    Town Hall Summary

    Town Hall Summary OVERVIEW The City of Toronto hosted four public town halls on February 23rd and 24th and March 2nd and 3rd, 2016 as part of its Parks and Recreation Facilities Master Plan. These town halls were held across the city, with one each in Toronto-East York, Scarborough, Etobicoke-York and North York (see Attachment 1 for event details). The purpose of these town halls was to share and seek feedback on what is working well, and to identify needs, gaps, challenges and opportunities with regard to the provision of parks and recreation facilities in Toronto. At each town hall, participants were provided with an overview of the Master Plan process and challenges that the Master Plan will seek to respond to. Following this presentation, participants engaged in facilitated discussions guided by a series of focus questions (see Attachment 2 – Agenda). All four town halls were live webcast, providing residents with the option to view and listen to the presentation and participate in the discussion either in-person or online. In total, approximately 140 people participated in in the town halls, with over 40 community, sports and interest groups represented (see Attachment 3 - Participant Lists). Participant feedback has been summarized in two main sections within this report: I. High-level summary that synthesizes feedback received from all four town halls. II. Detailed summary, with feedback separated out for each of the four town halls as follows: Toronto- East York (Page 3); Scarborough (Page 5); Etobicoke-York (Page 7); North York (Page 8). This summary was written by Swerhun Facilitation, a third-party facilitation firm that is part of the consultant team led by Monteith Brown Planning Consultants that has been retained by the City to assist with the development of the Master Plan.

It is important to understand that although their underlying concepts entail high levels of urban livability, many barriers exist that make it difficult to develop mixed-use development. This paper uses the case study of the Sheppard subway corridor in Toronto, Ontario to understand why large scale mixed-use developments have not yet emerged in an area that seems appropriate for this development type.
