  • 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.

  • Readers Respond to Pickering Mayor's Position
    Readers’ responses in the News Advertiser to the article “Recouping Canada’s $150-million investment,” by Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan, August 23, 2017 Pickering mayor seems to be unaware of the number of jobs in agriculture Opinion Aug 25, 2017, Pickering News Advertiser Mayor Dave Ryan’s column, where he attempts to promote a business-as-usual case for an airport on the Pickering Lands instead of the very best use of the lands for agriculture, simply doesn’t reflect the reality of our changing world. Contrary to the number of jobs he claims agriculture would provide, he’s obviously unaware that more than 640,000 people in the province are employed in agri-food industries, and in 2013, agri-food systems provided one in eight jobs in Canada, employing more than 2.2 million people. Forecasts from the Greater Toronto Airport Authority about capacity at Pearson have proven consistently wrong in the past and if the GTAA had auspices over Hamilton-Cambridge where existing infrastructure would easily support an airport, it would never be making a case for an airport in Pickering. These lands represent 95 per cent of Canada’s remaining five per cent triple-A farmland — the very best there is — and this precious and irreplaceable infrastructure comes already included. Maybe Mayor Ryan should concentrate on producing the 25,000 jobs that we were promised Seaton would supply for Pickering, instead of reducing the overwhelming future opportunities that the agri-food industry could supply. Angie Jones. Pickering Online Comment re this letter: By Mark, Aug 26 2017 9:15AM The Mayors comments are spot on.
