of Toronto, amalgamating one regional and six small municipalities into a single city government. This action altered the formal institutions of local governance, replacing what was once regional with a City Council meant to represent “city-wide” issues, and without providing a clear model for local or smaller-than-city decision-making. The purpose of this dissertation is to conceptualize the meaning of “local governance” within the City of Toronto as a result of the overlap of wards (as represented by councillors), community councils, business improvement areas and neighbourhood associations, each of which claim geographical boundaries as justification for the representation of locally-based populations, and claim to be open to participation to some degree. This research asks whether the overlap of these bodies has unrecognized consequences, in particular, the effect on historically marginalized residents. This dissertation offers a theoretical conceptualization of “local governance” grounded in legal pluralism and legal geography that presents the city as a set of uneven and overlapping local legal spaces operating on multiple scales. Using a mixed methods approach that includes doctrinal review, case studies, and semi-structured interviews, the dissertation finds that wards dominate the law and practice of local decision-making, and do not represent an inclusive local governance model in Toronto.

  • Toronto City Summit Alliance Steering Committee
    For immediate release Politicians urged to tackle traffic woes 87% of residents say public transit should be regional spending priority Toronto – April 29, 2014 – On the eve of a new provincial budget, a majority of residents in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) say they are more likely to vote for politicians who support new, dedicated dollars to get us moving. That’s the message CivicAction and a coalition of nearly two dozen business, labour, health, community, and environmental groups are delivering to Ontario MPPs and party leaders. The group points to the results of an April Angus Reid Forum poll* showing that 87% of GTHA residents want to see transportation as a regional spending priority, and 83% said they would more likely support new taxes or fees if they were put into a dedicated fund for transportation. Half of the GTHA’s elected officials - including more than 50% of MPPs across the three major political parties - have signed CivicAction’s “Get a Move On” pledge that calls for dedicated, efficient, and sustainable investment in our regional transportation priorities. They have been joined by thousands of GTHA residents. **See the full list below of politicians who have signed the CivicAction pledge. CivicAction and its partners are looking to all of Ontario’s party leaders to be clear on how they will invest in the next wave of transportation improvements for the region – both in the spring budget and in their party platforms. Quotes: “We cannot pass the buck for our aging infrastructure to the next generation,” says Sevaun Palvetzian, CEO of CivicAction.
