    EGLINTON CROSSTOWN Community Benefits and Liaison Plan Summary & Progress To-Date 6 201 DECEMBER Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. Transit Crosslinx Photo: Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. I. INTRODUCTION Metrolinx and Infrastructure Ontario selected Crosslinx Transit Solutions to design, build, finance and maintain the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (ECLRT) project, the first major transit expansion in 50 years. The provincial government’s $5.3 billion Crosstown investment is the single largest GTA transit investment ever. When it’s up and running, the Crosstown will deliver service that is reliable, comfortable and 60 percent faster than what is now available. What’s more, building the line is creating thousands of jobs, 2,500 at peak construction, and other significant economic benefits. The Crosstown is also unique because it is Ontario’s first large- scale public infrastructure project to contractually require the developer, CTS, to ensure that local communities and historically disadvantaged and equity seeking groups directly benefit from the province’s investment. Historically disadvantaged and equity seeking groups (H&E) refer to groups that have been historically excluded or marginalized from the processes and decisions that affect them. To meet this requirement, CTS is providing a range of employment, training and apprenticeship opportunities to these groups, as well as purchasing goods and services from local suppliers and social enterprises, whenever possible. 1 Photo: Crosslinx Transit Solutions, 2016. II. PROJECT AGREEMENT REQUIREMENTS Eglinton Crosstown Project Agreement Requirements The objective of the Community Benefits and Liaison Plan Community Benefits is to maximize training, employment and procurement The Project Agreement mandates a plan that includes: opportunities for Eglinton-area residents and businesses.

One need only amble through the gates on Fisgard Street in Victoria or in Gastown in Vancouver to encounter vibrant Chinatowns, or through small roadways just off Dundas Street in Toronto to happen upon enclaves of Portuguese from the Azores; if you wander through the Côte- des-Neiges district in Montreal you will discover a polyethnic world - Kazakhis, Russian Jews, Vietnamese, Sri Lankans or Haitians among many other groups - while parts ot Dartmouth are home to an old African-Canadian community.

August 17, 2006 City of Toronto Heritage Preservation Services 100 Queen Street West, 2nd Floor Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 Dear Brian Gallaugher: This study was undertaken for the Toronto Island Community Association with funding assistance provided by the City of Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Division. It builds on the ideas and policy initiatives of the Island Principles drafted in 2002 by a group of the Toronto Island residents and City staff. The tangible and intangible attributes of Toronto Island constitute a significant landscape of historical and cultural value. This study recommends that a framework of a cultural heritage landscape be established as the most appropriate method for recognizing and maintaining this cultural resource for the City of Toronto. Under the Planning Act, the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement defines a cultural landscape as: a defined geographical area of heritage significance which has been modified by human activities and is valued by a community. It involves a grouping(s) of individual heritage features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites and natural elements, which together form a significant type of heritage form, distinctive from that of its constituent elements or parts .. Currently, the only mechanism the City of Toronto has For the protection of this type of resource is through the application of a Heritage Conservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act.
