Member Motion City Council MM30.17 Member Motion City Council Notice of Motion MM30.17 ACTION Ward:All Thoughtful Collaboration with Ontario Municipalities - by Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker * Notice of this Motion has been given. * This Motion is subject to referral to the Executive Committee. A two-thirds vote is required to waive referral. Recommendations Councillor Shelley Carroll, seconded by Councillor Glenn De Baeremaeker, recommends that: 1. City Council request the City Manager to report to the Executive Committee in June 2013 on the intergovernmental relationship benefits and the economic benefits of rejoining the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) as well as possible costs and time frames involved in rejoining the Association. Summary The City of Toronto withdrew its membership in the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) in 2004. At the time, we existed in what the Premier of Ontario publicly admitted was "A Legislative Straightjacket that Would Baffle Houdini". To further irritate matters, AMO was entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Province that left unclear the City of Toronto's ability to negotiate any improvements in our legislative and fiscal relationship with the Province. Recently, AMO and its Large Urban Mayors Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO) have demonstrated they are a beneficial venue for thoughtful collaboration between cities as well as a useful venue for each municipality to have one-on-one meetings with appropriate Provincial Ministers and Ministry staff. Those issues that were most difficult to negotiate have been addressed through the City of Toronto Act and the Provincial Municipal Fiscal Sustainability Review, and a new Regional Municipal conversation is starting not only in the GTA but throughout Ontario and through the Large Urban Mayors Caucus on such pressing issues as regional revenue tools and transit expansion. (Submitted to City Council on February 20 and 21, 2013 as MM30.17) Background Information (City Council) Member Motion MM30.17 .

  • 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.

    Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report November 18, 2019 Quotation of the day “Hard to find out through the media that he wasn’t invited on the cool kids’ plane. Little harsh.” Alberta NDP Opposition Leader Rachel Notley throws shade at Ontario Premier Doug ​ ​ ​ Ford, who was not on the chartered flight that carried premiers and their spouses from ​ Calgary, where they attended Stampede, to Saskatoon for the Council of the Federation meeting in July — leaving taxpayers on the hook for $16,764. Ford’s office says he took ​ ​ ​ ​ a commercial flight instead. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The only constituency week of the truncated fall session is up; the house convenes at 10:30 a.m. for question period. Second reading of Bill 136, the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, is on the order paper ​ ​ for afternoon debate. Last week Ontario’s top court overturned a lower court decision that ​ ​ prompted Bill 136 by ruling the now-ceded OSPCA-led enforcement system gave ​ ​ unconstitutional policing powers to the private charity. The government could also put forward Bill 116, Foundations for Promoting and Protecting ​ ​ Mental Health and Addictions Services Act. Committee this week The Standing Committee on General Government will take Bill 132, Better for People, Smarter ​ ​ for Business Act — the PC’s omnibus red-tape reduction legislation — on a tour around the province for public feedback, stopping in London on Thursday and Peterborough on Friday. The witness roster thus far includes representatives from environmental groups, the Retail Council of Canada, the Federation of Public Libraries, the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario, an anti-quarry citizen group and CUPE, among others.

  • March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2Nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, on M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto Y
    March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto’s Opportunity to Redevelop Downsview Your Worship, On behalf of the Ontario Society of Professional Engineers (OSPE), I am writing to request your support for the redevelopment of the Downsview lands: an incredible, multi-billion dollar opportunity for the city of Toronto to increase its supply of housing, attract investment and jobs and cement itself as a global centre for engineering innovation. As you are aware, Bombardier Aerospace announced their intention to relocate their operations at Downsview. For Toronto, this move presents a tremendous prospect for innovation and urban renewal that is unparalleled in modern history. Spanning an impressive 375-acres of prime development lands, Toronto’s opportunity at Downsview supersedes previous urban development success stories such as New York’s Hudson Yards and London’s Canary Wharf (24 and 97-acres respectively). Not only is its sheer size unprecedented—Downsview is also shovel-ready, presenting Toronto with a turn-key public project that complements existing infrastructure. Unlike most urban renewal projects around the globe, this development is able to monopolize on existing public infrastructure stock, thereby avoiding the time and resource costs typically associated with the construction of new service and transit linkages. The Downsview lands are situated at the epicentre of three world-class universities and benefits from exceptional connections to existing subway, rail, and highway transportation infrastructure. Developing Downsview can improve the flow and functionality of Toronto’s transit network. The development of the Downsview lands promises to improve ridership and the efficiency of the entire transit network by encouraging two-way passenger flows.

  • Prioritizing Review of the Peanut for Potential Inclusion As a Neighbourhood Improvement Area
    CITY COUNCILLOR ~TORONTO Toronto City Hall 100 Queen Street West, Suite A3 Shelley Carroll ~~fiJ Toronto, Ontario WARD 17 DON VALLEY NORTH MSH 2N2 May 25, 2021 Economic & Community Development Committee 10th floor, West Tower, City Hall 100 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 Dear Chair and Members, RE: Prioritizing Review of The Peanut for Potential Inclusion as a Neighbourhood Improvement Area Summary: As a result of COVID-19, the review to be undertaken by Social Development, Finance and Administration of our Neighbourhood Improvement Areas has been delayed and the work is now not scheduled to be completed before 2022. The Peanut is a densely populated community located in and around Don Mills, between Sheppard Ave E and Finch Ave E. For decades, it has been the first home to hundreds of thousands of newcomers and low-income Torontonians. According to the 2016 Census, The Peanut has similar socio-economic conditions to those of other North York NIAs such Thorncliffe Park, Flemingdon Park, and Black Creek. Community organizations have been working for years to support residents in The Peanut, delivering health care, legal, and food security services with little dedicated support from the City. These organizations have done fantastic work but as the pandemic goes on and we look to recovery, these organizations simply do not have the capacity to continue to meet the needs of the community without support. The Peanut was very nearly included in the review of Neighbourhood Improvement Areas, but did not meet the criteria due to the abundance of child care spaces created by former Councillor Elinor Caplan and myself as local representatives over the years.
