Municipal Election Day Is Monday, October 25, 2010 ◄ the Municipal Election Is Just Weeks Away from Its Culmination and It Has Been Unlike Any Other in Recent Memory ►Municipal Election Day is Monday, October 25, 2010 ◄ The Municipal Election is just weeks away from its culmination and it has been unlike any other in recent memory. With David Miller leaving the Mayor’s position, the race was wide open. There have been a preponderance of right-wing candidates proposing tax cuts, elimination of public service jobs, contracting out and privatization in the guise of “cost efficiencies”, and numerous other wild schemes that do not bear up under scrutiny. Calm.ca Yet, the public seems to have ridden a wave of general disgruntlement, and shown support (to date) for many of these negative, harmful campaigns. ETT, as part of the larger collective, the Toronto & York Region Labour Council, has chosen to endorse Joe Pantalone for Mayor . Deputy Mayor Joe Pantalone is a veteran of municipal politics and has played a key role in promoting and shaping the Toronto of today, with so many of its progressive measures. Joe Pantalone continues to promote a positive vision for this city. Joe has earned our support! ETT members should familiarize themselves with the endorsed candidates for councilor and trustee, as well. Make sure to vote on Election Day, or at an Advance Poll. Make sure that your friends and family know who the endorsed candidates are, and encourage them to vote. Help get these endorsed candidates elected by assisting in their campaigns. Volunteer some of your time for canvassing, phoning, packaging or sorting or mailing flyers, or ask for and put up a lawn sign (available after October 3rd). The ETT website ( www.ett.ca ) has plenty of information about the Municipal election, and about various campaigns underway www.ett.ca trying to promote support for progressive issues in this election, e.g., OneToronto, Public Services For All. The election is for a four-year term. Calm.ca Vote for a trustee who will support our schools!

Both film festivals take place in November. The RPFF (Nov 3-6) is a free multicultural film festival, promoting accessibility to those who love film, but especially reflecting commu- nity issues. CLIFF ( 2 consecutive weekends November 20/21 & November 27/28) reflects films from, and about, the world of Labour. Watch for more information in the weeks ahead through the ETT Weekly.

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.

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.

  • Toronto City Council Enviro Report Card 2010-2014
    TORONTO CITY COUNCIL ENVIRO REPORT CARD 2010-2014 TORONTO ENVIRONMENTAL ALLIANCE • JUNE 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY hortly after the 2010 municipal election, TEA released a report noting that a majority of elected SCouncillors had committed to building a greener city. We were right but not in the way we expected to be. Councillors showed their commitment by protecting important green programs and services from being cut and had to put building a greener city on hold. We had hoped the 2010-14 term of City Council would lead to significant advancement of 6 priority green actions TEA had outlined as crucial to building a greener city. Sadly, we’ve seen little - if any - advancement in these actions. This is because much of the last 4 years has been spent by a slim majority of Councillors defending existing environmental policies and services from being cut or eliminated by the Mayor and his supporters; programs such as Community Environment Days, TTC service and tree canopy maintenance. Only in rare instances was Council proactive. For example, taking the next steps to grow the Greenbelt into Toronto; calling for an environmental assessment of Line 9. This report card does not evaluate individual Council members on their collective inaction in meeting the 2010 priorities because it is almost impossible to objectively grade individual Council members on this. Rather, it evaluates Council members on how they voted on key environmental issues. The results are interesting: • Average Grade: C+ • The Mayor failed and had the worst score. • 17 Councillors got A+ • 16 Councillors got F • 9 Councillors got between A and D In the end, the 2010-14 Council term can be best described as a battle between those who wanted to preserve green programs and those who wanted to dismantle them.

    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.

MEL LASTMAN, MAYOR, AND COUNCILLORS OF THE CITY OF TORONTO lt is with great pleasure and with pride that I present this 1 997 Annual Report on behalf of the Commissioners and employees of the Toronto Transit Commission ("TTC"). This report describes a year full of important achievements, not the least of which is an increase in ridership, for the first time in six years. At the same time, I recognize that this Commission, the last under the banner of The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto ("Metro"), can take pride in handing over a service-oriented, productive and fiscally trim TTC to the new Commission, convened under the new City of Toronto. let me list a few of the TTC's 1997 accomplishments: • ridership was 379.9 million, 9.8 million over budget and 7.5 million over 1996; • more than 80 per cent of TTC's operating budget was funded from the farebox, a significant increase from the 65.7 per cent recorded just four years earlier; • TTC Transit Security Investigators were granted Special Constable status, permitting them to arrest, search and release persons suspected of criminal acts on TTC property; • access became easier, as elevators were added to Queen and St.George stations; and • 162 six- and twelve-year-old buses were rebuilt in the TTC's own facilities; the rebuilding of 18-year-old buses began, with 13 compieted.
