The

has
confirmed

I
will
now
call
meeting

15
of
the
economic
and
community
development
committee
to
order
I'd
like
to
welcome
everyone
and,
as
we
have
now,
I
guess
almost
closed
the
door
on
summer.
It
feels
cool,
so
it's
very
timely
that
we
are
actually
here
in
the
council
chamber
where
it's
very
nice
and
warm
in
the
new
normal
today
is
the
first
meeting
being
held
with
members
of
council
particip
participating
both
in
person
and
by
video
conference.
A
A
Before
we
begin
I'd
like
to
remind
you
about
the
important
health
and
safety
measures
that
we
must
follow
today
to
ensure
our
safety,
all
participants
have
been
seated
two
meters
apart.
Please
stay
in
your
designated
seats,
do
not
change
seats
or
sit
in
another
member's
seat.
I
know
that
we're
not
going
to
have
this
problem
today.
As
most
of
the
members,
all
the
members
of
committee
are
coming
in
remotely
I'm
the
only
member,
that's
in
the
chamber
with
the
clerk's
staff.
A
However,
the

have
got
to
be
mentioned

entering
ex
or

This
will
make
it
easier
for
me
as

for
those

youtube
to
observe
members

they
participate
in
the
debate

I
will
ask

raise
their
hands

unmute
their
mic
if
they
wish
to
question
staff

speak,
I
will
then
create
a
speaker's
list
and
will
call
in
members
when
it
is
their

A
To

Thank
you
all
righty.
Thank
you.
We
have
ec
15.1
toronto
arts
council
2019
annual
allocations
report.
We
have
three
speakers
we
have.
The
first
speaker
is
claire
hopkinson
toronto,
arts,
council
and
then
following
claire
hopkins,
susan
wright
at
toronto
arts
council,
and
then
we
have
andrew
suri
toronto
arts
council.
So
claire,
are
you
on
the
line.
F
G
A
A
E
Well,
mr
speaker,
I'm
wondering
if,
since
we're
looking
at
a
2019
report,
I'm
wondering
if
ms
hopkinson
would
like
to
just
give
us
a
quick
outline
on
on
how
the
the
council
is
keeping
track
of
and
how
they're
adjusting
for
those
who
had
multi-year
plans
and
multi-year
types
of
grants.
I
know
that
they're.
I
know
that
they're
keeping
a
very
close
watch
and
are
engaging
since
the
beginning
of
the
outbreak,
but
I'm
wondering
if
she
wants
to
update
economic
development
on
that.
F
In
asking
for
any
updates
to
their
status,
because
multi-year
grants
were
adjudicated
by
our
team
really
more
for
the
purposes
of
of
finding
out
their
status
and
understanding
that
many
of
the
projects
where
the
majority
of
the
projects
could
not
go
ahead.
We
understood
that
to
be
the
case
and
and
were
content
with
the
payments
going
out
to
make
sure
that
the
organizations
could
survive.
F
F
Our
operating
clients,
many
of
which
were
founded
over
30
to
40
years
ago,
are
a
different
situation,
but
we
are,
we
do
account
for
each
organization,
they
have
to
complete
an
equity.
They
have
to
tell
us
what
they're
doing
with
regard
to
equity
implementation
in
their
organizations,
and
we
are
keeping
careful
account
of
that.
F
F
It's
been
a
very
successful
series
of
com
consultations
and
both
the
council
and
the
foundation
have.
The
boards
have
agreed
to
put
a
minimum
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
into
a
new
initiative,
and
we
are
looking
through
the
foundation
because,
of
course,
all
of
our
money.
Our
budget
was
already
implemented
for
this
year,
so
we've
only
been
able
to
to
reallocate
a
certain
amount,
but
we
want
to
grow
this
some
so
that
we
can
really
address
some
of
the
core
fundamental,
I'm
going
to
say,
systemic
issues
facing
black
artists.
F
F
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
was
very
impressed
when
I
read
the
report,
and
I
saw
that
so
I
thought
it
would
be
very
good
for
you
to
at
least
expand
on
on
that
this
morning.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that.
Those
are
all
my
questions
for
you
miss
hopkinson.
I
don't
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
there's
anyone
else,
I'm
just
looking
at
the
screen.
So
when
not
any
other
members
have
any
questions
for
miss
hopkins.
A
H
A
Well,
thank
you
just
seeing
that
there's
any
questions
for
you
from
members
I've
seen
now
yeah.
I
think
to
ask
you
a
question.
Please:
can
you
maybe
just
expand
on
the
impact
of
the
arts
and
cultural
sector
to
the
city,
the
lively
nature
of
the
city,
the
economic
impact
and
just
the
vibrancy
that
the
arts
and
cultural
contribution
makes
to
the
city?
I
wonder
if
you
can
just
maybe
just
expand
on
that
with
respect
to
your
2019
report.
Please.
H
Yes,
well
right
at
the
top
of
the
the
report,
you
can
see
that
toronto
arts
council
supported
a
total
of
920
artists
and
arts
organizations
which
collectively
presented
18
000
arts
activities
attended
by
over
5
million
people.
There
are
in
the
cultural
sector
on
about
175
000
workers
about
40.
000
of
those
workers
are
at
our
artists
working
within
the
sector,
so
it
is
a
very
large
piece
of
the
economy
of
the
city,
but
also
it
drives
so
much
more
than
that.
H
As
you
well
know,
councillor
thompson,
just
from
all
of
your
support
and
activities,
the
the
impact
in
the
community
is
is
felt
at
every
level
with
with
things
like
and
and
we'll
we're
seeing
this
now,
as
arts
in
the
parks
is
one
of
the
first
things
to
be
opening
up
again,
there
are
activities
that
are
starting
to
happen
now
and
we're
anticipating
that
the
arts
may
well
drive
some
of
the
public
engagement
that
the
city
really
desperately
needs
in
order
to
thrive.
So
there
are
many
sorry
go
ahead.
B
B
H
We
have
a
number
of
outreach
activities
that
that
go
out
across
the
city.
We
do
arrange
for
interpreters
when
that
is
appropriate
and
we
have
some
of
our
grant.
Staff
are
able
to
translate
as
well
a
number
of
our
programs.
We
have
translated
some
of
the
materials
into
different
languages.
For
example,
we
have
a
newcomer
and
refugee
engagement
and
mentorship
program
for
newcomers
to
the
city
and
we
have
translated
a
number
of
those
materials
and
and
also
make
translation
available.
H
B
H
B
H
A
The
chair,
thank
you
very
much.
Councillor
lai.
I
also
want
to
welcome
councillor
fletcher
visiting
a
member
to
the
committee.
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
council
fletcher
may
have
any
questions.
Okay,
see
none!
Okay!
Thank
you
very
much.
I
believe
those
are
all
the
questions
for
you,
ms
wright.
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
and
your
wish
to
speak.
A
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
we're
just
having
some
technical
difficulties
in
terms
of
my
being
able
to
see
you
right
away
so
just
bear
with
us.
Staff
are
working
diligently
and
it's
working
now.
So
thank
you.
So
I
have
counselor
carol
to
speak
and
then
counselor
line
x,
so
counselor
carol.
You
may
begin
when
ready.
E
Yes,
thank
you.
I
don't
have
a
motion
to
move
other
than
to
to
move
receipt
of
the
report
if
you
wish,
but
I
I
just
wanted
to
to
underscore
the
question
that
I
asked
is
really
to
let
people
know
that
while
these
monies
are
flowing,
we
all
know
that
that,
obviously
this
was
a
year
in
which
projects
couldn't
proceed.
E
We
now
know
that
they
may
have
to
change
the
way
they
deliver
for
up
to
a
whole
other
year,
and
so
I
I
asked
my
question
about
the
multi-year
organizations
just
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
to
make
sure
that
those
core
groups
can
still
form
the
core
of
the
scene
so
to
speak,
and
and
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
the
ontario
arts
council
is
taking
the
same
approach.
Those
are
my
comments,
mr
chair.
A
B
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
first
of
all
by
start
by
thanking
the
staff
for
for
this
lovely,
very,
very
detailed
report,
and
I
I'm
I
think
that
it's
very
important
that
arts
is
very
important
to
the
people
of
toronto,
as
well
as
to
our
economy,
and
I
wanted
to
especially
thank
that
this
quote.
The
funding
is
inclusive
and
outside
of
central
core,
which
is
you
know
in
the
scarborough
area.
B
We
got
some
funding
and
you
know
especially
the
the
shadowland
theater
at
alex
mia
park,
is
in
my
ward
and
and
I've.
Actually,
I
I
attended
last
year
and
I
was
one
of
the
interpreter
being
in
there
and
then
there's
everybody
was
very
happy
and,
and
it's
a
very,
very
good
program,
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
if
we
can
bring
more
opportunity
to
scarborough
and
especially
to
you,
know
my
what
23,
that
would
be
very
appreciated
and
I
do
have
a
international
arts
festival
for
children.
B
You
know
the
organizer
actually
resides
in
my
ward
and
I
think
they're
always
looking
for
grants,
and
I
I
would
actually
take
upon
myself
to
actually
make
sure
that
this
will
be
introduced
to
to
the
arts
program,
because
you
know
children.
Arts
is
very
important
as
well,
especially
now
that
during
covet,
I
think
we
we're
coming
out
of
this
in
a
different
world
and
we
still
arts
is
still
very
important
to
our
our
mental
health
and
it
really
contribute
to
a
lot
to
our
city
being
a
community
bringing
our
community
together.
B
A
A
A
It's
an
investment
into
the
arts
and
cultural
sector
in
the
city
and
as
miss
hopkinson
and
wright
has
indicated
that
you
know
the
vibrancy
in
in
the
contribution
that
it
makes
to
the
economic
development
of
the
city
is
absolutely
tremendous
and
I
think
it's
extremely
important
in
terms
of
recognizing
the
organization's
leadership
as
it
relates
to
inclusion
and
equity.
I
asked
the
question
and
I
knew
the
answer,
but
it
was
important
for
ms
hopkinson
to
make
the
comment
to
indicate
the
board's.
A
You
know
diversity,
which
reflects
the
the
percentage
factor,
that
is
the
population
of
toronto,
and
I
think
that
is
great
work.
Great
leadership
and
you
look
all
the
way
down
to
the
senior
management
group
and
so
on,
which
reflects
again
diversity,
and
it's
not
just
simply
talking
about
it.
But
it's
fully.
A
A
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
lost
on
any
one
of
us
as
members
of
our
committee.
I
think
we'll
all
be
working
very
diligently
and
hard
to
ensure
that
we
provide
the
support
and
the
leadership
of
the
mayor
and
others
and
so
on
will
no
doubt
be
there
to
to
help
to
ensure
that
the
sector
is
not.
You
know
forgotten,
and
I
know
that
they
won't
be.
I
note,
as
it
relates
to
the
response
to
coved
miss
hopkinson's
leadership
in
the
leadership
of
the
arts
council.
A
A
I
know
that
counselor
carol
has
already
moved
the
report
and
I'd
simply
like
to
again
just
reiterate
our
thanks
from
this
committee
and
thanks.
You
know
to
the
arts,
council
and
its
contribution
to
all
the
great
in
initiatives,
and
you
know
whether
or
not
it's
to
newcomers
and
whether
or
not
it
is
to
the
indigenous
community
and
so
on
and
creating
access
to
space
and
opportunity.
A
These
are
all
important
elements
that
are
needed
to
help
the
sector
and
so
on,
and
I
know
that
we're
going
to
work
diligently
in
order
to
ensure,
as
part
of
the
rebuild
and
recovery,
that
the
arts
and
cultural
sector
is
fully
integrated
in
in
terms
of
that
process.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
report
and
I
would
simply
like
to
ask,
as
the
report's
been
moved
by
council
carroll,
all
those
in
favor
pose
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
B
As
you're
very
much
aware,
the
cabbagetown
youth
center
has
had
its
financial
challenges
over
the
years
and
coupled
by
cover
19
and
a
significant
termite
issue,
so
to
ensure
children,
youth
and
their
families
in
st
jamestown
cabbagetown
in
regent
park,
continue
to
have
the
access
to
quality
programs
and
services.
Our
board
decided
to
pursue
exploring
a
merger.
B
We
are
now
working
together
with
the
toronto
kiwanis
boys
and
girls
club
to
achieve
a
merger
partner.
Qantas
has
been
a
strong
organization
in
our
community
for
decades
we
have
similar
missions
and
goals
and
would
continue
to
serve
our
communities
and
many
of
our
outstanding
programs.
So
it
really
is
an
ideal
opportunity,
and
just
lastly,
I'd
like
to
say
that
cyc
is
most
grateful
to
the
city
for
the
emergency
funding
led
and
championed
by
councillor
christian
wong
tam
and
the
ongoing
assistance
of
the
sdfa
staff.
B
A
A
Okay,
seeing
none
okay,
so
I
will
move
the
item
and
just
simply
say
that
I'm
very
pleased
with
the
collaboration
and
the
pending
partnership
with
respect
to
the
qantas
club
and
the
kavishtown
youth
youth
center.
I
know
that
mr
rossi
and
councilman
tam
and
others
have
been
working
really
hard
to
ensure
that
this
storied
center
didn't
actually
get
disbanded
and,
as
we
see
by
way
the
report
that
the
agreement
should
be
concluded
before
the
end
of
the
year.
A
So
I'm
very
pleased
to
to
see
this
report
in
front
of
us
today
and
to
ensure
that
the
young
people
will
have
can
continue
to
have
opportunities
with
respect
to
the
integration
that
will
take
place
at
the
cabochon
youth
center.
So
congratulations
to
all
involved,
and
this
is
a
good
news
for
the
city
and
good
news,
particularly
good
news
for
young
people
in
our
city,
all
those
in
favor
of
the
report,
the
recommendations,
okay,
see
all
the
hands
opposed
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
B
C
Great
good
morning,
everyone
so
councilors.
Certainly
there
was
an
uptake
of
the
number
of
fires
or
residential
fires
during
the
clovid
first
wave
and
the
and
the
uptake
ranged
anywhere
from
seven
to
thirteen
percent.
I
can't
at
this
point
I
don't
have
the
exact
number
averaged
out
over
the
100
plus
days,
but
certainly
toronto
fire
services
was
responding
to
more
residential
fires
than
the
previous
years.
During
that
time
period.
B
C
Counselor,
certainly
the
I
was
well
aware
of
the
one
you
had
in
your
award
last
week,
the
roof
fire
that
we
had.
No,
the
uptake
and
fires
that
we
saw
during
the
covet
first
wave
pandemic
primarily
was
in
residential
settings
whether
they
were
residential
homes
or
certainly
residential
apartment
buildings.
We
did
not
see
a
similar
or
corresponding
uptake
for
industrial
or
commercial
buildings.
B
C
C
We
obviously
with
the
fire
chief
being
removed
to
lead
the
the
covered
response
and
myself
and
a
number
of
other
senior
staff
were
were
sort
of
taken
out
of
fire
over
the
last
number
of
months.
It
had
stopped
a
lot
of
the
work
that
had
been
started
initially
in
response
to
the
cfai
recommendations
and
councilor
carroll's
motion
that
was
passed
so
certainly
our
goal.
The
chief's
goal
has
always
been
to
come
back
with.
C
You
know
a
proper
data
set
before
he
would
make
any
sort
of
recommendations
or
requests
for
increased
resources,
especially
during
this
period
of
time,
given
that
financial
constraints,
so
really
our
goal
is
to
continue
the
work
that
had
been
paused
by
covet
19
and
to
report
back
with
recommendations
from
the
deployment
review
that
candidly
we
have
restarted.
As
of
my
return
in
september,.
B
Just
very
briefly,
mr
chair,
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
time
to
thank
the
toronto
fire
service
for
a
really
awesome,
amazing
job
that
you've
been
doing
during
covet
19..
I
know
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
increase
in
the
fire
in
the
residential
duty
due
to
you
know,
staying
home
and
due
to
isolation
and
all
that-
and
I
just
really
you
know,
I'm
so
proud
of
all
the
service
that
our
toronto
fire
service
has
provided
us
and
I
just
wish
them
all
the
best.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
A
I
would
like
to
ask
members:
are
there
any
members
having
questions
on
this
particular
item?
Okay,
looking
at
my
screen
seeing
that
okay,
I
do
have
a
few
questions
for
you,
mr
jessup,
raising
the
alarm.
This
is
the
fraud
investigation
of
vendors,
providing
life
safety
inspection
services
in
toronto,
and
I
had
a
specific
facility
in
my
ward
that
was
caught
up
in
this
process.
A
C
C
A
number
of
the
recommendations
count
deputy
mayor
that
speak
to
your
question
required
the
or
requested
the
fire
chief
to
engage
the
fire
marshal's
office
and
the
different
ministries
at
the
province
with
respect
to
training
and
qualifications,
because
the
municipalities
don't
have
that
jurisdiction,
so
those
meetings
were
set.
Those
meetings
were
held
and
the
concerns
and
the
findings
of
the
report
where
were
shared
with
the
appropriate
provincial
people,
specifically
the
office
of
the
fire,
marshal
those
dialogues
continue
and,
unfortunately,
with
covet.
C
I
believe
that
was
also
sort
of
you
know
parked
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
company's
deputy
mayor,
the
the
work
that
this
group
does
is
quite
unique
and,
as
a
number
of
you,
I
recall
on
that
committee
at
the
time
when
this
was
brought
forward
the
depth
of
the
inspections,
and
it
almost
becomes
like
a
cra
audit.
The
good
news
is,
I
can
tell
you
because
of
the
work
of
this
committee,
even
though
it
was
paused
again
because
of
covet
this
special
inspection
team.
C
We
actually
found
three
more
companies
working
in
city
of
toronto,
buildings
that
were
caught
doing
the
same
thing
that
the
auditor
general
had
found
back
in
2018
and
the
names
of
those
companies
were
provided
to
crem
and
and
they
are
actually
working
through
the
court
process
right
now.
So
unfortunately,
I
can't
name
them,
but
the
work
that
this
group
was
you
know
hired
and
directed
city
council
to
do
continues
to
pay
dividends.
C
The
challenge
being,
as
I
said,
the
chief
and
tfs
would
never
come
forward
asking
for
potentially
additional
resources
without
having
a
good
data
set
or
analysis.
Especially
during
this
you
know
financial
restraint
with
kovitz,
so
the
request
from
toronto
fire
services
again
try
to
give
us
one
more
year.
You
know,
hopefully,
we
have
a
normal
year
to
allow
us
to
report
back
with
additional
information
from
the
specific
group
that
was
designed
and
directed
to
work
after
the
ag.
A
C
So
again,
thank
you
for
the
question
deputy
mayor.
So
with
respect
to
the
training
again,
the
fire
chief
did
move
those
recommendations
forward
to
the
fire
marshal's
office,
and
that
was
communicated.
So
at
this
point
it
is
up
to
the
fire
marshal's
office
to
amend
any
regulations
with
respect
to
training
or
sort
of
qualifications.
C
Now,
specifically
with
any
requests
from
toronto
fire
service,
if
the
fire
chief
or
or
or
toronto
fire
service
felt,
there
was
certainly
any
sort
of
imminent
risk
or
or
or
requirement
for
additional
resources
that
we
could
not
handle.
That
would
immediately
be
brought
through
the
chief's
office
through
committee
to
city
council
right
now
we
did
see
an
uptake
we
absolutely-
and
this
was
not
just
in
the
city
of
toronto.
C
In
fact,
the
fire
marshal's
office
reported
similar
statistics
in
and
around
the
twelve
percent
number
across
the
world,
just
given
the
lockdown
and
and
the
amount
of
people
that
were
in.
But
at
this
point
we
believe
you
know
until
we
have
time
to
do
the
operations
deployment
review
and
continue
this
analysis
of
this
specific
set
that,
at
this
point,
we're
not
asking
for
any
additional
resources.
A
Thank
you
very
much
deputy
chief
jessup.
I
appreciate
the
response
and
I
know
that
you
and
the
chief
and
members
of
the
service
will
always
work
diligently
to
protect
the
health
and
safety
and
the
welfare
of
all
torontonians.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Members
of
the
assistant
chair,
welcome
counselor
line.
Did
you
wish
to
speak,
I'm
just
seeing
an
end.
A
B
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
mention
that
this
matter
is
quite
serious
and
it's
very
I'm
I'm
glad
and
I'm
hope.
I
hope
that
we
will
be
addressing
this
issue,
because
it's
a
very
serious
issue
and
on
another
note
that
I
saw
that
the
chief
pick
is
here
and-
and
I
really
wanted
to
thank
you
chief
and
your
team
and
the
deputy
chief
jessup.
Both
of
you
have
done
an
amazing
job,
fighting
our
covet
19
and
I
hope
you
had
a
you.
B
A
We've
heard
from
mr
joshua
that,
as
part
of
the
request
that's
been
made
to
the
ontario
fire
marshal
and
that
organization
to
respond
to
this,
and,
of
course,
we'll
all
be
watching,
and
it's
really
important
for
us.
We've
heard
that
we've
seen
an
increase
in
number
of
fires.
It's
extremely
important
for
us
to
ensure
the
health
and
welfare
and
safety
of
all
of
our
residents,
and
I
know
that's
not
lost
on
chief
pegg
and
and
deputy
chief
jessup
and
the
team
at
toronto
fire
service.
A
I
recall
saying
in
council
some
time
ago
that
we
had
and
and
still
do,
the
best
one
two
leadership
team
in
the
fire
services:
that's
chief
peg
and
deputy
chief
jessup.
I
think
that
our
city
is
extremely
fortunate
to
have
both
these
two
leaders
leading
this
storied
organization
and
not
only
did
do
do
we
see
them
leading
the
fire
services
about,
as
councillor
law
has
indicated.
A
You
know
celebrate
them
enough
based
on
their
contribution,
and
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
continue
to
speak
to
the
leadership
and
the
professionalism
that
certainly
they
bring
to
the
table
and,
of
course,
there's
a
whole
group
of
other
people
that
are
involved
as
part
of
covet
and
so
on.
You
know
the
frontline
workers,
all
the
city,
staff,
amazing
people
and
so
on.
A
So,
with
respect
to
the
report,
the
recommendations
are
here:
I'm
going
to
move
the
report
with
recommendations,
all
those
in
favor,
I'm
just
waiting
to
see
a
show
of
hands.
My
screen
will
change
excellent.
I
oppose
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much
and
again,
thank
you.
Both
chief
peg
and
deputy
chief
joseph
for
your
leadership
have
an
amazing
day.
Thank
you.
We're
now
moving
members
to
our
final
item,
which
is
ec,
15.6
and
and
council
carol.
E
Well,
I
you
know,
I
read
this
with
interest,
but
but
I
we
don't,
we
don't
are
not
having
the
presentation
today
and
first
of
all,
I'm
wondering
if
we
would
benefit
from
having
it.
But
but
more
importantly,
there's
there's
that
what's
before
us
is
endorsing
reporting
back
on
this
and
and
proceeding
with
this,
but
I'm
wondering
if
we
should
be
putting
putting
a
date
to
it.
E
There
is
not
a
date
in
the
recommendation
coming
to
us
from
aboriginal
affairs
committee
and
I'm
wondering
if
staff
want
to
comment
on
the
fact
that
that
you
know
we're
looking
at
at
trying
to
build
actual
features,
not
just
to
have
this.
These
programs
happening
in
the
park,
but
that
we
should
be
designing
and
trying
to
place
actual
physical
features
and
that
I
think
it
means
that
we
should
be
attaching
a
date
to
this,
because
parks
capital
is
forever.
E
E
A
A
F
D
Counselor
kim
attend
good
morning,
deputy
city
mayor
and
counselors.
Thank
you,
juliana
yeah.
I
thank
you.
Counselor
carol,
we're
happy
to
to
come
back
and
present
we're
actively
working
with
many
city
divisions,
including
parks,
forestry
and
recreation,
and
the
capital
folks
there
on
a
number
of
indigenous
place,
making
initiatives
and
the
work
with
native
child
and
family
services
is
one
of
those
many
initiatives
and
so
we'd
be
happy
to
come
back
to
this
committee
and
tell
you
what's
underway
and
what
we're
planning
going
forward.
D
I
can
share
a
little
bit
if
it's
helpful
for
some
context
now
native
child
is
one
of
many
other
indigenous
organizations
and
community
members
and
leaders
that
are
part
of
the
broader
efforts
and
and
the
work
as
it
is
going
to
continue
to
grow
over
time,
and
we
had
a
new
staff
member
join
the
indigenous
affairs
office
in
in
july
to
help
lead
this
work,
jennifer
franks,
who
many
of
you
will
know
from
her
time
in
the
city
manager's
office
and,
of
course,
councillor
carol.
We've
worked
closely
with
atanono
estonia
park.
D
I
will
say
just
so
that
you
know
when
it
comes
to
the
consultation
piece,
because
deputy
city
manager,
juliana,
is
right,
that
that
is
a
really
important
piece
of
this
work
to
ensure
that
indigenous
voices
are
leading
it.
So
preparations
are
being
made
to
form
an
indigenous
place,
making
advisory
circle
that'll
be
comprised
of
indigenous
designers,
knowledge,
keepers
and
stewards.
You
know,
potentially
indigenous
organizations
reps
from
you
know,
maybe
native
child
as
an
example
or
an
exe.
D
E
A
E
E
I
I
hope
that
that
we
broaden
it
by
having
them
present
to
us,
but
I
think
that
also
make
sure
that
it's
that
it's
reaching
out
to
the
maximum
number
of
staff,
because
they
they
have
to
follow
our
committee
as
well.
What's
really
important
to
me
is
that
we
we
capitalize
on
every
opportunity
that
comes
to
us
as
a
result
of
development.
E
I
wasn't
even
at
the
committee
for
the
presentation,
but
just
looking
at
the
slides,
so
that,
yes,
of
course,
it
makes
perfect
sense
that
if
you
move
out
of
a
site
and
into
an
open
area,
not
only
are
you
meeting
copic
guidelines,
but
it
it
makes
so
much
natural
sense
to
their
programming,
because
it
is
all
about
the
land.
And
so
we've
got
to
lend
ourselves
wherever
we
can.
A
G
Hi
just
briefly,
first
of
all,
thank
you
to
staff
for
bringing
this
item
forward
here
and
into
the
aboriginal
affairs
committee.
I
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
we
all
know
clearly
from
the
data
that
covet
has
disproportionately
impacted
some
individuals
in
some
groups
and
while
we
often
think
about
that
disproportionate
impact
in
the
context
of
transmission,
that
more
that
certain
groups
and
individuals
are
more
likely
to
contract
covet,
there
are
other
disproportionate
impacts
as
well,
and
that's
where
a
trauma
and
land-based
responses
has
already
been
proven
to
be
so
effective.
G
Because
what
we've
seen
already
is
that
kids,
in
particular
disadvantaged
kids,
are
getting
more
screen
time
and
less
outdoor
time
and
that's
having
a
real
impact
on
their
physical
and
mental
health
in
terms
of
having
an
impact
on
parents,
physical
and
mental
health,
and
so
when
native
child
and
family
services
came
to
us
at
the
city
to
pfnr
the
aboriginal
affairs
office
and
tph
and
said
we
want
to
try
something
different
here.
We
want
to
pilot
a
coveted
response
where
we're
utilizing
city
parks
to
provide
a
land-based
outdoor
healing
model
for
our
kids.
G
Well,
not
only
was
it
a
good
idea,
but
the
pilot
worked.
The
res
results
of
the
pilot
showed
an
improvement
in
health
for
the
kids,
a
decrease
in
stress
for
the
parents,
and
so
how
we
look
to
build
upon
that
model
which,
like
many
things,
may
have
been
implemented
as
an
urgent
covert
response,
but
could
have
lasting
benefits
and
implications
after
we
beat
covid.
G
G
C
A
The
agreement's
already
been
struck
by
my
staff,
counselor
grimes-
I
just
have
to
get
it
to
you
for
your
signature.
So
thank
you
for
your
permission
and
and
thank
you
very
much,
council
cressie.
Thank
you.
There
are
no
other
speakers
on
this
item
and
we
could
now
take
this
item
in
to
our
process
of
concluding
with
it.
So
we
have
counselor
carol's
motion.
Would
you
put
that
back
on
the
screen?
A
Please
so
that
members
can
review
in
order
to
vote
on
council
carol's
motion,
which
is
the
timing
of
the
report
to
come
back
and
staff,
encourage
that
that
can
be
done.
So
