Motion
that
I
want
to
release
is
the
one
that's
on
the
screen.
It's
a
technical
amendment
that
staff
brought
to
my
attention
on
some
minor
adjustments
to
the
zoning
bylaw
they
drafted
it.
They
recommended
it
and
I'm,
simply
the
mover
of
it
and
my
apologies
for
it
being
late
on
council,
but
the
staff
member
was
a
way
that
had
to
draft
this
information.
Okay,.
B
Page
three
bill,
139
proposed
amendments
and
I
know
my
colleague
had
wanted
to
speak
to
it
it's
up
to
her.
She
still
if
she
wants
to
then
if
we
could
find
a
time
for
it,
but
she's
fattest
fied.
If
we
pass
her
amendments
and
she's
nodding
her
head,
she
is
and
I
would
just
release
it
with
the
motion
that
councillor
wong-tam
put
forward
and
vote
on
it
now.
Okay,.
A
A
K
K
Recently,
you
gave
a
presentation
at
the
University
of
Toronto,
and
you
talked
about
three
possible
futures
for
the
City
of
Toronto.
In
terms
of
service
delivery,
one
was
simply
delivering
services
to
property.
One
was
the
level
of
service
we
have
now,
and
one
was
enhancing
services
in
that
presentation.
You
also
said
that
the
current
revenue
model
and
financial
planning
that
we
have
at
the
City
of
Toronto
only
would
allow
us
to
afford
the
first
one
services
to
property.
Is
that
correct?
It.
L
K
L
Is
a
20-year
plan
that
lays
out
two
billion
dollars
worth
of
spending
in
order
to,
in
fact
actually
increase
and
enhance
service
levels
it
provides.
It
gets
us
about
two-thirds
of
the
way
there,
which
I
consider
to
be
frankly
an
extraordinary
achievement,
obviously
about
additional
700
million
dollars
or
so
will
be
required
over
a
20-year
period.
It
does
not
lay
that
out,
but
I
would
not
expect
us
to
lay
that
out
over
a
20-year
period.
At
this
point,
thank
you.
M
J
M
Have
particular
interest
in
the
fourth
bullet
point
for
Awards,
8,
9
and
10
and
I'm
wondering
who
knows
what's
happening
there
I
understand
that
representatives
of
the
federal
and
provincial
governments
have
come
to
see
you,
your
staff
and
the
mayor
and
his
staff
about
it.
They
have
not
come
to
see
me.
Can
you
give
me
or
can
the
mayor's
office
give
me
some
indication
of
what
the
correspondence
has
been
so.
J
Through
you,
madam
Speaker,
there's
no
there's
nothing
any
correspondence
through
our
office,
their
husband
some
course
through
the
mayor's
office
and
in
in
respect
to
that
particular
item.
As
as
you
likely
know,
there's
a
number
of
development
factors
at
play
in
and
around
that
area,
and
the
plan
would
be
to
prioritize
the
creation
of
this
Community
Recreation
Center,
which
is
called
for
in
the
development
strategy
in
Downsview.
Alongside
the
development
as
it
takes
place,
would.
A
M
Miss
Rama
replied
to
my
question
about
indoor
pools
and
my
particular
interest
was
the
one
forward
that
would
service
wards.
8,
9
and
10
in
Downsview
and
I
had
understood
that
the
proponents
came
to
your
office
and
2ms
Rollmops
office
to
update
you
on
any
kind
of
federal
or
provincial
monies
that
might
be
available
and
I
wanted
to
know.
If
there
was
an
update
on
that.
M
L
L
You
know
the
money
is
there,
no
I
have
not,
but
I've
certainly
received
I
will
say
to
to
councilor
Mary
many
positive
indication
saying
if
you
kind
of
you
know,
make
the
space
available
and
if
you
kind
of
include
this
in
your
plans,
we
will
come
forward
with
some
money,
but
I
hear
that
often
and
I'm
not
saying
that
in
any
cynical
way,
but
the
people
who've
said
it
to
me.
I
think
they're
very
genuine,
but
I
have
not
seen
anything.
That
would
lead
me
to
believe.
It's
a
sure
thing.
So.
L
Answer
for
myself
through
you,
madam
Speaker,
simply
to
say
I,
have
taken
note
of
the
fact
that
they
always
said
our
in
effect
contribution
to
this.
If
they
made
a
substantial
amount
of
contribution
to
pay
for
most
or
all
of
this
would
be
to
run
it
and
pay
for
it
going
forward
and
I've
said,
I
was
aware
that
was
there,
that
was
their
opening
position,
but
I've
never
responded.
It's
not
my
place
to
respond
positively
or
negatively
and
I've
just
said.
Fine
I
understand
that
thank.
M
L
J
M
Speaker
I'm
concerned
that
we
have
set
up
a
scenario
where
the
community,
by
which
the
community
loses,
we
have
set
up
a
bank
of
money
that
will
that
is
supposed
to.
According
to
the
OMB
decision,
be
replenished
with
supposed
section
37
money.
Every
time
the
federal
government
sells
off
its
parkland
to
a
developer
so
the
bit
and
that
this
section
37
money
this
bank,
this
pool
of
money,
is
supposed
to
be
used
for
a
community
center.
M
J
So
through
you,
madam
Speaker
I,
don't
have
the
specific
development
agreement
before
me
around
the
entire
Downsview
land.
My
understanding
is.
There
is
some
expectation
that
the
development
of
that
secondary
plan
and
the
combination
of
development
charges,
section,
32
and
other
development
based
levies
would
fund
at
least
a
predominant
portion
of
that
community
center.
So.
M
Speaker,
then,
might
through
you
my
contention
is
that
this
community
center,
if
the
federal
government
doesn't
come
through
with
infrastructure
funds,
now
will
not
be
built
because
how
many
years
similar
to
your
community
center
in
in
York?
How
many
years
do
we
wait?
We
have
about
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
in
there
now
for
a
forty
or
fifty
million
dollar
Community
Center.
Of
course
it's
not
in
your
ten-year
plan.
How
much
money
do
we
need
in
that
Bank
in
order
to
get
this
indoor
pool
in
this
community
center?
So.
J
Three
months
speaker,
you
know
the
average
the
cost
the
full
cost
for
the
community
center
would
be
reported
back
in
the
implementation
strategy
that
we
are
coming
back
with
at
the
end
of
q2
I,
couldn't
say
what
the
full
cost
would
be
without
commenting
on
how
big
it
is
and
the
various
components
of
it.
But
the
expectation
is
that
there
will
be
growth
related
funding
in
that
particular
area.
That
will
pay
for
the
predominance
of
that
community
center
and
we're
planning
for
that.
As
the
popul.
M
M
N
J
N
N
H
N
N
Sometimes
the
section
37
money
leveraged
city
money
in
order
to
complete
or
pay
the
full
cost
of
a
facility
and
I
have
always
felt
as
though
those
that
have
seemed
to
get
more
and
so
I
guess
I'm
wondering
whether
that
issue
is
being
addressed.
Those
that
have
access
to
large
section
37
funds
and
those
that
don't
so.
J
Through
the
speaker,
the
the
purpose
of
the
plan
is
to
equalize
the
provision
of
facilities
across
the
city,
so
to
address
growth
as
it
occurs,
but
also
to
address
gaps
in
service
level,
provision
across
the
city,
so
that
there's
a
standardized
approach
to
the
provision
of
Recreation
and
Parks
facilities
across
the
city.
So
the
section
37
funding
piece
of
it.
J
You
are
correct
in
areas
of
the
city
where
there
is
no
section
37
funding
and
there
are
facility
gaps
that
will
be
the
hardest
part
of
this
plan
to
fund,
because
we
don't
have
the
development
income
to
support
that
those
facilities
and
I
would
suggest
that
it's
that
funding
in
those
facilities
that
is
within
that
gap
of
funding
that
we're
presenting
in
this
plan.
Okay,.
J
N
Exactly
I
know
when
we
were
doing
the
swimming
pool
strategies
many
years
ago
there
were
questions
about
density
versus
geographic,
distance
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you've
taken
into
account
both
of
those
through
the
speaker.
I,
can
assure
you
that
we
have
okay.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
work.
I
You
ma'am
speak
him
with
the
facilities
I'm
going
to
this
more
local,
for
example,
day
Joseph
JP
Cheney
comments
entering
were
seventeen
that
import,
that's
Community,
Center
that
was
built
in
the
late
seventeen
and
it's
approaching
its
and
well
it's
aging,
and
it's
almost
forty
years
old.
So
it's
approaching
his
its
final
lifespan.
I
Now
poor
facilities
like
this,
which
not
in
the
radar
within
the
implementation
for
the
next
twenty
years,
given
the
level
of
gentrification,
given
the
pressures
that
comes
along
with
it,
for
more
green
space
and
for
more
and
recreational
services
where,
where
is
the
plan
apart
from
the
incremental
phases
that
you
are
referring
to,
that
will
take
place
every
five
of
ten
years?
Where
is
the
plan
for
facilities
like
these
are
they're
aging
rapidly
and
for
the
next
twenty
years?
So.
J
It
is
part
of
our
regular
state
of
good
repair
program,
and
we
do
have
as
an
example
through
our
building
assessments
that
are
conducted
every
five
years
about
five
and
a
half
million
dollars,
budgeted
roughly
five
years
from
now
to
do
a
number
of
facility
improvements
in
that
facility.
So
our
plan
would
be
to
ensure
that
the
facility
continues
to
be
in
state
of
good
repair
so
that
it
can
be
used
and
ensure
that
the
systems
are
updated
so
that
the
community
can
still
access
the
facility.
I.
I
Do
appreciate
the
answer,
but,
being
there
almost
every
day
and
listening
from
the
community
at
large
and
from
staff
at
the
gjp,
things
have
become
very
in
extremely
challenging.
For
example,
next
month
the
center
will
be
closed
room
and
just
for
repairs
and
Florrie
floor
barking,
whatever
else
the
swimming
pool.
As
you
know,
the
outside
swimming
pool
has
been
closed
over
and
over
again
because
of
its
age
and
that's
falling
apart,
and
if
it
wasn't
because
of
the
federal
funding,
the
community
had
no
pool
or
whatsoever.
I
So,
given
those
challenges,
I
do
appreciate
having
these
reviews
every
five
years
or
every
ten
years,
but
for
the
community
of
that
large
having
their
own
community
center
in
that
part
of
town,
that's
not
acceptable.
So
I
would
like
to
see
something
that's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
and
more
robust
in
terms
of
coming
forward.
So.
J
Through
you,
madam
Speaker,
we're
happy,
through
this
plan
and
through
the
implementation
strategy
to
have
another
look
at
the
jjp
community
center
to
see
what's
being
planned
there
from
an
improvement
perspective
and
to
see
through
the
increased
investment
in
state
of
good
repair.
What
else
can
be
achieved
in
that
in
that
building
so
that
it
can
serve
the
community
and
enhance
I'm.
K
C
O
I
I
When
you
have
people
that
they
don't
have
any
other
place
to
go,
how
important
in
the
priority
list
of
these
investments
is,
is
not
only
the
community
center
but
also
the
buildings
around
within
the
Earth's
core
Park
that
are
falling
apart,
literally
speaking,
that
they
should
be
closed
down,
because
the
it's
condition
that
even
the
sewage
is
backing
up.
That's
unsanitary
and
we've
been
asking
for
the
five
and
ten
years
for
godsakes
to
do
something,
and
that's
my
frustration
is:
how
can
you
help?
How
can
we
have
something
that
something
rely
on
for
the
community.
J
Through
the
speaker,
I,
you
know,
I
would
have
to
go
out
to
look
at
the
specifics
in
Earls
Court
Park
to
see
the
conditions
that
you're
speaking
of
and
to
do
an
additional
assessment.
I
can't
speak
specifically
to
that
instance
around
the
waitlist.
We
have
a
report
going
to
the
Community
Development
of
Recreation
Committee
in
the
next
cycle
that
looks
at
a
growth
strategy
to
increase
the
volume
of
programming
that
we're
delivering
to
try
and
address
them.
Thank.
I
You
my
last
question
and
is
the
most
important
one,
because
I'm
going
to
be
putting
a
motion
forward.
It's
moving
forward
and
in
terms
of
these
five
year,
implemented
or
ten
year
implementation
strategies
that
you
may
bring
forward
to
give
you
that
sense
of
flexibility.
Reports
for
start
to
report
back
on
these
facilities.
How
important
would
be
to
have
something
that
citywide
I'm
not
going
to
be
specific,
is
my
Center
but
citywide,
something
generic,
so
you
can
bring
something
forward.
That's.
O
Speaker,
just
just
a
question
about
the
overall
approach
to
this:
it's
a
it's
a
very
long
plan.
It
took
me
longer
to
read
it
than
the
entire
novel,
a
Curious
Incident
of
a
dog
in
the
night,
and
so
it's
conceivable
that
not
everyone
has
read
it,
and
certainly
the
community
probably
won't
read
the
whole
thing,
but
I'm
wondering
if
you've
just
outlined
the
how
you
will
approach
the
equity.
The
last
two
questioners
have
kind
of
indicated
what
it
is
I'm
looking
for
you
to
question
because
we
do
have
the
problem.
O
The
map
shows
it
early
in
the
report
that
development
and
section
37
is
going
to
happen,
big
style
all
along
the
transit
avenues,
I'm
the
beneficiary
and,
in
other
places
nothing
with
state
of
good
repair
issues.
So
how
will
we
address
that
in
equity?
If,
if
say
say
a
counselor
says
no
I
want
funding
to
I
want
public
funding
to?
Is
there
a
way
to
to
direct
that
they
target
a
portion
of
their
section
37
to
your
plan,
to
make
sure
that
you
can
address
equity
so
through.
J
The
speaker
there's
a
number
of
different
ways.
You
know
I
guess
to
begin
with.
The
plan
does
look
at
equity
and
provision
equitable
provision
across
the
city
as
a
primary
goal,
in
principle
of
what
we're
trying
to
achieve
right.
So
it
creates
provision
levels
for
various
number
of
assets
based
on
population
per
asset
in
areas
of
the
city
where
there
are
gaps
and
where
there
is
not
the
development.
J
Cash
in
lieu
pot
right
try
and
redistribute
some
of
those
funds
to
area
of
the
city
that
don't
traditionally
have
access
to
some
of
those
development
dollars.
I
think
in
this
plan,
the
the
the
the
amount
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
is
not
just
around
new
facilities,
but
also
calls
for
reinvestment
of
some
existing
facilities
that
wouldn't
necessarily
be
subject
or
meet
the
criteria
around
using
that
pot.
So
we
look
at
it
from
two
different
ends.
O
J
O
So
you
have
within
the
development
regime,
you
have
that
citywide
pot,
you
have
the
section
37
and-and-and
targeted
area
pot
that
that
the
community
and
the
counselor
will,
probably,
by
and
large
they
they
generally
do.
Some
of
the
earliest
suggestions
are
in
the
realm
of
Parks
and
Rec.
That's
correct,
but
the
other
thing
and
I
wonder
if
you
wanted
to
speak
to
this.
The
other
thing
that
the
mapping
and
the
system's
approach
early
in
the
plan.
So
even
if
you
only
read
the
summary
at
the
beginning
early
in
the
plan,
it
also
outlines.
O
J
The
speaker-
that's
absolutely
correct,
so
the
plan
hopes
to
sustain
a
provision
level
over
time
and
demonstrates
that
if
we
don't
invest
in
areas
of
the
city
where
the
population
is
increasing
the
provision
levels
in
those
areas,
the
city
will
decrease
and
they
will
become
under
represented
from
a
service
level
provision.
So
facilities
need
to
develop
alongside
growth,
to
address
that
growth,
and
we
also
need
to
develop
facilities
in
areas
of
the
city
where
there
has
not
been
significant.
Growth
and
gaps
exist.
J
In
a
perfect
example,
I
can
use
as
the
York
Community
Center,
which
is
one
that
was
funded,
not
through
section
37
or
cash
in
lieu
through
the
citywide
fund
cash
in
lieu,
but
didn't
have
the
access
to
that
growth.
Related
funding
right
was
a
very
significant
gap
in
service
in
that
area.
In
the
city.
O
20
years
and
lastly,
where
we
are
investing
in
those
areas,
it's
also
true.
The
development
is
happening
where
the
transit
is
and
therefore
facilities
that
do
spring
up.
Well,
it's
probably
the
result
of
development.
We
also
end
up
providing
connected
citywide
facilities
in
that
they
are
easily
accessible
by
transit
by.
H
A
J
J
I
would
suggest
there
is
a
number
of
different
factors
that
would
contribute
to
the
span
of
an
arena
mostly
related
to
how
it
was
built,
what
how
how
it
has
been
maintained
over
the
years
and
a
number
of
other
factors.
So
there
wouldn't
be
any
one
truism
for
any
arena.
We
have
arenas
that
a
age
from
20
to
50
years
in
the
city
so
and
in
some
cases
the
older
ones
as
long
as
they're
maintained,
probably
okay,.
J
J
J
D
J
Through
the
speaker,
the
plan
calls
to
as
some
of
the
oldest
arenas
require
an
incredibly
large
amount
of
state
of
good
repair
to
think
about
decommissioning
those
arenas
not
necessarily
losing
the
ice
but
adding
to
the
newer
Raiders
RINO's.
So
we
could
have
as
an
example,
more
double
patterning,
as
rather
than
single
patterns,
so
through
the
implementation
strategy,
we'll
be
looking
at
some
of
those
opportunities
across
the
city
over
time.
Okay,.
D
But
you
didn't
really
answer.
My
question
is
how
many
you
think
really
should
be
not
what
you're
doing
what
the
plan
says,
but
if
what
you
really
did,
I
would
suggest
arenas
like
Angela
James,
York
Mills,
with
the
small
dressing
rooms,
the
Civitan
small
dressing
rooms,
poorly
accessible,
unable
to
have
changed
facilities
for
females
I
mean
all
those
factors,
I
would
suggest.
D
J
Through
the
speaker,
I
wouldn't
suggest
it's
thirty.
You
know
we
have
generally,
with
the
arenas,
done
significant
state
of
good
repair
as
an
example
to
replace
the
ice,
making
equipment
and
refrigeration
systems
the
rink
boards.
You
are
correct
when
it
comes
to
change
rooms
and
accessibility
and
the
number
of
change
rooms.
Those
are
where
the
biggest
challenges.
A
D
D
J
You,
madam
Speaker,
we
have
looked
at
some
five-year
implementation
strategies.
Five
at
a
time,
I
would
suggest
that
of
the
community
centers
that
are
in
this,
which
are
the
largest
sort
of
implementation
issues.
There
are
14
that
are
already
identified
within
our
tenure
strategy
or
an
hour
2020
or
strategy.
So,
given
the
amount
of
facilities
that
are
identified,
it
will
take
some
time
to
be
able
to
okay.
D
J
D
J
E
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
pools
and
that
there
are
throughout
the
city
a
lot
of
pools
that
the
city
initially
had
built
and
that
are
in
Toronto,
District,
School,
Board,
schools
and
I'm
know
that.
Currently
we
cannot
use
section
37
or
section
42
to
upgrade
any
of
those
facilities.
Is
that
correct
through.
J
The
speaker
there
are
some
rules
around
how
we
can
spend
section
37
and
section
42
and
in
many
instances
some
of
our
partnerships
with
the
school
boards
from
past
years.
The
properties
are
actually
owned
by
the
school
board.
So
there
are
some
rules
that
dictate
how
those
funds
can
be
allocated.
That's
correct.
E
So
I
have
allocated
and
I
believe
other
councillors
have
allocated
for
playgrounds.
Let's
say
certain
section
37
dollars
for
the
playground,
but
there
is
a
proviso
or
a
written
agreement
with
the
Toronto
District,
School,
Board
or
Catholic
school
board
that
should
they
dispense
or
disperse
that
property.
Should
they
surplus
it
or
sell
it
that
those
dollars
would
come
back
in
the
sale
of
that
property.
That's.
J
J
The
speaker
there
has
been
instances
and
there
is
opportunity
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
to
look
at
those
opportunities.
This
plan
does
speak
to
a
more
robust
partnership
framework
with
both
of
the
major
school
boards
in
Toronto,
and
that
could
be
one
of
the
items
that
we
would
put
on
the
table
and
discussion
with
them
around
a
larger
sort
of
principles,
around
partnership
and.
J
The
speaker,
I,
can
only
speak
to
you,
know
some
of
the
provisions
and
rules
around
the
allocation
of
section
42
that
are
provided
for
in
the
Planning
Act
and
the
definition
of
where
those
monies
can
go.
But
we
can
certainly
have
a
conversation
with
planning
and
with
legal
around
that
again.
We've
had
some
of
those
discussions.
As
you
know,
and
and
section
42
has
not
been
deemed
as
a
reasonable
investment
in
an
in
a
school
board,
property
and.
J
E
E
J
E
F
J
F
J
F
J
F
F
You
wouldn't
who
would
probably
meet
the
adequate,
what
services
that
people
will
know
if,
in
the
event
and
and
as
I
understand
in
councillor
Ainsley's
ward,
one
a
private
one
of
the
private
curling
clubs
is
going
to
be
taken
down
decisions,
gonna
I,
don't
know
if
it's
firm
but
we're
gonna
be
losing
a
curling
club
in
Scarborough.
Would
that
change
your
recommendations
when
you
look
and
it's
over
300
members
at
this
particular
club?
Would
that
change
your
recommendations
on
providing
the
right
kind
of
recreation
curling
for
residents
of
Scarborough
through.
J
The
speaker
I,
you
know
I,
think
we'd
have
to
have
another
look
at
it.
What
we
do
is
have
a
look
at
those
300
members
have
a
look
at
the
capacity
of
the
existing
curling
clubs
that
already
exist
across
the
city
and
whether
there's
any
capacity
for
them
to
absorb
that
increase
membership
and
then
have
some
analysis
and
decision
making.
When
that
takes.
F
But
I
would
assume
when
you
look-
and
you
said
capacity
across
the
city,
I'd
find
it
a
challenge
to
think
that
you
could
have
capacity
over
an
Etobicoke
for
something
that's
happened
to
scarper,
see
really
only
looking
at
this
two
facilities.
One
is
gone
that
there's
a
good
chance.
We
may
have
to
look
at
provisions
of
some
sort
in
Scarborough
and,
if
I
moved
emotion
for
you
to
look
at
that
in
the
event
that
we're
losing
one
private
facility
you'd
be
able
look
at
that
sure.
P
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
In
northeast
corner
of
Scarborough,
we
are
getting
a
community
center
in
the
plan,
but
it's
at
at
Sheppard.
The
new
development
in
in
northeast
corner
Morningside
Heights
area
does
not
get
identified
as
a
separate
neighborhood
within
the
neighborhood
index
of
the
City
of
Toronto,
though
the
signs
say
it's
a
new
neighborhood
has
that
been
considered
in
the
decision-making.
P
P
Terms
of
in
terms
of
assessing
the
needs,
what
gets
considered
like
distance,
it
does
that's
TTC
travel
time
or
the
lack
of
transportation
gets
considered
as
well.
Even
though
we
are
designing
now
like
the
mega
schools
like
mega
community
centers
is
their
transportation
factors
and
walkability
or
bikeability
consist
roughly.
J
The
most
predominant
factor
that
we
use
in
planning
and
locating
a
large
community
center
would
be
population
in
a
we
use.
A
2.5
kilometer
radius
around
where
the,
where
the
community
center
mainly
may
be
located.
All
of
the
things
that
you've
noted,
accessibility,
transportation
in
choosing
a
location
would
really
help
guide
us
choosing
a
location
that
obviously
has
the
best
accessibility
to
the
local
community.
So.
P
J
Correct
but
the
the
plan
you
know
through
you,
madam
Speaker,
there's
only
a
certain
amount
of
community
centers
we
can
get.
We
can
actually
provide
given
the
budget
that
we
have
so
we've
used
the
broadest
definition
of
that
radius,
so
that
we
can
create
an
equitable
distribution
across
the
city.
My.
P
J
You,
madam
Speaker,
you're,
absolutely
correct
that
the
plan
calls
for
five
new
cricket
fields.
As
you
know,
the
space
required
for
a
cricket
field
is
almost
twice
that
of
a
soccer
field
and
we
are
challenged
around
how
to
find
that
space.
So
the
plan
speaks
to
developing
as
many
partnerships
as
possible,
whether
it's
indoor
outdoor
to
try
and
deliver
that
service
in
some
way.
We
also
agree
there
is
a
huge
demand
for
increased
cricket
in
the
city
and
it's
something
specifically
addressed
in
the
plan.
My.
P
J
P
Q
J
Through
you,
madam
Speaker,
there's
no
formal
relationship.
I
would
suggest
that
and
the
plan
recommends
that
in
all
cases
when
it
comes
to
a
community
recreation
center,
developing
a
new
one
or
even
refurbishing
an
existing
one
that
we
partner
wherever
possible.
I,
could
point
to
a
number
of
examples
where
community
recreation
centers
have,
by
virtue
of
the
tenants
or
the
partnerships
in
the
building
or
acting
as
community
hubs
in
the
community
right.
Q
J
Q
J
Through
the
speaker,
partnerships
come
in
many
ways
in
many
instances.
It's
the
city
that
pursue
those
partnerships
and
other
instances,
its
external
groups
that
come
to
the
city
to
discuss
those
partnerships,
so
I
think
they
can
come
in
in
any
way
and
and
in
assessing
those
partnerships,
we
would
use
the
criteria
and
the
provision
levels
of
the
plan
to
see
if
it's
an
appropriate
partnership
to
fit
with
the
plan
and
a
number
of
other
factors
around
the
viability
of
who
the
partners
are
and
the
rest
of
it.
Q
So
I
believe
it's
on
page,
I,
think
seven
or
eight
page,
seven
nearing
the
bottom
of
the
page,
render
what
has
been
done
from
the
2004
recreation
facilities
report.
It
does
say
under
bullet
point.
Three
three
remain
outstanding
of
being
integrated
into
the
2019
2003
facilities,
master
plan,
nor
threats
tale
being
one
of
them
which
of
course,
I
represent
since
they
have
not
been
completed
to
date
from
2004.
Will
there
be
a
priority
put
on
these
specific
communities
it
going
forward
through.
J
Q
Q
J
Three,
madam
Speaker,
we
continue
to
work
with
our
partners
in
City,
Planning,
around
population
and
grow
and
all
of
those
items
that
contribute
to
addressing
and
identifying
need
across
the
city
and
will
continue
to
do
that.
Our
hope
is
that
this
plan
will
be
as
flexible
as
as
possible.
It
speaks
to
what
we
know
right
now
and
what
we
project
in
the
next
20
years.
But,
as
is
the
case
with
the
2004
plan,
many
things
changed
and
and
we're
negotiated
as
part
of
that
plan.
R
J
Speaker,
depending
on
the
size
of
the
community
center
I,
know
the
community
center
you're
speaking
up
and
I,
would
say
every
15
or
20
years.
We
need
to
do
a
major
refurbishment
of
a
community
center
and
in
general,
across
the
city,
they're
generally
closed
anywhere
between
a
year
and
two
years.
Well,
that
refurbishment
takes
place
depending
on
what
needs
to
be
done.
This
answers,
like
four
of
my
questions,.
J
Madam
Speaker,
there
will
always
be
the
requirement
for
major
refurbishment
some
facilities
in
any
kind
of
facility
management
plan
with
existing
facilities.
Through
this
plan,
we
hope
to
increase
our
investment
in
ongoing
state
of
good
repair
so
that
a
lot
of
our
backlog
is
addressed
earlier.
The
hope
would
be
that
the
need
for
that
kind
of
long
term
shutdown
may
be
decreased
as
a
result
of
increasing
our
investment
in
an
ongoing
basis.
So
some
of
those
things
that
have
made
this
particular
closer
long
could
be
avoided.
C
A
C
J
C
J
C
C
Fastest
growing
sport
in
north
america
depends
where
you
talk
to.
If
you
talk
to
people
that
play
cricket,
they
will
say
it's
cricket.
If
you
talk
to
soccer
players
and
say
soccer,
but
let's
take
cricket
is
their
plans
right
now
for
the
eastern
part
of
the
city,
scarborough,
let's
say
they
do
to
enhance
and
and
and
put
more
cricket
facilities
there
through.
J
J
Well,
I'm
suggesting
that
I
that
the
cricket
players
have
less
than
the
crop
than
the
soccer
players
right
now
there
are
more
soccer
fields
than
cricket
fields,
so
we
are
hearing
more
loudly
from
the
cricket
community
I'm
looking
to
councillor
Shan
around
the
need
for
for
additional
cricket
facilities.
So
we
agree
on
the
need
for
for
more
cricket
facilities.
J
J
Madam
Speaker
I
couldn't
say
specifically
we're
going
to
be
reporting
back
with
the
implementation
strategy.
It
all
depends
on
the
availability
of
land,
the
availability
of
partnerships
and
a
number
of
other
items,
but
I
can't
say
that
it's
a
priority
for
us
in
the
short
term,
rather
there
in
the
long
term,
a.
B
J
B
J
B
H
S
J
Madam
Speaker,
the
the
provision
levels
were
determined
through
a
number
of
different
factors.
We
looked
at
large
urban
cities
across
Ontario
and
across
Canada
to
see
what
their
provision
levels
were
to
make
some
comparisons
and
in
the
projections
that
we
have
around
the
next
20
years,
we
worked
with
City
Planning
around
the
population
projections
so
that
we
could
look
at
what's
needed
today
and
also
what
will
be
needed
over
a
20-year
period
and
did.
S
J
J
S
J
Through
the
speaker
as
an
example,
if
there's
an
area
of
the
city
with
a
number
of
private
fitness
facilities
scattered
throughout
you
know
a
an
area
of
the
city
and
and
there
would
be
a
determination
that
a
lot
of
that
service
has
been
provided
already
and
it
wouldn't,
there
would
be
a
duplication
if
the
city
were
to
provide
it
or
the
market
might
not
be
there
for
it.
In
other
instances
where
there
are
solely
public
provided
services,
the
the
review
was
done
solely
on
what
we
know.
J
S
We
have
a
proliferation
of
facilities
that
are
privately
owned,
privately
operated,
for-profit,
but
they're,
not
exactly
Universal
universally
accessible
from
from
a
vantage
point
of
regardless
of
where
your
your
income
is,
you
can
go
and
access
it
have
you
is
that
the
consideration
that
I'm
seeing
in
the
in
the
systems
approach
is
that
the
other,
the
quote-unquote
other
providers
than
other
services
that
are
available
as
you
determine
how
how
much
new
facility
is,
is
recommended
for
downtown
Toronto.
So.
J
Three,
madam
Speaker,
there's
there
isn't
an
exact
science
as
to
how
it
come
to
these
conclusions.
In
some
cases
you
have
to
look
at
the
geography
and
the
density
and
the
land
available
to
create
new
facilities.
In
some
cases,
we
can
look
at
existing
development
opportunities
and
whether
there's
an
opportunity
to
partner
with
those
development
opportunities.
In
other
cases,
we
can
look
to
the
complete
redevelopment
of
existing
facilities
and
making
them
larger
to
be
able
to,
you
know,
serve
a
larger.
J
B
Thank
you
very
much.
I
asked
a
similar
question
at
community,
but
just
so
that
it's
heard
by
all
counselors.
So
there
is
the
plan
and
then
there's
life
in
in
the
middle,
and
this
plan
does
not
prevent
occasions
when
there
are
say
a
cluster
of
new
developments
happening
or
there's
something.
Some
dynamic
change
is
happening
in
the
community
and
where
other
monies
or
other
opportunities
can
be
brought
to
the
table
and
partnerships
that
it
doesn't
prevent
the
department
from
saying.
Oh
there's
an
opportunity
that
we
need
to
exploit
here,
because
it
is
here.
J
B
For
example,
if
no
Eglinton
Connexus
eglee
Eglinton
is
happening,
crosstown
is
happening.
Development
developers
are
looking
on
Eglinton
if
a
whole
bunch
of
developments
happen,
say
I,
don't
know
Bathurst
and
Eglinton
layered
in
Eglinton
whatever
it
will
not
be
a
case
where,
where
we
said
oh
there's
an
opportunity
here
to
put
in
a
some
kind
of
facility
swimming
seniors.
Whatever
recreational
thing,
we
won't
have
your
colleague
to
your
left
to
your
right.
There,
Mike
Schreiner,
saying:
oh,
no,
it's
not
in
the
plan
forget
about
it.
He'll
say:
oh
there's
an
opportunity
here.
B
B
The
mechanism
just
to
be
clear,
so
everyone
knows
that
the
mechanism
would
be
if
there
is
a
cluster
happening
in
there
in
an
area,
is
to
ask
you,
the
city
planner,
to
work
with
the
recreation
to
say.
Okay,
is
this
that
opportunity
and
then
you're
part
of
a
kind
of
more
micro
conversation
on
what's
happening
in
that
area?
You
do
the
planning
process
so.
J
The
examples
I
would
use
of
when
that's
happened.
The
warden
hilltop
community
center
is
an
example
of
something
that
was
never
envisioned
in
our
2004
plan
but
came
to
fruition
through
a
development
opportunity.
Many
of
the
facilities
in
Regent
Park
were
not
identified
because
the
Regent
Park
redevelopment
had
not
been
identified.
When
that
plan
went
right.
J
G
H
G
J
G
J
G
J
Three
amount
of
speaker
they're.
The
reason
that
these
pools
are
not
used
as
much
as
city
pools
is
that
our
access
is
is
begins
at
6:00
p.m.
daily,
and
it's
only
after
6:00
p.m.
on
weekends
and
through
the
summer
months.
So
the
number
of
hours
that
we
have
accessible
to
these
pools
is
much
less
than
in
city
pools.
J
G
It's
been
said
that,
because
the
pools
are
located
inside
schools
and
are
not
their
indoor
pools,
they're,
not
they're,
not
seen
many
of
the
local
communities,
don't
even
know
that
they
have
the
potential
to
use
those
pools.
Four
lane
swim
or
recreational
swim.
They
can
certainly
Luke
look
through
the
fun
guide
and
see
programs
there
register
for
them
and
go.
But
when
it
comes
to
drop-in
many
people
don't
seem
to
even
know
that
there
could
be
a
pool
across
the
street
from
them.
G
J
Of
em
speaker,
we
do
advertise
as
you've
noted
in
the
fun
guide
when
all
those
opportunities
are
available.
We
did
work
with
the
TDS,
be
around
some
signage,
especially
external
signage,
so
that
the
public,
when
they
were
driving
by,
would
know
very
specifically
that
there
was
a
pool
inside
that
school,
because
I
would
agree
with
you
that
there
is
not
that
great
and
knowledge
around.
Those
pools
that
are
available.
J
G
350
is
for
I,
don't
correct
I,
don't
swim,
open,
open
swim
now.
Has
there
ever
been
a
discussion
regarding
a
welcome
policy
and
a
voucher
system
where
you
could
take
funds
from
welcome
policy
and
spend
it
at
an
accredited
private
facility?
Let's
say
it
for
a
tennis
lesson
or
or
some
kind
of
other
facility
we've.
J
B
I
just
wanted
to
rise
in
and
make
an
announcement
more
of
a
recognition.
I
have
I,
didn't
think.
I'd
have
the
opportunity
in
Barrett
to
embarrass
Mike
Shire,
but
I
do
so
Mike.
Is
there
Mike
Mike?
Is
there
he's
retiring
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
he
works
in
the
Parks
and
Rec
capital?
He
does
he's
in
charge
of
all
of
it.
So
what
I
would
like
to
say
he's
he's
an
example
of
one
of
the
finest
public
servants.
A
A
B
I'm,
going
back
to
school,
I
believe
anyways
life
here
at
the
city
has
been
phenomenal.
It
fulfills
a
lot
of
goals
that
I
set
for
myself
in
the
very
beginning,
as
a
young,
architect
and
I've
been
able
to
build
and
work
through.
It
and
I
have
to
also
thank
councillor
Jim
Hart,
who
hired
me
and
he's
probably
still
regretting
it
and
Janie
for
actually
dealing
with
me
on
a
lot
of
issues.
B
I
Thank
you.
Madam
Speaker
I
have
a
motion
that
I
like
to
move
that
City
Council
direct,
the
general
manager
of
Parks
Recreation
in
consultation
with
the
interim
chief
financial
officer
to
report
back
to
the
executive
committee
in
the
second
quarter,
2018
on
the
impacts
of
the
state
of
good
repair
of
existing
community
centers
that
have
reached
or
near
the
end
of
the
life
expectancy
30
years
or
older.
I
Such
a
report
to
include
a
comprehensive,
a
flexible
plan
that
allows
city
staff
to
enhance,
expand
or
replace
facilities
that
become
too
old
and
the
state
of
good
repair
is
no
longer
financially
sustainable.
Nor
practical
number,
two
City
Council
direct
that
if
an
aging
community
center
is
as
described
in
part
one
and
serves
a
neighborhood
improvement
area,
city
staff
will
conduct
an
assessment
based
on
improve
equity
impacts
that
include
social
demographic
factors
or
equities
seeking
groups
in
vulnerable
and
populations.
I
Madam
Speaker,
the
members
of
council
in
principle
I,
do
support
the
parks,
integration,
master
plan
and
its
long
term
vision,
even
though
their
plan
sounds
very
exciting
and
enticing.
It
is
important
for
members
of
council
to
keep
an
open
to
keep
your
eyes
wide
open
to
ensure
that
we
continue
protecting
the
public
interest
as
we
move
forward.
After
all,
this
plan
is
for
the
next
20
years.
I
The
purpose
of
my
motion
is
to
a
city
staff.
To
take
a
second
look
and
to
report
back
to
the
executive
committee
is
on
second
quarter
of
next
year,
all
facilities
that,
as
I
mentioned,
that
are
old
and
falling
in
a
state
of
disrepair
and
to
ensure
that
those
facilities,
wherever
they
are
in
the
city
they
had
non
left
behind,
because
the
master
plan
prioritizes
all
the
areas
and
that,
in
my
opinion,
that
would
be
wrong.
That
would
be
their
the
wrong
way
to
take.
I
Madam
Speaker
members
transform
the
quality
of
green
space
and
the
quality
of
recreation.
Recreational
amenities
throughout
the
city
is
very
important
to
our
constituents,
regardless
where
they
are
mainly
in
areas
that
have
been
designated
by
City
Council
as
areas
of
neighborhood
improvement
areas
in
areas
where
there
is
tremendous
population
growth
or
in
areas
that
are
parkland
efficient,
as
were
seventeen
Davenport,
that's
the
most
parkland
efficient
and
she
was
John.
I
The
jjp
chain
in
community
center
was
built
in
the
late
70s,
the
building's
aging
and
the
center
needs
quite
a
bit
of
lot
on.
The
ghetto
in
is
a
little
bit
of
repairs
there
and
the
plan
is
calling
to
prioritize
during
the
next
20
years,
recreational
centers
in
areas
that
when
we
had
gaps
in
all
of
that's
great,
that's
fantastic.
I
We
had
the
money
I
think
we
can
do
everything
that
we
need
to
do,
but
unfortunately,
this
community
center
is
nowhere
in
the
radar,
in
spite
of
the
dozens
and
how
much
I
have
tried
to
make
sure
that
we
look
into
it.
This
is
a
jewel
for
the
community
and
during
the
last
20
years
there
hasn't
been
any
major
and
any
major
repairs
done
to
the
refurbishing
on
the
building.
So
there
is
a
need
to
look
closely
to
add
in
the
purpose
of
the
motion.
I
A
A
I
H
I
Speaking
for
City
Council
now
and
I'm
sorry
is
a
custom.
Mcmahon
I
know
you
are
the
chair.
At
this
point,
I'm
standing
for
my
community
I
have
a
spoken
city.
Staff
I
did
speak
at
the
executive
committee
as
well,
and
unfortunately,
the
motion
didn't
pass
on
a
tie
so
today
I'm
speaking,
City
Council
and
that's
the
purpose
of
my
motion.
Thank.
O
I
The
purpose
of
for
clarification
purpose,
the
purpose
of
recommendation
number
one.
What
I'm
asking
cities
tab
as
you
can
see,
is
that
any
in
buildings,
any
existing
infrastructures
that
we
have
that
have
been
built,
35
or
4
years
old,
yeah
to
be
for
them
just
to
take
a
second
look
at
it
and
to
come
back
with
some
sort
of
report
in
terms
of
implementing
that
and
for
those
properties
over
those
facilities
not
fall
behind
in
terms
of
the
state
of
would
return.
That's
the
real
purpose
of
it.
Okay,.
O
I
hate
to
belabor
this,
but
that
I
did
glean
that
I
was
able
to
glean
that
from
reading
the
report
this
weekend,
there
is
in
the
second
attachment
a
list
of
those
centers
that
exist
that
are
in
no
particular
order
to
keep
it
fair
and
not
to
generate
a
case
of
me
to
itís.
There
are
a
list
of
those
centers
that
they
have
already
audited
and
and
said.
These
are
a
priority,
but
in
no
particular
order,
and
these
will
need
attention
in
the
course
of
this
long-term
plan.
O
I
I
guess
I
do
have
a
real
sense
of
what's
happening
with
that
community
center
as
a
local
City
Council
talking
to
residents
that's
a
jewel
in
that
community
and
when
you
have
a
recreational
center
that
where
the
swimming
pool
outside
has
been
closed
a
number
of
times
because
of
the
lack
of
all
repair.
When
you
have
a
community
center
that
every
year
has
to
be
closed
down
every
one
month
per
year,
so
I
have
a
real
understanding
of
what
the
needs
are
and
that's
why
I'm
asking
city
staff
it
is
am
asking
the
question
directly.
N
I
You
for
the
question
when
babies
are
the
executive
committee.
I
was
specific
in
that
he
put
the
JJ
Piccini
community
center.
That's
in
my
area,
but
in
terms
of
fairness,
because
we
have
all
the
community
centers
across
the
city,
I
thought
that
it
would
be
wiser
infer
to
be
more
generic,
so
it
applies
to
everyone.
Any
community
center
across
the
city
is
not
Ana
specific
one
is
not
mine,
it
can
be
anyone
across
the
city.
So.
N
There
is
a
whole
state
of
good
repair
audit
that
has
been
conducted
on
all
facilities
and
a
capital
plan,
and
this
plan
says
to
address
the
state
of
good
repair.
We
have
to
add
more
money,
15
some
odd
million
dollars
annually
to
address
state
of
good
repair,
and
it
says
we
need
to
put
new
facilities
in
play
or
we
have
new
facade
facilities
in
places
that
don't
have
access
to
the
facilities.
That
is
exactly
what
it's
been
done
over
the
many
years
it
took
to
do
this
so
I
don't
understand.
I
I
I
N
N
My
final
questions:
why
would
we
not
just
follow
the
state
of
good
repair
audits
that
have
been
done
if
we
need
to
address
the
state
of
good
repair
more
aggressively?
As
the
general
manager
said,
we
would
have
put
more
money
into
the
plan,
so
why
would
you
not
just
say
we
will
put
more
money
into
the
plan
to
address
more
state
of
good
repair
more
quickly
when.
I
A
M
I
find
is
far-reaching
and
very
detailed
in
nature,
it's
inclusive
and
on
paper
it
looks
great,
of
course,
in
reality,
if
we
don't
back
it
up
with
serious
financial
resources,
it's
going
nowhere
and,
in
reality,
there's
a
disparity
in
the
city
I'm,
going
to
try
to
address
in
two
ways
the
reason
that
this
disparity
arose.
One
is,
as
you
well
know,
speaker,
section
37
and
the
other
appropriate
sections
of
the
Planning
Act
only
kick
in
when
you
have
developers
interested
in
your
community
and
so
in
his
in
communities.
M
Historically,
that
have
been
neglected
by
development,
and
you
know
nothing
virtually
happened
and
downs
you
for
a
30-year
period,
and
that
is
because
of
the
Toronto
real
estate
market
and
of
things
being
centered
downtown
and
a
lot
of
historical
factors
and
a
lot
of
economic
factors
and
that
didn't
burn
an
shal
community.
The
development
community
from
coming
out
into
areas
like
Mount,
Denis
and
and
Weston
and
downs
you,
but
now,
all
of
a
sudden,
it's
happening.
M
So
we
have
a
legacy
throughout
the
city
of
call
them
ni,
A's,
neighborhood,
improvement
areas
that
don't
have
up-to-date
community
centers
or
that
in
your
case,
you
have
struggled
about
a
quarter
of
a
century
to
get
a
community
center
soin
downs,
you
what
we
have
are
inefficient
outdoor
pools
and
no
neighborhood
indoor
facility
in
which
to
swim.
Our
seniors
are
crying
out
for
Aquafit
programs
and
can't
get
into
the
new
community
center
in
York,
because
Eglinton,
because
it's
of
course
gratis
and
the
lineups
are
very
long.
M
We
need
a
facility
and
because
of
the
bungled
state
due
to
the
federal
government
initiatives,
the
bungled
state
of
downs
you
park,
where
they're
trying
to
sell
off
from
3
to
6
from
300
to
600
acres
of
public
parkland
and
turn
it
into
apartment.
Central.
What
we
have
is
a
bank
of
section
37
money,
which
is
a
little
more
than
a
million
dollars
right
now,
that
is
supposed
to
grow
into
50
million
real
soon
I,
don't
believe,
we'll
have
it
for
25
years,
yet
perhaps
30,
and
that
will
be
our
new.
M
The
source
of
our
new
communities
enter
an
indoor
pool.
Well,
I.
Don't
think
that
this
community
should
be
waiting
that
long
in
the
meantime,
doesn't
it
make
sense
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
money
comparatively
and
enclose
one
of
the
pools?
That's
there
now
and
I
know,
that's
not
a
great
option,
but
it's
an
option
for
the
next
25
years
to
give
these
people
a
place
in
the
Toronto
infrastructure
that
they
can
use.
M
The
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
the
next
step
in
the
fire
sale
that
the
federal
government
intends
for
down
gillen's
is
to
sell
off
William
Baker
Park.
Those
of
you
who
know
Shepherd
and
Keele
will
know
that
William
Baker
Park
is
a
pristine,
green
space
with
beautiful
bike
paths
and
pedestrian
paths.
M
Doesn't
it
make
sense
that
the
city
take
a
look
at
taking
ownership
of
this
place
in
order
for
it
to
place
a
future
recreational
facility?
That
is
something
that
is
tantamount
to
common
sense,
but
the
federal
government
doesn't
listen.
So
we
I
will
be
proposing
a
motion
in
probably
the
next
council
meeting
or
the
one
after
that
about
William
Baker
Park.
M
H
H
H
You
you
were,
and
still
are,
a
real
gem
for
the
division.
Mike
I
really
appreciated
working
with
you
during
my
tender.
I
have
not
had
the
opportunity
to
review
the
parks
and
recreation
facilities,
management,
master
plan
report
in
detail,
nor
do
I
wish
to
delay
a
process
that
has
been
underway
for
some
time.
I
have
asked
the
DCM
to
arrange
a
departmental
briefing
of
the
substance
of
and
the
process
for,
the
development
of
the
master
plan.
H
Q
Well,
thank
you,
madam
Speaker,
and
and
I
too
will
try
and
be
brief.
I,
don't
know
if
I'll
be
under
a
minute,
but
I'll
definitely
do
my
best
I
I,
also
to
want
to
echo
our
thanks
to
Mike
Schreiner
in
PFN
are
actually
our
part
staff,
including
Mike,
was
my
first
meeting
when
I
arrived
at
City
Hall
as
a
new
counselor
to
discuss
this
very
plan
that
is
in
front
of
us.
Q
What,
when
I,
do
find
a
low
troubling
being
the
representative
for
North
Potomac,
oh,
is
that
it
was
on
the
books
back
in
a
2004
council
crew
clan
to
be
investing
in
I,
know,
North,
Etobicoke,
well,
north
Rexville,
Scarborough
and
Central
Otago,
and
that
still
hasn't
been
done.
My
ass
to
staff
is
that
we
continue
to
look
at
Northern,
Rock
sale
to
invest
in
there.
I
I
think
we
all
know
not
I
know.
Q
Not
this
council
me
in
which
it
is
urgent,
which
I
be
moving
after
lunch
and
an
ask
for
your
support,
but
I
won't
speak
specifically
to
that,
but
I
think
collectively.
I
think
this
is
where
we
need
to
be
investing
in
our
community,
centers
or
community
hubs,
because
they
do
connect
communities,
they
do
build
communities
and
not
is
an
excellent
foundation
to
move
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
S
P
You,
madam
Speaker,
as
I,
was
alluding
to
earlier
the
northeast
corner
of
the
city.
Morningside
Heights
neighborhood
wasn't
built
until
2000.
Actually,
the
people
moved
in
in
2003,
so
we
still
use
our
neighborhood
index
based
on
neighborhoods
that
were
created
before
that
I
hear
it
was
those
index
those
neighborhood
identifications
were
developed
in
the
90s,
so
2003
onwards.
This
community
has
close
to
15,000
people
living
in
that
area.
Three
elementary
schools
with
heavy
enrollment
in
that
area,
with
zero
city
facilities
in
in
the
in
the
m1x
postal
code,
entire
postal
code.
P
So
it
is,
it
is
very
important
for
me
to
identify
that
need
and
I
will
be
working
with
the
city
staff
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
really
kind
of
get
this
neighborhood
on
the
map?
Because
the
city
signs
are
there
that
says
and
identifies?
This?
Is
the
neighborhood
the
community
feels
connected
through
that
neighborhood,
but
we
haven't
even
gotten
it
on
the
map
of
social
in
urban
planning
within
within
our
city
in
an
appropriate
way,
but
I
do
support
this
report
and
I'm
glad
that
mornings,
Morningside
and
Sheppard.
We
have
a
new
community
center.
P
It
also
leaves
an
option
open
to
have
partnership,
not
not
private
partnerships
per
se,
but
partnership
with
not-for-profit
sector
partnerships
with
school
boards,
partnership
with
the
other
levels
of
government
to
figure
out
how
we
can
meet
some
of
the
recreational
needs,
if
not
the
full-fledged
gym
needs,
but
also
needs.
Where
you
know,
people
can
have
a
recreational
indoor
game.
P
And
then
you
know
five,
ten
years
down
the
road
we'll
come
back
and
blame
everything
as
youth
issues
having
not
provided
teenagers
and
young
people
positive
environment
to
interact
in
we
have
our
parks
are
filled
with
seniors
during
summer.
We
have
tangled
fabulous
parks
in
in
our
in
our
neighborhood,
but
during
the
winter
months
for
most
of
those
6-7
months,
they
are
inside
home
isolated.
So
this
is
a
heavy.
P
This
is
a
high
priority
problem
for
our
neighborhood
and
I.
Want
that
to
be
addressed
in
some
form
or
the
other
and
I'll
be
working
with
the
staff
to
continue
to
do
that
through
either
partnerships
or
or
developing
a
model
of
service
delivery,
where
we
can
actually
utilize
the
schools
that
exist
in
that
area
to
do
some
more
activities
in
their
area.
P
I
also
want
to
comment
and
congratulate
and
thank
the
team
to
kind
of
put
the
emphasis
on
cricket
well,
for
the
first
time
in
a
very
substantial
way,
this
is
a
growing
sport,
a
sport
of
the
new
comers.
You
know
we
say
we
welcome
newcomers,
we
welcome
diversity.
We
have
to
change
everything
we
do
in
terms
of
places
of
worship
in
terms
of
places
for
playing
in
terms
of
places
to
do
business,
and
it's
it's.
P
It's
very
heartening
to
see
the
emphasis
and
the
kind
of
calculations
made,
and
you
know
there
could
be
multiple
or
a
variety
of
ways.
Cricket
could
be
accommodated.
In
fact,
you
know
professionals
who
want
to
play
in
a
bigger
field,
but
some
kids
want
to
play
anywhere.
They
are
playing
on
the
streets
right
now,
so
if
we
can
make
adjustments
to
make
sure
that
the
availability
is
there
for
kids
to
play,
whether
it
in
through
soccer
and
baseball
places
being
multifaceted
and
and
permitted
outing.
P
Accordingly,
there
are
many
people
who
would
play
with
a
practice
net,
just
a
small
net
where
you
know
you
can
actually
practice
and
that's
a
very
confined
area.
So
geography
doesn't
become
a
confining.
The
amount
of
space
doesn't
becoming
a
confining
factor.
In
fact,
if
you
look
at
the
cricket
team,
national
cricket
team,
it's
the
one
of
the
most
diverse
cricket
team
in
navin
fact
reflect
the
diversity
of
Canada
through
a
national
team.
You
can't
say
that
about
any
other
national
teams
for
Canada.
P
If
you
take
the
cricket
team,
you
will
see
the
diversity
of
all
continents
being
represented
there.
So
I'm
glad
that
focuses
there,
I'm
glad
that
we
are
moving
towards
accommodating
this
growing
sport
and
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
working
with
the
city,
I
was
going
to
move
a
motion
to
ask
for
a
cricket
strategy,
but
I'm
told
that
implementation
will
have
a
substantial
details
on
this.
So
I
will
resist
moving
a
motion.
P
A
G
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
be
very
quick
because
I
know
there's
a
long
day
ahead
of
us,
but
I
did
want
to
publicly
thank
our
staff
for
working
on
a
remarkable
document.
That
is
certainly
a
terrific
roadmap
for
the
next
20
years
in
Parks
and
Recreation,
and
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
that
we
will
keep
our
eye
on
as
the
years
go
ahead.
To
make
sure
that
we
have.
G
G
I
was
just
down
at
a
18
million
dollar
Aquatic
Center
in
Ward,
28
and
I,
see
they're
also
on
the
schedule
to
get
to
two
new
indoor
pools
in
that
same
Ward,
I'm,
not
sure
whether
we
should
take
a
second
look
at
that
or
not,
but
it
certainly
raised
eyebrows
when,
when
I
see
it,
so
we
want
fairness
across
the
city.
We
want
equity.
We
want
those
neighborhoods
that
have
not
gotten
their
fair
share
to
get
their
fair
share
and,
and
that's
something
that
is
the
chair
of
community
development
of
recreation.
G
I,
certainly
keep
my
eye
on
as
we
go
forward.
We
must
be
able
to
unleash
the
value
of
our
section
42
and
our
section
37
funds
to
make
sure
that
the
projects
we
have
coming
can
be
properly
funded
from
the
from
the
agreements
that
come
out
of
those
funds.
And,
of
course
we
have
the
development
funds
as
well
on
top
of
that
debt,
if
necessary,
but
not
necessarily
debt,
would
be
my
approach
to
that.
G
No,
no
I,
just
like
to
echo
the
good
wishes
to
Mike
Schreiner
whoo-hoo
in
the
seven
years
I've
been
here,
has
been
a
remarkable
support
to
help
me
get
things
done
in
in
Ward
10
to
enhance
existing
facilities
to
to
vision
for
future
and
new
facilities
and
he's
him
and
his
team.
Joe
Ferrara
and
Mary
OPEC
you've
done
remarkable
work
and
have
transformed
Ward
10
over
the
years.
So
I
wanted
to
wish
you
very
well
in
your
retirement
and
you
will
be
missed
and
congratulations
on
the
great
work
you've
done
to
the
City
of
Toronto.
A
S
Yes,
of
course,
thank
you
very
much,
madam
Speaker,
and
thank
you
for
to
the
clerk's
who
have
put
the
motion
onto
the
screen.
I
would
request
that
the
general
manager
of
PFR
consult
with
the
ward
councillors
to
further
study
population
growth
in
downtown
Toronto
and
to
reevaluate
the
system's
approach
to
area
specific
facilities
and
service
levels
and
report
back
to
the
executive
committee.
S
At
the
same
time,
they
report
back
with
the
other
components
in
the
second
quarter
of
2018,
and
this
largely
is
building
on
top
of
what
counselor
troi
EC
has
just
mentioned
in
her
remarks
about
needing
some
time
to
actually
work
with
staff.
So
she
can
provide
her
input.
I
just
want
to
say,
madam
Speaker,
as
that,
as
as
the
word
counselor
and
in
27
I
was
not
part
of
the
consultation
and
and
I
for
whatever
reason
we
were
missing.
S
That's
that's
not
that's
neither
here
or
there,
but
I
would
like
the
opportunity
to
sit
down
with
the
the
general
manager
of
parks,
forestry
recreation,
to
provide
her
some
of
my
insights
and
councillor.
Krusty
is
not
here
and
I've
been
trying
to
get
a
hold
of
him
to
find
out
if
he's
had
conversations,
but
nevertheless
between
war
twenty-eight
of
war.
Twenty-Seven
I
think
that
we
would
like
to
have
one
additional
layer
of
input.
S
Madam
Speaker,
this
is
a
good
report
and
I
think
that
developing
a
master
plan
to
set
the
agenda
and
to
develop
the
service
levels,
including
facilities
requirement
for
the
entire
city,
is
very,
very
good,
and
this
is
exactly
the
type
of
work
that
we
should
be
doing
strategic,
broad
visioning.
We
need
to
decide
how
we
want
to
grow
and
build
our
city
for
the
for
the
service
levels.
That
residents
in
Toronto
are
looking
for
and
require
I
just
would
be.
S
S
As
of
now,
we
are
we
produce
about
half
of
million
jobs
by
2040,
one
that
employment
center
and
zone
is
going
to
grow
over
of
nine
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
jobs
and
in
2016
our
projected
census
numbers
we're
sitting
about
two
hundred
and
thirty-eight
thousand
for
those
three
wars
by
two
by
2041.
Those
three
wards
is
going
to
be
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand.
So
it's
no
mistake
that
downtown
Toronto
is
growing
exponentially.
S
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
are
living
downtown
have
the
service
and
the
facilities
that
they
need,
but
also
the
people
who
work,
downtown
and
travel
downtown,
including
the
students,
including
people
who
are
coming
in
from
the
far
reaches
of
our
city.
Boundaries
are
going
to
be
able
to
use
the
same
Dame
same
downtown
facilities
when
they're
spending
most
of
their
day.
Here
over
7500
new
residents
will
be
moving
into
downtown
every
single
year.
S
Our
chair
of
CDR
just
mentioned
that
perhaps
there
needs
to
be
a
revisiting
of
the
swimming
pools
that
are
that
are
coming
into
war,
twenty-eight
one
in
the
East
Bay
front,
which
is
a
brand-new
master,
planned
community
with
extraordinary
population
density
and
the
second
one
is
actually
to
be
split.
One
community
center,
pattach,
potentially
one
new
swimming
pool
for
three
downtown
Ward's.
These
three
downtown
words
will
be
six
Ward's
very
soon
and
in
the
report
the
three
downtown
wards
there
is
a
proposal
to
build
one
new
community
center.
S
Now,
if
you
heard
my
remarks,
if
in
the
population
growth,
there
is
something
a
little
bit
missus
skewed
based
on
those
calculations,
I
think
that
were
28
should
get
those
community
centers
be
in
one
community
center,
at
least
an
East
Bay
front,
because
they
need
it,
which
is
facilitated
by
development
and
growth.
War.
20
should
certainly
get
the
one.
S
That
is
that
there
that
they
will
be
requiring,
which
is
one
sitting
and
canoe
landing
and
I'm
sure
councillor
Krusty,
would
say
the
same
thing
if
he
was
here
to
speak
for
his
community,
but
word
27
has
one
community
center.
That
is
ailing
and
failing,
and
it
will
be
rebuilt.
But
let
me
tell
you
how
it's
gonna
be
rebuilt.
It's
a
hundred
million
dollar
facility,
one
third
of
those
dollars.
333
million
dollars,
is
coming
from
a
private
donor
that
private
donor
plus
the
community
has
pledged
to
raise
another
33
million
dollars.
A
F
S
F
F
S
A
S
So
speaking,
speaking
to
the
service
level
needs
in
were
27,
we
have
one
community,
and
many
of
you
may
know
it.
It's
called
the
John
in
this
community
center.
It
is
an
aging
it's
an
aging
facility,
but
I
want
I.
Think,
what's
important
to
note
is
that
the
money
coming
in
to
refurbish
and
rebuild
John
in
this
community
center
is
actually
not
City
derivative.
This
is
a
project
that's
being
driven
from
the
philanthropist
community
and
it's
going
to
be
driven
from
the
local
community,
so
over
sixty
six
million
dollars
is
coming
from
a
different
source.
S
The
balance
of
the
money,
which
is
thirty,
three
million
dollars,
is
most
likely
going
to
come
from
three
orders
of
government
and
I
have
been
asked
by
city
staff,
whether
or
not
the
one-third
can
come
locally
from
section
42
and
per
Section
$37,
which
means
that
you're
getting
a
hundred
million
dollar
asset
for
the
city,
and
really
it's
not
it's
not
coming
on
the
city
coffers.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
N
S
Councilor
Davis
in
these
staff
recommendations
they
had
outlined
how
they
had
come
up
with
the
evaluation
process
to
determine
the
facilities
at
the
facility
requirements,
and
so
they
had
called
that
the
system's
approach,
one
of
it,
was
based
on
sort
of
that
the
normal
ways
of
evaluating
in
terms
of
growth
and
projections,
the
other
way
they
another
layer
was
looking
at
other
providers
and
under
questioning
when
I
asked
him
of
pfr.
What
are
those
other
providers
has
that
include
private
for-profit,
gyms
or
perhaps
community
hubs?
S
O
Yes,
I
am
wondering
if,
if
the
counselor
could
clarify
for
me,
if,
if
John
Ennis
is
being
built
with
other
sources
of
funds,
because
you
are
in
a
growth
area
and
have
growth
money,
what
is
wrong
with
plugging
the
holes
with
growth
money
in
the
growth
areas
and
using
the
tax
dollars
to
plug
the
holes
in
the
non
growth
areas?
If
you
clarify
that
for
me,
then
I
would
understand
what's
wrong
with
the
system
based
approach
in
this
report.
The.
S
Systems
based
approach
is
is,
is
using
criterias
such
as
not
as
sorry
other
entities
such
as
nonprofit
agencies,
private
businesses,
institutions
unassuming
schools
and
they
use
them
as
as
somehow
to
offset
that
the
service
level
deficits,
except
for
the
universal
access
to
those
for
private
and
third
party
entities,
are
not
always
going
to
be
universally
accessible
to
the
local
residents,
not
to
mention
the
fact
that
the
population
growth
is
just
absolutely
extraordinary.
So.
O
S
G
Thank
you
through
you
to
the
mover,
just
for
clarity's
sake.
Under
the
Planning
Act,
there
are
provisions
built-in,
as
we've
referred
to
many
times,
section
37
section
42,
to
accommodate
a
population
growth
I'm
wondering
what
what
the
purpose
of
this
motion
is.
When
you
already
have
development
agreements
and
funds
to
help
enhance
facilities
in
your
area,
I.
S
Would
answer
your
question
in
two
parts
councillor?
First
of
all,
with
respect
to
development
charges,
they
go
general.
They
go
into
the
general
coffers.
We
never
are
able
to
track
how
much
is
actually
reinvested
in
the
local
community.
That's
barring
the
growth.
So
that's
number
one
number
two
is
that
section:
$37
is
rather
limited.
It
costs
about
a
thousand
to
$1200
per
square
foot
to
build
a
new
community
facility
these
days
and,
of
course,
it's
very,
very
expensive
to
operate
and
section
$37
does
not
cover
any
of
those
operating
dollars.
S
So
I
think
it's
rather
important
to
note
just
by
way
of
example,
just
to
highlight
for
everybody
that
it
could.
It
took
councillor
makan
McConnell
over
10
years
to
build
a
Wellesley
community
center,
and
now
it's
taking
an
extra
number
of
years
to
build
a
community
pool
and
for
27
the
adjacent
Ward
on
my
ward
had
to
take
in
about
8
million
dollars
to
give
her
a
hand
to
get
her
over
the
bump.
It
has
literally
taken
that
long
to
build.
G
It's
understood
that
a
20
million
dollar
facility-
it's
not
going
to
be
done
overnight,
but
if
you,
if
you
feel
that
that
the
tools
of
the
Planning
Act
to
accommodate
growth
in
your
area
are
not
adequate,
then
maybe
you
should
be
looking
at
provincial
legislation
and
and
your
agreements
rather
than
rather
than
feeling
that
density
is
not
being
accommodated.
Japan.
O
O
D
D
Okay,
thank
you.
My
other
question
is:
if
the.
If
we
were
to
reevaluate
the
systems
approach,
essentially
you
could
be
blowing
up
the
whole
I'll
say
methodology
in
coming
up
with
this
facility's
master
plan.
The
outcome
of
this
could
actually
be
a
whole
new
facilities,
master
plan.
It
might
infer
incorrectly
that.
S
Would
certainly
be
an
unintended
consequence.
The
only
thing
I
wanted
us
to
do
was
consider
that
downtown
Toronto
has
a
very
different
land
use.
For
example,
we
are
seeing
not
just
the
population
growth
which
I
don't
think,
is
refutable,
but
rather
that
the
staff
have
considered
other
providers,
perhaps
with
far
more
weight
in
downtown
Toronto,
because
we
have
a
number
of
private,
gyms
and
and
and
perhaps
they're
building
some
of
these
facilities
inside
condominium
buildings,
but
with
19
TCC
buildings
in
war,
27
alone,
I
can
tell
you
there
isn't
a
gym
in
those
19
facilities.
D
D
S
S
Certainly
hoping
not
to
blow
anything
up,
that's
not
my
intention.
The
only
thing
I
wanted
to
do
was
highlight
the
fact
that
perhaps
what
they
needed
to
do
stuff
is
to
just
take
another
look
in
the
downtown
environment
and
not
assume
that
we're
able
to
sort
of
take
care
of
our
own
a
membership
to
the
YWCA,
which
is
the
central
downtown.
Why
is
not
affordable
for
low-income
working
families
in
downtown,
Toronto
and
I?
Think
that.
R
Councillor
Carroll's
questions
inspired
me
to
stand
up.
I.
Guess
your
I,
like
you,
you
represent.
You
have
some
neighborhoods
that
probably
don't
use
public
facilities,
they
would
maybe
use
venues
like
the
granite
club
or
the
Cricket
Club.
Is
that
it's
at
the
top
part
of
your
ward?
Would
that
be
true?
Yes,.
S
R
S
And
may
it
may
surprise
you,
but
if
I
go
into
my
northern
northern
half
of
my
ward,
which
is
generally
seen
as
the
as
the
more
affluent
parts,
even
those
communities
have
pockets
of
poverty,
and
even
those
communities
have
TCH
see
buildings
in
the
in
Yorkville
in
in
in
and
co-ops
and
in
in
those
areas,
and
those
residents
have
said
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
community
center
I'm.
Not
saying
put
one
directly
in
that
neighborhood.
What
I'm
saying
is
that
the
staff
recommendation
of
one
new
community
center
for
a.
H
R
Recommending
that
we
now
share
section
37
money
across
the
city,
because
just
that's
what
I'm
understanding
is
that
there's
high
growth
areas
and
they
and
they
have
the
luxury
of
section,
37,
money
and
42
and
etc.
Whereas
there's
a
lot
of
councilors
in
this
room
that
have
zero
dollars
in
the
bank,
yeah
and.
O
S
Counselor
I'm
not
I,
mean
to
change
the
Planning.
Act
would
be
something
that
will
be
beyond
the
scope
of
this.
Of
this
response,
I
can
say
that
any
any
growth
in
any
parts
of
than
any
part
of
the
area
in
the
city.
There
are
some
monies
that
go
into
general
coffers,
such
as
section
42,
which
you
get
a
portion
of
whether
or
not
you
get
you
bear
a
hundred,
a
hundred
storey
tower
or
not,
as
well
as
development
charges.
That
goes
out.
C
You,
madam
Speaker
I,
want
to
thank
councilor
long
time
for
putting
the
motion
forward
and
I'm
reading
it
and
it
says
ward
councillors
to
father
study
the
population
growth
in
downtown
Toronto,
and
you
know
I'm
sort
of
taken
back
at
that
and
I'm
gonna
share
some
numbers
with
you.
So
you
see
where
my
question
goes.
In
my
ward,
I'm
getting
19
towers
in
councillor,
Kelly
Ward
he's
getting
another
20
towers
now
and
north
of
our
places.
This
is
Markham
and
Surya
and
Markham
Kennedy
and
Steel's,
and
his
people
have
coming
down.
There's
another
4,000
people.
C
S
Councillor
I
I
record
I
reference
downtown
because,
as
as
as
growth
heavy
as
that
may
appear,
it's
still
not
where
the
Quantum's
are
that
we're
seeing
with
respect
to
the
population
growth.
Those
three
wards,
20,
27
and
28-
will
have
over
four
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
residents
in
in
a
few
short
years,
and
not
to
mention
the
fact
that
your
community,
your
residents,
will
be
working
in
downtown
oftentimes
using
downtown
facilities.
C
Second
highest,
this
is
carburation
quarter.
Second,
highest
growth
area,
we're
looking
at
forty
towers
within
the
next
couple
of
years.
We're
tired,
looking
at
towers
that
are
40,
35
and
40
stories,
so
we're
downtown
I
mean
this.
You
know
to
my
residents,
might
have
a
negative
connotation,
we're
pitting
downtown
against
Cairo
and
I.
Don't
think
the
amalgamated
City
wants
to
do
this,
so
I'm,
just
wondering
if
this
is
I
mean
it's
something
like
this
really.
S
S
A
A
A
E
E
Just
to
give
you
an
example:
Franklin
school
was
a
built
as
a
actual
school
community
center,
a
joint
school
community
center
with
the
pool
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
TDSB
and
the
community
center
that
was
adjunctive
to
it
under
the
jurisdiction
of
the
city,
and
it's
called
Franklin
Community
School,
because
it
is
not
just
a
TDSB
facility.
It's
a
joint
facility
that
pool
is
unable
to
receive
section
37
any
cash
in
lieu
that
may
be
available
to
upgrade
that
pool
facility.
E
So,
however,
many
years
later,
from
the
70s
to
now,
40
years
later,
we
actually
have
these
aging
facilities
that
our
legacy
cities
built
that
we
can't
get
in
to
upgrade.
Meanwhile,
we
are
running
a
full
spate
of
programs
out
of
them
in
the
East
End
I
can
just
tell
you
that
there's
Franklin
Community
Center,
a
counselor
Davis,
has
talked
many
times
about
Earl
Beatty
and
that
pool
that
was
built
by
the
city
and
we
run
a
community
center
out
of
there
SH
Armstrong,
which
was
discussed
here
many
times.
E
Actually,
the
city
built
of
physical
communities
attached
to
the
school
with
a
gymnasium,
that's
ours
and
the
pool
which
we
assumed
we
would
be
using,
which
we
can't
upgrade
in
any
way.
Even
though
it's
with
the
TDS
be
myself,
I
was
very
involved
in
building
the
Fairmount
community
center,
where
we
attached
community
center
on
to
the
school
the
understanding
we
would
be
using
that
pool.
However,
the
physical
state
of
some
of
these
pools,
the
showers
other
things,
are
really
from
many
many
decades
ago
and
need
to
be
upgraded.
E
So
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
ask
the
general
manager
to
have
this
conversation
with
all
the
appropriate
people
to
look
at
how
we
could
use
those
funds
to
upgrade
these
significant
assets,
which
we
happen
to
have
built
to
start
with
and
to
secure
them
for
the
city.
Should
something
happen
to
that
school?
E
So
if
we
find
that
somewhere
along
the
line
that
school
is
going
to
be
closed
or
sold
that
that
investment
would
have
to
come
back
to
the
city,
we
already
do
that
on
playgrounds
at
schools,
where
we
might
make
a
small
contribution
to
the
upgrade
of
a
children's
playground
at
school,
at
Toronto,
District,
Catholic,
school
or
Toronto
school
board,
and
then
we
secure
in
that
the
requirement
that,
should
they
leave
that
site,
should
they
sell
that
site.
Those
dollars
are
coming
back
to
the
city,
so
our
investment
is
always
protected.
It
can
be
protected.
E
What
isn't
protected
are
our
programs
because
those
school
pools
which
are
heavily
used
and
where
many
people
learn
to
swim
cannot
be
refurbished
and,
as
we
know,
and
councillor
Layton
moved
the
motion
about
development
charges.
The
TDSB
is
so
hamstrung
around
facility
agreements
because
of
what
the
Harris
government
did
to
school
funding
where
they
said
that
pool
that
hallway
that
lunchroom
they
don't
count
because
they're
not
instructional
space
and
we're
terribly
underfunded
for
many
years.
So
the
school
funding
formula
remains
broken
to
this
day.
E
Our
programs
are
run
out
of
many
many
school
pools,
many
of
which
the
city
built,
and
we
have
no
way
to
upgrade
those
facilities
because
we're
afraid
we'll
lose
our
money.
Well,
a
good
lawyer
on
both
sides
can
make
sure
we
don't
lose
our
money
that
that
investment
can
come
back
to
the
people
of
Toronto.
E
Once
we
would
make
that
section.
37
Community
Benefit
available
for
refurbishment
of
school
pools
and
if
we
don't
do
that,
well
won't
have
a
swimming
program
because
at
a
certain
point
the
little
old
hand
dryers
are
going
to
run
out
that
the
showers
which
are
not
used
anymore.
The
washrooms
Thank
You
councillor
didn't.
B
Report
talks
to
us
a
little
bit
about
the
appropriateness
of
facilities
going
forward
about
the
design
the
configuration.
Do
you
believe
that
the
school
pools
are
a
superior
facility
than
that
of
say
a
new
pool
or
a
new
larger
community
center,
with
the
right
accessibility
features
on
to
it.
The
right
size,
the
right
shape?
Is
that
the
better
investment
or
is
the
better
investment
to
invest
in
a
new
facility
that
meets
the
demands
of
2017?
Not
the
60s.
E
Not
the
60s
well,
first
of
all,
I
think
by
the
time
there
was
any
new
schools
that
would
be
thought
of
being
built
in
some
of
the
areas
where
we
have
these
school
pools.
That
would
be
a
long
time.
As
we
know
there
are
areas
of
the
city
which
don't
have
enough
facilities
which
don't
have
enough
recreation
facilities
and
I.
Just
remember.
Councillor
DiGiorgio
talked
earlier
about
the
community
center
that
councillor
Nunzio
de
started.
E
Actually
when
she
was
mayor,
I
think
it's
called
the
Black
Creek
is
the
black
Creek
or
York
York
York
communities,
York
Community
Center,
that
has
a
fantastic
new
pool.
That's
a
great
facility
that
took
20
years
to
build,
and
that
was
because
York
was
an
under
serviced
area.
There
are
so
many
underserviced
areas
in
this
city,
neighborhood
improvement
areas
that
would
be
first
on
the
list
councillor
for
a
new
facility
and
well
deserve
it,
because
they've
not
had
access
in
that
way.
So
I,
your
idea
might
be
great,
but
I
think
it's
not
practical.
E
B
E
Think
this
broadening
that
we
use
is
for
the
operations
as
I
stated
earlier.
The
harris
government,
when
it
was
first
elected
through
a
nuclear
bomb
into
the
school
system,
called
the
funding
formula
where
school
pools
were
removed
from
any
funding
of
any
kind.
Yet
they
had
been
funded
by
this
legacy
school
boards
and
from
that
day
forward,
there
were
orphans.
The
city
stepped
in
at
that
point,
even
with
school
pools
that
we
had
built
and
every
school
board,
including
Etobicoke,
had
a
relationship
with
the
city
of
Etobicoke.
E
N
You
I
just
wondered
if
you'd
be
willing
to
consider
an
amendment
or
I
can
move
it
as
a
separate
amendment
that
it
wouldn't
just
be
section
37
and
section
42,
but
we
would
also
add
and
city
capital
funding,
because
where
we
were,
as
you
rightfully
point
out,
we
are
not
investing
any
City
dollars,
not
even
capital
money
into
those
facilities.
Yeah.
E
E
N
E
E
O
Thanks,
madam
Speaker
I
have
a
little
motion.
My
speech
is
broader
than
my
little
motion.
My
motion
is
quite
specific:
that
City
Council
requests
the
general
general
manager,
parks,
forestry
and
Recreation
as
part
of
the
evaluation
of
it's
bubbles.
If
you've
read
the
plan,
that's
that's
in
there
a
little
bit
to
conduct
an
environmental
scan
of
bubble,
enclosures
innovations
and
to
update
lifecycle,
estimates
and
operating
impacts
of
such
enclosures.
O
If
you
read
this
plan,
no
offense
to
the
people
who
wrote
our
common
ground
and
other
plans
before
it
of
all
the
perks
plans-
and
there
have
been
many
in
my
14
years
here-
this
one
is
the
best.
It
is
the
most
exhaustive
and
I
am
very
anxious,
very
anxious
to
get
on
with
the
next,
which
is
the
implementation
report.
O
The
implementation
report
that
comes
before
your
election
for
those
who
are
shaking
their
heads,
those
who
have
already
moved
me
to
itis
motions.
You
are
going
to
get
a
report
and
it's
gonna
tell
you
whether
or
not
you've
been
fairly
served
now
I'm
in
an
interesting
situation.
Madam
Speaker
I've
been
to
a
lot
of
community
centers,
including
yours.
O
Most
of
us
know
backwards
and
forwards.
The
community
facilities
where
we
serve
where
we
live.
When
you
get
to
the
point
where
you've,
not
the
only
kids
but
a
bunch
of
grandkids,
and
they
start
playing
league
sports,
all
over
town
basketball,
in
my
case,
you've
been
to
you,
have
been
to
the
Wellesley
you've
been
to
you've
been
to
York.
O
You've
also
been
to
tabby
little
Stan,
Wadlow
Clubhouse
you've
been
to
John
Innes
and
if
you
have
been
to
John
Innes,
that's
job
one
for
me
for
me
that
one's
job
one
I
spent
the
summer
going
there
every
day,
it's
right
next
to
where
we
had
our
safe
injection
site
tent.
It's
a
tiny
little
Center
trying
to
serve
a
whole
lot
of
very
needy
people,
and
it
desperately
needs
to
be
done.
O
But
here's
my
here's
my
thing,
I've
been
the
beneficiary
of
growth
funds.
I
get
a
brand
shiny,
spanking
new
turnkey,
Community
Center
because
of
the
growth
in
my
area
and
I.
Hope
you
don't
begrudge
that,
because
I
have
20,000
new
people,
20,000
new
people
over
over
the
span
of
a
decade
have
been
or
will
be,
moving
into
that
area
all
in
the
span
of
10
to
12
years,
and
so
of
course,
there
is
an
upgrade
in
services,
but
the
developers
paid
for
it
turnkey
built
it.
We
often
make
the
joke
in
the
community.
O
I've
got
growth
and
growth,
money
and
I'm
using
it
to
serve
the
new
residents
and
the
existing
residents,
but
we
have
to
fix
those
other
places
and
that's
why,
in
a
hundred
pages,
this
report
has
done
an
exhaustive
inventory
of
how
we
go
about
doing
that.
How
we
go
about
setting
priorities,
how
we
take
a
system-wide
equity
approach
without
getting
into
a
one-upmanship
me
to
light
a
situation,
and
it
says
please,
let
us
get
going
on
this.
There
isn't
a
minute
to
waste.
If
we're
gonna
do
what
you
want
us
to
do
in
20
years.
O
We
need
to
start
tomorrow
and
we're
going
to
be
back
here
in
a
shoot,
a
few
short
months
with
the
implementation
plan,
and
at
that
point,
if
we
got
it
wrong,
you'll
start
to
tinker
and
tweak.
But
please
let
us
get
that
implementation
plan
off
the
ground
and
to
make
things
fair
to
make
those
people
who
don't
have
the
growth
money
that
my
community
has?
O
Who
don't
have
the
choices
that
my
community
is
making
in
all
their
parks
and
recreation
facilities
through
participatory
budgeting,
because
they
have
money
and
choices
for
those
communities
that
don't
have
it
I
want
that
plan
to
get
going,
because,
while
I
represent,
my
ward
I
worry
about
the
wreck
and
the
welfare
of
children
in
the
entire
city?
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
Those
are
my
remarks.
Thank
You.
B
Obviously,
we
need
a
plan,
a
long-term
plan
when
it
comes
to
parks
and
rec
facilities
in
the
city.
There's
no
doubt
about
it.
From
what
I've
read
in
the
plan,
there's
there's,
there's
lots
of
of
lofty
goals
and
commitments.
There's
no
doubt
about
it.
So
I'm
gonna
be
asking
staff
over
the
the
next
few
weeks
to
arrange
a
basically
a
departmental
briefing
with
my
office
to
really
understand
the
process
that
developed
this
master
plan
and
I'm
gonna
hold.
B
D
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
Do
I
love
this
plan
forward?
26
mm
not
so
much
I'm
disappointed,
but
do
I
think
it's
a
fair
plan,
yes,
and
do
I
think
it's
good
for
the
city.
Yes,
absolutely
I
have
to
fight
for
my
ward,
but
I
recognize
it
it's
bigger
than
my
ward.
Anyone
that
says
they
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
to
Matt
Bentley
over
there
or
the
consultant.
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
have
an
answer
for
that.
D
I
probably
had
five
meetings
and
20
phone
calls
and
I've
been
on
that
whatever
for
the
last
year,
I
had
lots
of
opportunity
for
input.
I
understand
the
process.
Matt
explain
the
process.
Do
I,
like
the
results
not
for
my
ward
I
would
have
liked
more,
but
I
get
it.
I
will
not
be
supporting
anything
that
deviates
from
this
plan.
D
The
whole
idea
of
getting
a
consultant,
a
private
consultant,
someone
who
is
not
politically
motivated,
who
looks
at
all
the
steps
and
and
develops
it
impartially,
is
I
thought
what
we're
here
for
it's
not
about
me
to
is
not
about
putting
something
in
the
newsletter
I
want
that
unbiased
report.
That's
what
I
think
we
have
that's
what
I'll
be
supporting,
would
I
like
it
to
be
more
ambitious,
absolutely
would
I
like
it
to
be
a
10-year
time
frame,
absolutely
that's
where
we
come
in,
but
in
terms
of
the
the
roadmap.
C
Madam
Speaker,
further
to
my
comments
that
I
made
a
couple
of
minutes
ago
when
I
was
asking
my
colleague
myself
and
councillor
Kelly,
counselor,
Lee
and
counsel
Sean
we're
looking
at
an
exorbitant
growth
in
the
next
few
years.
So
therefore,
I
am
asking
for
a
similar
thing
that
counselor
one
time
had
to
the
area
north
of
401
in
Scarborough.
C
Parallel
to
pharmacy,
between
warden
and
pharmacy,
those
parts
we
can
loose,
we
do
have
constituents
that
are
looking
to
get
into
soccer
domes
getting
to
cricket
fields,
it's
probably
the
fastest,
the
two
fastest
sports
growing
in
North
America.
We
also
need
to
make
sure
that
our
children
have
areas
where
they
can
go
and
play.
Our
elders
have
have
places
that
they
have
community
centers,
that
they
can
go
and
and
get
in
volved
and
and
and
be
mentally
sound
and
keep
well
and
right.
C
We're
looking
at
towers
that
are
starting
at
35,
40
and
50,
and
when
you
got
development
just
happening
north
of
Steel's
encroaching
our
area
the
people
north
of
Steel's
in
Markham.
They
will
come
to
Toronto
because
the
programs
are
free.
So
we
have
to
look
similarly
to
my
colleague
downtown.
We
also
have
to
take
a
look
what's
happening.
North
of
401
people
will
say
that
north
of
401
is
the
only
place
where
you
people
go
to
sleep.
C
I,
disagree
with
that
north
of
401
in
Scarborough,
which
is
a
forgotten
community,
forgotten
community
in
transportation,
forgotten
community
and
a
lot
of
things
is
a
vibrant
community
and
it's
going
and
those
people
must
realize
that
they
are
also
part
of
the
citizens
of
Toronto
and
they're,
not
looked
upon
the
second-class
citizens.
Thank
you,
madam
Speaker.
K
Since
then,
a
number
of
motions
have
come
forward
which,
in
one
way
or
another,
suggests
that
there
is
some
service
deficiency
and
in
some
kind
of
recreational
facility
or
in
some
portion
of
the
city
and
there's
been
quite
an
argument
about
who's,
got
the
bigger
deficiency
and
where
the
problems
lie
and
which
problem
we
have
to
address.
First.
K
Underlying
all
of
that
is
the
very
simple
fact
that
each
and
every
one
of
us
has
substantial
voices
in
our
community
telling
us
we
need
to
provide
better
recreational
services.
We
simply
as
a
city,
don't
make
the
investment
to
make
our
constituents
content
that
we
deliver
enough
facilities
to
provide
the
services
that
people
want.
K
People
want
better
service
than
what
we
currently
deliver
and
here's
the
thing
we
don't
even
have
the
money
to
implement
the
plan.
That's
in
front
of
us,
let
alone
all
the
additional
services
that
people
are
demanding
of
us.
So
we
have
two
very
simple
choices.
As
elected
officials,
we
can
tell
people,
no,
you
cannot
expect
to
get
that
level
of
service.
It
is
not
a
possible
thing.
You
will
never
get
your
cricket
pitch,
you
will
never
get
sufficient
recreation
facilities
in
the
downtown.
K
Scarborough
is
gonna,
go
wanting
councillor
Pasternak,
we'll
never
to
have
his
needs
met.
We
can
go
all
of
us
out
into
the
community
and
say
no
you're
not
getting
it
or
we
can
come
into
this
council
chamber
aware
that
Torontonians
are
not
satisfied
with
the
level
of
service
and
make
a
commitment
amongst
ourselves
that
we
will
provide
that
service.
But
to
do
that
requires
us
to
have
a
different
kind
of
a
courage.
K
I'm
gonna
be
looking
for
in
just
a
few
short
weeks
when
the
budget
gets
in
front
of
us
I'm
going
to
be
looking
for
every
single
person
who
has
moved
emotion,
suggesting
that
some
particular
type
of
recreation
service
needs
to
be
better
than
what's
imagined
in
this
plan.
I'm
going
to
be
looking
for
all
of
you
to
argue
that
we
need
to
increase
the
revenues
we
collected
a
city
as
a
city
in
order
to
provide
the
services
that
you're
moving
motions
to
demand.
K
If
you
do
one
without
doing
the
other
you're,
not
providing
the
kind
of
leadership
that
this
community
needs
so
that
we
get
the
services
that
people
expect
of
us.
So
look
at
the
motion.
You've
made.
Have
it
in
mind
when
councilor
Crawford
and
the
chief
financial
officer
launched
a
budget
in
just
a
month
or
so
have
those
things
in
mind
and
ask
yourself:
am
I
pursuing
what
my
constituents
want
by
supporting
this
budget?
Does
this
budget
committees
to
a
financial
framework
that
actually
supports
the
things
I
asked
for
in
council?
Thank
you.
Thank.
L
L
I
know
how
much
was
put
into
this
particular
report
and
of
a
full
understanding
of
how
much
will
be
required
to
do
an
implementation
report.
Even
though
it's
months
away,
that's
a
big
piece
of
work,
so
I
won't
be
supporting
anything
that
requires
them
to
do
additional
reports.
Given
the
implementation
report,
I
think
will
cover
all
of
the
concerns
that
you
have
maybe
not
to
your
satisfaction,
but
I
think
it
will
address
all
of
those
concerns
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
staff
for
a
terrific
report
that
I
support
support
wholeheartedly.
Thank
you.
F
You
I
have
a
motion
that
City
Council
request:
the
general
manager
parks,
forestry
and
Recreation
to
have
further
conversations
with
ward
councillors
representing
areas
of
extremely
high
growth
to
help
inform
the
implementation
report
coming
to
City
Council
in
the
second
quarter
of
2018,
and
it's
just
it's
something
that
I
think
was
going
to
happen
in
any
event
that
there
would
be
further
conversations
before
the
implementation
report.
It
deliberately
does
not
say
add
this
or
add
that
or
use
this
methodology
or
add
that
methodology
I.
Guess
it's
an
alternative
to
councillor
Wong
Tam's
motion.
F
So
it's
again,
just
asking
I
just
want
to
make
sure,
for
example,
that
the
in
my
area
that
the
population
projections
that
are
being
used
are
correct
because
I
think
they're,
not
even
close
so
I
just
want
to
have
further
discussion
about
those
sorts
of
issues
or
make
sure
the
staff
are
aware
of
new
land
acquisitions
to
take
that
into
account
and
they're
in
their
planning,
and
if
they
choose
not
to
that's
up
to
them,
it's
not
telling
them
to
do
anything.
It's
just
telling
them
to
have
some
further
conversations.
Okay,.
B
F
B
B
I've
asked
for
clarification
of
it.
I
was
happy
to
speak
to
you
when
we're
not
debating
it,
but
I
think
it's
so
open
to
interpretation
that
staff
could
pick
seven
or
eight
other
areas
around
the
city.
Councillor
Cara
Janice
made
the
same
point:
counselor
D
channel
has
not
and
councillor
Grimes.
They
have
not
stood
up
on
that
particular
point,
although
they
too
have
areas
well.
F
F
O
Yes,
madam
Speaker
I,
just
for
clarification
and
I
I'm
not
trying
to
pick
specifically
in
councillor
Fillion,
because
I
really
should
have
asked
this
of
everyone,
or
is
there
something
about
the
map
on
page
7
that
looks
at
not
only
prove
that
the
projects
under
review
in
your
ward
puts
a
black
line
around
your
area,
calling
it
a
growth
center.
Sorry.
O
Is
there
something
about
the
map
on
page
7
that
looks
at
every
project
under
review
in
your
area,
whether
it
is
a
large
center
or
a
200
unit
building
and
puts
a
black
line
around
your
ward,
calling
it
a
center
and
growth
center
that
that
is
that
you
need
more.
Should
we
go
beyond
projects
that
are
not
yet
approved,
but
under
review?
It's.
F
A
the
20-year
projections
are
not
even
close
councillor
Carroll,
but
I
didn't
want
to
get
into
that
debate
today.
I'm
not
saying
do
this,
do
that
I'm
just
saying
just
you
know
again,
it
was
something
that
was
gonna
happen
anyway.
It's
just
a
further
conversation,
just
let's
check
the
numbers.
I'm
not
saying
add
this.
Add
that
I'm
saying
let's
go
over
the
numbers:
let's
go
over
the
the
land
acquisitions,
for
example.
Again.
N
F
O
F
A
H
N
N
It
has
addressed
population
growth,
it
has
addressed
demographic
changes,
it
has
addressed
needs
and
it
has
addressed
both
the
state
of
good
repair,
which
means
what
are
we
doing
about
the
facilities
that
need
to
be
fixed
up,
and
it
also
is
saying:
here's
where
we
need
to
expand
services
and
build
new
facilities.
So
we
have
both
state
of
good
repair
maintenance
and
we
have
growth
both
in
terms
of
population
and
where
there
currently
are
not
facilities.
