The study area (Figure 1) extends from east of Cherry Street northeast to Midland Avenue, in the City of Toronto. A total of 178.8 hectares were assessed. The purpose of this project is to improve GO Transit’s service in the Lakeshore East Corridor in order to improve mobility through the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). This Stage 1 AA documents the geographic, archaeological and land use history of the Lakeshore East Rail Corridor Expansion - Don River to Scarborough GO Station (Segment 1) Project study area in order to assess its potential to contain archaeological resources. An optional property inspection was not conducted due to the presence of snow cover preventing the sufficient visibility of land features, as per Section 1.2, Standard 2 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (2011: 15-16). Instead, documentary sources, historic maps, detailed mapping and satellite imagery were analyzed in order to evaluate the archaeological potential found within the study area. The results of the Stage 1 AA indicate that, while the majority of the lands within the study area appear to have been disturbed by past development, there are portions which still retain archaeological potential. This is based on the presence of historic homesteads, the proximity of historic roads and railway, other archaeological sites and certain physiographic features in proximity the study area. For lands within the study area that contain archaeological potential and will be impacted by the proposed Lakeshore East Rail Corridor Expansion - Don River to Scarborough GO Station (Segment 1) Project, AECOM makes the following recommendations: 1) A Stage 2 AA should be conducted by a licensed consultant archaeologist using the test pit survey method at 5 m intervals in areas of archaeological potential marked in green in Section 6: Figures 8-14. 2) Due to the potential for deeply buried intact archaeological resources on floodplains and beneath land alterations, Stage 2 AA will be required, following Section 2.1.7, Standard 2 of the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists in areas marked in purple in Section 6: Figures 8-14 (MTCS 2011). Should test pitting by hand not reach subsoil (i.e. the area is found to have potential but it may be deeply buried), the survey methodology outlined in Section 2.1.7, Standard 3 or Guideline 2 for survey in deeply buried conditions must be adhered to. 3) Areas that are marked in red hatched lines in Section 6: Figures 8-14 are disturbed. These areas require no further archaeological assessment. 4) The Stage 2 AA will follow the requirements set out in the 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTCS 2011).

  • Term Care for Seniors at 640 Lansdowne Avenue
    EX3.6 REPORT FOR ACTION Creating New Affordable Rental Homes and Long- Term Care For Seniors at 640 Lansdowne Avenue Date: March 12, 2019 To: Executive Committee From: Deputy City Manager, Community and Social Services & Deputy City Manager, Corporate Services Wards: Ward 9 - Davenport SUMMARY The number of people in Toronto aged 65 and over is expected to almost double by 2041. This growing population of seniors will spur a demand for more affordable housing as well as long-term care homes to be developed specifically to address the evolving needs of seniors in our city. In recognition of the growing urgency to provide both affordable rental and long-term care homes for seniors, at its meeting on May 22, 23 and 24, 2018, City Council requested the Director, Affordable Housing Office, in consultation with CreateTO, to include the opportunity for development of long-term care beds within the affordable housing development planned for a portion of the Toronto Transit Commission property at 640 Lansdowne Avenue. On August 2, 2018, CreateTO, on behalf of the Affordable Housing Office, issued a Request for Proposals ("RFP") for Developing and Operating Affordable Housing Services at 640 Lansdowne Avenue. The RFP offered the one-third, Mixed Use designated portion of the site under a lease arrangement for 99 years at nominal rent to stimulate development of the site and ensure long-term affordability for seniors. The RFP closed on September 6, 2018 and four submissions were received. Since September 2018, CreateTO and City staff have been in discussions with Magellan Community Charities, the proposed proponent, and this report recommends that the City enter into a Letter of Intent ("LOI"), outlining the terms and conditions of the lease and the City's Open Door incentives being provided for the up to 65 affordable rental homes being proposed.

BENNETT, M.A., Ph.D. CONTROLLER MARGARET CAMPBELL, Q.C. CARL W. CASKEY WALTER G. CASSELS, Q.C. C. DOUGLAS CUTHBERT HER WORSHIP, THE MAYOR OF EAST YORK, MISS TRUE DAVIDSON MRS. G. 0. MORGAN HARVEY L. MOTT Director: JOHN T. PARKHILL, M.A., B.L.S. Secretary- Treasurer: ANTHONY H. WINFIELD, CG.A. The Metropolitan Toronto Library Board was set up as a regional library board under the Public Libraries Act, 1966 and the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto Amendment Act, 1966. It is composed of one person appointed by each of the six area Members of the Board who resigned during the three-year period: municipalities; the chairman of the Metropolitan Council, or his representative; one person appointed KEELE S. GREGORY (1967) by the Metropolitan Toronto School Board; and one person appointed by the Metropolitan Separate CHARLES L. CACCIA, M.P. (1968) School Board. Members of the Board are appointed for a three-year term. R. C. STONE (1969) REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN A writer about books has stated that "those works are most valuable that set our thinking faculties in the fullest operation." Many such works are contained in the historic Central Collections which had been brought together over the years by the Toronto Public Library. Never before have so many people sought out the rich resources of these collections and it is a matter of some significance that this growing interest has increased during the first full year of their operation by the Metro Board.

  • COVID-19 Emergency Response
    STAFF REPORT 14. INFORMATION ONLY COVID-19 Emergency Response Date: April 27, 2020 To: Toronto Public Library Board From: City Librarian SUMMARY The purpose of this report to update the Toronto Public Library Board on Toronto Public Library’s (TPL’s) operations, services and responses to the COVID-19 public health emergency, and its integration with City of Toronto’s Incident Management System. TPL’s pandemic plan has been developed in accordance with the best practices of emergency management and business continuity, and in alignment with the City of Toronto planning, including the Toronto Public Health Plan for a Pandemic, and the City of Toronto Pandemic Integrated Corporate Response Plan. TPL’ s Pandemic Response Plan and the emergency response structure are provided in Attachments 1, 2 and 3. FINANCIAL IMPACT The emergency shut down of branches at the end of day on March 13 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will significantly impact TPL’s operating and capital budgets in a number of ways. Immediately following the shutdown, there were additional operating cost pressures, including the loss revenues from fines, printing and facility rentals. Some operating budget reliefs being experienced include savings in guard services, utilities, staff printing and office supplies. All staff continue to be paid. There are also additional costs being incurred related to setting up a remote workforce. Overall, for the first month of the shutdown, TPL estimates that there is a net operating budget pressure of nearly $1 million. As the shutdown continues, it is expected that lost revenues will continue, and additional savings will be realized for the operating budget, and this will be monitored and reported to the Board and City.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Toronto Public Library Response
    . STAFF REPORT 21 INFORMATION ONLY Toronto Overdose Action Plan – Toronto Public Library Response Date: September 25, 2017 To: Toronto Public Library Board From: City Librarian SUMMARY In February 2017, Toronto Public Health engaged TPL to participate in the planned response by city services to the Toronto Overdose Action Plan. As a result, Toronto Public Library adopted mandatory information/awareness overdose basics training for all public service staff provided by Toronto Public Health that is currently underway. Further review of training needs for public service staff was recommended and TPL has sought to partner with Toronto Public Health on future public education and promotion initiatives in support of the plan. As the year progressed, the city experienced further worsening of the opioid crisis. Previous barriers to accessing stock of naloxone, the medication that can temporarily reverse an opioid overdose, and the provision of in-person training in administration were removed, and the library system is preparing to offer expanded, voluntary training for staff if needed to respond to an overdose situation onsite. FINANCIAL IMPACT Online and in-person training is being provided for staff via Toronto Public Health at no cost. Arrangements are being made to acquire intranasal naloxone kits via the City of Toronto’s Material Management and Stores at the cost of $145 per pack (each pack contains two units of intranasal naloxone). Stock will be purchased on an as-need basis and distributed once qualified staff have completed training. There is a possibility that in the future some naloxone kits may be acquired from Toronto Public Health at no cost, but will be dependent on provincial funding still being determined.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register -1627 Danforth Avenue
    ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - 1627 Danforth Avenue Date: April 4, 2019 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 19 – Beaches-East York SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The site contains a complex known historically as the Danforth Carhouse, which is currently owned by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). It was developed beginning in 1914 by the Toronto Civic Railways (TCR), expanded by the Toronto Transportation Commission (forerunner to today's TTC) and the TTC and currently used as offices and staff facilities for TTC personnel. In 2015, City Council requested that the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue be researched and evaluated for inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. It has been identified for its potential cultural heritage value in the Danforth Avenue Planning Study (2018). It is the selected site for a police station consolidating 54 and 55 Divisions. The property at 1627 Danforth Avenue is part of a Master Plan study being undertaken by CreateTO to guide the redevelopment of the site as a multi-use civic hub for the Toronto Transit Commission, the Toronto Police Service and the Toronto Public Library as the key anchor tenants, which will incorporate and adaptively reuse the Danforth Carhouse. RECOMMENDATIONS The Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design City Planning recommends that: 1. City Council include the property at 1627 Danforth Avenue on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register in accordance with the Statement of Significance (Reasons for Inclusion), attached as Attachment 3 to the report (April 4, 2019) from the Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning.
