  • Board Item 6
    Board Meeting – September 14, 2017 Item 6 - CEO Report Will Fleissig West Don Lands (WDL) WDL Development Urban Capital is targeting to start construction this fall for their fourth and final phase of the River City project. This building is being marketed as Harris Square to link it to Lauren Harris Square adjacent to the site. Dundee Kilmer received full support at the July 2017 Design Review Panel (DRP) meeting for Block 16 which is located on the north side of Front St. between Tannery Rd. and Rolling Mills Rd. They plan to start construction later this year. Also at the July DRP, Dundee Kilmer presented their next phase, Block 12, which is located on the south side of Front Street. They are targeting an October 2017 project sales launch. Surplus Land Circulation Infrastructure Ontario (IO) is nearing completion of the surplus lands circulation for the blocks that remain undeveloped in the WDL. They are in the process of working with the City to fulfill the Province’s remaining affordable housing obligations in the precinct. More information on their plans for disposing the remaining lands and the provision of affordable rental housing will be announced by IO on Wednesday, September 13, 2017. Concurrently, Waterfront Toronto is examining the feasibility of implementing a pilot project for a mixed-income, purpose-built rental building which would include market rental units along with Affordable Rental and mid-range Moderate Rental units. Waterfront Toronto believes that there is an opportunity to locate such a pilot in the Quayside neighbourhood. The pilot would aim to address the challenges facing the City with respect to housing affordability and could potentially be replicated as a model for the rest of the City.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 21, 2019 Quotation of the day “A spectacular world-class, year-round destination.” Tourism, Culture and Sport Minister Michael Tibollo lays out the Tories’ vision for ​ ​ Ontario Place and calls for expressions of interest from developers. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is recessed until February 19. Premier watch This weekend Premier Doug Ford and former football champ Michael “Pinball” Clemons ​ ​ ​ (once rumoured to be running for the PCs) were at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate in Toronto to check ​ ​ out student engagement programs geared toward underserved youth. On Thursday, Ford hosted the U.S. Consul General in Toronto Greg Stanford at Queen’s Park. ​ ​ The pair talked trade, tariffs, jobs and the economy, Ford said on Twitter. ​ ​ Committees this week The Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs continues its pre-budget consultation tour this week with stops in Dryden on Monday, Timmins on Tuesday, Ottawa on Wednesday, Sarnia on Thursday and Kitchener-Waterloo on Friday. Unions are organizing protests outside each of the meetings. On Thursday, the Select Committee on Financial Transparency convenes behind closed doors at Queen’s Park for another day of report writing. To recap: the committee’s examination of past Liberal government fiscal practices has zeroed in on the Fair Hydro Plan’s debt borrowing scheme and the accounting of assets from two jointly sponsored pension plans with unions. A final report with recommendations was expected in December but has been pushed back without a specific timeline. Oops! The January 18 issue of Queen’s Park Today erroneously stated students enrolled in a ​ ​ post-secondary professional program would not see a tuition fee cut under the PC’s recently announced changes.
