Beaches—East York Riding
Beaches-East York Action on Poverty Profile Story Behind the Stats Beaches-East York rests along the southern perimeter of Toronto. It is bordered by Coxwell Avenue, the Don River East Branch/Sunrise Avenue, and Victoria Park Avenue. It contains Wards 31, 32, and a small section of 34. The presence of concentrated wealth within this area tends to minimize the existence of poverty. The reality is that there are many pockets of poverty in this area, including Crescent Town, one of Toronto’s priority neighbourhoods. Many residents have household incomes well below the Toronto average and face a lack of affordable housing and accessible services. Many from the sizeable newcomer community also face unemployment and underemployment. Key Figures % 104,830 people live in Beaches-East York Population living 21.7 in poverty 24.5 22,546 live in poverty – 21.7%* Children (under 25.9 18) living in 31.8 poverty “There is a big gap between Housing in need 10.3 economic classes here, of major repairs 7.8 creating a situation of hidden 3.5 Crowded housing poverty.” 4.7 Tenant 42.5 households 45.6 Susan Fletcher Executive Director Applegrove Community Complex Beaches-East York City of Toronto The Action on Poverty profile series was created by Social Planning Toronto and the Alliance for a Poverty-Free 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. -

Open Letter to Mayor John Tory and Toronto City Council
OPEN LETTER TO MAYOR JOHN TORY AND TORONTO CITY COUNCIL Re: Call for due diligence and public hearing on proposed subway upload February 21, 2019 We urge you to defend our local subway system and the Toronto Transit Commission. The Premier’s plan to “upload” a multi-billion-dollar asset, heavily paid for by Toronto taxpayers and commuters for decades, will weaken the City in several critical ways: ● Loss of efficiency: Detaching the most profitable part of an integrated system will result in operational disconnects and service chaos, working against system integration. Local feeder lines will face funding predicaments. ● Loss of planning power: Toronto will no longer be able to set priorities for new capital projects, and will lose the ability to leverage TTC-owned land, station and real estate assets. ● Loss of future investment: In relinquishing these transit and land assets, the City will lose the potential to generate revenue (for example through long-term land leases and/or joint development projects) that could be used to invest in city priorities such as more affordable housing, transit, mobility services, parks, etc. The consequences of this decision will be felt by Torontonians for decades to come, and will have an impact on the political legacies of the present Mayor and City Council members. The Province has not shared its plans; certainly, no evidence has been offered to explain how the upload will improve transit. So consider the precedents. In New York City, the state-controlled Metropolitan Transit Authority, created in 1965, has done nothing to improve investment, operations, or the quality of governance for the MTA. -
