  • Back in the Tower Again
    MUNICIPAL UPDATE Back In The Tower Again Angela Drennan THE SWEARING IN Toronto City Council was sworn in on December 4, 2018 to a Council Chamber full of family, friends and staff. The new Council is comprised of 25 Members including the Mayor, making it 26 (remember this now means to have an item passed at Council a majority +1 is needed, i.e. 14 votes). Councillor stalwart Frances Nunziata (Ward 5 York South Weston) was re-elected as the Speaker, a position she has held since 2010 and Councillor Shelley Carroll (Ward 17 Don Valley North) was elected as Deputy Speaker. The ceremonial meeting moved through the motions of pomp and circumstance with measured fanfare and Councillors, old and new, looking eager to get down to “real” work the next day during the official first meeting of City Council. Mayor Tory, during his first official address, stressed the need for Council consensus, not dissimilar to the previous term and reiterated his campaign positions on the dedication to build more affordable housing, address gun violence through youth programming and build transit, specifically the downtown relief line. Tory did suggest that the City still needs to take a financially prudent approach to future initiatives, as financial streams such as the land transfer tax have lessened due to a slower real estate market environment, a signal that cuts, reallocations or revenue tools will likely need to be revisited for debate during the term (the uploading of the TTC will help with the City’s financial burden, but isn’t enough). THE MAYOR’S OFFICE There have been some notable staff changes in Mayor John Tory’s Office, here are a few: We say goodbye to Vic Gupta, Tory’s Principal Secretary, who will be greatly missed but we say hello to Vince Gasparro, Liberal, Tory’s Campaign Co-Chair and longtime friend of the firm, who has taken over that position.

This event was moved from May to July, to accommodate the level of interest that it first garnered. As you must have heard, there are about 50-80 Syrian families arrived in the Guelph area early April. There is nothing in the world like physical activity and a little friendly competition to bring together a group of people. As such, a group of fellow alumnae have teamed up with the University of Guelph to host a full-day, all-ages sports event welcoming our new neighbours to the wonderful community of Guelph. The day will be held on Saturday, July 16th from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m at Johnston Green, University of Guelph.

  • APPENDIX A: Notification Materials
    APPENDIX A: Notification Materials 165001203 NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Valley Inn Road Bridge, City of Hamilton Municipal Class Environmental Assessment THE STUDY The City of Hamilton and the City of Burlington need to make improvements to the Valley Inn Road Bridge. The Valley Inn Road Bridge carries a pedestrian trail over Carroll’s Bay Marsh and is located east of York Boulevard, between Hamilton and Burlington (see study area map). THE PROCESS The bridge improvements are being planned as a Schedule B Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) project under the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011, and 2015). The EA will confirm the problem and opportunities, develop and assess alternative planning solutions (do nothing, repair or replace the bridge), and document the natural, socio-economic and cultural environments within the area. A preferred alternative solution will be identified following the technical review and input received from the public, stakeholders, Indigenous communities, and agencies. Additional information about the project is available at hamilton.ca/ValleyInnEA. The website will be updated throughout the study as information becomes available. This study will complete Phases 1 and 2 of the EA process as documented in the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Municipal Class EA document (October 2000, as amended in 2007, 2011 and 2015). Upon completion of the study a Project File Report (PFR) will be prepared and made available for a 30-day public review and comment period, with an opportunity for a Part II Order (appeal). Another advertisement will be published at that time, indicating where the report can be viewed.

  • Communities and Leaders at Work in the New Economy: a Comparative Analysis of Agents of Transformation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Hamilton, Ontario
    COMMUNITIES AND LEADERS AT WORK IN THE NEW ECONOMY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AGENTS OF TRANSFORMATION IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA AND HAMILTON, ONTARIO by Barbara Ann Fennessy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Barbara Ann Fennessy 2009 COMMUNITIES AND LEADERS AT WORK IN THE NEW ECONOMY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF AGENTS OF TRANSFORMATION IN PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA AND HAMILTON, ONTARIO Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Barbara Ann Fennessy Department of Sociology and Equity Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract Without change, stagnation is inevitable. Never has this truth been more obvious than during the current epoch of industrial decline in North America. This research provides two economic narratives that exemplify the struggles of industrial communities as they strive to regenerate. The research involves a comparative analysis of the transformation of two steel cities, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Hamilton, Ontario, from 1970 to 2008. For cities in which one major industry has formed the foundation of the local economy, job losses can result in massive dislocation and devastating consequences for individuals, families, and communities. Pittsburgh and Hamilton are among many cities striving to diversify and strengthen their economies as manufacturing diminishes and Western sunset industries rise in the East. Transformation has been much more extensive in Pittsburgh than in many cities because Pittsburgh was so largely dominated by the steel industry and faced a virtual collapse of that industry. Hamilton has also experienced a steep decline in steel and related manufacturing jobs.
