DAREarts EMPOWERING AT RISK CHILDREN DAREarts is arts education that empowers ‘at risk’ children. This is the best day of my life. DAREarts child, 9 DAREarts dares children to make positive choices in their lives through educational experiences in art, architecture, dance, drama, design, fashion, literature, music, – all the arts. You are saving this child from the wrong crowd. Principal DAREarts is a national, not-for-profit organization which stands for Discipline, Action and Responsibility in Education. DAREarts’ 5-year all-the-arts program empowers ‘at risk’ 9–14 year olds who have been chosen from elementary schools in less advantaged areas to become leaders. The children paint, sculpt, sing, dance, compose, design, write, act and create as they ‘travel’ through the centuries exploring world cultures, guided by arts professionals. The children gain self esteem and leadership skills and then return to their schools to teach their classmates. Since 1996, DAREarts has flourished in Ontario and is expanding across Canada, influencing over 10,000 children yearly.

    ARNNUAL EPORT 2010 2010 ANNUAL REPORT Toronto Transit Commission As at December 31, 2010 Chair Vice-Chair Karen Stintz Peter Milczyn Commissioners Maria Vincent Frank Norm Denzil Cesar John Augimeri Crisanti Di Giorgio Kelly Minnan-Wong Palacio Parker Letter from the Chair Date: April, 2011 To: Mayor Rob Ford and Councillors of the City of Toronto It is my privilege to submit the 2010 Annual Report for the Toronto Transit Commission, my first since becoming Chair of the TTC. Work Safe-Home Safe There is nothing more important to the TTC than safety – the safety of its customers, as well as the safety of its employees. In 2010, the Work Safe-Home Safe program, a safety initiative designed to reduce workplace injuries at the TTC, continued with great success. Since the program began in 2008, we have seen a reduction in our lost-time injury rate of more than 28 per cent. The program relies on all employees to participate and lead this safety program. Committees made up of unionized employees work with management employees to identify risks, and remove workplace hazards. The program’s goal is to ensure every TTC employee leaves work in the same condition in which he or she arrived – healthy and injury-free. Customer Service In March 2010, as part of the TTC’s commitment to customer service excellence, the Commission approved the formation of an independent Customer Service Advisory Panel. The panel was Chaired by Mr. Steve O’Brien. Mr. O’Brien has 30 years experience in the hospitality industry, and is the General Manager of One King West Hotel and Residence in downtown Toronto.

TTC marks 90 years of service to the citizens of Toronto In September, the Toronto Transit Commission marked its 90th anniversary as a public service in the city of Toronto. On September 1, 1921, the Toronto Transportation Commission (renamed the Toronto Transit Commission in 1954) began serving the residents of Toronto when it took over a mix of private and municipal street railways. Adult fares were set at seven cents and tickets were four for 25 cents. Over the past 90 years, Toronto has seen the opening of Canada’s first subway in 1954, to today’s new subway trains and expansion plans geared toward getting people around the city more quickly. The TTC has become a vital part of life in Toronto, and has played a fundamental role in the quality of life in our city. Tunnelling underway for Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension In June, tunnelling began on the Toronto-York Spadina Subway Extension. I had the honour of hosting the event, welcoming our funding partners, represented by the Honourable Peter Kent, Minister of the Environment, representing the Government of Canada; the Honourable Kathleen Wynne, Ontario’s Minister of Transportation; His Worship Rob Ford, Mayor of Toronto; and Bill Fisch, York Region Chairman and CEO.

  • March 29, 2018 Mayor John Tory Office of the Mayor City Hall, 2Nd Floor 100 Queen St. W. Toronto, on M5H 2N2 Realizing Toronto Y
    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.

  • March 26, 2013 His Worship Rob Ford Mayor, City of Toronto
    March 26, 2013 His Worship Rob Ford Mayor, City of Toronto Toronto City Hall 2nd Floor, 100 Queen St. West, Toronto ON M5H 2N2 Dear Mayor Ford, The Ontario Association of Architects continually collects feedback from architects across the province to understand what is happening in the municipalities where they work. Through this process, we have become increasingly aware of concerns relating to clarity and cost of municipal approval processes, and public transparency of intent. With regard to the City of Toronto, some of our members are very concerned with aspects of the new City-wide Zoning By-law, and have made repeated presentations to the Planning and Growth Management Committee. When mistakes are made, the impact on the built form in the City is substantial. These detrimental effects will not only resonate on the construction and design industry, but on the residents of this great City, and on the City as a whole. These architects, members of the OAA, have formed a Task Group to identify and solve issues with the City-wide Zoning By-law. We request that you take their concerns seriously and consider if the proposed zoning by-law will achieve your goals. These architects have repeatedly expressed a willingness to meet with Councillors or answer their questions. They have also repeatedly expressed a willingness to meet with the City in good faith to work quickly, and in support of the overall concept of a harmonized zoning by-law, on changes that could benefit everyone in the City. We hope that you will take up their offer.
