  • 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.

    THE CITY OF WINDSOR OFFICE OF THE MAYOR ------------------------------DREW DILKENSMA, YDBORA The Honourable Patty Hajdu Minister of Health Health Canada 70 Colombine Driveway Ottawa, Ontario, Canada KlA 0K9 [email protected] The Honourable Bill Blair Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Public Safety Canada 269 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, Ontario, Canada KlA 0P8 [email protected] September 18, 2020 RE: Temporary Foreign Worker Recovery Centre Minister Hajdu and Minister Blair, Our region is requesting urgent financial support to maintain an Isolation and Recovery Centre for guest agricultural workers affected by COVID-19. Windsor City Council has authorized Administration to support this initiative and will be the co-ordinator of any funds and agreements with the Canadian Red Cross and others as needed to support this initiative. Our local Medical Officer of Health has suggested that it is imperative to continue to provide isolation space for those who may require it in order to prevent another crisis. Earlier this summer COVID-19 caused numerous outbreaks in the agricu ltural sector in Essex County and challenged the capacity of employers to provide space to isolate. Despite utilizing over eight sites to try to contain outbreaks, in some cases the appropriate supports were not in place and unfortunately two workers passed away. While agriculture is an industry across the Country, our region is unique due to the volume of workers - an estimated 8,000 to 12,000 guest workers who stay for varying lengths of time - and the size of the farms. Over 60% of Ontario's greenhouses ca n be found in the Leamington/Kingsville area, and according to the Windsor Essex Development Corporation, these producers represent $1 billion in farm gate value.

When the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic became clear in March 2020, Canada, like many other nations, imposed strict “lockdown” measures on almost all sectors of society. Overnight, most Canadians became confined to their homes. Office buildings, malls, streets, public spaces and airports emptied. Only essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, were allowed to operate under strict “physical distancing” conditions. As our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) grew and lockdown measures persisted for several weeks and months, glaring inefficiencies in community design started to become unignorable. Our response to challenges that had previously been inadequately addressed - multimodal transportation, a high-quality public realm, age-friendly and accessible planning, for example - have now become essential precursors for the creation of a resilient post-pandemic world. Conversations on the future of cities have become commonplace in mainstream society, and some of the best and brightest minds in the planning profession have made valuable contributions to this discourse.
