    City of Toronto EP9.2 _______________________________ _______________________________ Mark Grimes Toronto City Hall Toronto City Councillor 100 Queen Street West, Suite C48 Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore Toronto, Ontario M5H 2N2 Date: January 28, 2020 To: Members of the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place From: Councillor Mark Grimes Subject: Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Association Appointment for 2020 __ SUMMARY: In January of each year, a Notice of Appointment of Representative is received from the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair (RAWF) requesting the appointment of one representative of the Board of Governors to the RAWF. As a member association of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, The Board is allowed to name one representative to the Royal’s Board of Governors for the 2020 year. At its meeting of February 19, 2019, the Board appointed Howard Lichtman to the RAWF for the 2019 Term. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2019.EP1.3 At its meeting of March 22, 2018, the Board appointed Connie Dejak to the RAWF for the 2018 Term. http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2018.EP10.14 Given that Howard Lichtman has been a member of the Board since 2017 and has indicated an interest in continuing in this role, I believe it is appropriate that Howard Lichtman continue to represent Exhibition Place for the 2020 term. As a representative, the member can raise issues pertinent to the interests of Exhibition Place as they relate to the business of the RAWF; the Board representative will be updated on financial matters of the Association, the strategic directions of the fair and will have an opportunity to participate in the election of Directors.

  • Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail, Ward 3 ______
    Mark Grimes Toronto City Hall Toronto City Councillor 100 Queen Street West Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore Suite C48 Toronto Ontario M5H 2N ______________________________________________________________________________ Date: March 2, 2021 To: Members of Etobicoke York Community Council From: Councillor Mark Grimes Subject: Mimico Land Assembly for Waterfront Trail, Ward 3 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY The Mimico Waterfront Park, situated between Humber Bay Park West and Norris Crescent Parkette, is a 1.1km multi-use waterfront trail created by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) with funds provided by Waterfront Toronto. It was developed in two phases, the first completed in 2008 and the second in 2012. It provides safe access to the waterfront, improves the ecological functioning of this section of the Lake Ontario shoreline and offers environmental, economic and social benefits to the Mimico community and broader region. Currently the Waterfront Trail along Lake Ontario ends at Norris Crescent, travels north to Lake Shore Boulevard West, and then continues as a cycle track west along Lake Shore Boulevard West to First Street. There are several privately-owned parcels of land along Lake Ontario that preclude the trail from continuing westward. Many of these lands are vacant, for sale, or are being assembled for development. This presents an opportunity to acquire the lands abutting Lake Ontario for the purpose of connecting and continuing the Mimico Waterfront Park westward. This motion seeks a report from City staff, working jointly with the federal and provincial levels of government, TRCA, Waterfront Toronto and other waterfront organizations, with a plan to extend Mimico Waterfront Park between Royal York Rd and First Street, through the sale, acquisition, and development of privately owned lands, including identify potential sources of funding.

June 15, 2021 revised proposal that would: • Reduce Towers A and B each by two floors • Increase the number of units from 587 to 681 resulting in a 16% increase in density • Resulting increase in density will increase traffic • Removal of the minimum unit size • Complete elimination of the public park Councillor Stephen Holyday gave the Richmond Gardens Ratepayers and Residents Association (RGRRA) the responsibility of hosting and notifying the community regarding the June 15th Richview Re-development meeting. This virtual meeting was capped at 100 with many people not gaining access and after calls to reschedule the meeting so that everyone could attend, Councillor Holyday stated regardless of the issue of the capped meeting – it would proceed. Many of the attendees who did gain access opposed the revised proposal and requested that the meeting should be rescheduled given neighbours were unable to access the community consultation. As a result, some were removed from the meeting by the host. It is unknown how many residents in total were not able to access the meeting and how many were removed. Many residents in the Fernbrook and National Homes townhomes said they did not receive notice of the meeting.

  • Daughter of Toronto City Councilor Destroys Lacrosse in Etobicoke
    Daughter of Toronto City Councilor Destroys Lacrosse in Etobicoke 05/26/2016, 4:15pm EDT By Kevin J. Johnston I Was In Tears Writing This One Lacrosse, what a game! It is the Canadian national sport and it is the best choice for kids who need to burn off their extra energy. Box Lacrosse is played in a hockey rink, most being 200 feet long by 85 feet wide, and you have to run. This sport is the perfect blend of speed, skill, tricks, hits and goals, and it is dying Ontario wide. There has been a great deal of difficulty that many lacrosse associations have had to endure and it has resulted in some associations being on the verge of folding outright. Two associations having difficulty are Mississauga and Mimico. The Mimico Lacrosse Association was founded in 1890, and the Mississauga Tomahawks have more than 7 decades of history. There was a conversation that took place between the associations in April of this year, where both conveners discussed that numbers were low enough to make merging age groups necessary. Mississauga had to merge Bantams and Midgets, mixing ages 13 to 17 together and Mimico had to merge Pee Wee, Bantam and Midgets mixing ages 11 to 17 together. Rules in both associations had to be modified so that large 17 year old's could not hit, body check or cross check 11 year old's.Both associations are very fortunate in that their players are extremely respectful of each other and the games flow well. However, boys will be boys and nature cannot be fought.

  • James Maloney
    James Maloney Member of Parliament for Etobicoke-Lakeshore Député d’Etobicoke– Lakeshore June 23, 2016 Metrolinx Mr. R. Pritchard, Chair of the Board 97 Front Street West Toronto, ON M5J 1E6 Dear Chair Pritchard and Board Members: I understand that The Board of Directors of Metrolinx will be meeting on June 28, 2016, to discuss the recent report dealing with the proposed new transit stops in and around the City of Toronto. The purpose of this letter is to ask that the Board reconsider the decision to exclude a new stop at the intersection of Park Lawn and Lakeshore. The Humber Bay Shores Community is one of the largest and most rapidly growing communities in our City. Forty years ago this community did not exist. Within ten years, the population will exceed 30,000 people. This does not include the surrounding area. During that time, the transit options have not increased to sufficiently meet the demands of population growth in this area. As the road access in the area is not physically capable of being expanded, the transportation situation in the neighbourhood is verging on crisis. The local Councillor for Ward 6, Mark Grimes, has been lobbying to implement new transit options for many years. This includes the request that a new Go Station be built near the intersection of Park Lawn Road and Lakeshore Blvd. The initiative is supported by the local Member of Provincial Parliament, Peter Milczyn, along with Ward 5 Councillor Justin Di Ciano. All levels of government are in agreement. I wish to emphasize, however, that the greatest source of support comes from the community itself.
