Dear Community Members and Partners Dear community members and partners, The City of Toronto would like to invite you to join your neighbourhood to participate in a conference to help us design a city-wide program plan to strengthen neighbourhoods across Toronto. In April 2014, through the Toronto Strong Neighbourhoods Strategy 2020 (TSNS 2020), the City identified 31 Neighbourhoods in need of additional supports. The goal of the TSNS 2020 is to ensure that all neighbourhoods across Toronto have equal opportunities by engaging community residents, putting in place appropriate resources and making sure that policies at multiple levels make sense for neighbourhoods. To learn about the work done so far under TSNS 2020, please visit: http://www.toronto.ca/tsns2020 We would like to invite 3 representatives from your neighbourhood to participate in the first ever TSNS 2020 conference on Saturday, April 25, 10 - 4 pm at City Hall. This event will bring together representatives from the City's 31 Neighbourhood Improvement Areas (NIAs), funders and City staff to co-design the program of activities that will be a part of TSNS in the following years. The conference is being designed as a high-engagement event, with close to 180 participants expected to attend. Taking place at City Hall in the Rotunda, Council Chambers and Council Members' Lounge, the conference will include: Mapping and discussion of NIA priorities, City and funder resources in a visual format, facilitated by community animators; Networking lunch in the Council Members' Lounge; Small groups of residents, funders and City staff working together to identify what we can collectively do to strengthen all 31 Neighbourhood Improvement Areas; and A closing plenary where participants can share their reflections and learnings. A second, half day conference is currently being organized for late May, where participants will build on the results of the first conference to finalize the TSNS Program Plan. Who will be there? We are inviting a diverse set of voices that have a good understanding of their local priorities, plans and assets, and that also have an interest in discussing the issues and solutions that cross all neighbourhoods. Due to space we will need to limit the participation to 3 representatives per neighbourhood. Each representative will have the opportunity to share neighbourhood priorities in the 5 domain areas and will be asked to be part of a focused dialogue on 2 of the domain areas. We will also be inviting City staff from various divisions and our funding partners that have an important role to play in TSNS 2020. When and where is this conference? April 25, 2015 at City Hall- 100 Queen Street West Toronto, ON From 10:00am – 4:00pm (registration at 9:30) If I/my group can't make it to the conference, will we totally miss out on an opportunity to shape the TSNS 2020 program? No. This conference is part of an ongoing process and dialogue that will be revisited and refined locally over time. There is continual engagement at the neighbourhood level that you can participate in by connecting with your local Community Development Officer.

The purpose of this research is to identify the conditions, constraints and opportunities of the Rexdale Employment Area and develop the groundwork for a Secondary Plan. The first phase of this research project involves conducting a literature review of suburban industry and collecting historical information on Rexdale's employment lands.

  • Child & Family Inequities Score
    CHILD & FAMILY INEQUITIES SCORE Technical Report The Child & Family Inequities Score provides a neighbourhood-level measure of the socio-economic challenges that children and families experience. The Child & Family Inequities Score is a tool to help explain the variation in socio-economic status across the City of Toronto neighbourhoods. It will help service providers to understand the context of the neighbourhoods and communities that they serve. It will also help policy makers and researchers understand spatial inequities in child and family outcomes. While other composite measures of socio-economic status in the City exist, the Child & Family Inequities Score is unique because it uses indicators that are specific to families with children under the age of 12. The Child & Family Inequities Score is a summary measure derived from indicators which describe inequities experienced by the child and family population in each of Toronto’s 140 neighbourhoods. The Child & Family Inequities Score is comprised of 5 indicators: • Low Income Measure: Percent of families with an after-tax family income that falls below the Low Income Measure. • Parental Unemployment: Percent of families with at least one unemployed parent / caregiver. • Low Parental Education: Percent of families with at least one parent / caregiver that does not have a high school diploma. • No Knowledge of Official Language: Percent of families with no parents who have knowledge of either official language (English or French). 1 • Core Housing Need: Percent of families in core housing need . This report provides technical details on how the Child & Family Inequities Score was created and describes how the resulting score should be interpreted.

  • Every Tree Counts. a Portrait of Toronto's Urban Forest
    Every Tree Counts A Portrait of Toronto’s Urban Forest Parks, Forestry & Recreation Urban Forestry Parks, Forestry & Recreation Urban Forestry Every Tree Counts A Portrait of Toronto’s Urban Forest Foreword For decades, people flying into Toronto have observed that it is a very green city. Indeed, the sight of Toronto’s tree canopy from the air is impressive. More than 20 years ago, an urban forestry colleague noted that the trees in our parks should, and in many cases do, spill over into the streets like extensions of the City’s parks. Across Toronto and the entire Greater Toronto Area, the urban forest plays a significant role in converting subdivisions into neighbourhoods. Most people have an emotional connection to trees. In cities, they represent one of our remaining links to the natural world. Properly managed urban forests provide multiple services to city residents. Cleaner air and water, cooler temperatures, energy savings and higher property values are among the many benefits. With regular man- agement, these benefits increase every year as trees continue to grow. In 2007,Toronto City Council adopted a plan to significantly expand the City’s forest cover to between 30-40%. Parks, Forestry and Recreation responded with a Forestry Service Plan aimed at managing our existing growing stock, protecting the forest and planting more trees. Strategic management requires a detailed understanding of the state of the City’s forest resource. The need for better information was a main reason to undertake this study and report on the state of Toronto’s tree canopy. Emerging technologies like the i-Tree Eco model and remote sensing techniques used in this forestry study provide managers with new tools and better information to plan and execute the expansion, protection and maintenance of Toronto’s urban forest.
