C
It's
11.3
rates,
important
budget,
solid
waste
management,
recommended
2020,
solid
waste
rates
and
fees
and
that
was
held
by
councillor
crawford.
So
we
have
no
deputations
may
I
ask
at
first
then:
are
there
any
questions
of
staff
councillor
Crawford?
Did
you
hold
it
for
questions
or
to
speak?
Okay?
Are
there
questions
of
staff
on
the
waste
management
budget?
C
D
You
mr.
mayor
again,
I
just
want
to
I
felt
the
r8
budgets,
sometimes
just
whizzed
through
fairly
quickly
here,
and
it
doesn't
give
them
the
due
justice
of
the
work
with
staff.
Do
so
I
just
want
to
thank
the
staff
at
the
solid
waste
division
for
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
over
the
last
year
and,
as
we
talked
about
with
water
waste,
always
removal
at
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
the
services
in
the
city.
We
need
to
keep
them
affordable
for
the
residents
of
this
city.
D
D
Looking
at
the
longer
conversation,
we're
gonna
have
to
be
happening
probably
next
year,
and
one
of
the
discussions
that
did
come
up
through
the
budget
process
was
the
long-term
capital
plan
with
solid
waste,
and
that
really
means
the
the
question
that
will
be
coming
really
next
year
is:
what
do
we
do
with
Green
Lane?
And
how
do
we
manage
the
future
of
Green
Lane
coming
into
the
future?
There's
a
number
who's
a
bit
of
discussion
on
that.
D
But,
of
course,
that
is
something
when
we're
getting
into
next
year
will
be
much
more
of
a
bigger
discussion
and
I
think
there
will
have
to
be
some
decisions
made
similar
to
when
we
had
the
nine
over
nine
for
water
rate.
We
may
find
that
we
may
have
to
do
I
wouldn't
say
that
high
at
all,
but
we
may
look
at
having
to
do
some
sort
of
long
term,
two
or
three
year
rate
increase
to
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
the
cap,
investments
that
we
need
to
do
now.
D
What
did
come
to
the
committee
by
a
few
deputations
and
it
got
a
bit
of
a
notice
out
in
the
media-
was
the
rebate
system
or
rebates?
That's
not
part
of
the
recommendations
here,
as
counsel
or
executive
will
be
reminded
that
we
made
the
decision
last
year
to
phase
out
the
rebate
program
over
three
years,
which
is
really
the
true
cost
of
garbage
collection.
D
We
will
be
dealing
with
that
in
the
operating
budget
in
in
January,
so
this
is
not
before
you
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
aware
that,
but
other
than
that
just
want
to
again
thank
the
staff.
Of
course.
The
committee
for
the
great
work
that
did
on
this
particular
budget
and
I
just
want
to
recommend
it.
C
Thank
You
councillor
Crawford
are
there
others
wishing
to
speak
on
the
waste
solid
waste
rate
supported
budget
for
2020?
Okay?
Well,
just
echo
councillor
Crawford's
a
vote
of
thanks
not
just
for
the
budget,
but
for
a
job
generally
well
done.
I
mean
I.
Think
people
again
you
come
to
take
it
for
granted,
which
is
in
a
way
as
it
should
be.
C
But
it's
very
well
done
it's
more
complicated
than
people
think,
and
there
are
some
long-term
issues
that
we
will
address,
as
well
as
the
rebate
issue
which
we
will
address
as
people
wish
during
the
time
of
the
operating
budget
discussion.
So
if
there
are
no
other
speakers,
I
will
then
call
the
question
on
item
e
ex
11.3.
The
e-rate
supported
recommendation,
guys
assume
councillor
Crawford's
moved
that
recommendation.
C
All
those
in
favor
opposed
carry
an
X,
then
that
brings
us
to
item
IX
11.6,
which
was
being
held
for
deputations
and
the
first
a
deputation
was
from
Michael
Rosenberg
Michael.
Still
here,
I
didn't
see
him
after
lunch,
but
will
stand
that
down
in
case
he
comes
in
the
next.
The
next
deputed
was
Carla
Villanueva,
denying
Parkdale
activity,
Recreation
Center.
E
Good
day,
good
afternoon
to
the
members
of
the
executive
committee,
my
name
is
Carla
via
nueva
Danone
and
I'm,
a
resident
of
South
Park,
Dale
I'm,
a
staff
member
of
Parkdale
activity,
recreation
center,
working
specifically
on
the
park
Dale
people's
economy
project,
which
is
a
local
community,
economic
development
project
and
network
of
over
30
agencies
serving
Parkdale
residents
and
community
members
across
employment
services,
settlement
services
and
overall
well-being,
I'm
also
a
volunteer
at
kebabian
multicultural
center.
One
of
the
anchor
agencies
located
at
the
site
of
the
hub.
That
is
up
for
discussion
today.
E
My
following
comments
have
been
informed
by
feedback
collected
at
various
community,
led
engagement
processes
conducted
over
the
past
two
years
by
Parkdale
people's
economy,
Parkdale,
neighborhood,
land
trust,
Park,
Dale
residents
Association,
as
well
as
conversations
with
fleur-de-lys
vandal,
the
executive
director
at
kebabian
and
my
own
experiences
as
a
park
dealer
resident
and
community
member.
The
quick
summary
of
what
I'm
about
to
share
is:
yes,
please
do
approve
this
report
as
it
is
today,
so
we
can
get
moving
on
to
phase
2
of
the
park.
E
Dale
community
hub
the
community
is
itching
and
to
move
into
this
new
phase
to
the
second
phase,
so
that
we
can
start
to
have
decision-making
conversations
on
how
this
hub
will
be
community
led
community
designed
and
community
governed
to
get
things
started
and
perhaps
shake
up
the
tone.
A
little
bit.
I'm
gonna
tell
you
how
my
Saturday
morning
went
on
my
way
to
an
appointment.
I
walked
past
the
park,
Dale
library
just
prior
to
their
doors,
opening
at
9:00
a.m.
E
and
I
saw
no
less
than
20
community
members
standing
outside
on
the
icy
sidewalk
in
feels
like
minus
8
weather,
a
quick
scan
of
the
group
and
I
could
see
shades
of
brown
skin
peeking
out
under
the
scarves,
I
saw
young
fathers
holding
their
toddlers
and
bundled
up
community
elders,
leaning
against
the
cold
brick
walls
for
support.
The
group
was
a
mix
of
ages,
races,
genders
and
more
all
bundled
up
in
winter
coats
on
this
chilly
past
Saturday
morning,
waiting
for
a
place
they
could
just
be
with
one
another.
E
After
my
appointment
an
hour
later,
I
started
to
walk
west
on
Queen
Street
towards
Francis
veils
and
spotted.
Yet
another
group
of
no
less
than
20
people
and
families
standing
outside
in
line
to
enter
Park
waiting
for
their
turn
to
fill
their
carts
with
food
from
the
Parkdale
Food
Bank.
I
share
this
anecdote
with
you
to
highlight
the
urgency
of
moving
this
work
forward.
We
don't
have
time
to
wait.
We
want
Phase.
Two
now
Park
Deal
has
historically
been
unique
in
its
cultivation
of
community
spirit.
E
Park
still
has
historically
been
the
most
welcoming
neighborhood
for
newcomers,
immigrants,
racialized,
folks,
low-income
folks,
consumer
survivors.
The
work
I
support
at
Parkdale
people's
economy
emerged
as
a
direct
response
to
the
aggressive
private
development
pressures
encroaching
on
the
community
from
those
neighborhood
neighbouring
Eastern
communities
or
neighborhoods
of
West
Queen
West
and
Liberty
Village
Park
Dale's,
affordable
housing
stock
is
being
eroded
by
wider
market
financialization
and
property
speculation.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
myself
again
this
month,
I
celebrate
my
three
year
anniversary
of
moving
into
my
current
South
Park
Dale
one-bedroom
in
June
2019.
E
Just
six
months
ago,
another
apartment
of
the
exact
same
configuration
on
my
floor
was
for
rent
at
40%
more
than
what
I
was
paying
as
an
in-place
tenant.
This
pressure
is
untenable
and
I
recognize
my
own
positionality
as
someone
with
mostly
full-time
work
and
generally
low
lower
barriers
compared
to
some
of
my
neighbors
securing
meaningful
participation
in
the
workforce
in
South
Park
deal.
E
90%
of
residents
are
renters
many
renters,
who
have
already
been
displaced
from
their
mother
lands,
I
think
about
the
thousands
of
Tibetan
residents
concentrated
on
that
Jameson
corridor
from
the
waterfront
to
Queen
Street,
and
how
this
community
has
continued
to
survive
and
thrive,
self-organizing
with
a
limited
state
and
interest
institutional
support.
In
summary,
practice
is
a
vibrant
neighborhood
because
of
the
people
who
are
living
there
in
place
today.
It's
a
spirit
that
has
been
fostered
over
several
decades
by
community
members
who
are
either
no
longer
with
us
or
have
been
priced
out
of
their
homes.
E
We
especially
would
urge
Council
to
move
forward
in
person
purchasing
the
adjacent
properties
to
ensure
that
deeply
affordable
housing
is
developed,
that
this
site
continues
to
nurture
that
spirit
that
Parkdale
is
welcoming
and
that
the
people
who
have
built
that
that
spirit
continue
to
enjoy
it.
Thank.
C
A
Thank
You
Phil
did
have
to
leave,
but
he
wanted
me
to
convey
how
much
he
values
his
partnership
with
the
city
at
13:30,
gallery
1313
and
asked
me
to
show
things
like
the
doors
open
for
sure,
so
I'm
doing
that
on
Phil's
behalf
and
obviously
I'll
be
speaking
to
gallery
1313
because
they're
a
partner
and
tenant
in
the
building.
So
thank
you,
Mary
members
of
the
executive
committee.
A
My
name
is
Laurie
and
Gervin
and
I
am
senior
advisor
for
social
purpose,
real
estate
at
Artscape,
new
role
having
previously
served
as
CEO
and
in
this
role
I'm
leading
our
work
to
oversee
our
commitment
to
renewing
the
existing
mix
juice
cultural
assets
that
Artscape
has
created
across
the
city,
as
well
as
supporting
investment
in
priority
neighborhoods
outside
the
downtown
core,
such
as
in
Weston,
where
we
just
opened
up
an
art,
scape
West
incoming
the
Parkdale
Arts
and
Cultural
Center
at
1313.
Queen
West
is
one
of
these
public
assets.
A
We're
here
today
to
speak
to
item
11.6,
the
Parkdale
hub
and
as
Carla.
We
fully
support
the
request
to
fund
the
phase,
2
analysis
and
potential
acquisition
as
the
partner
operating
1313
Queen.
West
for
over
20
years,
we
have
a
strong
stake
in
the
neighborhood
and
want
to
ensure
that
the
core
values
and
spirit
of
Parkdale
are
upheld
founded
over
30
years
ago.
Artscape
is
an
urban
development
organization
that
makes
space
for
creativity
and
works
to
support
positive
transformation
in
communities.
A
Our
14
projects
in
operation
uniquely
combine
the
range
of
spaces
needed
to
ensure
that
arts
and
cultural
opportunities
for
all
to
deepen
the
impact
of
the
toronto
arts
sector
and
enrich
the
quality
of
life
in
our
city.
Our
spaces
include
affordable,
live
work,
work,
studios
for
artists,
office
and
program,
space
for
organizations
gallery
and
theater
spaces
artist,
residency
spaces
and
more
three
of
art
escapes
properties
are
in
municipal
assets
that
are
no
longer
in
use
for
their
original
civic
purpose.
A
All
three
are
also
heritage
properties,
so,
for
example,
Artscape
which
would
Barnes,
which
has
a
50-year
lease
and
for
which
art's
gave
raise
23
million
in
capital
support
turned
this
year.
One
of
our
oldest
projects
is,
in
fact
the
Parkdale
arts
and
cultural
center
and
it's
quite
frankly,
an
extraordinary
model
of
repurposing,
a
civic
asset
really
representing
best
practice
through
community
visioning
and
great
design,
it's
mixed
juice
with
affordable
housing
and
community
space.
A
So
it
was
really
ahead
of
its
time
and
reflects
the
principles
that
the
city
is
now
aspiring
to
achieve
on
other
city
properties,
particularly
through
the
housing
tio
sites,
and
indeed
we're
delighted
to
add
our
support
to
Queen
Kao
and
also
being
included
as
a
housing
tio
site
in
2016
Artscape
reached
out
to
set
in
motion
a
renewal
of
its
20-year
lease
at
Parkdale,
Arts
and
Cultural
Centre.
Recognizing
that
a
20-year
term
would
not
provide
for
the
security
of
tenure
needed
to
create
a
permanent
community
asset
and
attract
investment
in
building
renewal.
A
Artscape
requested
a
longer-term
lease
or
even
a
title
transfer.
Instead,
the
city
responded
with
a
five-year
lease
initially
under
the
emergence
emerging
community
space,
tenancy
policy.
Not
surprisingly,
we
expressed
concern
that
a
vital
community
hub
with
affordable
housing
could
be
put
into
short
term
tenancy.
A
Artscape
agreed
to
join
preliminary
coordination
meetings
based
on
three
premises
that
any
future
redevelopment
would
include
a
home
for
the
residential
and
community
tenants
at
13-13
with
Queen
West
that
the
amount
of
live
work
and
community
space
would
meet
and
ideally
exceed
what
is
currently
provided,
and
that
a
renewed
lease
would
specify
this
commitment.
After
over
two
years
earlier
this
year,
we
at
long
last
received
a
draft
five-year
lease
we're
grateful
to
the
city
for
working
through
some
awkward
lease
terms,
including
getting
us
a
one-year
termination.
A
However,
the
step
does
not
overcome
a
core
gap
that
the
lease
does
not
provide
security
of
tenure
or
include
the
original
bridging
language
commitment
of
a
guarantee
of
space
for
non-residential
partners.
Therefore,
although
live
work,
tenants
have
protection
under
the
RTI
municipal,
bylaws
Artscape
and
our
community
partners
who
have
served
the
neighborhood
from
their
home
at
13-13,
since
its
opening,
including
kebab
kebab
ioan,
the
bia
and
gallery
1313,
have
no
guarantee
to
date.
A
Nevertheless,
based
on
the
potential
to
do
more
with
the
site,
as
well
as
the
dedication
of
the
councillor,
our
residents
and
partners
have
come
to
the
table
and
consultations
in
good
faith,
open-minded
and
focused
on
creating
a
park
deal
that
embraces
its
inclusion,
diversity
and
creativity
and
I
do
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
create
geo
planning
and
the
counselor's
office,
as
well
as
our
partner
organizations
like
P
and
L
T
in
Parkdale,
for
incredible
engagement.
We're
here
today
to
wholeheartedly
encourage
you
to
support
funding
the
phase
2
an
additional
site
acquisition.
A
This
isn't
easy.
It
means
that
our
residential
tenants
who
love
their
apartments
could
be
relocated
as
new
homes
are
designed.
It
means
that
our
community
partners
who
have
tirelessly
provided
services
in
the
neighborhood
might
have
different
space,
both
temporarily
and
permanently,
but
we
welcome
the
additional
design
work
in
planning
that
could
translate
the
experiences
of
our
Parkdale
arts
and
cultural
residents
and
community
tenants
into
high-quality
live
work
homes
for
our
nine
current
households.
A
We
would
also
advocate
an
additional
20
to
30,
affordable
units
for
artists,
LED
families,
and
we
believe
that
the
process
could
yield
increased
state
of
the
art,
community
and
office
space,
as
well
as
permanent
anchor
gallery
space
for
gallery
1313
and
anchor
space
for
our
two
partners.
The
BIA
and
Kappa
bian.
All.
C
F
You
know,
obviously,
the
project
will
bring
forth
a
lot
of
important
facilities
and
mostly
seems
to
to
fit
in
with
scale.
There
were
some
issues
with
how
the
frontage
would
actually
fit
with
the
the
Parkdale
Queen
Street
plan,
but
I'm
I.
Imagine
that
those
can
be
worked
out.
So
my
main
real
issue
here
is
with
how
the
project
is
structured
and
I
would
suggest
that
there
are
a
number
of
different
models
that
exist
and
that
the
best
one
is
from
from
the
existing
ones.
F
I
think
it
can
be
further
improved
upon,
but
from
the
existing
ways
that
the
the
city
manages
these
kinds
of
facilities.
The
best
one
is
the
the
board
of
management
type
plan
that
it
exists
under
the
association
of
community
centers.
I
would
say
that
this
also
relates
somewhat
to
the
Etobicoke
Centre,
which
is
which
is
on
the
agenda,
but
I
won't
be
here
at
that
time.
F
So
I'll
just
say
that
that
that
Civic
Center
approach
is
also
important
and
that
the
the
local
board
of
management
approach
works,
but
the
two
methods
that
I
think
are
not
as
applicable
are
the
parks,
forestry
and
recreation
running
things.
As
recreation
centers
and
then
sort
of
fitting
in
a
bit
of
a
community
center
element,
I,
don't
think
that
works
as
well.
F
The
other
one
that
I
think
really
doesn't
work
at
all
is,
and
this
is
what
the
term
hub
often
means
and
which
is
why
I'm
concerned
about
the
use
of
the
term
hub,
because
I
definitely
don't
want
it
to
turn
into
this
type
of
thing,
which
is
the
give
it
to
an
NGO
and
call
them
the
lead
or
the
head
tenant,
and
then
let
them
figure
out
who
else
gets
to
use
the
space?
I
think
that
is
the
worst
possible
model
and
I
really
hope
it
doesn't
go
in
that
direction.
F
Just
you
know
mention
that
the
two
problems
which
are
partially
but
not
completely
solved
by
the
AOC
C
model
are
one
is
the
struggle
for
power
and
politics
that
exists
within
certainly
within
NGOs,
which
is
why
I
would
not
go
for
that
model
at
all,
but
it
still
can't
exist
to
a
certain
extent,
with
any
kind
of
model,
that's
based
on
a
board.
So
that
is
something
to
be
concerned
about
it.
F
I
think
it
should
be
recognized
that
that
it's
not
necessarily
the
role-
and
this
is
you
know,
a
broader
context
thing,
but
in
my
opinion,
it's
not
necessarily
the
role
of
the
city
to
have
a
policy
on
everything
and
to
try
to
make
everybody
run
according
to
the
policy.
So
a
abortive
management
certainly
helps,
but
that
the
more
that
that
can
be
sort
of
set
outside
of
the
city's
policy
frameworks
to
me
that's
more
of
an
advantage
and
a
disadvantage.
I
know
that
the
communic
attitude
would
be.
F
But
if
you
set
something
outside
of
the
policy
frameworks,
then
the
policies
won't
be
followed.
The
policies
are
good.
Not
following
them
is
bad.
Bad
things
will
happen.
I
would
say
that
actually,
policies
are.
We
have
too
many
policies
and
the
more
things
we
can
provide
more
flexibility
on,
and
freedom
for,
people
to
just
organize
and
do
things
their
own
ways.
F
C
B
B
We
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
before
the
executive
committee
on
behalf
of
Parkdale
project
Reid,
a
community-based
Literacy
Center,
serving
the
Parkdale
neighborhood
for
over
30
years.
Parkdale
project
Reid
is
a
learner-centered
trauma-informed
organization
that
builds
a
range
of
literacy,
skills,
knowledge
and
competencies,
to
support
adults
in
their
efforts
to
gain
personal
independence,
expand
their
employment
opportunities
and
or
pursue
further
education.
Since
our
founding
by
dr.
Rita
Cox
in
the
park,
Dale
Public
Library
in
the
1980s,
our
work
has
been
firmly
rooted
in
the
park,
Dale
neighborhood
and
its
diverse
communities.
B
B
Unfortunately,
like
many
local
organizations,
we
have
felt
the
rising
pressures
of
gentrification
and
commercial
development
in
Parkdale.
We
are
currently
surviving
on
a
month-to-month
lease
at
King
and
Dufferin
and
entered
and
enters
intersection
undergoing
massive
transformation
and
development
to
make
way
for
luxury
condominiums.
Meanwhile,
our
sibling
organizations
in
Parkdale
and
frankly
across
the
city
are
being
squeezed
out
by
rising
grants,
sudden
evictions
and
a
culture
of
social
service,
austerity
that
disregards
the
needs
and
desires
of
vulnerable
and
underserved
communities.
B
In
our
view,
the
proposed
Parkdale
hub
presents
a
critical
opportunity
to
reclaim
space
resources
and
visibility
for
the
organizations
and
community
resources
that
have
always
supported
the
health,
safety
and
success
of
all
Parkdale
residents,
not
just
those
who
can
afford
prime
real
estate
as
a
community
literacy
organization.
Parkdale
project
read,
is
an
essential
companion
to
the
Parkdale
library
and
Masri
cowan
center.
Our
programs
and
services
empower
learners
to
advocate
for
themselves
and
contribute
fully
to
building
a
sustainable
community
in
Parkdale,
as
Parkdale
continues
to
change.
B
It
is
vital
that
city
planners
and
private
developers
negotiate
with
and
earnestly
support
the
people
and
services
that
sustain
this
neighborhood.
Securing
and
preserving
permanent
dedicated
space
for
community
organizations
is
one
of
the
most
important
aspects
of
this
work.
Many
learners
and
community
members
describe
Parkdale
project
read
as
a
home
away
from
home,
a
second
living
room,
a
much-needed
sanctuary.
These
feelings
are,
of
course,
about
more
than
four
walls
in
a
roof,
but
space
is
the
anchor
from
which
we
built
connections,
deepen
the
relationships
and
sustain
our
communities.
Thank
you.
C
G
You
so
much
and
hi
everyone.
My
name
is
Mercedes
chef,
Zayas
and
I
work
for
the
Parkdale
people's
economy
along
with
Karla.
As
she
mentioned,
we
are
a
network
of
over
30
different
community-based
organizations,
many
of
whom
are
currently
housed
within
the
proposed
community
hub,
as
well
as
hundreds
of
residents
fighting
for
economic,
racial
and
climate
justice
in
Parkdale
I'm
here
today
to
voice
my
support
for
the
feasibility
study
of
the
community
hub
and
wanted
to
raise
a
specific
focus
on
the
need
for
deeply
affordable
housing
and
the
expansion
of
social
ownership
on
public
lands.
G
In
2016,
the
Parque
de
l'eau
people's
economy
launched
the
Parkdale
community
planning
study,
which
was
an
18-month
participatory
planning
process
that
was
deeply
embedded
in
community
visions
for
wellbeing,
shared
wealth
and
equitable
development.
Within
one
of
the
core
areas
for
community
action
and
policy,
we
identified
that
there
was
the
publicly
owned
assets
within
the
corner
of
Queen
and
Callan,
which
had
a
significant
opportunity
to
bolster
social
infrastructure
through
a
community
hub.
We
were
thrilled
when
this
opportunity
was
championed
by
the
local
councillor,
Gord,
perks
and
approved
by
council.
G
Yet
the
community
had
big
dreams
for
the
site,
dreams
that
exceeded
the
limits
of
what's
traditionally
been
created
within
community
hubs,
or
even
in
the
city's
current
housing
models.
This
was
the
dream
of
100%
social
housing
on
public
lands.
The
creation
of
affordable
housing
on
this
site
was
seen
as
a
critical
measure
for
the
city
to
address
the
housing
crisis
through
the
lens
of
housing
as
a
human
right.
G
Therefore,
I
wanted
to
voice
my
strong
support
for
the
recommendations,
especially
in
terms
of
the
acquisition
of
additional
lands
for
public
use
and
the
funding
necessary
to
build
these
visions.
I
would
add
a
slight
caveat,
though,
which
challenges
the
housing
now
model,
which
is
to
follow
the
community's
debt
demand
for
there
to
be
100%
social
housing.
As
we
know,
Parkdale
is
a
neighborhood
that
is
deeply
impacted
by
poverty.
1/3
of
community
members
are
low-income
and
20%
rely
on
social
assistance,
where
the
city's
current
definition
of
affordable
housing
falls
far
out
of
reach.
G
90%
of
South
Park
Deal
residents
are
renters,
meaning
that
displacement
pressures
are
incredibly
high.
As
we
see
rents
continue
to
rise.
So
there
are
opportunities
to
build
bold
new
visions
through
collaborative
models
with
the
municipal,
provincial
and
federal
funding,
alternative
finance
mechanisms
and
partnerships
with
social
housing
providers
such
as
cooperatives,
social
housing
providers
like
supportive
housing
providers,
indigenous
provided
housing
providers
and
the
brought
for
broader
nonprofit
sector.
G
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Are
there
questions
of
the
dividend
Oh
any
questions?
No,
ok
going
once
going
well.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
patience,
waiting
to
speak
with
us.
Ok
was
there
anybody
else
that
wanted.
He
heard
on
this
issue
that
wasn't
registered
here.
I
think
we
heard
from
everybody
that
was
listed
on
11.6
and
that
would
move
us
long
and
to
questions
of
staff.
Are
there,
questions
have
sat
okay,
seeing
none
then
we
could
move
along
to
speakers,
and
would
you
like
to
be
first
class
of
first
or.
H
Just
I'll
just
take
a
moment
or
two
of
your
time
to
give
you
a
bit
of
a
feel
for
what's
going
on
here.
So
the
report
in
front
of
you
really
does
three
things.
It
sets
aside
some
resources
for
further
project
design
and
consultation,
specifically
getting
it
ready
for
us
being
able
to
come
in
with
a
rezoning
application,
which
obviously
requires
a
bunch
of
work.
H
By
way
of
background,
you
heard
a
piece
of
it
today,
Artscape
their
lease
on
a
portion
of
this
site
ran
out.
At
the
same
time,
the
community
center,
their
Mazurek
cowan,
was
scheduled
to
do
major
repairs
and
renovations
to
the
building
and
within
the
10
year,
capital
plan,
the
local
library
branch,
which
is
at
the
same
intersection
as
the
other
two
properties,
was
scheduled
to
get
a
fairly
serious
piece
of
work
done
there
and
I
became
aware
all
these
pieces
were
going
to
happen
at
the
same
time
and
it
occurred
to
me.
H
Why
would
you
do
each
of
these
as
a
separate
capital
project?
Why
wouldn't
you
try
to
see
if
there
are
efficient
he's
available
by
tying
all
the
work
together
and
with
the
help
of
councillor
Thompson
I
brought
a
motion
to
council
directing
city
staff?
At
that
time
it
was
Social,
Development,
Finance
administration,
leading
it
to
pull
together
all
the
different
departments
in
the
City
of
Toronto,
who
need
unused
space
in
working
with
the
community
to
see,
if
they
add
an
interest
in
this
project,
whether
they
were
there
currently
or
not.
H
At
one
point,
shelter,
housing
and
support
was
looking
at
maybe
putting
some
shelter
space
here,
but
the
timing
turned
out
not
to
be
right
for
them.
Other
departments
that
don't
currently
operate
there
are
expressing
some
interest
in
maybe
partnering,
on
an
expanded
site.
You
should
know
there
are
within
the
city
owned
facilities
there,
the
Parkdale
library,
for
example,
which
is
the
busiest
branch
library
in
the
City
of
Toronto
work
with
provide
homes
to
a
variety
of
community
groups.
You've
heard
from
a
representative
who
was
speaking
on
behalf
of
kebabian,
which
is
a
Filipino
settlement
organization.
H
That's
one
of
22
different
community
organizations
that
currently
lease
space
or
have
shared
space
agreements
with
the
City
of
Toronto
in
the
different
facilities.
Here
there
is
also
a
teepee
a
lot
and
nearby
there's
a
Toronto
Community
Housing
property,
we're
looking
at
maybe
whether
the
parking
garage
under
the
TPA
under
the
TCH
C
building
could
take
the
TPA
and
free
up
the
surface
parking
lot.
H
So,
given
all
that
today,
we're
finished
the
first
piece
of
work,
which
was
to
consult
with
the
community
and
all
the
different
agencies
and
tenants
and
city
departments,
we
have
a
rough
massing
of
what
we
want
to
do
and
you're
being
asked.
Give
us
the
money
to
do
the
second
stage.
Look
at
a
purchase
and
direct,
create
tio2
continue
the
conversation
with
city,
community
agencies
and
community
members
I
encourage
you
to
support
this.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
That's
fair
I
certainly
want
to
thank
council
perks
for
his
leadership
on
this
particular
matter.
I
know
how
important
it
was
to
him
sure
what's
happening
there
and
and
how
important
was
to
him
and
we're
hearing
from
his
community
how
important
it
is
to
him
and
the
community
and
they're
here
to
speak
in
support
I,
don't
want
to
say
that
I
support
this
request
so
heartily
the
processes
is
one
in
which
all
of
the
moving
parts
are
being
looked
at
and
it's
looking
at
consolidation
and
so
on.
I
I
have
two
hubs
in
my
ward
and
I
can
tell
you
the
significance
of
them
they're
extremely
valuable
to
all
the
different
community
groups
and
organizations
in
agency,
and
so
on,
and
often
it's
it's
a
matter
of
space
for
people
to
gather,
to
convene
and
to
have
that
assurance
that
they
can
thrash
through
and
sort
out
community
problems
and
trying
to
identify
some
of
the
challenges
and
so
on
and
the
opportunity
that
it
brings.
But
it
also
gives
people
a
real.
I
And
it's
a
rare
situation
in
which
they
have
the
ability
to
use
space
for
the
intended
purposes,
and
you
see
the
benefits.
The
first
hub
in
my
award
is
the
grimly
and
Ellesmere
hub.
We
have
a
medical
facility
in
there.
We
have
dental
facility.
In
there
we
have
been
cooking
facility,
helping
residents
with
diabetes.
I
Most
recently,
we
opened
up
a
lounge
for
young
people
there
or
facility
to
help
them
to
come
in
to
meet
and
to
talk
and
to
share
and
to
kind
of
work
through
some
of
the
challenges
and
the
benefit
that
has
come
from
that
community.
It's
it's
complete.
Metamorphosis
have
taken
place
because
what
has
happened
was,
whereas
it
was
once
a
more
depressed
area.
It's
more
vibrant,
it's
more
lively,
there's,
more
activities,
more
that's
taking
place
and
the
benefits
to
the
community
is
is
quite
as
significant.
I
You
see
the
utility
just
watching
people
and
satisfaction
that
comes
the
second
one
is
the
Kennedy
hub
at
1911
Kennedy
Road.
Just
two
weeks
ago.
We
use
that
hop.
We
were
working
with
the
residents
in
the
Glamorgan,
an
Antrim
area
to
set
up
a
resident
lead
community
driven
initiative
to
provide
opportunities
to
address
some
of
the
issues
around
violence
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
the
residents
are
here
they're
having.
I
We
have
a
food
bank
in
there
we
are
able
to
provide
services
to
more
residents
and
so
on
and
again
space,
which
is
such
an
important
element
for
residents
to
be
able
to
utilize,
and
so
this
process,
as
part
of
the
feasibility
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
it
actually
come
to
realization.
And
it's
something
that
we're
gonna.
We
have
to
do
it's
something
that
we
must
do
because
it's
necessary,
and
if
we
don't
do
it,
we
will
see
and
have
as
evolution
in
other
areas
not
cross.
I
If
you
will,
the
pond
I
look
at
certain
area
in
France,
where
there's
some
huge
challenges
and
gyms
and
new
people
coming
in
and
trying
to
settle
them,
don't
have
the
amenities
and
so
on.
Look
at
areas
in
Montreal
and
other
areas
like
that,
where
they're
challenged,
because
there
isn't
that
investment
into
community
in
creating
the
space
and
creating
an
environment
that
allow
residents
to
be
able
to
to
come
to
come
together
and
to
build
on
what
are
the
fundamental
tools
of
success.
I
But
we
engage
the
residents
who
help
them
to
to
do
more
for
themselves,
so
fully
support
this
and
can't
wait
to
see
the
hub
opening
and
to
provide
for
the
residents
the
needed
space
in
order
to
allow
them
to
be
able
to
be
empowered,
because
I
think
that's
part
of
the
facilitation
of
having
a
hub
in
the
community.
So
looking
forward
to
supporting
in
this
mr.
mayor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
again.
Cancer
and
thank
the
community
as
well.
Of
course,.
C
Taking
all
of
these
I
won't
call
them
disparate
all
these
separate
departments
and
land
and
operators
and
people
who
are
many
of
them
in
the
public
domain
and
bring
them
together
in
fashion
out
of
that,
something
that
I
think
will
be
truly
special.
So
I,
just
you
know,
if
you
look
at
the
amount
of
money,
that's
involved
to
take
this.
C
C
We
didn't
always
know
exactly
what
we're
gonna
do,
but
I
think
in
this
case
we
will
find
what
we
need
to
find
in
order
to
test
the
city
manager
has
said
in
order
to
make
this
happen,
because
I
think
it's
something
in
the
neighborhood
that
you
know
richly
deserves.
We've
heard
the
evidence
that
from
people
who
came
to
speak,
which
also
shows
the
value
of
the
deputations
hidden,
even
though
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
questions
for
them,
that's
because
I
think
we
understood
what
they're
saying
is
true.
C
So
in
any
event,
I'm
also
very
supportive
of
this
and
onward
it
goes,
and
if
I
was
to
be
in
a
position
to
ask
you
questions
now:
I'm,
not
I
just
saw
the
q2
2020
and
I.
Always
when
I
see
that,
as
as
the
city
manager
knows,
I
always
ask
a
question
about
that
and
push
back
a
little
bit
and
say:
couldn't
we
do
it
any
faster,
but
I
guess
it's
great
teal
will
do
its
work
as
fast
as
it
can
and
take
it
from
there.
C
Okay,
if
there
are
no
other
questions
or
comments,
you're
gonna
move
the
recommendation.
Councillor
Thompson
Thank,
You
deputy
we're
all
right.
All
those
in
favor,
move
by
deputy
mayor
Thompson
opposed
carried
very
good.
Thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
11.7
e.x
11.7
and
it
was
held
for
a
deputy
and
that
deputy
the
same
as
Wilson
and
there
he
is
taking
his
place.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
you
know
the
rules
here,
five
minutes
and
there
may
be
a
questioners
here.
Thank.
J
You
for
your
welcome
and
punctuality
and
returning
to
the
committee
room
at
lunch,
merit
re
this
particular
issue:
I'm
ambivalent,
on
the
land
itself
and
everything
it's
probably
really
valuable,
including
the
air
rights.
It
may
be
an
old
core
asset
I'm,
not
sure
of
the
history,
of
how
the
Union
Station
was
built
and
who
gave
the
land
and
what
level
of
taxpayer
coughed
up
to
build.
It
I
do
hope
that
we
will
respect
the
taxpayers.
Certainly
it's
like
the
Union
Station
itself.
This
deal
is
kind
of
complicated
in
the
situation
is
complicated
as
well.
J
I'm,
certainly
not
opposed
to
expropriation
at
times,
I
think
it's
very,
very
helpful
and
overdue
in
some
instances,
such
as
such
as
out
at
Dundas
West
in
Kiel,
and
perhaps
we
also
need
to
do
such
things
out
at
Main
and
Danforth
as
well
to
improve
the
interconnectivity
between
the
goal
and
the
TDC.
So
on
one
hand,
yes,
we
should
cooperate
and
do
as
the
recommendation
suggests.
Not
fuss
at
all
goal
is
very
helpful
to
Toronto,
especially
the
core.
J
This
roughly
shows
just
the
degree
to
which
the
goal
brings
in
a
lot
of
people
into
the
core,
the
garden
or
less
so
much.
The
TTC
does
the
heavy
lifting-
and
this
particular
chart
shows
just
the
incredible
result
of
the
incremental
intensification
and
improvement
that
go
was
done
over
the
years
in
terms
of
bringing
in
the
many
thousands
of
people
that
we
have
so
goals
done
an
awful
lot
of
good
work
for
us,
and
yet
it's
also
sometimes
a
bit
challenged,
but
but
on
the
positive
of
yes
cooperating.
J
J
That's
linear
just
very,
very
nearby
to
this
particular
strip
of
land
and
say
give
to
of
six
of
those
lanes
to
a
bus
way
or
something
it'll
be
great.
If
they,
you
could
somehow
manage
to
work
in
the
Gardner
with
this
particular
expropriation
package,
because
we
do
need
to
have
more
transit,
because
the
Union
Station
is
getting
to
be
brittle,
noted
in
this
rapid
transit
in
Toronto
booked
and
for
anybody
that
actually
uses
it
as
well.
J
It's
getting
to
the
point
where
we
really
need
to
decon
--scent
rate,
the
the
intensity
of
usage
and
that's
not
necessarily
in
the
plans.
So
in
terms
of
going
for
and
I'd
like
to.
You
know
a
leverage
point
for
for
saying.
No.
Is
that
I
really
like
to
have
information
about
why
we
can't
increase
the
usage
of
the
Richmond
Hill
goal
line
quickly,
to
avoid
the
need
for
that
young
extension
in
particular,
because
it
seems
like
it's
an
obvious
way
to
actually
take
train
loads
of
people
off
the
Yonge
Street
subway,
which
again
is
brittle.
J
J
J
We
haven't
done
this
front
street
transit
way
or
a
roadway,
but
on
the
north
side
of
the
Weston
tracks,
I
think
there's
enough
room
for
at
least
a
single
track
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
an
idea
that
if
we
looped
the
streetcar
like
did
a
loop
of
a
reversible
Jarvis
style,
transit
way
and
only
transit
way
on
the
north
side
from
Queen
or
even
King
in
to
and
reintroduce
transit
onto
Front
Street.
This
would
actually
be
a
really
helpful
thing
to
increase
our
resiliency
and
the
efficiency
of
the
network.
J
That's
just
and,
and
it
got
modeled
out,
here's
a
better,
better
sense
of
what
could
be
done.
You
can
send
the
vehicles
back
out
on
queen
or
king
as
well.
That's
the
sort
of
thing
that,
where
we've
had
cooperation
instead
of
money,
that'd
be
really
helpful,
there
are
other
other
options.
Last
one
yep
other
options,
I
think
swapping
out
the
half
mile
spur
line
with
the
rail
trail
up
there
to
try
and
get
relief,
surface
relief
and
squeeze
the
billions
so
you'll
do
what
you'll
do
our
duck?
Tater
will
do
what
people
do.
C
Thank
you
as
well
some
other
questions
of
the
deputy
okay.
Thank
you
very
much,
so
that
was
the
only
deputed
on
that
item
eleven
point.
Seven.
The
next
issue
would
be
whether
there's
any
questions
of
staff
all
right
speakers.
Otherwise
we
have
confluency
I'm
moving
the
recommendation
and
I'll
ask
her
the
question.
Then
all
those
in
favor
opposed
Carrie.
Thank
you.
I
C
L
My
name
is
rosemary
Powell,
the
executive
director
of
the
Toronto
community
benefits
network
Thank,
You,
mayor
Tory
and
members
of
the
executive
committee,
we'd
like
to
start
off
by
thanking
the
city
for
bringing
forward
this
report
and
the
support
that
the
city
has
shown
throughout
the
entire
year
with
the
casino
Woodbine
project
in
the
working
groups
in
leading
the
implementation
of
the
community
benefits
agreement.
So
in
2018,
our
network
members
were
active
in
supporting
the
Rexdale
Rising
campaign,
a
local
initiative
to
secure
a
binding
CBA
for
the
Woodbine
casino
and
entertainment
expansion
in
Rexdale.
L
L
We
did
want
to
highlight
one
area
of
concern
in
today's
deputation.
We
feel
that
the
city's
definition
of
social
hire
is
very
broad
and
it
does
not
reflect
the
deep-rooted
history
of
residents
in
Rexdale,
particularly
the
city
defines
social
hire
as
Aboriginal
peoples,
persons
with
disabilities,
racialized
groups,
invisible
minorities,
women,
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual
trans,
queer,
two-spirit
communities,
undocumented
individuals,
newcomers,
immigrants
and
refugees,
persons
with
low
income
and
youth.
Basically
saying
that
this
is
quite
a
broad
definition
that
would
probably
reach
about
80%
of
the
population
of
Toronto.
L
So
while
we
agree
that
it
is
important
to
track
and
monitor
aggregated
hiring
data,
we
would
like
to
see
a
more
targeted
approach
to
support
those
who
need
employment
opportunities.
The
most,
for
example.
We
know
that
youth
from
civic
demographics
face
multiple
barriers
to
employment.
We
would
like
to
see
this
reflected
in
the
hiring
process
to
ensure
that
these
candidates
are
prioritized
and
are
given
the
necessary
support
to
help
them
to
succeed.
L
We
acknowledge
the
emphasis
the
city
staff
have
indicated
on
ensuring
construction.
Apprenticeships
are
accessible
and
available
to
local
youth,
as
well
as
indigenous
peoples
and
youth
from
specific
equity
seeking
groups
in
Rexdale.
Similarly,
we
would
like
to
see
this
approach
extended
to
operational
positions
as
well.
So
at
the
TCB
n,
we
have
seen
the
impact
that
the
community
benefits
opportunities
on
projects
like
this
can
have
on
the
city's
most
marginalized
residents.
These
opportunities
provide
a
foot
in
the
door
to
a
well-paying
unionized
career,
which
we
first-hand
have
seen
change,
lives
and
families
in
the
city.
L
I
L
What
we
saw
right
off
the
bat
you
know
after
City
Council's
leadership
in
really
bringing
this
community
benefits
agreement
into
place,
is
that
the
City
of
Toronto
staff
took
this
extremely
seriously
and
won
Toronto
gaming.
They
actually
developed
a
tool,
a
self-declaration
tool
for
individuals
to
be
able
to
self-identify
as
being
a
part
of
one
of
the
equity
seeking
groups,
and
that
was
very
important
because
it
had
always
been
a
challenge
with
the
other
community
benefits
programs
that
we
had
in
place
figuring
out.
L
I
I
be
correct
to
say
that
the
staff,
the
City
of
Toronto
staff,
worthy
I,
used
to
term
the
glue
in
terms
of
bringing
the
community
and
one
products
Ino
together
in
order
to
ensure
that
the
challenges
that
you
and
your
organization
were
experiencing
and
the
doubts
that
you
had,
because
you
had
doubts
for
the
conversation
so
would
I
be
correct
in
saying
that
they
played
a
tremendous
or
a
focal
role
in
ensuring
that
we
are
where
we
are
here
today.
Let.
L
Me
just
take
a
look
over
there
to
the
staff
who's
been
leading
this
and
to
say
yes,
you've
played
a
tremendous
role
and
really
supporting
and
making
sure
that
the
work
continues
of
Lee
month-over-month.
So
thank
you
very
much
and,
of
course,
the
leadership
of
the
City
of
Toronto
in
really
establishing
firm
targets
on
the
community
benefits.
Agreement
was
also
very
important
to
make
sure
that
there
was
an
imperative
for
1
Toronto
gaming
to
actually
follow
through
the.
I
L
L
Am
aware
of
that,
and
is
something
that
we
would
like
to
see
accelerated
as
best
as
possible.
I
know
that
city
staff
have
explained
that
there
are
some.
You
know,
alternatives
or
interim.
You
know,
services
that
are
in
place
to
support,
but
you
know
we'd
like
to
see
that
move
forward
as
quickly
as
possible,
because.
L
I
I
A
broad
definition,
obviously
it's
not
broad
enough,
because
I
think
that's
the
point
you're
raising
that
it's.
It
sounded
pretty
broad
to
me
in
terms
of
the
lists
that
you
portrayed,
but
how
is
it
that
it's
hampering
young
people
and
I
thought
that
I
heard
you
say
racialized
or
marginalize
young
people?
How
is
it
not
capturing
them
as
such
the.
L
L
So
broad
it
that's
right,
so
everyone
counts,
and
so
therefore
you
don't
get
to
really
focus
in.
On
the
you
know,
the
the
youth
who
are
racialized
black
youth
like
we
know
who
are
the
people
who
are
facing
the
most
higher
levels
of
unemployment
in
our
city.
We
should
focus
on
making
sure
that
those
are
reached
first
and
then
we
can
drill
down
to
the
others.
For
sure
we
want
employment
for
all
good
jobs
for
all.
L
C
C
C
D
M
Through
the
chair,
I
can
respond
to
that,
so
the
childcare
center
will
be
located
off
site
of
the
casino
proper
right
we
have
been
working
in
the
community.
We've
looked
at
a
number
of
locations
recently,
we've
two
or
two
locations
that
have
significant
promise
and
we're
pursuing
the
site
plan
proposal
from
the
landlord's.
So
it's
looking
promising
and
we're
making
some
progress
in
locating
a
space.
So.
M
Dicker
the
we've
been
talking
to
the
community
at
a
through
surveys
and
through
engagement
about
their
preferred
hours.
Yeah
date,
the
most
of
the
response
is
coming
back,
are
looking
for
7:00
a.m.
to
6:00
p.m.
which
is
typical
childcare
hours.
Although
there
has
been
some
interest
in
evening
and
weekend
care,
so
once
we
get
further
along,
we
have
a
location,
we'll
determine
what's
feasible
in
terms
of
the
childcare
center
operating
and
viability.
There'd
have
to
be
enough
demand
to
keep
the
center
open
season
weekend.
K
M
K
There
was,
there
was
hotel,
there
was
facilities
around.
Is
this
because
of
the
zoning
issue?
Or
is
it
what?
What
is
this?
Because
this
is
employment-
zoning
that
we're
not
considering
the
hotel
the
day
care
closer
to,
because
that
we
pushed
hard
as
a
community
benefit?
Because
we
saw
this
as
a
major
thing
for
the
workers
of
the
hotels
and
the
casinos?
K
M
To
through
the
chair,
no,
it's
not
a
zoning
issue.
Okay,
wherever
we
locate
it
will
have
to
be
zoned
appropriate
for
child
care.
It
was
about
appropriateness
of
having
a
child
care
facility
located
right
on
the
casino
premises.
So
what
was
agreed
is
that
the
child
care
would
be
in
the
vicinity
but
not
directly
on
site,
and
it
would
serve
both
the
employees
of
the
casino,
but
also
the
residents
of
the
community.
Okay,.
K
K
Yeah,
that's
that's
the
reality.
Okay
and
the
hours
you're
saying
that
you
are
doing
surveys
and
doing
all
that
again,
the
the
casinos
not
there.
The
hotel
workers
are
not
there.
So
I
mean
you're
interviewing
as
the
residents
that
live
in
the
neighborhood,
that
most
of
them
don't
have
Hotel
hours
or
shifts
or
those
things.
So
how
are
we
taking
consideration
the
needs
of
some
of
the
people
that
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
the
daycare
was
going
to
be
there
for
through.
A
A
K
Ample
opportunity
to
benefit
from
the
insight
and
needs
of
the
people
around
that
table.
Okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
enough
I
mean
it.
Concerns
me
when
you're
saying
that
it's
recommended
from
7:00
a.m.
to
6:00
a.m.
when
a
hotel
workers
and
all
these
people
are
it's
going
to
be
24/7.
K
M
To
be
clear,
we
haven't
recommended
that
those
are
the
hours,
that's
the
interest
that
we
are
receiving
back
from
the
surveys
and
from
the
engagement
that
we're
doing
there.
The
possibility
of
having
extended
hours
has
not
been
eliminated.
That
will
be
part
of
the
conversation
with
the
childcare
operator
once
they
are
selected
and
again
really
it
comes
down
to
demand
and
viability.
There
has
to
be
enough
demand
for
the
operator
to
remain
open.
They
have
to
pay
staff,
etc,
etc.
K
So
if
the
demand
is
not
there
as
you're
selecting
your
operator,
will
the
opportunity
to
have
that
because
I
think,
as
you
or
start
to
will
start
to
have
more
and
more
workers
that
demand
might
increase.
So
are
you
considering
an
operator
that
will
leave
the
door
open
to
respond
to
that
demand?
That's
correct!
Thank
you.
Thanks.

you
have
a
few
strip
plazas
and
so
on.
Is
that
correct?
I
M
I
I
M
I
I
It
be
possible
for
the
gaming
facilities
to
set
up
some
type
of
of
transportation
system,
to
be
able
to
accommodate
and
and
and
allow
for
users
of
the
daycare
to
get
to
the
facilities,
because
facility
is
quite
large
right.
So
in
as
much
as
let's
say,
the
central
building
off
the
Woodbine
facilities
is
located.
It's
some
distance
away.
If
you
were
to
really
measure
out
from
the
areas
that
you're
looking
at
to
the
Woodbine
race
facility,
it's
probably
closer
than
two
kilometers
away.
It
would.
Would
you
not
agree?
Yes,.
I
I
I
C
K
Well,
it's
great
to
see
this
program
working
and
I
think
it
just
means
that
we
need
to
do
it
more
often
and
in
other
projects.
I
am
happy
to
see
the
results
I'm
looking
forward
to
continue
to
follow
it
and
improve
it.
I
do
think
there
was
two
things
that
came
out
of
this
and-
and
it
doesn't
have
necessarily
to
do
with
the
community
benefits
agreement
that
we
got
for
a
Woodbine.
K
We
are
reviewing
now
the
use
of
the
census,
sensitive
uses
in
employment
areas,
both
in
core
and
general,
and
sometimes
we
rule
out
things
like
daycares
and
long-term
care
homes
and
all
these
facilities
and
employment
areas,
and
most
of
them
need
to
be
ruled
out
because
they
create
pressures
but
I've
asked
staff
and
what
I
was
concerned
that
this
was
going
to
be
one
of
those
cases,
especially
when
it
has
to
do
with
daycare.
I
think
they
care
can
be
very,
very
complementary
in
certain
parts.
K
For
that,
and
the
other
thing
is
that
I
hope
that,
as
we
are
ensuring
that
the
operator
for
the
daycare
that
we
have,
that
I
understand
that
the
man
needs
to
be
there
and
I
understand
you
don't
have
the
workers
there
still
to
have
the
conversations
with
them,
and
you
don't
know
how.
Many
of
them
will
have
to
have
kids,
but
it
is
really
really
important
that
we
leave
space
in
that
contract
to
accommodate
the
demand.
K
I
was
the
one
that
put
the
motion
to
have
the
daycare
put
it
pushed
hard
for
it
and
the
intent
that
we
had
for
this,
and
the
work
that
was
done
with
the
community
benefits
network
was
to
support
the
workers,
because
I
remember
in
many
many
instances.
For
example,
a
TCH
see
that
we
have
similar
programs,
many
people
and
in
this
case
truth
be
told.
K
Many
women
tell
me
that
one
of
the
issues
that
they
have
to
enter
into
some
of
these
programs
is
the
daycares,
don't
open
early
enough,
for
example,
them
to
enter
into
some
of
the
trades
programs
and
something
like
this.
So
we
don't
want
to
be
creating
these
opportunities
and
then
have
obstacles
that
prevent
them
from
taking
advantage
of
these
opportunities.
K
These
have
to
go
hand-in-hand,
so
I
hope
that,
as
the
daycare
opens,
understanding
all
the
complexities
that
you
know
that
the
operator
needs
to
have
that
we
negotiate
a
contract
that
accommodates
these
needs
and
accommodates
to
fulfill
this.
The
role
that
was
first
intended
to
do
so
again,
thank
you
to
the
staff,
thanks
to
everybody
involved,
I
think
with
amazing
work
has
been
done
and
proven
that
we
can
do
it
again,
but
let's
just
keep
these
two
issues
in
mind.
Thank.
I
I
We
were
able
to
obviously
come
to
a
point
where
responding
to
a
need
in
an
area.
That's
challenged
and
I.
Think
that
the
point
that
rosemary
has
made.
That
said
that
you
know
our
social
definition
is
so
broad
that
we
tend
to
capture
everyone
and
it's
as
much
as
obviously
it's
well
intended
as
as
an
administration
or
a
government.
I
We
want
to
be
able
to
help
and
create
a
level
playing
field
and
fairness,
sometimes
so
that
little
that
that
attempt
seems
to
have
the
adverse
impact
and
effect
those
least
one
to
effect,
and
so
I
think
we
have
to
find
ways
to
amend
and
adjust
the
elements
so
that
we
capture
the
people
that
we
need
to
capture
to
help
them
to
empower
them
and
so
on.
We
have
gone
through
a
number
of
iteration
with
respect
to
Woodbine
Woodbine
lives
was
it's
gonna,
be
the
great
savior
and
all
the
things
that
was
going
to
happen.
I
Then
it
just
kind
of
feather
visited
out
and
the
folks
really
from
Boston
pulled
away
and
the
investment
were
there,
and
now
we
have
some
gaming
facilities
and
we're
you
gaming
operator
to
operate
there
and
we
are
going
to
use.
Obviously,
this
process
of
gaming
for
community
benefit
and
engaging
to
create
opportunities.
I
The
day
care
piece
was
a
piece
that
we
knew
and
and
recognize
is
extremely
important,
certainly
to
the
community
and
to
us
as
government
and
to
the
CBN
group
and
so
on,
and
we
have
you
know,
come
to
a
point
where
we
are
able
to
at
least
have
some
options.
Weeks
ago
we
had
no
options
sickly
available
to
us.
I
There
was
nothing
we
couldn't
afford
and
the
location
of
the
would
bind
facility,
it's
very
challenging
in
terms
of
finding
the
appropriate
site
for
daycare
there,
and
so
we
have
some
options
now
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
that
coming
forward.
Clearly,
it's
a
work
in
progress
right.
It's
not
a
static
done
deal,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
are
happening.
I
We
have
the
elements
and
moving
parts
they're
all
working
and-
and
there
is
a
an
attitude
of
wanting
to
work
together-
to
establish
all
the
principles
that
needs
to
ensure
that
this
facility
is
going
to
work
for
the
community
work
for
the
workers
work
for.
Obviously,
the
operators
and
work
for
the
city,
as
well
as
part
of
this
and
at
the
very
first
time,
we're
actually
putting
this
structure
together
to
allow
it
work.
I
One
consistent
theme
that
comes
from
that
is
using
the
city's
resources
and
tools
to
help
to
empower
our
community
and
neighborhoods
and
partners
so
that
we
can
all
be
better
off
at
the
end
of
the
day,
because
unless
we
actually
have
a
mechanism
or
a
system
in
place
that
allows
people
to
be
empowered
and
help
them
to
be
better
off,
and
so
on.
A
lot
of
the
challenges
that
we
see
globally.
I
It's
happening
around
the
world,
we're
going
to
then
be
experiencing
a
lot
of
those
in
the
sense
that
people
feel
disenfranchised
not
connected,
and
so
on
and
I'm
not
suggesting.
We
have
a
perfect
system
at
this
point,
we're
working
towards
that.
We
have
a
better
system
than
many
other
places
around
the
world
and
that's
why
we
are
who
we
are.
As
a
city
Toronto,
we
care.
We,
we
live
up
to
the
action.
You
know,
diversity
is
our
strength.
I
We
want
not
to
simply
use
that
term
and
not
actually
live
up
to
providing
the
opportunity
where
people
can
provide
input
and
all
of
us
collaborating
zhan
and
I
want
to
the
landowner
that
we
have
been
in
touch
with.
Therefore,
recognizing
that
he
and
his
company
can
play
a
role
in
the
success
of
this
city
because
he
and
his
company
will
be
better
off.
So
will
everybody
else,
and
so
once
I
hope
that
we
can
finalize
the
arrangement
and
get
it
done.
Thank
you
very
much
make
you
Miss
America.
Thank.
C
C
And
it
is
to
receive
the
report
for
information.
So
that's
the
recommendation
here
and
counsel
counselor
deputy
mayor
Thompson's
move
that
recommendation
all
those
in
favor.
Oh,
it's
Kerry!
Thank
you.
Next
is
11
point
13,
improving
hydro,
improving
communications
for
Toronto
hydro
projects
and
was
held
by
a
deputy
mayor
viola,
one
more
after
this
deputy
mayor
viola.
You
held
11.30
I.
C
K
It's
it's
been
hard
to
get
the
communications
and
with
Toronto,
Hydro
and
I
think
this
is
just
one
example:
I,
don't
know
about
you,
but
I
I'm,
getting
I'm
getting
suggestions
from
Toronto
Hydro
to
use
section,
30
17
to
do
light
assessments
and
to
put
street
Lighting's.
That's
that's
a
bit
discouraging
and
you
did
too
right
yeah.
So
that's
the
kind
of
relationship
that
our
city
is
having
with
one
of
our
agencies
and
I.
Just
think
that
that
we
everybody
needs
to
work
on
this.
K
D
Do
I
just
kind
of
want
to
put
some
a
little
bit
of
context
to
this.
This
is
not
a
situation
where
Toronto
Hydro
is
not
wanting
to
do
the
work.
I
think
there's
an
arrangement
where
there
was
an
agreement
put
in
place,
a
Toronto
wouldn't
cha,
no
hydro
would
do
the
work,
but
the
city
would
pay
to
do
that.
Work
and
the
city
hasn't
made
Toronto
Hydro
holes
I've.
Had
it
exactly
that
same
problem
and
so
to
you
know,
point
a
finger
at
hydro
and
say:
you're,
not
communicating
very
well
or
it's
all
your
fault.
D
That's
not
it!
That's
not
a
fair
and
accurate
representation
at
all.
As
I
understand
it.
There's
a
finance
piece
that
the
city
has
to
keep
up
its
end
and
my
understanding
there
is.
There
have
been
discussions
about
this
just
very
recently,
but
III
and
I'm
on
the
board
of
hydro
but
and
I'm
not
just
doing
it
because
of
that
I
mean
behind
the
scenes.
D
If
the
hydro
is
not
given
the
money
that
they
were
promised
to
do
the
work
that
that
they
were
asked
to
do
or
there's
more
work
than
they
were
asked
to
do
and
the
city
has
to
make
them
whole,
then
the
city
needs
takes
us
I'm
ownership
of
the
issue,
so
I
know
no,
but
the
the
arrangement
here
that
it's
all
hydros
fault,
if
that's
the
characterization,
is
not
fair.
Well,.
C
I
took
it
so
we
can
Hanna
snow,
that's
fine
and
the
handiness
of
having
a
members
I
think
there's
at
least
one
here,
but
consolations
you
have
a
QC
you're
still
in
the
war
right,
so
I
think
you
can
take
that
back
to
the
board.
Just
saying:
look,
it's
probably
better.
We
should
make
sure
it's
transparent
for
all
concerned
and
whatever
it's
it's.
C
C
D
Just
wanna
make
a
comment
her,
but
if
that's
the
case-
and
why
are
why
is
hydro-
not
communicating
that
to
the
city?
Well,
no
I,
they
haven't
communicated
local
councillor
they're,
just
telling
us.
If
you
have
section
37,
we
will
increase
the
lighting.
We
should
be
told
that
in
fact
they
don't
have
the
funding
and
they
need
more
funding
from
the
city
to
do
particular
projects.
D
You
know
a
public
finger,
pointed
mudslinging
arrangement
they're,
acting
as
a
good
partner
to
the
city
and
talking
to
staff,
to
try
and
try
and
resolve
this
as
opposed
to
you
know,
every
time
a
councillor
calls
say
you
know
call
the
city
manager
is
his
fault,
that's
not
the
room.
That
is
not
the
discourse
that
they
want
to
have.
They
want
to
solve
the
problem
and
not
you
know,
get
involved
in
this
messy
arrangement,
and
you
know
point
fingers
well.
C
Well,
I
took
from
the
comments
that
nobody
wants
to
have
that
kind
of
discussion.
So
why
don't
we
leave
it
as
I
said
that
maybe
our
two
directors
who
happen
to
be
here
for
this
discussion
can
take
it
back
and
just
say:
there's
obviously
a
better
communication,
that's
required
at
the
at
the
least
and
then
we'll
see
if
people
are
still
dissatisfied,
we
can
take
it
up
from
there
yeah
yeah,
okay.
C
So
on
that,
then
there
was
sorry
and
I
don't
have
it
where
the
there
were
a
number
of
amendments,
the
municipal
code
that
went
with
that
just
in
terms
of
printed
public
notices
and
whatnot
written
notifications,
and
so
can
I
ask
for
someone
to
move
that
recommendation
lately
for
the
staff
recommendation
from
transportation
services.
Counselor
Nancy
at
all
those
in
favor
opposed
Kerry
all
right.
Last
but
not
least,
11.25
st.
Lawrence
Centre
redevelopment
was
held
by
cows
across.
D
First
of
I
want
to
thank
your
your
patience
and
diligence
and,
being
here
all
day,
listening
to
executive,
but
I
do
have
just
a
couple
of
questions
for
you,
so
this
has
been
many
years
in
the
making
it's
a
very
exciting
big
project.
But
can
you
just
talk
briefly
and
it
has
been
supported
unanimously
by
the
tio
live
board,
so
why
this
redevelopment?
N
Thanks
for
taking
the
time
this
afternoon,
it's
great
to
be
last
on
the
agenda
because
the
room
clears,
and
you
know
we
spent
an
enormous
amount
of
time.
Looking
at
this,
as
you
probably
are
aware,
this
is
not
the
first
time
that
someone
has
made
a
proposal
to
do
a
redevelopment
process
in
the
st.
Lawrence,
Center
I
believe
this
is.
We
are
in
the
fifth
round
of
this
discussion
that
has
taken
place
over
maybe
a
decade
or
more
of
different
proposals.
N
The
question
is:
do
we
go
that
route,
or
do
we
actually
do
what
other
companies
would
do?
We
just
look
at
that
leverage
that
money
and
think
about
creating
something
new
and
better
for
the
city
in
the
downtown
core
we
are
proposing
in
the
tio
live
board.
U
Nana's
unanimously
adopted
moving
to
option
two
to
leverage
the
money
that
you
have
in
the
state
of
good
repair
backlog
and
really
rethink
what
a
cultural
hub
for
the
City
of
Toronto
would
be.
This
is
the
beginning
of
that
process.
I
can't
stress
that
enough.
So.
D
With
regards
you're
in
the
beginning,
what
are
the
next
steps
you're
here
before,
so
the
board
has
brought
this
to
executive
off,
to
council,
of
course,
to
really
look
at
the
redevelopment,
we
do
have
a
confidential
attachment.
But
what
are
the
next
steps
on
in
this
project
and
trying
to
see
it
materialize
and
realize
to
full
fruition?
We.
N
Would
look
at
first
of
all
who
the
partners
in
the
community
would
be
there's
a
wide
group
of
people
that
we
have
begun
discussions
with,
but
by
no
means
completed
that
there
would
be
a
robust
community
discussion
that
would
go
through
public
consultation,
which
would
begin
as
well.
We
would
look
at
governance
models
once
we
had
partners
in
place.
We
would
then
begin
design
process
and
also
looking
at
opportunities
on
how
not
only
for
the
mechanics
of
the
art
that
is
to
be
created
in
the
building,
but
also
how
does
it
relate
to
the
park?
N
How
does
it
relate
to
the
cultural
corridor
that
is
being
created
along
Front
Street?
How
does
it
relate
to
the
larger
community
into
the
transportation
hubs
in
the
neighborhood?
All
of
that
is
is
begun
and
detailed
in
the
document
that
you
have,
but
that
needs
to
be
fleshed
out
in
a
much
greater
way.
Thank.
D
You
and
just
a
message
or
sorry,
a
question
to
Mike
Williams
with
regard
to
the
state
of
good
repair.
No,
we
have
been
hesitant,
I
think
over
the
last
number
of
years
to
spend
any
real
money
on
this.
There's
been
some
money
we've
had
to
put
into
this,
but
can
you
just
talk
about
the
the
overall
state
of
good
repair
backlog
for
the
state,
Lawrence
Center,
and
why
this
makes
sense
to
move
forward
as
a
redevelopment?
Well.
O
O
We
spend
money
on
the
roof,
because
if
we
didn't
spend
money
on
the
roof,
we
would
risk
serious,
mold
problems
which
would
be
very
counterproductive
to
the
operations.
Obviously,
it's
an
old
building,
so
there's
still
some
stuff
in
there
that
people
don't
want
to
mess
with,
and
so
we
need
to
deal
with
that,
and
so
you
know
a
couple
of
years
ago,
council
during
a
budget
process
saw
fit
to
set
aside
thirty
million
dollars,
which
was
based
on
a
building
condition
articles
taken
at
that
time.
N
I
I
N
The
chair
yes,
and
that
the
second
is
the
truth
we
are
at
that
moment.
We
don't.
The
question:
is
continuous
state
of
good
repair
or
go
forward
with
the
redevelopment.
That's
the
question
before
you
with
our
board
has
said:
go
forward
with
redevelopment
and
at
that
stage
then
we
would
come
forward
and
then
we
can
start
as
I
like
to
think
start
dreaming
a
little
bit
yeah.
I
I
N
Or
do
you
ever
through
that
so
through
the
chair,
I,
think
that
all
of
those
things
are
yet
to
be
determined.
I
would
want
to
caution
that
the
site
is
a
very
important
site,
you're
talking
about
a
piece
of
real
estate.
That
is
probably
one
of
the
most
valuable
pieces
of
real
estate
in
the
country,
and
we
must
dedicate
it
to
culture.
I
think
we
need
to
start
to
remember
the
culture
needs
to
be
on
our
list
of
things
that
are
vital
and
important
to
the
city.
It
has
been
designated
for
culture.
N
It
was
built
as
a
millennial
as
a
67
project,
it's
a
space
for
the
artists
and
the
community
and
to
have
that
kind
of
valuable
research,
a
real
estate
and
have
it
designated
for
that
is
super
important
now.
The
question
then,
is
like
any
other
business.
If
you
had
an
under
leveraged
underused
piece
of
real
estate,
but
you
knew
it
could
be
something
greater,
you
don't
want
to
leave
it.
What
it
is
you
want
to
ask:
where
can
we
go
in
the
future?
N
K
Want
to
follow
up,
I
didn't
have
any
questions,
but
I
want
to
follow
up
on
the
question
of
the
councilor
Thompson
mentioned,
which
was
around
where
you
going
I
understand.
This
is
a
really
important
piece
of
culture
there
with
you.
So
are
you
still
open
to
what
might
be
possible
so
you're
not
saying
that
the
only
thing
you're
gonna
have
is
culture
you're,
saying
that
needs
to
be
the
predominant
and
from
there?
What
else
could
we
have?
Should
we
have?
Is
that
where
you
are
or
through.
N
N
Report
talked
about
as
a
bond
a
community
bond,
and
so
what
does
that
mean
when
we
talk
about
space
in
what
is
obviously
one
of
our
most
dense
areas
in
the
city
of
Toronto,
and
we
need
to
look
at
all
of
those
factors
as
we
go
forward
and
leverage
that
space
plus
we
need
in
on
a
very
practical
level,
you
want
to
think
not
just
about
the
physical
space,
that's
before
you,
but
how
does
it
relate
to
what
Mairead
Hall
is
which
is
directly
across
Scott
Street?
How
does
it
relate
to
the
park?
K
O
Big
one
of
the
big
reasons
why
free
earlier
attempts
failed
was
the
massing
Studies
on
the
site
and
shading
the
park
so
that
after
five
or
six
stories
it
becomes
impractical.
So
one
early
one
was
to
put
a
condo
tower
on
top
of
it
and
that
failed
because
of
the
density
and
the
shading.
So
so
councillor
McConnell
felt
that
would
and
that
didn't
get
anywhere
that
one
whose
second
one
went
further,
but
it
still
failed
on
the
massing,
so
clients
gonna
have
a
hard
time
packing.
Everything
in
and.
C
Other
questions
I
just
have
a
couple:
did
you
have
one
better?
Okay,
first
can
I
just
be
clear
on
when
we
talk
about
this
thirty
or
forty
million
dollars?
Am
I
right
that
some
of
that
actually
is
somewhere
in
the
capital
plans
of
the
city,
just
so
that
if
we
don't
spend
it
on
the
on
the
renovations
or
that
there
is
some
money,
the
set
aside
I
think
out
of
that
total?
Yes,.
N
C
My
second
question:
you
won't
like
much,
but
it
is
the
following:
with
a
building
say
or
a
car
or
anything
else
that
is
in
a
state
of
in
need
of
repairs.
There
is
a
timetable,
even
when
you
say:
okay,
we're
not
gonna,
go
the
route
of
repair,
we're
going
to
replace
it
with
something
or
redevelop
it
or
do
something.
There
is
a
period
at
which
that
process
of
redeveloping
figuring
out
what
you're
gonna
do
with
this
one
goes
too
long,
and
then
you
have
a
problem
with
the
roof
or
with
the
AODA.
C
C
The
questions
you've
asked
I
presume
that
the
intention
of
the
process
is
to
make
sure
before
we
ever
get
to
the
point
where
the
roof
collapses,
because
we've
made
a
perfectly
valid
decision
not
to
stick
with
the
status
quo
and
not
repair
it,
but
that
we
hadn't
moved
on
fast
enough
with
the
whatever
it's
gonna,
replace
it
or
whatever's
gonna
be
taking
place
that
we
will
be
mindful
of
that.
Yes,.
N
N
We
are
keeping
it
together
and
maintaining
it
at
its
current
level,
but
we
it's
not
going
to
it
won't
last
forever
and
thus
the
AODA
compliance
rule
is
really
the
hard
and
fast
driver
here
if
you
want
to
become
compliant
to
AODA.
Compliance
by
2025
just
do
a
work
back
schedule,
but
there
is
no
way
currently
for
an
artist
of
disability
to
get
on
that
stage.
N
C
Yeah
and
I
think
follow
my
point,
which
was
I
agree
with
all
of
that:
a
hundred
percent
yeah
that
we
also
time
is
not
on
our
side.
It
is
not
important
with
the
process
you
talked
about,
which
we
often
get
very
bogged
down
in
you
know,
for
reasons
of
people
trying
to
jam
too
much
in,
for
example,
or
some
such
thing
I'm
just
making
the
point
that
she
would
agree
with
that.
If
we're
gonna
take
the
approach
of
saying
we're,
not
gonna
spend
a
lot
more
money
than
with
any
more
money.
C
C
D
If
executive
recall
about
two
years
ago,
we
amalgamated
all
three
civic
theaters
into
one
entity
called
tio
live
we've
hired
a
CEO
and
they've
been
doing
incredible
work
over
the
last
couple
of
years
to
really
look
at
the
or
seven
stages,
and
how
do
they
manage
these
Performing
Arts
stages,
all
across
the
city?
We
are
now
at
a
point
with
tio
live
to
really
start
looking
at
a
huge
opportunity,
which
is
the
redevelopment
of
the
Saint
Lawrence
Center.
D
It
has
been
in
many
years
in
the
making,
as
has
been
mentioned,
we've
looked
at
a
number
of
iterations
of
what
we
can
do
and
they
have
all
kind
of
fallen
to
the
wayside.
Timing
was
a
an
issue
at
one
point,
but
understanding
there's
a
huge
opportunity
here.
It's
a
very,
very
valuable
piece
of
cultural,
real
estate
in
the
city
sitting
beside
meridian
hall,
and
it
has
it
is
underutilized.
I
forgot
to
ask
the
questions
of
the
utilization
of
this
particular
space.
D
It's
an
old
building
that
we
really
don't
utilize
and
not
that
we
don't
want
to
and
not
because
there's
not
a
market
there.
It's
just
the
way
it
is
designed.
It
doesn't
meet
the
needs
of
the
present
day
forming
arts
industry.
So
we're
looking
at
an
opportunity
to
transform
this
it'll
benefit.
Not
only
the
city
it'll
benefit
the
st.
Lawrence
community,
but
it
is
the
beginning
of
a
process.
D
C
All
right
we
have
within
the
okay.
We
have
an
amendment
to
this
move
to
motion
just
moved
to
amend
from
councillor
Crawford
to
do
with
confidentiality
and
all
I'm.
Sorry
did
you
want
to
speak
comfortable?
Okay
on
the
amendment,
then
we'll
have
the
amendment
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried
and
the
item
as
amended
all
those
in
favor
opposed
Carrie,
okay,
I,
think
that
completes
our
business
for
the
day
with
thanks
to
everybody,
and
we
will
see
you
at
Council
if
not
before.
Thank
you
very
much
Phineas
jerk.
