  • REVISED Aug 20 Planning Equitable Public Parks for Mental
    'Public' Mediations in Public Parks: Equity, Planning and the Regulation of Behaviours by Zoi de la Peña supervised by Jennifer Foster and Liette Gilbert A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto Ontario, Canada. August 20, 2018 Abstract This Major Research Paper examines how ideologies of nature are manipulated by local civic actors to regulate people’s behaviour in public parks and thereby plan specific demographics of people out of these spaces. Focusing on behaviours of cruising and loitering, I explore how legal, design, and urban planning tools are leveraged to control and criminalize these behaviours in two GTHA public parks: Marie Curtis Park in Toronto, and Gore Park in Hamilton. Methods of research include multiple site visits to each park, interviews with local stakeholders, as well as urban planning and mental health professionals, and a literature review. In researching the above, I address questions on how the identity of “public” is defined and constructed in public parks and argue that the current regulation of cruising and loitering in the above cases serve to constitute homophobic and classist notions of “the public”. This is a particularly pressing issue for urban planners as an increasing number of ailments within cities are linked to rising temperatures, poor air quality and psychological distress. Scholarly work has demonstrated a positive correlation between exposure to nature and the alleviation of the above conditions. As parks are a primary source of nature in urban areas, addressing how the regulation of behaviour in public parks can limit the access of certain demographics of people - particularly those that are already socially marginalized - to the health benefits provided by exposure to nature is an urgent social equity issue in today’s urban environment.

  • Supportive Housing for Mental Health Recovery: a Bio-Psycho-Social Approach
    Supportive Housing for Mental Health Recovery: A Bio-Psycho-Social Approach by Heather Christine Fitzpatrick A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Architecture in Architecture Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2007 © Heather Christine Fitzpatrick 2007 ii AUTHOR’S DECLARATION Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. Th is is a true copy of the thesis, including any required fi nal revisions, as accepted by examiners. I understand that my thesis may be electronically available to the public. iii iv ABSTRACT Abstract Th is thesis responds to the lack of psychiatric and infrastructural support during the transition from inpatient to outpatient care, and proposes a supportive housing model for patient recovery. It establishes an architecture to support a new model for mental health care using the bio-psycho-social perspective outlined in the psychological research section. Research into diff erent methods of treatment, perception, and current patient infrastructure reveal that the existing framework does not suit the needs of patients caught between the secure levels of care in forensic institutions and those recovered enough to sustain themselves. Th e psychiatric program is based on the bio-psycho-social perspective outlined in the psychology chapter of the thesis, which will be used to treat patients with schizophrenia, mood disorders and anxiety disorders. Th e architecture is designed to support this perspective, and is based on the research into perception and the architectural strategies needed in the design of a healing environment: community, security and privacy, patient control including spatial intelligibility, haptic and basic orientation, light, sound and positive distraction.

  • Request for an Area-Specific Amendment to the Sign By-Law for One Third Party Electronic Wall Sign at 147 Queen Street East
    PG28.3 REPORT FOR ACTION Request for an Area-Specific Amendment to the Sign By-law for One Third Party Electronic Wall Sign at 147 Queen Street East Date: March 12, 2018 To: Planning and Growth Management Committee From: Chief Building Official and Executive Director, Toronto Building (Interim) Wards: Ward 28 - Toronto Centre-Rosedale SUMMARY This staff report reviews and makes recommendations on an application by Outfront Media (the Applicant), on behalf of The Fred Victor Centre, to amend the Sign By-law to allow a third party electronic wall sign at 147 Queen Street East (the Proposed Sign). The Fred Victor Centre is a homeless support centre and shelter located in a Commercial Residential (CR) Sign District. Third party electronic walls signs are not permitted in CR Sign Districts. The Proposed Sign has a height of 15.32 metres and a sign face area of 41.63 square metres. These proposed attributes result in a sign greater than five times the permitted height and almost 14 times the permitted sign face area for other third party wall signs in CR Sign Districts. The Proposed Sign, located less than 100 metres from Moss Park and just 20 metres from the Moss Park Armoury, is incompatible with the surrounding area. It is also likely to have a significant impact on adjacent properties because of its size, height and copy type. The proposal also includes the removal of five existing third party signs located in Wards 30 and 35. These five signs are located several kilometres away from the subject property and have no relationship with the proposed sign.

  • Mayor Tory and Toronto City Councillors 100 Queen Street West Toronto, on M5H 2N2
    Mayor Tory and Toronto City Councillors 100 Queen Street West Toronto, ON M5H 2N2 RE: Please take emergency action on shelter beds. CD24.7 Shelter Infrastructure Plan and Progress Report, December 5-7, 2017 Dear Mayor Tory and members of Toronto City Council, I am writing about the current shelter crisis in Toronto. The demand for shelter services in the city has been rising steadily since 2012. 1 2 3 Demand for shelter beds has stretched the system’s capacity beyond its limits. 4 The city’s daily shelter census occupancy rates regularly exceed 90 per cent; the latest reported rate was 96 per cent, for November 13, 2017.5 Given our long history of advocacy on behalf of homeless people, the Registered Nurses’ Association Ontario (RNAO) is urging the city to take action to address this serious matter before the temperatures drop, and homeless people begin to die in our streets. Toronto has many homelessness people. Compared with other cities in Canada, Toronto has the second highest percentage of its citizens in core housing need – 19.9 per cent in 2014. 6 Homelessness is a virtual guarantee of misery and ill health. Homelessness is preventable and so are many of the related deaths. Toronto must take steps to save homeless people’s lives. This is why for the December 5-7 Meeting 35 of City Council, the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) urges you to support the recommendations of the Community Development and Recreation Committee in the 2018 Shelter Infrastructure Plan and Progress Report (item CD24.7). In particular, we ask you to: Declare an emergency for the shelter system Open 1,000 new shelter beds Open emergency shelters at the Fort York and Moss Park armouries The full text of the relevant recommendations7 reads as follows: 9.
