CARRIED _________________________________________ SECTION I - ITEMS FOR AUTHORITY ACTION RES.#A4/13 - HARBOURFRONT CENTRE PARTNERSHIP A partnership with Harbourfront Centre to deliver new pilot environmental education projects. Moved by: Paul Ainslie Seconded by: Gloria Lindsay Luby 2 WHEREAS Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and Harbourfront Centre have partnered, incorporating the talents and resources of both organizations, to deliver two unique educational initiatives for the creative delivery of public environmental education, inclusive of implementing a high profile public art project, and conducting a nature-based youth camp program and waterfront event for children; WHEREAS TRCA and Harbourfront Centre have been able to obtain private funding for a new public art project on the Toronto waterfront, and developed an agreed revenue-sharing model for the children youth camp initiative; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED THAT the new partnership between Harbourfront Centre and TRCA be endorsed and that staff be directed to complete the agreements to coordinate the implementation of the two key education projects, and to financially manage the resources for successful project completion as set out in the staff report. CARRIED BACKGROUND TRCA is embarking on an exciting, new working partnership with Harbourfront Centre. Located on a 10 acre site on Toronto’s waterfront, Harbourfront Centre is an innovative non-profit organization that provides renowned programming in the arts, culture, education and recreation all within a wide variety of venues. Our joint initiatives include, first, an outdoor public art and environmental education display located in the heart of the harbourfront; and the second is a unique nature-based joint overnight summer camp program and eco-day event oriented for children and youth in the City of Toronto. This report provides a brief synopsis of the current status of these two creative new projects, which blend the skills of both Harbourfront Centre and TRCA staff in project implementation, and capitalize on the reputation and client market share that both agencies bring to the assignment success. Both projects are described below. 1. Public Art Outdoor Exhibit The first joint project with Harbourfront Centre focuses on the design and installation of a bold new public art project at their waterfront location. Four years ago, Harbourfront Centre built the largest outdoor photographic exhibit in Canada, located along the harbour promenade. The first exhibit was on Canada's Boreal Forest, receiving financial assistance from both the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario. The second year highlighted the richness of the Greenbelt; and last year's exhibit entitled 'Uncharted Waters', investigated Toronto's harbour and the Port Authority activities. These exhibits were totally funded by the Ontario Greenbelt Foundation and the Toronto Port Authority, respectively. Many of the images for this exhibit included large scale photos that were taken with TRCA staff assistance, highlighting TRCA's work in locations around the harbour. The Harbourfront Centre design team advocate that environmental issues and ideas can educate and be brought forward to the public eye as engaging, provocative images, with underlying messages, as opposed to traditional forms of nature appreciation and education. The team of artists were thrilled with the participation of TRCA staff who took the photographers to places of special interest and key sites where conservation work was being carried out in locations that were not known to the general public. 3 The Proposal These past outdoor exhibits at Harbourfront Centre have been so well received by the public that Harbourfront Centre staff is planning a new 2-year exhibit featuring the rivers of Toronto and the region. The proposed first-year exhibition concept is entitled 'Nine Rivers City', and is targeted to open at the site of two new urban waterfront parks located adjacent to the Harbourfront Centre head office at 235 Queen's Quay West. Year two exhibition will be completely different with different artists and is still under discussion with TRCA. For both exhibits, TRCA will assist several artists in telling the story of the rivers and watersheds through site visits, operational shadowing and city/river explorations. The photography sessions, for year one, commenced in the late fall 2012 and will continue throughout this year. In June 2013, coinciding with the opening of Nine Rivers City, Harbourfront Centre will launch two new major public squares at the center of its waterfront site: Canada Square fronting on Lake Ontario and Ontario Square facing a revitalized Queens Quay Boulevard. More than 10 years in the making and replacing a surface parking lot which has now become a 300 space underground garage, the two squares were designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh and Associates with funding from the Government of Canada and Province of Ontario. Canada Square will feature an oval design of large scale metasequoia (Redwood) trees and be a contemplative space by Lake Ontario. Ontario Square encompasses 450 aspen trees and plantings based on the Boreal Forest and will be an active space for cultural programmes. Nine Rivers City will be installed in the central space between the two new squares. An excerpt from Harbourfront Centre's Exhibit description is provided below. Excerpt: Areas of Exhibition Focus Nine Rivers City: Toronto’s Uncommon Waterways will focus on the importance of the nine rivers which define the greater Toronto region. Through highlighting the visual stories of our unique rivers system, we hope to engage the public in many of the significant issues which underlie the protection and conservation of the fragile natural systems which we must rely on for the future. The exhibition will incorporate people and their personal stories to delve into many of the complex areas of the rivers system. We hope to project the natural beauty of the rivers, the complicated history of the natural environment, the reshaping and improving of the rivers landscape, the working and recreational aspects of the rivers area and how the rivers system is one of the fundamental structures feeding the current and future natural health of the Toronto region.

    Member Motion City Council Motion Without Notice MM9.11 ACTION Ward: 8 Ontario Municipal Board Hearing – Committee of Adjustment Application – 3965 Keele Street - by Councillor Anthony Perruzza, seconded by Councillor Frank Di Giorgio * This Motion has been deemed urgent by the Chair. * This Motion is not subject to a vote to waive referral. * This Motion has been added to the agenda and is before Council for debate. Recommendations Councillor Anthony Perruzza, seconded by Councillor Frank Di Giorgio recommends that: 1. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, appropriate Planning staff and any other City representation as required to attend the Ontario Municipal Board hearing to uphold the Committee of Adjustment’s decision. Summary The Toronto Transit Commission submitted a Minor Variance application to the North York Panel of the Committee of Adjustment to permit the development of a bus terminal associated with the Finch West Subway Station on Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension. Variances were requested to former City of North York Zoning By-law No. 7625 with respect to a reduced front yard setback and reduced front yard landscaping requirements. City Planning staff have been working with the TTC on the design of this facility for two years and had no objections to the requested variances. The Committee of Adjustment for the City of Toronto (North York Panel) approved the Minor Variance application at its April 28, 2011 meeting. Metro Toronto Condominium Corporation 863, the Condominium Corporation for 1280 Finch Avenue West (east of the proposed bus terminal), has appealed the decision of the Committee of Adjustment to the Ontario Municipal Board.

  • 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.

  • Library Board
    October 9, 2007 Dear Friend of the Toronto Public Library: As you know, the Toronto Public Library Board recently held a series of public meetings to inform the public about our budget situation and to give people an opportunity to ask questions and share their thoughts and opinions. We told people about the difficult decisions the Board faces regarding potential service reductions in 2008 affecting open hours, services and collections. We listened to thoughtful questions and feedback that the Library Board will take into careful consideration as we plan for our 2008 budget. As you heard if you were able to join us for a meeting, there are only two areas that the Library Board can cut from to get the significant reductions that may be required: branch open hours and library materials (that is, the books, CDs, reference materials, etc. that make up our collections). Cuts in both of these areas would negatively impact services and, as we heard, would ultimately hurt the people we serve. Here is just a little of what we’ve heard from those who attended the meetings and/or have filled out our survey and comment forms: • “Education is power. The Toronto Public Library is rich with information from which we all learn. Without it, crime, poverty, and unemployment will rise.” • “Toronto Public Library is one of the very few places in the City where teens are invited to do creative and useful things, free of charge!” • “I am always impressed by the diversity I see in the larger branch I drop into from time to time.

  • 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.

For decades, the annual Labour Day parade features thousands of union members from all walks of life taking to the streets and marching to the Canadian National Exhibition.
