A south Parkdale arts organizer, settlement worker and ESL teacher, Dolma had already declared her candidacy for an expanded Ward 18, which now covers swaths of Parkdale, the Junction and Bloordale. She considers affordable housing, transit, gun violence and inclusivity key planks of her election platform. 4/5 articles left Register for free to unlock more articles on The StarRegister https://www.thestar.com/news/toronto-election/2018/08/05/parkdale-candidate-in-city-election-will-stay-the-course-after-doug-fords-… 1/4 8/6/2018 Parkdale candidate in city election will stay the course after Doug Ford’s council plans | The Star Kalsang Dolma is vying to become the second Tibetan-Canadian elected to oce in Canada and the second woman of colour to hold oce in Toronto. (METROLAND) Dolma, who would become only the second Tibetan-Canadian to hold elected office in Canada if she won, was expecting to go up against Gord Perks in the October municipal election, the incumbent councillor who has represented the former ward of Parkdale-High Park the last three council terms. Should Doug Ford succeed in his plan to amend the City of Toronto Act to condense council to 25 seats from 47 (council has been at 44 wards but was to increase to 47 with the current election), another incumbent, Sarah Doucette, would likely enter the same race.

Now she’s running for mayor Opinion | Edward Keenan: ‘Affordability’ is the key issue in this election Facing two sitting members of council makes Dolma’s campaign that much tougher. “Certainly we’ll have a much larger electorate base to canvass, which will make it more challenging to get out to the voters,” said Dolma, who intends to stay in the race for the time being as the new legislation — introduced in the Ontario Legislature last week — proceeds through debate. 4/5 articles left Register for free to unlock more articles on The StarRegister “For new candidates like myself, it was quite a shocking announcement.” https://www.thestar.com/news/toronto-election/2018/08/05/parkdale-candidate-in-city-election-will-stay-the-course-after-doug-fords-… 2/4 8/6/2018 Parkdale candidate in city election will stay the course after Doug Ford’s council plans | The Star Dolma said she would wait to see what the response is to the new legislation. She did not rule out joining a class-action lawsuit to stop the amendment if it becomes law. “I would 100 per cent support a group action,” said Dolma. “I’ve not been approached by anyone as of yet.” Beyond money raised and spent on the campaign, Dolma said she owed campaign volunteers who have already spent many hours door-knocking and canvassing residents. “We’ve spent months working and the commitment of the volunteers is invaluable,” she said. Ford’s unprecedented decision to tinker with Toronto’s governmental structure during an election campaign has disrupted challengers like Dolma, seeking to become just the second woman of colour to hold office in Toronto, the other being Kristyn Wong-Tam. According to Michal Hay from the advocacy group Progress Toronto, before Ford’s action, as many as 12 seats could have gone to progressive challengers in the Oct. 22 election, many of them younger women of colour. But, as in Ward 18, those races could instead see long-time incumbents facing off against each other in an election version of the Hunger Games, as progressive councillor Joe Mihevc put it. “This is literal gerrymandering of seats in the middle of an election campaign,” said Hay. “It’s completely unprecedented.” Progress Toronto had only just launched itself into the city spotlight to get left-wing candidates with social justice and pro-environmental leanings elected. While the group is mulling its own court challenge to the legislation, it has also launched an online petition, endorsed by thousands, as well as a letter-writing campaign to urge Ontario MPPs not to support Bill 5. Hay also hoped moderate Progressive Conservatives could put a brake on the premier’s plans, even though Ford could bypass debate of the legislation within his own party, allowing for the passage into law in as little as a couple of weeks. Hay believes the rationale stated by the PC Party for cleaving council, because it is fundamentally dysfunctional and too expensive to support, is undemocratic. “It’s troubling and reckless,” said Hay. Toronto council voted by majority last week to hold a special meeting in mid-August to determine if it should proceed with a court case against the province. 4/5 articles left Register for free to unlock more articles on The Star Rahul Gupta is a reporter at Toronto.com.

  • 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 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.
