It's
all
and
I
think
that
it's
just
not
there.
We
are
good
morning,
everybody
before
before
I
proceed
with
the
more
formal
scripting
of
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
to
call
to
order.
May
I
acknowledge
here
the
presence
of
a
new
member
of
the
executive
committee
and
by
virtue
of
the
stepping
aside
of
Denzil,
Minh
and
Wong
as
deputy
a
statutory
deputy
mayor
during
the
period
of
the
provincial
election.
H
I
I
H
H
H
All
right,
I
see.
No
declarations
for
today
may
I
have
a
motion
to
confirm
the
minutes
of
the
executive
committee
meeting
of
April
17th
2018
moved
by
councillor
Ainsley
councillor
McMann,
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carry.
Now
we
have
quite
a
lengthy
agenda
in
front
of
us
today,
including
some
very
significant
items
we
have
and
I'm
very
happy
to
say.
We
have
many
members
of
the
community
here
who
want
to
speak
and
in
order
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
chance
to
be
heard
in
a
reasonable
time.
H
I
would
propose
the
following:
be
the
rules
that
apply
for
this
committee
meeting
and
maybe
the
clerk
could
display
the
motion.
It
is
one
that
we've
used
before
in
order
to
make
sure
people
can
be
heard
in
a
reasonable
time,
and
you
can
see
there
item
one
talks
about
registration
for
deputies
until
10:30
today.
Secondly,
that
the
public
presentations
be
limited
to
three
minutes.
Thirdly,
that
questions
of
speakers
by
members
of
council,
including
members
of
the
committee,
be
limited
to
three
minutes
one
round.
H
Fourthly,
that
questions
to
staff
be
limited
to
three
minutes
and
finally,
the
speaking
times
for
members
of
City
Council
be
limited
to
three
minutes
and
I
think
this
is
something
we've
done
when
we've
had
a
large
number,
as
we
do
today
in
excess
of
40
deputations
to
make
sure
everybody
gets
heard
in
a
reasonable
manner.
So
I
would
be
moving
that
and
ask
if,
for
I'll
call
the
question
on
that
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.

if
I
could

just
so,
we
could
make

note
of
it.
At
the
same
time,
we
would
like
to
schedule
it
because
of
some
conflicts
that
counsellor
shiner
has
for
around

this

We
can
proceed

Ainsley
item

That's
in
the
Weston
community
hub
moved
by
Councillor
bylaw,
all
those
in
favor
I'm.
Sorry,
oh
I,
didn't
put
the
page
you're
quite
right
through
deputations.
My
apologies
item
34
point
16
suicide
prevention
through
bridge
modification.
L
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
Spin,
Master
I,
don't
know
if
many
people
are
aware,
but
they
also
support
a
program
called
the
caring
and
sharing
banquet,
which
is
a
deliberately
grand
every
year.
They
donate
toys
to
needy
schools,
children
throughout
the
GTA,
in
support
of
The
Breakfast
Club
program,
what
they
do
the
for
your
school.
If
the
school
goes
to
this
banquet,
each
child
is
given
a
toy
and
then
they
can
pick
a
toy
for
a
needy
friend
that
wasn't
there
that
lives
in
their
neighborhood.
L
So
when
you
look
at
this
report
and
it's
a
donation
of
6,000
toys
close
to
$100,000
and
they
approached
the
city's
partnership
office,
they're
carrying
him
sharing
banquet,
which
kid
just
had
its
seventh
event
at
Christmas-
they
donate
clothes
to
this
equivalent
every
year.
So
I
just
want
to
acknowledge.
It's
been
master
they've,
given
toys
to
a
number
of
schools
in
my
area
over
the
years
supporting
the
children's
Breakfast
Club,
which
I
think
is
a
very
neat
important,
endeavor
and
I-
think
it
really
shows
their
commitment
to
this
city
and
I'll
be
supporting
the
recommendations.
L
H
You
I
might
ask
you
that
you
move
it
if
you
would
constantly
just
to
say
as
well.
They
are
excellent
corporate
citizens
and
a
huge
success
story
for
Toronto
and
that
it
started
from
scratch
and
the
employee
to
people.
Now
here,
one
of
the
world's
leading
toy
manufacturers
so
moved
by
Councillor
agency
that
we
receive
the
report
with
gratitude,
because
these
reports
are
very
mechanical
and
dry
and
just
saying
we
have
to
do
it.
We
have
to
do
to
accept
the
gift,
but
give
me
a
key
to
the
city
moved
by
Councillor
hainsley.
H
H
Economic

and
this
is
a
letter
coming
from
the
city
school
board's
advisory
committee.
With
recommendations
coming
from
the
committee.
Do
I
have
a
mover
for
that
move.
H
The

the
committee
councillor
shiner
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried

Again

H
H
K
H
Right
so
if
councillor
somebody
from
the
TDC
wants
to
be
in
touch
with
councillors,
your
honor,
we
may
get
the
questions
answered
and
release
it
later.
Thirty,
four
point:
thirty
one

Chapter:

members
being

thirty,

point:

accountability
and
transparency
and
transit
planning
motion
here
concerning
an
inquiry
being
held
for
deputations
mr.
mayor.
J
Yes,
this
particular
one
here
I
wonder
I'd
like
to
move
this
item,
I'd
like
to
move
deferral.
In
fact,
I'd
like
to
move.
It's
I
need
I
this
particular
item
here.
It
appears
to
me
that
you
know
city
staff's
integrity
is
being
pinned
by
this
particular
requests.
It
also
appears
to
me
that
our
professional
staff
are
provided
advice
to
us,
which
is
obviously
something
that
we
rely
on
an
an
ongoing
basis,
and
this
seeks
to
impugn
that
as
well.
J
It
also
further
appears
to
me,
based
on
the
information
I've
been
looking
at,
is
that
the
auditor-general
has
in
fact
reviewed
and
investigated
this
particular
matter
and
has
found
that
staff
are
actually
doing
their
job
and
so
I
find
it
rather
offensive
with
respect
to
this
request
here.
It
also
seems
to
me
that
we
have
dealt
with
this
for
more
than
10
times
here
at
this
committee
or
council.
J
Furthermore,
I
don't
want
to
see
this
executive
committee
being
used
as
a
platform,
because,
when
I
look
at
this,
they
talk
about
the
you
know:
judicial
require
the
computer.
Releasing
inquire
I,
see
nothing
in
similar.
I
was
a
staff
member
at
that
particular
point
in
time,
and
if
there
was
something
similar,
I
think
we'd
all
be
saying
that
this
is
something
that
we'd
want
further
information
to
come
forward.
J
H
K
H
H
Item
34.1
and
there
are
definite
on
item
34.1,
which
is
the
Eglinton
east
light
rail
transit
project
update
and
next
steps
and
the
first
their
three
deputed.
So
they
could
just
be
ready
in
order
Sarah,
lemon
Hodja,
Moya,
BL
and
Cheryl
Lewis,
the
rap
and
so
miss
clement
agra.
If
you
want
to
come
forward
first.
H
O
L
H
Me
I
apologize
to
you
for
this,
but
over
on
this
side
of
the
room
and
cluding
in
the
back
corner
there
please,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
in
the
back
corner
over
here.
If
there's
gonna
be
a
meeting,
could
you
please
take
it
outside?
We
have
somebody
who's
taken.
The
trouble
to
come
here
today
to
be
heard
from
and
I
would
ask
that
people
try
and
listen
to
the
deputation
I
apologize.
Please
go
ahead.
I've.
F
H
D
My
purpose
in
coming
here
is
to
urge
you
to
get
Scarborough
moving
and
to
build
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
no
I'm
asking
you
to
make
it
the
priority.
Instead
of
the
Scarborough
subway
extension
I'm
asking
you
to
shelf
the
one-stop
subway
extension
and
devote
the
budget
to
building
the
nearly
shovel-ready
rapid
transit
LRT
network
in
Scarborough.
D
Let
evidence
be
your
guide
when
Mayor
Tory
proposed
the
so-called
optimized
solution
of
moving
from
a
three
stop
to
1
stop
extension,
the
savings
were
supposed
to
pay
for
the
construction
of
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
but
the
cost
of
the
one
stop
subway
has
ballooned
to
such
an
extent
that
it
has
consumed
most
of
the
budget
that
the
city
had
set
aside
for
the
project.
The
cost
of
the
subway
extension
is
widely
expected
to
grow
even
further
when
the
30%
design
stage
is
reached.
The
Eglinton
East
LRT
is
not
funded.
D
Even
though
more
than
41,000
residents,
more
than
half
of
whom
live
in
priority,
neighborhoods
would
be
in
walking
distance
to
wrap
a
transit.
The
mayor
and
most
councillors
have
decided
that
they
are
not
a
priority
and
even
though
it
could
be
built
more
quickly
than
the
one-stop
subway
and
would
bring
more
jobs
and
development
than
the
one-stop
subway.
The
mayor
and
most
councillors
have
decided
that
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
can
wait
indefinitely.
D
D
Because,
unlike
the
subway
extension,
the
evidence
for
it
is
solid,
the
issue
of
evidence-based
decision-making
is
why
councilor
Matt
Lowe's
motion
for
a
judicial
inquiry
into
the
information
that
has
been
provided
to
council
about
the
subway
extension
is
so
important.
There
isn't
a
shred
of
solid
evidence
in
favor
of
the
subway
extension
the
mayor
and
most
councillors
refusal
to
acknowledge
the
evidence
has
failed
scarborough
if
it
weren't
for
your
stubborn
refusal
to
be
guided
by
evidence.
People
in
scarborough
would
today
be
well
on
their
way
to
riding
an
LRT
higher
order,
rapid
transit
network.
H
H
O
E
Through
the
the
chair,
the
this
transit
project
has
been
included
in
the
in
the
DC
bylaw
review,
so
it
it
is.
It
is
part
of
that
exercise
and,
and
that
would
cover
a
portion
of
the
of
the
costs
as
well.
Council
identified
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
as
one
of
its
funding
priorities
for
the
next
round
of
federal
infrastructure
funding,
and
so
that
will
also
cover
a
portion.
Until
we
have
the
full
costs,
we
will
were
not
able
to
develop
a
full
funding
strategy
yet
and.
E
Through
the
chair,
my
understanding
is
that
that
we
already
have
a
notional
amount
committed
by
the
federal
government
of
four
point.
Eight
billion
dollars
for
transit
projects
in
the
Toronto
area
in
Toronto
part
of
what
the
city
manager's
office
is
doing,
is
is
negotiating
with
the
province
about
the
allocation
of
those
funds
and
also
waiting
on
the
the
approach
from
the
federal
government
to
the
the
application
process
to
confirm
what
projects
are
going
forward.
N
E
Threw
the
chair
at
at
this
point:
we
we
are
seeking
direction
from
from
executive
committee
and
then
Council
on
a
few
items
in
order
to
be
able
to
develop
the
plan
for
this
LRT
line
more
fully
and
in
order
to
be
able
to
bring
a
better
cost
estimate
to
council.
At
that
point,
we
will
also
need
to
indicate
the
the
manner
in
which
we
will
we
propose
to
to
cover
the
costs
and.
E
K
H
J
Documents
we
are
through
yo
to
staff
I
wanted
to
understand,
because
this
is
an
important
aspect
with
respect
to
whether
or
not
its
transit
bridges
or
any
other
types
of
things.
Capital
work,
that's
being
done
in
the
city.
With
respect
to
the
question
has
been
asked
around
funding.
Does
the
funding
amount
comes
first
before
the
actual
plan?
Let's
say
for
the
installation
of
whether
or
not
it's
a
subway
development
or
streetcar
acquisition
which
comes
first.
L
Mr.
chair,
with
respect
to
large
projects
like
the
scale
of
a
subway
in
relation
to
other
infrastructure
projects,
no,
it
is
not
uncommon
for
certain
monies
to
be
invested,
so
we
can
do
further
work
and
that's
what
you're
doing
here
right,
you're,
making
an
initial
investment
for
for
us
to
complete
a
number
of
assessments
and
then
bring
back
to
committee
and
council.
What
are
the
true
costs?
What
are
the
implications,
so
this
happens
in
in
many
projects.
We
start
with
the
environmental
assessment.
L
We
work
through
a
a
conceptual
design,
come
back
each
time
with
different
costing
finally
bring
forward
a
final
design
with
better
costing,
for
example,
water
projects
may
take
six
seven,
eight
years
worth
of
environmental
assessment
conceptual
design
before
we
know
the
hard
number
and
put
it
in
our
budget.
So.
J
J
Of
years
ago,
under
Mayor,
then
Mayor
David,
Miller
I
recall
we
actually
had
a
meeting
and
it
was
off
site
because
I
think
there
was
a
strike
at
the
time
it.
We
didn't
want
to
hold
a
meeting
at
City
Hall
in
order
that
we
didn't
cross
any
picket
lines
and
so
on,
but
we
actually
bought
and
decided
that
we
would,
by
committing
ourselves
to
1
billion
dollars,
to
buy
streetcars.
Or
were
you
aware
that
it's.
J
L
J
So
I'm
hearing
a
lot
less
I'm
hearing
it
well
I've
got.
Oh
that's
three
minutes
I'm,
sorry,
just
to
hear
a
lot
of
questions
about
this.
Where
is
the
money
coming
from
and
so
on?
What
is
exactly
is
your
response
to
that
and
when
you
give
an
answer
to
whether
a
member
of
council
or
staff,
what
is
exactly
your
response
because
I'm
not
quite
sure
it's.
L
Very
mr.
chair
the
advice
that
I
would
give
you
is
once
we
have
a
construction
contract
that
we
after
and
have
to
enter
into,
that
we
then
have
a
clear
financing
plan
or
which,
which
includes
successive
specially.
If
there's
multi
phases
to
a
project,
you
can
actually
identify
over
the
years
how
you're
going
to
find
out
something
as
an
example
large
water
projects,
we
award
contracts
based
on
our
knowledge
that
future
revenues
will
will
cover
that,
and
we
may
have
to
make
adjustments
in
those
subsequent
years
in
order
to
match
our
projects.
L
H
Thanks
councillor
Thompson
other
members
of
the
committee
wishing
to
ask
questions
on
this.
I
just
have
a
couple
if
I
might
to
staff.
First
of
all,
I
heard
mentioned
earlier
and
I
just
want
to
confirm,
make
sure
this
is
confirmed
on
the
record.
We
at
our
previous
meeting
I,
think
of
City
Council
and
of
this
committee,
approved
a
new
development
charges
by
a
law.
H
That's
that's
going
to
go
forward
and,
and
can
I
just
confirm
with
staff
that
this
particular
project
Eggland's
in
East
LRT,
is
one
that
was
specifically
listed
as
part
of
the
justification
for
the
development
charge
increases
and
that
this
project
could
be
funded
in
part
by
some
of
the
proceeds
of
that
development.
Charge,
increase
going
forward
and
I
think
the
you
might
just
confirm
for
me
as
well.
H
E
H
You
also
confirm
for
me
that
of
the
nine
billion
dollars
I
think
you
mentioned
in
a
previous
answer.
Just
under
five
billion
coming
from
the
federal
government,
there's
also
been
a
sum
of
it,
I
believe
a
four
billion
dollars
coming
from
the
province
and
that
that
nine
billion
dollars
is
being
allocated
to
the
city
of
Toronto
for
a
priority
list
of
projects
of
which
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
is
one
and
therefore
a
portion
of
that
nine
billion
dollars
could
be
attributed
to
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
when
we
make
those
allocations.
E
H
Just
to
really
I
guess,
it's
reiterate
your
own
advice,
the
meaning,
the
staff
professional
staff
to
us
that
that
is
it
fair
to
say
that,
first
of
all,
because
we
have
the
money
available
from
phase
1
of
the
federal
money
that
that
allows
us
to
pay
for
the
planning
and
design
work
were
authorizing
to
look
at
the
extension
to
Malvern
and
pay
for
it.
And
do
the
work.
Now
and-
and
that's
true-
is
that
true.
E
E
H
R
You
mr.
chair
I
just
came
in
today
to
give
this
my
full
hearted
support
and
I
hope
that
this
will
get
approved
unanimously
here
at
executive
committee
and
unanimously
at
the
full
council
when
I
look
back
at
the
alcohol
since
the
megacity
began
under
the
mail
last
'men
I
can't
recall
any
expansion
plans
for
transit
and
Scarborough
under
the
David
Miller
government
four
of
seven
years,
I,
don't
remember
any
money
being
approved
by
our
Council
for
transit
expansion
in
Scarborough.
R
The
provincial
government
was
very
nice
to
us
with
the
Eglinton
crosstown,
which,
although
eighty
percent
of
it
is
not
in
Scarborough,
some
does
go
crosses
the
border
in
the
Scarborough.
We're
very
grateful
for
that
and
under
the
Ford
administration
we
were
able
to
pax
a
pass,
a
tax
increase
to
make
sure
that
the
Scarborough
subway
is
fully
funded,
100%
funded,
so
I
look
at
the
LRT
project
today.
This
means
that
we
are
investing.
R
We
actually
have
approved
under
this
administration
the
smart
track
stations
and
the
smart
track
plan,
which
will
give
an
incredible
improvement
of
service
for
anyone
living
in
Scarborough
and
and
help
them
to
get
downtown
or
to
the
Kennedy
subway
or
wherever
they
want
to
go
in
Scarborough
a
lot
faster.
So
we've
got
the
smart
track
program
fully
funded
in
Scarborough.
We've
got
the
subway
extension
fully
funded.
We
have
improved
bus
service,
fully
funded
in
Scarborough,
a
33
percent
increase
in
the
operating
budget
of
the
of
the
TTC,
which
includes
Scarborough
as
well.
R
So
we
have
more
wheel,
trans,
more
night,
Express,
more
express
buses
and
more
buses
on
every
major
street
in
Scarborough,
so
I
think
right
now,
mr.
mayor
were
spending
more
money
in
Scarborough
than
we
ever
have
in
the
history
of
Scarborough
and
certainly
in
the
history
of
the
megacity
and
I'm
glad
we're.
Finally,
getting
it
and
I
think
if
somebody
says
well,
why
are
we
spending
so
much
and
money
in
Scarborough?
The
answer
is,
is
because
Scarborough
is
vast.
R
It's
a
third
of
our
geographic
area,
it's
25%
of
our
population
and
it
has
the
least
amount
of
transit
service
of
our
entire
city.
North,
York
and
Scarborough
were
about
the
same
population,
we're
about
the
same
size.
North
York
has
17
subway
stations.
Scarborough
has
three.
So
there
has
been
a
historic
imbalance
from
from
the
perspective
of
folks
in
the
East
I.
R
Look
at
our
subway
station,
for
example,
it's
gonna
have
70,000
people
a
day
going
through
those
turnstiles
I've
got
a
list
here
of
stations,
including
things
like
Summer
Hill,
that
has
six
thousand
people
a
day
using
the
station
Rosedale
of
six
thousand
people
a
day
using
the
stations
and
I
fully
support
us
providing
transit
service
to
those
downtown
residents.
If
you
live
in
Rosedale,
you
live
in
Summer
Hill,
you
live
in
any
of
the
stations
you
live
on,
Jane
at
20,000,
you
live
on
queen
or
king.
R
R
H
J
You
very
much
mr.
mayor
Sameera,
I
too,
want
to
lend
my
support
to
the
item
in
front
of
us.
I
had
this
week,
the
two
community
town
hall
meetings
and
it
probably
had
probably
about
a
hundred
and
twenty
hundred
and
thirty
people
at
the
Town
Hall,
one
of
the
central
things
that
we
talked
about
was
transit
and
transportation
for
Scarborough,
because
people
realize
how
important
this
is.
We
talked
about
the
subway
Lordan.
Fourth,
expansion
to
the
Scarborough
town
centre.
J
There
were
a
number
of
people
from
my
Ward
who
had
been
following
the
news
and
had
said
well,
you
know
we're
hearing
that
it's
a
very
expensive
proposition
in
terms
of
advancing
the
the
Bloor
dan
forged
subway
to
the
Scarborough
town
centre
and
I
proceeded
to
explain
to
the
residents
as
to
why
it
was
important.
What
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
actually
looking
for?
We
have
in
the
Scarborough
town
centre
area,
a
number
of
which
come
to
be
recognized
essentially
share.
J
We
have
a
number
of
condo
developments
that
are
on
the
go
at
Midland
and
and
Lawrence.
We
have
probably
about
4,000
units
coming
in.
In
addition,
we
had
a
gentleman
who
came
to
the
meeting
and
he
is
looking
to
for
space
about
200
or
so
or
250,000
square
feet
of
space,
and
he
said
to
me:
you
know
if
you
guys
don't
build
better
transit
in
Scarborough.
The
jobs
are
not
going
to
come
and
I've
heard
that
time
and
time
again.
Finally,
some
attention
is
being
made
in
terms
of
addressing
this
issue
in
2005
I.
J
Think
who
was
when
I
was
a
chair
of
Scarborough
community
councillor
I
brought
in
Mitch
Stambler
and
I
said?
Is
there
a
transit
plan
for
Scarborough
and
he
said
no
councillor,
it's
just
a
general
transit
plan
for
the
city
of
Toronto
and
I
said
well,
you
know,
Scarborough
has
been
left
behind
for
a
long
time
and
we
missed
the
boat
probably
35
years
ago.
When
we
didn't
want
the
expansion
of
the
subway,
then
we
took
the
then
whatever
the
you
dds
transit
system
that
was
being
built
was
going
to
be
innovative
and
so
on.
J
We
learned
that
that
was
the
only
system
that
was
built.
It's
a
system
that
we've
had
to
deal
with
now
from
many
years
and
so
I
think
for
many
of
us
in
Scarborough.
We're
no
longer
going
to
accept
this
notion
that
everyone
else
knows
better
what
we
need
and
in
fact
we
should
not
have
an
expanded
subway
system.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
certainly
I
want
more
stops
and
I
would
want
to
see
the
cost
at
a
you
know:
affordable
a
number
whatever.
J
That
means
quite
Franky's
I,
don't
know
the
details
at
this
particular
point
in
time.
Information
is
still
coming
forward,
but
if
I
say
this
with
respect
to
this
planets
in
front
of
us,
we
need
to
move
on
with
this
LRT
expansion,
but
with
respect
to
the
subway
advancement.
If
we
never,
if
we
don't
bill
it
now,
we
will
never
build
it
and
the
reason
why
we'll
never
build
it,
because
it
will
never
be
any
cheaper.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
L
You
Mara
Torrey
I'm
gonna
be
supporting
the
recommendations
in
this,
and
mainly
I'm
gonna
speak
about
the
Eglinton
East
LRT
extension
from
Kennedy
to
UTSC
UTSC
years
ago,
when
former
mayor
Miller
had
his
transit
plan
in
a
luck
to
building
an
LRT
system
up
into
at
least
University
of
Toronto
Scarborough.
We
created
an
amazing
partnership
with
the
University
of
Toronto,
Scarborough
and
University
of
Toronto
for
the
creation
of
the
PanAm
Center
and
in
the
report
that
we
just
approved
the
PanAm
Center
is
doing
amazing.
It
has
the
highest
amount
of
revenue
in
its
history.
L
It
has
the
highest
number
of
gate
attendees,
but
there
was
a
partnership
at
that
time
and
the
partnership
was
UT.
Students
would
agree
to
build
and
help
fund
the
PanAm
Center
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Toronto.
If
we
built
an
LRT
to
that
campus,
you
know
it's.
It's
been
a
long
time
coming.
If
I
look
at
the
transit
city,
LRT
version
that
was
originally
looked
at
and
it
was
how
we
can
get
people
from
point
B
to
point
B
without
putting
a
lot
of
concern
in
between
I
was
at
a
number
of
town
halls.
L
In
my
community,
where
residents
raised
issues
about
that,
the
bottleneck
of
traffic
at
Kingston,
Road
and
Morningside,
Kings,
Road
and
Lawrence
area,
and
how
that
is
going
to
be
dealt
with,
what
we're
looking,
we
have
a
solution
for
that.
We
had
a
town
hall
meeting
a
couple
of
months
ago.
They
raised
again
and
TTC
staff
said
that
they
would
deal
with
that
at
the
University
of
Toronto
Scarborough.
It's
actually
on
the
east
side
of
a
ravine.
There
was
talk
of
tunneling
through
that
area
and
a
number
of
different
options.
L
The
the
proposal
that's
before
us
today
at
a
crate
I
think
it
respects
the
what
the
University
of
Toronto
needs
and
respects
what
residents
in
this
area
need
this
lines
going
to
go
through
five
neighborhood
improvement
areas,
which
I
think
is
very
important.
You
know
people
want
jobs
in
that
area.
They
want
to
be
able
to
get
quickly
to
jobs.
I've
had
developers
when
this
was
brought
up
a
couple
of
years
ago
came
to
my
office
and
said:
how
quickly
is
this
going
to
be
done?
We
owned
property
on
Kingston
Road.
L
We
want
to
develop
property
having
an
LRT
go
through.
That
area
increases
the
value
of
our
property.
We
want
to
be
part
of
that
neighborhood.
One
of
the
other
transit
components
of
this
is
integrating
transit
in
the
city
of
Scarborough.
We
have
another
item
on
this
agenda.
Talking
about
our
aging
population.
Well,
there's
a
bus,
rapid
transit
line
along
Ellesmere,
that's
going
to
run
from
the
Scarborough
transit
from
the
Scarborough
town
centre
to
the
Oshawa
Center
I.
L
Think
that's
going
to
be
key
in
getting
people
across
Scarborough
into
Durham
I've
been
working
on
a
pilot
project
for
78
years,
and
you
know
once
again
that's
key
to
the
seniors
and
the
older
people
in
my
area,
when
it's
really
hot
a
really
cool
trying
to
get
out
many
of
the
bus
lines
that
only
run
east-west
being
able
to
have
a
community
bus
connecting
with
the
LRT,
the
BRT
I
think
is
gonna
bring
huge
changes
to
Eastern
Scarborough
I
know
when
you
were
running
for
office
a
couple
years
ago.
They
mentioned
this
again.
L
There
was
a
mosque
that
we
opened.
The
man
said
it
took
him
almost
two
hours
to
get
from
Port,
Union
and
Kingston
Road
to
the
transit
to
get
to
his
work
and
I
think
this
line
having
this
build,
all
the
connections
are
going
to
be
very
important
to
Scarborough
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
it
built.
Thank.
H
You
Thank
You
councillor
Zee,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
with
your
concurrence
and
and
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
this
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
I
think
we
do
there.
The
the
third
of
only
three
deputies
on
this
matter
just
arrived
and
was
a
bit
late
and
I
proposed
to
hear
her,
because
you
know
there
were
only
three
and
so,
if
I
could
ask
Cheryl
Lewis
the
Rebbe
to
come
forward,
we
could
revert
with
your
concurrence
to
deputations
for
the
three
minutes
and
any
questions
and
then
go
back
to
the
speakers
good
morning.
B
H
Monaca
ly
to
speak
to
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
the
matter
of
the
of
that
proposed
inquiry
was
already
dealt
with
and
deferred
indefinitely
by
the
committee,
so
you're
down
as
speaking
to
the
Eglinton
East
D
LRT,
which
is
the
matter
that
we're
on
right
now,
and
so
are
your
comments
devoted
to
that
at
all,
or
were
you
on
this
on
this
matter
of
the
other?
The
other
thing
you
mentioned
well.
H
Well
that,
for
whatever
reason,
that's
the
matter
that
you
were
listed
as
de
PUE
ting
on
you're
not
listed
as
defeating
on
the
other
item
in
any
event,
and
it's
now
been
deferred
indefinitely,
so
it
won't
be
dealt
with
here
today
and
so
I
apologize
to
you,
because
somehow
there
was
a
mixup
in
what
you
were
listed
as
defeating
on,
and
it
also
means
we
wouldn't
revert
to
deputations
again
to
hear
you
if
it's
not
on
this
matter
that
we're
presently
speaking
about
it.
Okay,.
B
H
B
H
B
H
B
H
K
If
you
live
in
Scarborough
and
you
try
to
get
into
the
center
of
the
city,
you
probably
feel
like
you're
living
in
the
905
yep,
because
it's
that
hard
to
get
in
and
that
much
transit,
that's
lacking,
and
it's
far
too
long
that
we
haven't
thought
of
the
city
as
a
city
as
a
whole
and
the
fact
that
people
around
the
entire
city
have
to
get
from
place
to
place
and
we'd
like
them
to
go
by
public
transit.
So
this
is
a
great
project.
I
think
it
should
move
forward.
K
My
colleague
was
showing
me
three
motions
that
we
had
looking
at
the
extension
of
the
Sheppard
subway
that
haven't
come
up.
I,
say
it
because
it's
rest
with
the
city
manager's
office,
who's
here
and
I
hope
that
we'll
give
her
a
copy
of
the
previous
motions.
And
you
can
find
out
where
those
studies
are
at
as
well,
because
Toronto
is
a
whole
downtown
is
the
center
for
some
people,
but
not
for
all.
K
K
The
every
single
project
that
we
have
on
the
books
is
needed,
whether
it's
the
relief
line,
whether
it's
a
shepherd
subway,
whether
it's
the
LRT
plans,
they're
desperately
needed
with
the
influx
of
people
to
the
city
and
how
difficult
it
is
now
to
get
around
the
city
by
car
and
by
public
transit.
So
moving
this
forward
now
I
think
is
something
that's
simply
telling
our
colleagues
in
Scarborough
as
a
whole
we're
there
for
you,
we
care
about
you
and
we
are
supporting
your
projects
and
that's
why
I
spoke
here
today.
Thanks.
H
To
councillor
shiner
any
other
speakers:
well,
if
not
all
I'll,
just
reset
the
clock
and
simply
say
this,
this
is
a
report
that
I
think
very
wisely,
and
you
heard
the
staff
confirm
that
it
is
meant
to
accelerate
in
a
small
way
but
accelerate.
Nonetheless,
the
work
on
the
Eglinton
East
LRT,
which
I
remind
members
of
council,
is
a
project
that
is
on
our
identified
priority
list
of
projects
which
we
submitted
to
the
other
governments
for
their
funding
and
there's
just
been
the
slightest
home
a
little
bit.
H
That's
come
in
to
some
of
the
discussions
today
on
this
that
sort
of
says
we
should
be
finding
one
more
reason,
perhaps
not
to
do
this
acceleration
because,
for
example,
well
I
mean
there
are
some
people
out
there
who
just
plain
disagree
with
with
project.
We
always
find
reasons
not
to
do
things
in
the
city,
and
there
are
some
who
just
plain
disagree,
and
so
this
morning
we
had
people
who
are
prepared
to
use
any
means
to
put
roadblocks
in
the
way
of
transportation
approved
by
the
City
Council
by
a
majority
of
the
City.
H
Council,
including
you
know,
means
roadblocks
that
would
throw
our
public
professional
public
servants
under
the
bus,
and
then
we
have
people
saying
well,
there's
no
money
yet
formally
allocated
for
this
project.
Therefore,
somehow
that
should
slow
down
doing
this
additional
planning
work
to
take
this
up
to
Melbourne
and
I
would
point
out
that
that
you
know
we
have
right
now
a
situation
where
we've
got
nine
billion
dollars
from
the
other
governments
which
we
did
not
have
at
the
beginning
of
this
administration.
H
And
furthermore,
we
have
something
even
better
I
think
which
is
in
the
middle
of
a
provincial
election
campaign.
We
have
parties
literally
flocking
to
want
to
fund
some
of
the
projects
that
have
been
talked
about
around
this
building
for
years
for
decades,
and
not
a
penny
was
put
into
them.
No
was
done
and
we
have
priority
leaders
flocking
to
say:
I
want
to
give
even
more
to
those
projects.
H
So
to
me,
the
notion
that
there's
no
money
formally
allocated-
and
we
heard
councillor
Thompson's
very
excellent
comments
about
the
past
and
where
we
said
previous
councils
prior
to
my
time
here,
wanted
to
proceed
ahead
with
projects
and
you
went
and
got
the
money
when,
when
you
when
you
could
do
so,
but
then
even
on
that
argument,
it's
not
so
because
that
there's
the
other
argument
that
was
being
advanced
here
this
morning.
There's
no
obvious
money
available
for
this
project
and
we
had
the
staff
confirmed
that
we've
got
increased
development
charges.
H
I
am
hearing
from
people
more
and
more
every
day
get
on
with
building
it
do
not
start
to
put
up
these
arguments,
and
these
roadblocks
and
these
kinds
of
things
and
I
will
say
to
people
we
are
building
it.
Smart
track,
I
passed
by
this
weekend
again
a
place
right
in
Scarborough,
where
the
foundations
of
smart
track
are
being
built.
The
subway,
the
Scarborough
subway
some
of
the
infrastructure
construction
in
current
terms
of
utilities
that
have
to
be
moved
to
accommodate
that
subway.
H
That
construction
is
happening
this
summer,
because
that
subway
is
moving
forward
and
on
the
LRT.
This
recommendation
asks
you
simply
to
consolidate
the
planning
into
one,
so
we
can
move
ahead
faster
and
consider
it
as
one
when
the
report
comes
back
in
the
new
year
and
so
I
encourage
members
of
council
to
to
support
this,
because
it
will,
through
the
Scarborough
network
transit
plan,
subway
extension,
smart
track
and
LRT
bring
much-needed,
crucially
needed
transit
and
with
it
jobs
and
investment
to
Scarborough,
and
so
there
any
other
speakers
that
want
us
be
okay.
H
H
A
Have
been
involved
with
the
senior
strategy
since
2012,
first
on
the
seniors
expert
panel
and
then
on
the
accountability
table
I
also
work
with
the
older
Women's
Network
and
I'm,
currently
studying
senior
resilience
at
U
of
T
I
applaud
the
continued
existence
of
a
senior
strategy
and
I'm
especially
pleased
that
2.0
is
the
result
of
co-creation
between
seniors
groups
and
relevant
city
staff.
I
hope
this
cooperation
continues
in
the
next
term
of
council.
I
also
hope
that
other
city
initiatives
can
all
have
co-created
planning.
A
As
you
read
the
report,
you
see
the
extensive
community
consultation
excellent,
but
very
time
consuming
and
not
feasible
as
a
method
for
all
future
consultations
for
all
city
initiatives.
There
are
ways
to
include
the
voices
seldom
heard
in
future
consultation
such
as
reaching
out
to
randomly
chosen
seniors
or
other
residents
to
implement
the
spirit
of
senior
strategy
2.0.
It
is
crucial
that
coordination
of
senior
services
must
improve
with
a
new
turn.
Council
should
give
seniors
at
least
as
much
tension
as
childcare,
and,
ideally,
a
specific
Committee
of
counsel
can
be
created.
A
With
regard
to
the
way
these
recommendations
are
presented,
there
are
27
recommendations
as
opposed
to
the
90
one
of
1.0,
but
instead
of
general
statements
of
long
short,
medium
and
long
goals.
We
have
the
specifics
of
now
and
within
the
next
term
of
counsel
Bravo.
Some
of
the
recommendations
stand
out
for
me
as
seniors.
Caregivers
strategy
is
long
overdue,
caregivers
who
come
from
all
age
groups,
but
women
especially
bear
the
brunt
from
lost
wages
and
subsequent
lower
pensions
to
the
repeating
demands
of
caring
for
parents,
spouses
and
other
family
and
friends.
A
Don't
just
consider
senior
friendly
outdoor
fitness
equipment.
Many
of
us
have
been
active
for
years
and
and
others
can
renew
the
sense
of
fun
that
they
had
with
as
their
younger
selves.
It
is
one
way
to
delay
dementias.
There
are
a
number
of
housing
recommendations
because
of
the
serious
shortage
of
affordable
housing.
I
will
expand
later,
but
housing
and
community
hubs
need
be
need
to
be
considered
together.
Social
housing
is
mentioned
in
the
healthy
food
recommendations.
A
Please
remember
when
you
talk
of
social
housing,
you
also
mean
coops,
where
people
of
many
different
economic
levels
live
in
equitable
conditions.
I
also
suggest
that
instead
of
Aging
in
Place,
we
talked
about
Aging
in
community.
We
should
not
have
to
choose
between
remains
remaining
in
a
large
difficult
to
maintain
home
or
moving
to
a
long
term
care
facility
that
may
not
be
in
our
local
community.
We
should
be
able
to
live
in
appropriate
housing
for
our
needs
within
our
community
and,
of
course,
new
models
such
as
intergenerational
Co
housing,
offer
promise
senior
strategy.
A
H
A
H
You
said
one
of
the
things
I
noticed
in
the
report
and
I've
talked
about
this
before
or
is,
and
it
really
underpins
in
some
respects
the
the
item
I
think
you're
also
listed
to
defeat
on
which
to
do
with
the
seniors
housing
that
it
isn't
just
about
housing.
It's
about
trying
to
take
what
is
in
the
seniors
strategy
report
correctly
referred
to
as
a
sliced
up
service
delivery
system
and
trying
to
bring
it
together
so
that
it's
not
impossible
for
seniors
to
navigate
it.
H
A
Think
that's
something
that
people
are
not
getting
enough
information
on,
so
we're
not
always
reaching
seniors
and
we
run
into
problems
because
the
older,
older
seniors,
the
oldest
old,
frequently,
are
not
computer
savvy
or
do
not
have
access
to
computers,
especially
when
people
are
low-income
and
getting
to
the
local
library
to
use
computers
can
be
difficult.
So
it's
really
extremely
important
that
we
try
to
reach
people
where
they
are
and
also
try
to
get
people
to
understand.
What's
going
on.
A
If
we
could
get
seniors
to
be
able
to
access
their
community,
we
would
be
preventing
a
great
deal
of
loneliness
that
can
lead
to
mental
health
issues.
It
would
also
keep
people
physically
more
active,
so
we
need
to
put
these
pieces
together
in
one
complete
strategy,
which
is
why
I'm
suggesting
that
we
need
to
have
a
coordinated
area
of
the
city.
We
have
so
many
services
that
are
in
so
many
pieces.
It's
great
that
we
have
a
seniors
advocate,
but
that
is
not
enough.
It's
a
great
first
start,
but
it's
not
enough.
Thank.
H
O
Too
anyways
I
really
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
Toronto
seniors
forum,
Toronto,
seniors
forum,
we've
identified
issues
that
are
that
we're
prioritizing
and
some
of
them
within
housing.
We
support
inclusionary
zoning
universal
design,
improvements
in
social
housing.
We
are
concerned
about
the
overcrowding
in
the
TTC,
accessible
issues,
signage
and
affordability,
and
for
years
we've
been
pushing
for
dental
and
vision
care
for
low-income
seniors
and
we're
concerned
about
the
long
term
care
homes,
weightless
and
the
impact
the
housing
has
on
our
health.
O
We
are
in
support
of
vision,
zero
and
as
such,
we
are
featuring
that
at
our
annual
June
event
on
June
1st,
upon
review
of
that
report,
x34
I'd
like
to
point
out
a
few
recommendations
that
are
currently
on
our
priority
list.
However,
we
do
support
all
27
recommendation.
1
will
make
it
easier
for
seniors
to
access
city
services
for
seniors
and
I.
Think
any
in
my
in
my
senior
world.
Many
do
not
use
the
three
one
one
and
the
two
one
one
numbers
or
have
access
to
smart
equipment.
O
They
get
confused
by
these
things,
and
so
they
don't
know
how
to
get
help.
It
is
confusing
and
frustrating
when
we
are
searching
for
something
or
need
help
recommendation
2.
We
have
been
advocating
for
free
dental
health
services
for
low-income
seniors
for
years
and
will
continue
to
push
for
it.
Recommendation
9
will
help
deal
with
the
shortage
of
affordable
senior
housing
in
Toronto.
O
We
cannot
apply
for
these
units
until
we're
59
years
old
and
in
some
cases
like
mine,
I,
waited
12
years
to
take
get
a
house
together,
affordable
housing
in
a
seniors
building,
so
by
then
with
too
late.
Almost
recommendations,
10
and
11
will
also
assist
with
their
housing
needs,
and
we
have
written
support.
Recommendation
we've
written
a
support,
recommendation
to
number
11
and
think
that's
to
do
with
home
share
and
something
else
like
that
and
we
hope
to
be
involved
in
the
planning
of
it.
O
Recommendation
17
covers
our
priorities
with
transit,
as
we
mentioned
before,
we
plan
to
be
involved
with
vision,
zero
on
the
identification
of
further
senior
safety
zones
and
recommendation
26.
We
are
going
to
be,
and
we've
always
been
involved
in
going
out
into
the
wards
with
senior
fares
when
we're
asked.
We
support
this.
The
tenants
first
and
report
that's
coming
up,
but
I'm,
not
speaking
on
it,
however,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
accessibility
of
accountability
table
and
we
do
support
vision,
two
points.
So
sorry,
I'm
scared
of
speaking
in
Doctore.
O
H
I
Thank
you
for
speaking
to
us
today,
you
mentioned
about
the
seniors.
Fair
is
one
of
the
recommendations.
I've
been
thinking
forward
about
how
that
might
operationalize,
and
it
reminds
me
sometimes
about
our
environment
days,
where
we
have
events
all
over.
The
city
and
I
wondered
from
your
perspective
and
your
experience
with
these.
What
are
the
most
important
aspects
of
the
the
fairs?
Are?
They
are
the
public
events
that
I
think
connect
people
or
engage
people.
What
do
you
think
they'll
be
looking
for
in
those.
O
At
one
fair
and
every
time
we
had
information
on
the
Toronto
seniors
forum
and
there
were
other
services
there.
The
biggest
question
was
trying
to
find
affordable
housing
and
they
didn't
know
how
to
navigate
the
waiting
list.
You
know
that
Toronto
Smith
went
on
Alma
Street
right
because
it
it's
very
difficult
to
you,
so
that
was
usually
the
biggest
thing
you
know
it's
almost
like.
I
And
one
other
question
for
you:
if
you
did
one
in
every
ward,
you'd
be
looking
at
over
45
a
year
and
it
would
take
the
entire
year
to
run
through
the
course
do.
You
think
it
would
be
more
efficient
or
preferable.
I
should
say
preferable
to
have
maybe
fewer
events
but
larger
ones
on
a
more
frequent
basis.
Just
in
your
estimation,
your
judgment.
O
Because
look
at
Scarborough
there's
so
much
space.
You
know
you
North
Scarborough
South
Scarborough,
like
we
were
at
near
the
subway
station
when
we
did
the
one
in
Scarborough
and
I.
Think
I
can't
remember
where
the
other
one
was
and
but
I
think
they're
gonna
come
out.
If
there's
more
there-
and
maybe
some
speakers,
you
know
maybe
some
free
food
to
coffee.
O
H
H
F
Social
panic
Toronto
was
involved,
but
so
are
so
many
stakeholders
in
so
many
variety
of
ways
that
people
reached
out
to
and
engaged
and
setting
up
a
strategy,
accountability
table
to
actually
work
with
this.
The
city
on
the
solutions
I
saw
all
the
recommendations
that
were
proposed.
Reidy
serves
as
a
model
for
policy
development.
In
this
priority
of
concern,
I
was
going
to
talk
about
our
own
research
released
last
year
on
the
demographic
change
in
Toronto
and
give
some
statistics
I.
F
Don't
have
a
lot
of
time
for
that,
but
clearly
one
of
the
fastest
growing
populations
in
the
city
are
those
over
65
years
of
age
and
especially
those
even
fast
degree,
twice
the
rate,
the
normal
growth
of
population
between
now
and
2020.
Six,
ten
years
from
now,
it's
even
more
growing
more
quickly
actually
in
the
older
age
group,
and
this
is
citywide
and
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
So
this
is
especially
true
about
25
percent.
More
women
in
this
older
category
has
as
we
proceed
through
into
the
next
decade.
F
I
want
to
comment
on
the
sea
of
strategy
in
terms
of
its
use
of
the
World
Health
Organization
in
age-friendly
framework
for
principles
of
equity,
accessibility
of
physical
environment,
inclusiveness
in
the
social
environment.
Excellent,
the
adoption
of
integrated
service
system
management
approach,
as
referred
to
earlier,
is
an
excellent
idea
across
the
city's
five
functional
service
areas,
some
really
innovative
stuff
around
how
to
support
people
in
their
own
homes.
F
As
we
all
know,
stable
homes
enables
more
effective
delivery
of
other
social
and
health
supports
and
supports
Aging
in
place
in
community
and
avoids
or
delays
placement
institutional
settings.
In
fact,
you
know
one
good
measure
of
the
success
of
the
strategy
ten
years
or
five
years
from
now
might
be
the
reduced
rate
of
admission
to
long
term
care
by
supporting
people
in
the
home
and
especially
recognizing
the
importance
of
informal
care
so
supporting
family
caregivers
and
actually
accomplishing
the
objective
of
having
seniors
remain
active
in
their
own
communities.
F
Report
also
recognizes
that
you
must
not
see
the
senior
population
as
monolithic
but
in
fact,
very
diverse
the
intersection
with
all
kinds
of
diversity
that
we
know
well
we're
about
to
release
our
own
report
soon
in
in
June.
That
points
to
the
fact
that
lingua
language
diversity
is
really
important.
If
one
of
the
issues
is
getting
information
to
people
and
awareness
of
services,
then
clearly
what
we
have
to
be
aware
is
that
be
able
to
communicate
with
people
45%
of
Toronto
residents,
not
speaking
French
or
English
or
seniors.
That's
over
60,000
people.
F
This
is
especially
true
for
over
seventy
five
year
olds
and
will
only
get
worse
the
next
decade,
we're
not
worse,
but
to
need
to
be
accommodated
over
the
next
decade
to
innovative
senior
strategy
approaches
like
represented
here.
So
we
support
senior
strategy
version,
two,
its
ambitious
but
clear,
and
how
to
move
forward
in
the
immediate
and
the
medium-term
and
social
planning
trial
hopes
that
the
funding
for
the
next
stage
of
implementation
will
be
included
in
the
next
city
budget.
Thank.
H
You
very
much
mr.
Carter
Brooke.
Are
there
questions
of
the
deputy
by
could
I
just
ask
you
one
I'm,
just
I'm,
very
I,
don't
wanna,
say
fixed
on,
but
I'm
very
sort
of
focused
on
this
business,
of
making
the
system
more
navigable
and
having
a
better
partnership
in
terms
of
actual
service
delivery
to
seniors,
because
I
think
right
now,
like
a
lot
of
areas,
it's
just
a
nightmarish
for
people
to
confront
the
system
and
I
wondered
if
you
would
just
comment
on
that
from
where
you
said.
H
F
H
H
S
You
very
much
mr.
Mehra
and
the
executive
committee,
the
so
my
role
is
I'm,
a
geriatrician
I
work
with
some
of
the
city's
most
brailers
elders
and
and
those
who
are
doing
well
I'm
also,
as
some
of
you
know,
I'm
also
the
co-chair
of
the
City
of
Toronto
senior
strategy
accountability
table
I
also
have
a
role
provincially,
where
I'm,
the
provincial
governments
advisor
on
seniors
and
also
I've
just
been
appointed
as
the
Toronto
central
Linz
seniors
seniors.
Lead
I
was
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
the
development
of
the
senior
strategy
here
in
Toronto.
S
That's
after
we
released
our
provincial
career
senior
strategy
back
in
2012.
That
really
gave
some
recommendations
that
allowed
us
to
then
create
a
strategy
in
2013
that
again
was
passed
unanimously
with
91
cost-neutral
recommendations.
I
have
to
say
that
I'm
very
grateful
that
we
have
actually
implemented
90
of
the
91
recommendations.
The
only
thing
we
couldn't
do
was
actually
move
forward
seniors.
S
Dental
now,
in
terms
of
senior
strategy,
2.0
you've
heard
about
the
level
of
engagement-
that's
occurred
over
10,000
people
engaged
across
44
wards
and
again
people
were
talking
about
health
and
wellness,
housing
and
transportation
as
some
of
their
greatest
issues.
Many
are
very
grateful
for
the
variety
of
services
that
are
received
here
in
the
city,
but
again
they
know
that
things
could
be
could
be
better
in
terms
of
the
27
high-impact
recommendations.
S
You've
heard
about
there,
18,
which
we
want
to
be
able
to
initiate
within
one
year
and
the
rest
that
can
be
initiated
within
two
to
four
years
and
I
want
to
speak
to
just
the
broad
overlay
of
these
aspects.
First
of
all,
we
want
to
recognize
that
our
senior
population
in
Toronto
is
growing
rapidly,
and
this
is
a
positive
thing,
but
how
do
we
actually
make
things
better?
We
recognize
that
the
status
quo
cannot
continue.
Mr.
S
That's
one
example
of
how
we
could
actually
make
things
accessible,
because
we
don't
even
have
that
on
the
City
of
Toronto
website
at
the
moment
in
terms
of
integrated
services
for
seniors
again,
the
key
is
what
we
want
to
do
with
this
report
is
actually
create
a
structural
real
so
that
we
can
actually
organize
services
and
services
and
housing
together
in
one
overall
entity.
I
just
want
to
finally
remark
that,
again
about
that
seniors
action
plan,
the
one
billion
dollars
of
the
province
has
actually
committed
towards
seniors.
S
S
Centers
Toronto,
I'm,
proud
to
say,
has
received
eight
of
the
new
40
that
are
being
funded,
but
none
of
these
were
applications
led
by
the
city,
because
we
did
not
have
a
coordinated
approach
and
again
we
were
receiving
ten
out
of
the
30
$200,000
seniors
community
grants
none
only
one
initiated
by
the
city,
but
the
others
initiated
by
citizens,
because
other
jurisdictions,
I
reviewed
all
the
grants
were
actually
well
coordinated
by
Mississauga,
Ottawa
and
Hamilton
that
actually
had
a
coordinated
approach
and
we
were
actually
challenged.
I
stop
you.
H
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr.
Marin.
Thank
you
very
much
for
coming
in.
It's
widely
believed
in
New,
York,
Center
and
North
York
that
the
central
line'
gave
the
green
light
to
the
North
York
General
Hospital
to
shut
down
the
Branson
Urgent
Care
Center,
which
was
community
community
health
care
vital
for
one
of
the
highest
concentration
of
seniors
in
the
city
and
I'm.
Just
wondering
what
the
likelihood,
because
of
your
connection
with
the
land
that
that
decision
can
be
reversed.
S
And
so
it's
answer
your
question.
So
I
am
actually
the
seniors
lead
for
the
Toronto
central
in
it's
confusing,
because
our
city
actually
has
five
different
Lin's
that
actually
support
it,
which
doesn't
help
the
city
to
a
certain
extent,
but
in
terms
of
the
central
lens
approach.
I,
don't
know
too
much
about
the
details
of
why
they've
made
the
decision
to
close
the
Branson
Lynn,
but
we
do
actually
have
a
new
City
of
Toronto
table
where
the
5gta
Lynn's
actually
meet
with
the
city
manager
and
where
we
can
actually
bring
an
issue
like
this.
H
R
S
So
great
question
the
so
right
now
we
have
14
Lin's
across
Ontario,
there's
five
that
actually
share
territory
with
the
City
of
Toronto.
Currently,
this
current
government
has
actually
made
the
decision
to
eliminate
the
CC
ACS
and
actually
merged
those
programming
with
the
Lin's,
obviously
we're
in
a
provincial
election.
We
will
see
what
the
new
government
of
the
day
wants
to
do
in
terms
of
whether
coordinating,
but
currently
when
there
was
some
realignment
of
things
going
on
recently
with
the
merger
of
the
CC
ACS.
None
of
the
borders
in
the
GTA
were
changed.
S
I
find
it
highly
problematic
personally,
as
a
citizen,
because
my
patients
don't
know
which
Lin
they're
in
and
frankly
in
Etobicoke
particular,
we
have
four
Lin's
that
intersect
at
an
intersection
and
I
can
tell
you
with
certainty
that,
depending
on
which
corner
you
get,
you
will
actually
get
a
different
level
of
home
care,
which
is
not
fair
for
the
citizens
of
Toronto.
My.
B
R
H
S
So
this
report,
the
provincial
report,
had
166
recommendations
over
two-thirds
of
them
have
been
fully
implemented,
but
that
actually
was
tied
with
a
lot
of
money
which
again
my
previous
criticism,
was
that
the
city
didn't
take
full
advantage
of
those
opportunities.
The
City
of
Toronto
senior
strategy
1.0
had
91
recommendations.
90
of
those
have
either
been
fully
implemented
or
partially
implemented,
and
that
has
been
overall
at
a
cost
neutral
basis.
Various
divisions
have
actually
worked
within
their
own
budgets
to
actually
do
those
things.
S
There
are
things
that
the
federal
government
is
initiative
for
seniors
that
have
been
withdrawn,
because
the
uptake
was
low
and
I
surmised
that
the
uptake
has
been
low,
because
not
enough
people
knew
about
them
if
we
can
actually
support
our
own
citizens
to
say
these
are
the
I'll
give
you
an
example.
The
federal
government
in
the
recent
budget
passed
the
new
Canada
caregiver
credit
that
I've
been
advocating.
For
years.
We
have
8.1
million
caregivers.
They
are
now
each
eligible
for
sixty
eight
hundred
dollars
a
year
through
their
taxes.
S
That's
something
that
I,
don't
think
many
of
the
counselors
may
know
about,
and
many
caregivers
here
in
Toronto
know
about
as
well.
We
also
have
other
grants.
For
example,
one
thing
that
was
recently
announced
was
the
was
in
the
budget
that
was
just
passed,
750
dollars
for
every
senior
LED
household
in
the
province
to
help
with
things
like
snow,
shoveling
and
household
maintenance.
S
Let
me
translate
that
our
folks
here
at
the
city
got
me
the
data
we
have
a
hundred
and
twenty
one
thousand
senior
led
households
in
Toronto
who
were
said
that
led
by
senior
seventy
five
and
older.
If
we
got
every
single
one
of
those
individuals
simply
just
to
apply
for
their
funding,
that
would
translate
into
ninety
1
million
dollars
more
that
we
could
actually
use.
S
There
are
great
examples
of
jurisdictions
in
the
UK
and
others
where
they
actually
take
advantage
of
these
opportunities
to
say
the
city
can
provide
a
coordinated
response
where
we
don't
and
I'll
give
you
an
example
right
now.
We
shovel
the
driveways
of
2,500
older
seniors
here
in
Toronto
for
an
annual
cost
of
400,000.
You
could
with
91
million
dollars,
you
don't
and
that's,
and
that's
at
a
hundred
and
sixty
dollar
unit
costs
per
household.
Imagine
when
every
senior
household
in
Toronto
is
now
eligible
for
a
750
dollars.
S
The
city
could
provide
a
coordinated
response,
remember
other
services
and
actually
have
a
profit
motive
that
could
actually
support
and
actually
support
other
services
as
well.
That's
a
federal
that
is
a
provincial
one
that
was
just
passed
the
other
day
of
the
in
our
budget,
750
per
senior
household,
which
would
translate
291
million
dollars
available
to
the
citizens
of
Toronto.
Okay,.
J
You
very
much
for
Samira
through
you,
you
mentioned
about
the
dental
issues
for
seniors.
What
do
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
really
address
this,
because
it
appears
to
me
that
we
have
brusca
Toronto
has
their
dental
school,
for
example,
where
people
can
go
in
and
get
some
assistance?
Some
of
the
hospital
provides
some
services
and
so
on.
What
is
it
that
we
need
to
do
that
we're
not
doing
now,
and
if
we
were
to
do
it?
That
in
fact
would
provide
the
care
for
seniors
I,
respectfully.
S
Say
councillor
to
your
question,
we
just
have
to
wait
till
June
7th.
Why
do
I
say
that?
Because
over
the
last
number
of
years,
through
our
city
of
Toronto
senior
strategy
ribbon
that
gave
us
a
vehicle
to
advocate
to
the
province
through
my
role,
I've
worked
with
all
the
parties.
I
don't
belong
to
a
political
party,
but
really
helped
raise
the
issue
in
government
and
with
all
of
our
parties
around
the
importance
of
low
income.
S
Seniors
dental
I'm
very
happy
to
say
that
all
three
parties
have
not
only
committed
to
low
income,
seniors,
dental
in
various
ways,
shapes
or
forms.
But
again
that
will
be
available,
I
believe
within
a
year's
time.
That
means
that
it
behooves
us
as
councillors
as
citizens,
to
make
sure
that
our
citizens,
especially
our
low-income
seniors,
know
how
they
can
access
that
service
that
won't
be
only
available
for
citizens
of
Toronto,
but
also
all,
but
also
all
older
Ontarians
who
fit
into
that
category.
S
So
all
three
political
parties,
if
you
want
to
look
at
their
platforms,
have
committed
to
low
income
at
least
seniors,
dental
or
broader
population.
So
we
will
accomplish
that,
but
we
need
to
take
advantage
of
it.
You
will
also
see
that
seniors.
Pharma
care
is
something
that
is
actually
coming
through.
The
current
government
has
proposed
that
and
has
agreed
to
launch
that
as
part
of
the
previous
budget,
and
we
have
other
parties
that
I
believe
are
campaigning
around
similar
aspect
of
that
as
well.
S
We
also
have
new
funding
for
long-term
care
beds
that
has
actually
been
announced
up
for
up
to
30,000.
Each
of
the
three
political
parties
have
committed
to
at
least
30,000
new
beds,
and
again
there
have
been
other
announcements
that
are
coming
through,
so
these
are
again.
This
is
why
I
come
back
to
the
idea
that
we
want
to
not
only
cap
services,
coordinated
for
seniors
and
counselors,
and
anybody
else
and
physicians
like
me
to
be
able
to
navigate
these
services
easily
more
easily
for
these
older
adults.
S
But
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that,
as
these
new
initiatives
happen,
we
actually
do
have
an
entity.
This
is
what
we're
talking
about
in
the
report
as
seniors
housing
and
services
entity
that,
just
like
the
city
of
Toronto's
Children
Services,
can
actually
well
respond
to
these
these
pieces.
Well,
our
counselor
before
was
asking
counselor
a
deputy
mayor
holiday
about
the
seniors
fairs,
for
example,
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
the
current
Ministry
of
seniors
Affairs
has
actually
put
more
investment
for
seniors
fairs
to
occur,
and
again
we
could
take
advantage
of
it.
S
How
do
we
get
that
funding?
We
have
to
apply
if
we
had
a
seniors
of
housing
and
services
entity
that
again
could
create
coordinated
responses.
We
would
more
likely
get
some
of
that
new
funding
to
run
those
seniors
fairs.
Just
like
I
see
as
they
travel
the
province,
Mississauga
Hamilton
Ottawa.
They
are
machines,
they
always
get
the
money.
Why?
Because
they
know
how
to
ask
and
they're
coordinated
in
that
way.
So
I
really
see
an
opportunity
how
we
can
lead
in
Toronto
as
well.
I
did.
J
J
S
So
I
think
again,
there's
an
opportunity
that,
while
seniors
are
the
fastest
growing
group
counselor
in
terms
of
utilizing
technology,
they're,
the
fastest
growing
group
using
Facebook,
Twitter
and
other
methodologies.
We
know
that
there
are
some
older
adults
who
can't
afford
the
internet,
who
can't
actually
afford
a
computer
and
aren't
maybe
actually
intimidated
by
using
new
technology.
There
are
some
great
programs
that
are
being
initiated
around
the
province.
We
were
hoping
actually
one
of
our
ideas
that
we
were
trying
to
put
forward.
S
But
again
we
coordinate
for
an
application
in
time
for
a
senior's
community
grant,
which
I
was
certain
that
we
could
have.
One
was
where
we
actually
take
advantage
of
our
network
of
libraries.
Toronto
Public
Library's
has
great
computer
opportunities
than
again.
We
wanted
to
apply
ideally
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
grant,
where
we
could
actually
offer
intergenerational
programming
and
training
sessions,
and
we
actually
did
fund
through
the
Ministry
of
Senior
Affairs,
these
programs
to
occur
in
other
jurisdictions.
Where
again,
they
can
train.
H
Ex-Cons
Thompson
any
other
members
of
the
committee.
Okay,
well,
I
just
had
one.
It
was
really
following
up
on
this
exact
line,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
I
think
you
have
said
in
terms
of
that
question.
That
I
said
I
would
ask
you
later,
which
is
you
keep
talking
about
the
existence
of
us?
H
As
you
say,
you
know
getting
it
right
away.
The
housing
thing
I
have
a
sense,
won't
do
it,
because
it's
only
housing
to
do
with
Toronto,
Community,
seniors
housing.
So
just
tell
us
where
what
would
you
contemplate
us
having
in
place
and
what
do
the
other
cities
have
in
place
that
allow
them
to
go
and
get
these
grants
and
do
it,
as
you
say,
like
it,
with
with
military
efficiency,
so
that
we
get
that
money
and
can
provide
it
to
our
seniors.
Thank.
S
You,
mr.
mayor,
so
so
in
terms
of
last
June
I
deputed
on
the
tenants
first
initiative,
which
really
talked
about
that
opportunity
to
help
bring
out
those
85
seniors
housing,
housing
building.
We
actually
saw
that
as
the
accountability
table
as
our
opportunity
to
now
say
with
that
housing.
We
also
know
that
it's
not
just
about
housing.
As
you
said,
it's
about
services
as
well,
and
we
see
this
becomes
the
great
anchor
point
for
ACE
integrated,
seniors
housing
and
services
division.
The
way
if
I
could
actually
have
my
dream.
S
I
would
see
that
it
would
not
only
include
those
those
Toronto
Community
Housing
buildings,
but
it
could
also
coordinate
services
across
the
other
community
housing
buildings,
but
also
start
giving
a
home
to
our
long-term
care
homes
that
the
city
operates
and
runs
ten
in
total,
but
also
all
these
other
forty
seven
services.
It's
not
a
matter
of
saying.
We
now
bring
one
entity
and
run
all
those
services,
but
we
can
actually
have
a
more
coordinated
approach.
So
the
current.
S
What
the
currently
is
in
store
is
that
there
is
some
staff,
secand
mints
and
some
plans
together
to
try
and
help
create
a
core
of
a
senior's
housing
and
services.
Division
and
I
would
say
the
way
we
could
predicate.
This
is
on
our
our
our
C,
our
children's
division,
for
example,
that
it
really
is
launched
around
the
daycare
services
and
then
helps
coordinate
other
things.
That's
how
other
cities
have
actually
done
it
well
and
I.
S
Just
ask
that,
as
you
take
a
look
at
this
opportunity
and
you
take
a
look
at
the
resourcing
that
we've
always
been
incredibly
conservative
in
what
we've
asked
for
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
investment.
As
you
can
hear,
we
engage
10,000
seniors
from
across
the
city
who
actually
think
this
is
a
great
idea.
S
You've
already
heard
my
previous
colleagues
and
deputies
who've
really
said
that
this
resonates
with
them
and
they
think
this
would
be
exactly
where
we
need
to
go
and
that's
actually
how
I
see
it
being
coordinated
and
organized,
and
it
really
gives
us
an
opportunity,
as
you
said,
with
military
precision,
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
people
are
getting.
What
they
need
that
the
city
doesn't
lose
out
on
potential
funding
opportunities
and
that
we
really
make
Toronto
the
best
city
to
grow
up
and
grow
old
and
just.
H
One
final
question:
on
the
very
same
thing:
again:
I
just
was
glancing
through
while
you
were
speaking
and
I
apologize,
I
was
listening
to
what
you're
saying
we're.
Also
just
looking
in
the
recommendations.
I,
don't
see
anything
that
sort
of
speaks
specifically
to
this
notion
of
a
place
as
it
were,
that
sort
of
make
sure
that
we
for
what
there
is
as
she
glanced
through
the
recommendations.
Again
is
a
multiplicity
of
places
where
people
do
things
and
recommendations
they
do.
They
were
better,
but
not
a
place.
H
S
S
So
I
know
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
great
work
in
terms
of
the
co-creation
here
with
city
staff
to
say
this
I
would
just
if,
if,
if
I
was
mayor,
if
I,
if
I
was
a
counselor,
I
might
actually
say
you
know
what,
as
you
said
before
with
transit,
you
know.
Why
are
we
thinking
about
it?
If
we
know
this
is
what
we
need
to
do?
S
Let's
actually,
let's
respond
to
this
by
saying-
let's
actually
just
commit
towards
seeing
that
through,
because
I
think
that's
if
we've
been
speaking
around
the
margins
in
terms
of
that
recommendation,
that
it's
not
as
clear
as
what
you
think
and
and
and
hopefully
the
other
councillors
think
would
be.
The
obvious
thing
to
do.
I
would
hope
that
we
could
just
actually
move
towards
that.
But
again,
I've
always
worked
with
the
city.
S
I've
always
worked
with
the
province
by
saying
what
can
we
practically
get
done
and
I
think
there
is
a
commitment
towards
looking
at
a
structural
realignment,
but
there's
a
lot
of
politics
at
play
here
as
well,
and
we
and
we
want
to
just
make
sure
that
this
moves
forward.
Ultimately
to
that
vision
that
you've
articulated
is
mr.
mayor.
Thank.
H
You
dr.
scene
I'll,
be
careful
what
you
wish
for
about
being
mayor
by
the
way,
but
I'm
sure
this
matter,
I'm
sure
this
matter
of
structure
will
come
up
in
the
questions
to
staff
later
on,
but
I.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
and
answering
all
these
questions
much
appreciate
and
for
your
work.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
P
You
good
morning
near
touring,
members
of
Executive
Committee
advocates.
My
name
is
Katherine
Wilkinson
and
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with.
I
am
the
outgoing
tenant
director
at
tron
community
housing.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
say
this
report
before
us
is
brilliant
and
it's
life-changing
and
I
need
not
I'm.
P
Gonna
bottom
of
my
heart
last
year
experienced
firsthand
the
challenges
caregivers
face
when
assisting
seniors
and
it
really
hit
home
for
me
as
I
considered
how
the
seniors
in
Tirana
and
Keaney
housing
would
fare
when
they
needed
help
most
that
the
city
has
brought
the
necessary
stakeholders
together,
including
all
three
levels
of
government
to
address.
This
issue
is
remarkable:
establishing
a
dedicated
one-stop
shop
for
seniors
housing
and
services.
What
a
will
not
only
better
meet
their
needs.
It
will
ensure
that
nobody
gets
left
behind.
P
I'm
gonna
just
speak
to
a
couple
of
recommendations.
Number
6a,
acknowledging
the
desperate
need
for
caregiver
support
and
respite
will
go
a
long
way
to
ease
not
only
the
stress
of
caregivers,
some
of
whom
pay
the
price
with
their
own
health
recommendation.
10
I
cannot
understand
why
we
can't
house
homeless
people
quicker
in
the
city.
Chronically
housing
has
hundreds
of
Bachelor
units.
They
can't
give
away
something
to
consider
recommendation.
14
I'm
really
excited
and
support
the
goal
of
Toronto
becoming
the
first
major
city
in
Ontario
to
commit
to
becoming
an
age-friendly
City.
P
For
me,
still
more
needs
to
be
done
beyond
the
bricks
and
mortar.
We
must
educate
society
and
businesses
to
be
the
eyes
the
ears
and
the
heart
of
the
city.
I'll,
give
you
a
lift
example
which
actually
happened
outside
of
Toronto,
but
could
very
well
have
happened
here.
My
83
year
old
dad
was
not
at
our
usual
meeting
place
in
that
instant
I
felt
panic
and
fear
about
where
he
could
be,
and
if
he
was
safe.
We
all
watched
the
news.
It
was
minus
23
inch
snowing.
P
H
K
We
promote
understanding
and
positive
attitudes
to
aging
and
work
to
counteract
ageism
and
discrimination.
We
encourage
the
participation
of
older
adults
in
all
aspects
of
community
living
and
to
educate
public
understanding
and
awareness
of
Aging
issues
coming
at
the
end
of
the
depth.
Items
I
won't
repeat,
but
I
will
want
to
emphasize
what
the
people
speaking
before
me.
You
have
have
made
points
on.
K
K
H
You
very
much
miss
wells.
Are
there
questions
of
Miss
wells
from
members
of
the
committee
or
otherwise?
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
your
thoughts.
We
appreciate
that
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
the
list
of
deputations,
and
so
that
would
take
us
then,
to
questions
of
staff
there.
Any
members
of
council
all
visiting
with
us
that
want
to
ask
questions
of
staff
I,
don't
see
any
okay
questions
of
staff
from
one
thing
I
might
clarify.
Just
before
we
go
to
questions
of
staff.
To
avoid
a
bunch
of
questions.
H
The
city
managers
brought
to
my
attention.
The
fact
that
in
the
next
item
coming
up
were
at
one
of
the
two
I
had
the
housing
item,
there
actually
is
a
recommendation
to
get
back
a
report
on
creating
this
services
entity
for
seniors.
I
took
it
because
it
was
inside
the
housing
item
that
it
referred
only
to
CCAC,
but
in
fact
it's
much
broader
and
really
refers
to
exactly
what
the
doctor
and
a
number
of
the
other
deputies
were
saying
to
us.
So
there
actually
is
a
report
coming
back
on
restructuring.
H
I
think
those
there
were
word
that
was
used
that
could
take
place
and
we'll
see
that
when
we
deal
with
the
item
on
seniors
housing
coming
up,
but
it's
a
general
item
and
not
specific
to
TCH,
see
when
I
read
it
I
thought
it
was
only
TCH
see.
Are
there
other
questions
of
staff
on
this
matter?
Okay,
deputy
mayor
and
council,
we
can
say:
okay,
Thank.
I
You
mr.
mayor
I,
looking
for
the
number
here,
but
it's
it's
really
a
question
for
PFN-
are
there
is
a
recommendation
here
about
modifying
some
of
the
plans
that
we
may
have
for
exercise
systems
and
Parks
to
be
more
supportive
of
seniors
and
I
wondered
if
stuff
could
expand
a
little
bit
on
the
program
that
we
have
or
or
or
plans
that
we
have
to
implement
fitness
equipment
in
the
parks?
And
you
know
where
that
funding
comes
from.
I
B
I
Thank
you
and
I'll
ask
a
question
to
different
staff
about
the
proposal
for
seniors
information
fairs
and
I
just
wondered
how
far
we
were
in
the
planning
for
that,
because
I
noticed
it's
the
medium
time
horizon
and
just
along
the
lines
of
the
question
that
I
had
asked
the
speaker
today
about.
What's
the
vision
for
how
these
are
going
to
work,
is
it
is
it?
Is
it
the
idea
that
we'd
have
one
in
every
Ward
or
would
we
have
something?
T
The
chair,
the
recommendation,
is
to
initially
do
it
at
a
ward
level,
although
if
a
group
of
wards
or
community
identified
that
a
different
geography
would
work
more
efficiently
than
then
we'll
certainly
pursue
that
in
terms
of
who
will
actually
do
the
work.
It's
the
community
resources
unit
in
social
development,
finance
and
administration
who
are
working
in
communities
across
the
city
nail
do.
I
We
have
any
concerns
over
I
guess:
fatigue
from
the
groups.
That
would
tend
the
particular
events.
So
if
there
was
a
mainstay
group
that
it
that
attended
all
40
pegasus
47
now
that
that
they
may
have
trouble
making
it
to
all
of
the
events
and
is
there
any
any
thought
beyond
looking
maybe
pushing
opportunities
to
consolidate
into
larger
events?
I.
T
Believe
part
of
the
intent
is
to
do
these
community
specifics,
so
we
would
work
with
the
local
community
to
understand
what
issues,
in
particular
our
priority
in
that
part
of
town
and
tailor
the
sessions
to
the
local
communities
where
there
are
issues
or
information
need
that
are
citywide.
Absolutely.
We
would
look
at
at
more
regional
events
or
citywide
events
to
to
distribute
that
information.
Thank.
B
L
T
Through
the
chair,
hopefully,
there
will
be
more
housing
available
and
therefore
we
won't
have
a
need
for
additional
seniors,
designed
shelters.
We
know
that
there
is
demand
now,
that's
why
the
initiative
is
happening
but
and
if
need
be,
we
will
have
then
have
a
program
model
that
we
can
use
further.
But
ideally
it
will
be
housing,
not
shelters
that
that
people
are
living
in
okay.
L
T
Of
the
recommendations
are
funded,
so
we've
tried
to
and
working
with
the
accountability
table,
identify
activities
that
are
already
funded
and
able
to
move
forward.
There
are
some
that
will
require
a
funding
strategy.
The
broader
dental
service
is
a
very
good
example
where
we
will
need
to
have
additional
funding,
and
that's
where
we've
indicated
I
would
start
in
a
in
a
year.
Okay,.
L
And
then
I
was
looking
at
the
version
1.0,
so
there
was
91
recommendations
69
and
been
fully
completed,
21
or
star
partially
completed
some
of
those
are
being
rolled
into
version
2.0
and
then,
when
I
looked
at
the
appendix
at
the
back
of
the
there's
another
list
of
recommendations
and
they
total
almost
131
so
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
how
that
list
of
131
does
that
get
incorporated
into
2.0?
Or
is
there
a
3.0
coming
where
they're
gonna
roll
into
that?
So.
Q
Through
the
chair,
what
that
is
is
a
list
of
recommendations
that
came
from
the
accountability
table
most
the
the
high-impact
recommendations,
the
27
high-impact
recommendations
were
fully
processed
through
staff,
so
they
were,
they
were
discussed
whether
they
were
feasible
or
you
know,
who
would
do
them
budget
etc,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
additional
recommendations
from
members
of
the
accountability
table
of
just
things
that
were
not
fully
thought-out
in
terms
of
the
policy
development.
So
who
would
they
impact?
Q
G
B
Through
the
chair,
the
mobile
dental
unit
is
100%
funded
by
the
province.
Therefore,
the
programs
that
are
delivered
through
the
mobile
unit
are
reserved
for
provincially
funded
program.
The
seniors
dental
program
is
funded
100%
by
the
city
and
therefore
we
really
are
not
in
a
position
at
this
time
to
utilize
that
mobile
dental
unit
to
enhance
the
capacity
to
treat
seniors.
We
have
been
advocating
to
the
province
to
do
so,
but
have
not
been
successful
to
date.
G
T
G
G
Emergency
response,
whether
it's
an
extreme
weather
event,
or
whether
it's
an
industrial
accident
or
so
forth.
What
is
embedded
in
here
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
that
there's,
specific
and
unique
needs
in
high
concentration
of
senior
neighbourhoods,
for
immediate
response
and
in
certain
whether
it's
blackouts,
whether
it's
an
ice
storm,
whether
it's
an
industrial
accident.
What,
where
can
I
look
for
quick
solutions
when
we
have
our
vulnerable
populations?
That.
T
H
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
Meera,
first
of
all,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
staff
for
their
work
on
this.
This
is
not
not
an
easy
piece,
as
our
population
is
growing
exponentially,
certainly
65,
60,
65,
and
over
and
preparedness
for
the
Aged
quake,
which
is
pretty
well
on
us
already,
is
essential,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
we
have
to
look
closely
at
at
what
what
services
are
there
making
sure
that
people
understand
that
those
services
are
available?
G
Our
office
has
to
constantly
educate
our
populations,
about
the
tax,
a
tax
deferral
program,
the
tax
increase,
elimination
and
and
how
that
all
works.
At
the
same
time,
housing
continues
to
be
the
major
theme,
although
I
know
where
the
next
item
is
focus
on
housing.
Dozens
of
seniors
come
into
our
our
office
looking
to
get
into
social
housing,
environment,
and
the
first
thing
we
do
is
examine
their
paperwork.
Look
at
the
choices.
G
They
have
made
the
areas
that
they
said
the
city
they
want
to
live
in,
and
the
kind
of
units
that
are
applying
for
and
much
of
the
paperwork.
It's
not
appropriate
for
their
situation
and
we
work
with.
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
working
with
them
to
making
sure
that
the
paperwork
is
appropriate
and
that's
an
ongoing
conversation.
G
We've
got
to
look
more
and
more
at
at
our
bachelor
units
and
leveraging
the
capacity
there,
as
well
as
fixing
up
empty
units
that
are
no
longer
inhabitable
due
to
state
repair.
Another
issue
we
have
to
look
at
is
wheel,
trans
north
of
Steel's
and
create
a
more
harmonized
system
with
the
with
the
city
of
bond,
making
sure
that
we
can
do
our
best
to
link
up
with
services
up
there.
G
So
we
don't
have
to
leave
seniors
on
street
corners
at
a
regular,
rather
regular
concern
is
actually
the
integration
of
the
senior
transportation
network
between
the
city
of
Toronto
and
the
City
of
Vaughan.
But
that
being
said,
this
is
an
ongoing
conversation.
I
think
I'm
gonna
have
some
motions
up
at
Council,
but
I
want
to
just
one
thank
staff
again
for
their
diligence
on
this
file.
Thank.
H
Q
You
and
I
do
have
a
motion
on
this
item
and
I
also
want
to
start
by
thanking
staff.
There
was
an
incredible
amount
of
work
that
was
done
in
here
to
engage
with
the
communities
and
to
bring
forward
a
strategy
that
is
supportive,
inclusive
of
the
seniors
and
the
groups
that
have
been
very
for
a
very
long
time.
Working
on
on
this
issue.
So
there's
there's.
Q
Basically,
two
big
issues
that
are
brought
forward
is
not
only
the
coordination
that
is
needed
with
the
supportive
services
for
seniors
and
the
much
better
work
that
we
need
to
do
to
leverage
these
services
to
provide
a
better
service
to
seniors
and
then
there's.
Obviously,
the
issue
around
housing
and
the
motion
that
I
have
in
here
is
specific
to.
Q
That
is
something
that
we've
been
working
on
are
already
on
on
seniors
housing,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
more
than
just
seniors
housing
that
we
start
looking
at
the
continuum
of
care
for
seniors
and,
most
importantly,
to
create
the
opportunity
for
people
to
move
around
one
of
the
things
that
I
keep
hearing
from
seniors.
For
example,
in
my
community,
a
lot
of
them
would
love
to
be
able
to
move,
for
example,
to
a
smaller
house,
but
they
don't
want
to
leave
their
community.
Q
They
don't
want
to
leave
everything
that
they
know
for
for
the
last
40
years.
So
as
we're
planning
our
city
as
we're
planning
our
housing,
it
is
really
important
that
we
keep
in
mind
that
we
have
to
create
opportunities
for
people
to
be
able
to
move
into
their
communities.
I
was
reading
a
study
that
said
that
in
our
in
our
in
the
Greater
Toronto
Area,
we
have
about
2
million
empty
rooms
in
our
city.
Well,
why
do
we
think,
as
that
is
because
people
do
not
see
the
opportunity?
Q
You
know
they
don't
see
anything
else,
they'd
like
they
desire
to
move
from
where
the
houses
they
have
right
now.
So
how
do
we
create
the
opportunity?
So
people
can
still
be
in
their
communities,
have
the
services
that
they
need
and
feel
like
they
are
independent,
contributing
members
of
the
society
and
housing
is
a
big
big,
big
part
of
that.
Q
Q
If
they
need
to
move,
then
from
you
know:
affordable
housing
to
long-term
care
housing
that
there's
those
systems
are
in
place
in
our
communities
to
truly
serve
people
around,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
when
we
would
do
this,
we're
not
only
facilitating
all
the
housing
for
the
seniors.
We're
facilitating
all
the
housing
for
the
families
that
then
will
bend
from
the
houses
that
the
seniors
will
make
available
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
there's
a
whole
ecosystem,
as
I
usually
call
it.
Q
H
H
Think
that's
a
very
heartening
and
important
thing
to
be
able
to
say
when
you
move
on
to
2.0,
because
sometimes
you
move
on
to
2.0
and
nobody
really
takes
account
of
whatever
happened
to
1.0
I'm
disheartened,
by
what
we've
heard
from
dr.
Sinha,
in
particular
about
the
fact
that
there's
money
left
on
the
table,
who
you
know
by
the
City
of
Toronto,
as
distinct
from
other
municipalities,
who
do
a
better
job
of
taking
advantage
of
these
different
programs
that
are
offered
by
the
other
governments.
H
We
are
not
in
a
position
to
leave
money
on
the
table
and
it's
not
even
about
money.
It's
about
the
fact
that
that
means
in
turn,
that
our
seniors
are
missing
out
on
some
of
the
benefits
of
of
those
programs
that
are
financed
by
the
other
governments
and
so
I.
Think.
That
is
a
really
clarion
call
for
us
to
do
better
on
that
which
is
not
await.
2.0
doesn't
await
even
the
establishment
of
a
senior's
entity
which
I
hope
is
going
to
happen.
H
H
It
is
you
know
it
is
this
Byzantine
system
that's
in
place,
if
you
didn't
know
better
you'd,
almost
think
that
it
was
a
deliberate
obstruction
course
or
obstacle
course
put
in
way
put
in
the
way
have
Fenian
people
to
make
it
difficult
for
them
to
find
their
way
to
the
service
that
they
need
and
I
think
we
have
to
rectify
that.
That's
all
of
us,
as
governments
together
saying,
there's,
got
to
be
a
much
more
easily
understood
and
easily
used
system
to
get
these
services
that
are
out
there.
H
This
huge
numbers
of
programs-
we've
heard-
probably
10
different
ones
referred
to
this
morning
and
that's
a
that's,
a
that's
a
tip
of
the
iceberg,
so
I
I
think
this
is
a
wonderful
piece
of
work.
It's
a
good
start,
but
I
think
there's
some
things.
We
have
to
do
collectively
and
work
with
the
other
governments
to
actually
make
sure
it's
easier
for
seniors
to
get
the
help
that
they
often
need
to
make
sure
they
can
live
a
good
and
independent
life,
as
most
of
them
want
to
do
so.
H
If
there's
no
other
comments
that
anybody
wants
to
make,
we
would
be
able
to
proceed
first
to
deal
with
councilor
bylaws
amendment
emotion
rather
and
then,
which
mends
the
item
it
proposes
to,
and
then
we
can
deal
with
the
item
itself.
So
we
just
wait
for
that
to
come
back
and
we'll
put
up
on
the
screen
counts,
thereby
allows
motion.
H
So
there's
the
motion
by
deputy
mayor
by
Lao,
and
you
can
see
it
there,
she's
moved
it
all
those
in
favor
posed
carried
and
then
the
item
is
amended
all
those
in
favor
opposed
carried.
Thank
you
very
much,
very
good
piece
of
work
and
thank
you
to
the
DEP
units
who
are
here
with
us
today
that
helped
us
a
lot
okay.
H
H
A
Seniors
liaison
committee
and
a
student
at
U
of
T
researching
senior
resilience
and
a
senior
or
more
properly
an
older
adult.
The
proposed
integrated
service
model
calls
for
partnering
with
the
central,
the
Toronto
central
Lin
and
the
Ministry
of
Health
and
long-term
care
to
integrate
services.
Of
course,
the
Serrano
central
Lin
is
only
one
of
the
five
Lin's
that
service
Toronto
and
the
surrounding
regions
good
to
begin
with
one
Lin,
but
to
be
successful,
all
the
lens
will
eventually
have
to
be
included.
It
is
crucial
that
there
is
a
robust
senior
hubs.
A
Plan
senior
hubs
located
in
or
near
the
new
seniors
housing
entity
or
any
housing
with
a
large
number
of
seniors
will
be
instrumental
in
maintaining
and
improving
seniors
physical
and
mental
health
places
where
seniors
can
engage
in
mental
stimulation.
Physical
activity
and
social
connections
are
places
that
will
enable
seniors
to
live
longer,
more
healthy
lives
with
a
reduced
incidence
of
dementias.
These
locations
may
or
may
not
be
at
seniors
active
living
centers,
but
they
must
be
open
to
seniors
from
the
greater
community.
A
The
tenants
for
first
tenants
senior
advisory
panel
should
continue
to
play
an
important
role
in
implementing
the
tenants
first
policy.
Ideally,
the
committee
should
evolve,
should
evolve
into
a
co-creating
body
to
plan
the
program
management
of
the
hubs
similar
to
that
of
the
senior
strategy,
assuming
recommendations
from
items
XIX
34
to
an
e^x
34
3.
Our
motion
to
go
forward
to
the
next
city
council
meeting.
They
will
join
CD
28.1
as
seniors
issues
if
approved,
they
must
not
be
hived
off
into
separate
silos
from
implementation.
There
should
be
as
much
integration
of
implementation
as
possible.
A
I
also
cannot
only
hope.
I
mean
I
can
only
hope
that
the
confidential
portion
of
the
recommendations
is
a
plan
to
replace
the
uninhabitable
buildings
with
a
plan
to
create
new,
affordable
housing
on
the
sites
not
just
partially
new
new,
affordable
housing,
but
completely
new,
affordable
housing
do
not
just
build
a
high-rise
and
put
the
8
scattered
housing
units
into
that
high-rise.
It
should
become
an
affordable
housing
unit.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
P
Pioneer
me
again
wants
to
talk
about
this
important
report
before
us
item
34.3,
so
to
save
some
time,
I'm
just
gonna
mention
the
action
items
by
the
numbers
from
the
previous
report.
Glad
to
hear
the
emergency
response
system
is
working
for
so
many
people's
phones
in
2008
tronic
in
housing
reduced
the
number
of
operating
units
from
27
to
13,
as
many
of
us
know,
which
centralized
many
of
the
tenant
facing
services,
this
model
did
not
serve
tenants.
Well,
here
we
are.
P
Some
of
the
seniors
are
hard
pressed
to
build,
consistent
and
trusting
relationships
when
some
of
the
staff
they
depend
on
our
constantly
changing.
This
makes
it
far
too
easy
for
seniors
to
slip
through
the
cracks
to
put
the
needs
of
tenants.
First,
adequate
staffing
is
critical
to
the
new
model,
ask
any
tenant
living
intronic
in
housing
and
they
will
know
of
seniors
struggling
in
their
community.
Some
neighbors
try
to
bridge
the
gap
by
providing
supports
where
none
exists
in
action.
P
Establishing
a
separate
seniors
housing
unit
with
dedicated
staff
who
can
focus
on
meeting
the
unique
needs
of
seniors,
will
serve
our
tenants
well,
any
specialized
training
provided
to
staff
in
seniors
buildings
should
also
be
provided
to
staff
in
mixed
buildings
to
ensure
equitable
service
delivery
for
seniors
across
the
portfolio
action.
3
aligning
city
services,
along
with
the
creation
of
the
community
hubs,
helps
to
ensure
that
the
services
are
tailored
to
the
unique
diversity
of
the
tenants
themselves
within
each
community.
P
I
am
pleased
the
transition
team
will
consider
where
the
office
of
the
commissioner
of
housing
equity
should
be
located
in
the
new
entity.
This
office
has
been
quite
successful
in
identifying
the
root
causes
that
lead
to
potential
eviction
of
seniors,
avoids
eviction,
costs
recoups
arrears
that
may
otherwise
be
lost,
is
able
to
access
supports
and
make
appropriate
referrals
to
ensure
seniors
remain
successfully
housed
at
a
cost
of
$5,000
to
evict
a
tenant.
These
resources
could
be
better
invested
in
intervention,
reducing
the
cost
of
homelessness
and
providing
compassionate
treatment
for
our
seniors.
P
P
Thank
you
to
the
tenants
first
panel
members,
city
staff
and
Toronto
Community
Housing
for
your
dedication
to
keeping
the
Tenace
first
parent
focused
and
on
track.
I,
look
forward
to
watching
the
transformation
involved
and
celebrating
the
milestones
along
the
way,
I'm
in
full
support
of
the
eight
recommendations
before
you.
Thank
you.
H
H
N
N
N
B
N
B
N
F
H
N
N
I
am
confident
that
there
isn't
one
person
on
the
executive
committee
or
in
Council
that
would
put
their
mother
into
a
building
where
criminals
are
allowed
to
just
carry
on
where
people
where
you
can
go
out
and
find
excrement
in
the
hall.
Your
people
urinating
in
the
in
their
elevators,
where
your
mother
would
have
to
run
the
gauntlet
with
people
with
gangs
and
so
on,
and
all
of
this
was
what
to
put
down
the
the
waiting
list.
N
Well,
I'm,
sorry
you're,
putting
people
at
risk
and,
in
fact,
you're
putting
the
addicts
at
risk
as
well
and
the
mentally
ill
at
risk
and
all
the
people
that
those
seniors
want
to
put
out
of
those
homes.
Those
buildings,
some
buildings
could
go
for
those
things
we
God
knows.
We
need
more
care
and
and
care
homes
in
long-term
care
and
supportive
housing
in
this
city.
N
All
the
consultations
that
we've
gone
to
and
the
hundreds
of
tenants
that
I've
heard
from
over
the
over
time
I
could
tell
you
stories
that
you
nobody's
listening.
You're
wasting
a
lot
of
money
on
consultations.
If
you're
not
going
to
listen
to
the
tenants
and
tenants,
you
know
nothing
about
us
without
us,
you've
got
to
start
listening
harder
to
the
tenants.
N
H
N
Don't
know
if
people
here
know
it,
but
right
now,
Toronto
Community
Housing
is
going
through
more
consultations
and
right
now
they're
going
through
redoing
a
crisis
priority
system.
You
know
people
here
are
talking
about.
We
know
that
in
10
years
one
out
of
four
people
will
be
a
senior
in
this
city
and
we
don't
only
need
deep,
affordable
housing.
N
We
need
accessible,
affordable
housing
and
and
at
the
present
time,
just
last
week,
TCH
C
was
saying:
oh,
we
only
had
300
applications
for
modifications
in
in
buildings
this
year
and
they
were
proud
of
the
fact
that
they
did
all
of
them
except
85.
Well,
I'm,
sorry
other
people
didn't
put
in
because
they
knew
they'd
have
a
snowball's
chance
of
getting
anything
because
we
have
people
who
are
splitting
up
their
families
because
nobody
puts
up
a
railing
for
the
stairs.
N
We
have
people
where,
last
week
again
I
met
a
young
man
who
had
21
years
old,
develop
mentally
handicapped
was
put
in
a
homeless
shelter,
while
his
mother
and
he's
he
was
on
the
outskirts
of
Scarborough
and
his
mother
was
put
in
a
long-term
care
facility
out
she's
only
56
she's
out
in
Etobicoke
somewhere.
How
often
can
you
even
get
together?
They
need
an
accessible
apartment
with
a
two-bedroom
apartment
and
they
need
to
be
together.
N
This
is
inhumane
and
then
I'm
thinking
of
the
people
who
can't
sleep
all
night
for
the
better
in
seniors
buildings,
where
you've
put
in
other
people
who
are
mentally
unstable
and
there's
ranting
and
raving
all
night
long.
You
can't
get
any
sleep
I'm
just
out
of
hospital
again
myself
for
a
month,
I
was
in
there
and
one
of
the
words
they
put
me
on
in
one
hospital
was
the
geriatrics
ward
and
I
got
to
tell
you.
N
H
But
is
it
possible
that
the
problem
isn't
so
much
that
people
feel
it's
hopeless
because
215
out
of
300
means
quite
a
lot
of
projects
did
get
done
that
the
problem
really
is
we
haven't
educated
people
well
enough
about
how
to
apply
so
they
don't
apply
and
so
that
you
know
that
they
obviously
don't
get
it.
If
you
don't
apply,
is
that
is
it
possible?
We
need
to
do
more
to
make
sure
people
know.
N
When,
when
we
say
modifications,
we
don't
know
it,
Toronto
Community
Housing
meant
they
put
a
stupid
little
bar.
We
don't
know
if
they
meant
means
something
as
small
as
that
when,
when,
when
we're
looking
at
revitalizations
and
everything,
why
are
we
not
looking
at
universal
design?
Why
are
we
not
changing
the
building
codes
and
thinking
of
the
need?
We
have
for
accessible
housing?
My
house,
where
I
live,
isn't
accessible?
N
There
is
no
point
in
putting
in
or
the
transfer
system,
I
started
to
say
before
now,
they're
going
to
have
everybody
who's
on
that
crisis,
waiting
list
is
going
to
be
have
to
all
apply
again
and
now
they're
going
to
rediscover
recreate
what
a
crisis
is
and
for
some
people,
I
mean
there's
been
stupid.
Things
on
that
where
somebody
with
sleep
apnea
thinks
they.
They
deserve
a
transfer
because
the
the
man
snores
and
his
wife
is
tired
of
it.
You
know
no
we're
talking
real
crisis
like
the
like
the
example.
N
H
H
H
B
B
H
And
last
but
not
least,
okay,
now
I
have
you
down
as
four
separate
people,
so
what
I
normally
do
with
that
is
give
you
more
latitude
than
three
minutes
so
that
you
could
have
you
know
six
or
six
minutes
or
so
to
make
your
peace
and
and
then
we
will
have
some
I'm
sure.
Maybe
you
have
some
questions.
Is
that
okay,
just
so
you
don't
feel
unduly
rushed,
and
so
we
appreciate
your
being
here
and
why
don't
you
go
ahead?
Thank.
B
You
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
good
morning,
mr.
mayor
John,
Tory
and
the
members
of
the
executive
committee.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
what
to
say
today.
My
name
is
taka
daka,
Nora
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
talent
first
advisory
panel.
This
panel
is
genuinely
representation
of
the
diversity
of
the
tenants
living
in
Toronto
Community
Housing.
We
range
in
the
ages
of
21
to
80.
B
B
Reflective
of
the
general
population,
some
of
us
have
disabilities.
We
live
in
apartment,
townhouse
and
a
single-family
homes.
Mr.
mayor,
we
were
student
parents
singles
and
seniors.
We
are
actively
engaged
throughout
our
communities.
In
many
ways
a
number
of
us
are
a
tenant
representatives.
Four
of
us
belong
to
the
citywide
tenants
for
social
housing
and
some
are
active
in
disabled
organizations.
B
One
is
with
the
seniors
voice.
One
is
with
the
older
women's
network,
three
work
with
children
and
youth
programs.
One
is
a
co-chair
of
the
inner
city,
Advisory
Committee
of
Toronto
District,
School
Board,
and
one
of
us
belong
to
the
City
of
Toronto
senior
forum.
Mr.
mayor
members
of
the
crew
of
the
executive
committee,
we
support
the
recommendations
in
this
report
that
we
that
will
benefit
seniors
in
TCH
C
and
in
the
city
of
Toronto.
Mr.
mayor,
the
growing
population
of
seniors
is
not
a
burden
to
our
society.
B
Seniors
have
contributed
into
our
society
and
they
continue
to
contribute.
This
growth
of
seniors
is
blessed
to
us.
If
I
just
give
a
little
story
of
a
background
of
mine,
my
father
is
a
senior
and
at
the
moment
he
is
actually
needs
services
and
to
access
support
because
of
that
I'm,
not
a
senior,
but
we
have
seniors.
There
are
family
that
live
in
our
community.
B
Some
of
our
seniors
do
need
to
access
support
and
services,
just
like
my
father,
who
did
everything
in
his
community
his
family
and
now
he
also
needs
some
support,
and
this
is
why
we're
here
for
our
TCC
seniors,
to
get
the
support
and
the
services
that
they
need
accessing
senior
housing
services
to
support
our
services
the
times
now,
and
we
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
and
inviting
us.
Thank
you
for.
H
B
B
So
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
our
consultations
was
the
need
to
better
inform
our
seniors
about
what
programs
are
actually
available
from
the
city
so
that
they
may
access
it.
We
did
have
a
chart
that
listed
city
programs,
provincial
programs
and
federal
programs,
and
they
were
are
really
excited
to
see
this
chart
and
would
like
to
have
that
chart
available
to
them,
whether
it's
through
email
and
whether
it's
through
being
able
to
have
it
actually
posted
in
their
physical
buildings.
B
In
terms
of
the
hubs
that
is
supported
by
the
tenants
first
report,
as
was
noted
earlier
by
many
of
the
earlier
deput
ins,
it
is
important
that,
within
these
hubs
that
the
seniors
have
access
to
health
services,
social
programs,
computer
skills
and
food
programs,
it
was
also
brought
up
that
with
these
hubs,
it
is
also
important
that
the
seniors
have
some
type
of
transportation
access.
Many
of
them
do
not,
for
whatever
reasons
qualify
for
will
trans,
but
would
still
be
in
need
of
some
type
of
community
bus
in
order
to
access
these
hubs.
B
B
Information
meetings
across
the
city
that
was
attended
by
approximately
a
hundred
and
fifty
seniors
so
tenants
that
attended
did.
Let
us
know
that
they
want
better
communication
between
the
residents
and
Toronto
Community
Housing
staff,
and
that
this
would
help
in
declining
the
number
of
people
being
evicted
from
their
homes
due
to
things
such
as
lack
of
filling
out
their
annual
report.
If
there
was
a
better
connection
between
Toronto
community
staff
and
the
tenants,
then
they
would
maybe
understand
that
there
is
maybe
a
mental
health.
Is
she
going
on
or
some
other
problem?
B
H
B
B
Also
heard
that
the
tenants
are
in
need
of
services
in
a
wider
variety
of
languages
that
are
pertinent
to
whatever
communities
they
belong
to.
So
in
the
creation
of
these
hubs,
it's
important
to
have
whatever
languages
are
needed
in
those
hubs
to
be
available,
and
it's
also
important
that
the
seniors
are
involved
in
the
creation
of
the
hubs
so
that
each
one
will
be
geared
to
the
needs
of
that
particular
community,
and
we
really
saw
with
the
great
turnouts
that
we
had
that
seniors
do
want
to
be
consulted.
B
Do
you
want
to
be
involved
in
the
creation
of
anything
that
is
pertinent
towards
them,
and
so
we
will
keep
working
as
an
advisory
panel
with
the
tenants
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
voice
in
all
stages
of
our
work
and
I
will
now
hand
over
to
Sharon.
Who
would
like
to
I
also
add
to
the
conversation.
Well,
you
said
it
all
the
thing
that
I'm
going
to
add
to
it
and
is
because
of
my
own
background
and
I
love.
Community
I
am
a
communal
person.
That
is
my
background.
B
I
will
say
something
in
my
own
language
and
it's
just
a
plain
thing
that
we
greet
each
other
with,
but
it
has
loaded,
meaning
it
says.
Are
you
good?
Are
you
good
mean
that
did
you
eat
today?
Did
you
sleep
today?
Do
you
have
a
secure
roof
over
your
head
or
clothes
on
your
body
and
I
think
these
are
necessity,
needs
and
very
poor
needs
for
for
people
to
function
in
this
society
and
when
I'm
on
the
panel
talking
about
what
we
need
for
seniors
I
have
some
regret.
I
have
regret
mr.
B
mayor,
because
we
shouldn't
be
talking
about
it.
We
should
be
in
place.
I,
think
services
in
place
that
works
for
seniors
and
diced
talked
about
a
lot
of
areas
that
we
need
to
cover,
so
I
won't
even
go
into
them.
All
I
have
to
say
is
that
it's
time
we
step
up
to
the
plate
and
I
hope
we
do
so.
I
am
on
this
panel
because
I
want
to
see
some
changes.
I
live
at
40,
a
skirt,
Avenue
I
mean
I've,
been
falling
around
Anna
Bastille.
B
For
a
long
time,
I
I
was
pushed
out
of
the
Lansdowne
area
Davenport
because
of
I
increase
in
rent
I
moved
down
to
40,
ask
whatever
new
I
love
it
there.
It's
also
a
place
that
I
belong.
I
belong
to
that
area,
because
I
can
walk
to
units.
My
University,
my
University's
rice
and
I
just
completed
my
Social
Work
program.
I
can
walk
to
the
doctor
when
I
don't
have
enough
money
to
take
transportation.
So
I
would
like
to
see
services.
The
service
hubs
come
available,
so
seniors
don't
have
to
spend
your
time
worrying.
B
H
B
Want
to
work
what
they
need,
people
who
cares
it
doesn't
matter,
you
could
have
get
anybody
to
come
and
see
them,
but
they
have
to
care,
because
if
they
don't
care,
if
they
only
care
about
the
paycheck,
then
the
senior
is
not
gonna
get
the
care
that
they
really
need.
So
if
you're
gonna
put
Wendy's
in
place,
this
is
some
of
the
things
I
hear
they
wanted
care
people
who
cared
because
if
I
don't
care,
then
I'm
just
going
there
to
for
my
paycheck.
B
So
these
are
things
that
people
really
want
to
see
caring
people
who
care
about
loving
their
seniors
and
taking
care
of
them
and
making
sure
they
get
the
care
that
they're
needs
and
they
need
out
there
and
and
and
as
she
said,
we
shouldn't
be
here.
Talking
about
these
for
seniors
seniors
coming
to
this
country
are
who
live
here
or
who
bond
here,
and
they
work
all
these.
Their
things
should
be
in
place
already.
B
B
mayor,
please,
and
when
you
put
this
in
place,
if
it
could
be
in
place
for
another
20
years,
not
just
free
the
short
term
thing,
this
should
be
a
long
term
thing
for
the
senior
is
not
a
shorter
and
something
mister
me
please,
and
all
these
counselor
within
your
area,
there
are
juniors
in
all
of
you
guys
areas
you
should
also
look
within
and
making
sure
it's
seniors
get
all
these
things
that
they
need
and
within
your
area.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
You
mister
very
much
and
you
did
well
you
four
times.
3
is
12
and
we're
12
minutes
to
6
very
good.
Are
there
any
questions
of
these
deputies?
I
think
you
made
a
very
complete
presentation.
We
really
appreciate
the
input
on
this
on
this
very
important
item.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
The
four
of
you.
A
H
Have
one
more
to
be
heard
that
that
has
joined
us
and
just
well?
She
I
mean
I
just
take
the
opportunity
to
recognize,
because
we
don't
have
visits
very
often
from
former
mayors,
but
our
former
mayor,
David
Crombie
is
here
and
hello,
David
and
welcome.
Your
matter
is
still
not
gonna
be
dealt
with
till
after
lunch,
even
though
you're
a
former
mayor.
But
having
said
all
that
we're
thrilled
that
you're
here,
that
matter
is
coming
up
right
after
lunch:
Emily
water-
oh
god,
oh
she's,
not
here.
This
is
mr.
mayor.
H
J
That
I
know
myself
and
councillor
de
bear
maker
have
looked
up
to
someone
who
has
been
a
great
and
counselor.
Ainsley
has
been
a
real
merit,
Ori
real
leader
in
Scarborough.
It
is
always
an
honor
and
a
pleasure
to
not
only
be
in
the
same
space
with
her,
but
just
to
be
able
to
greet
her
and
certainly
to
acknowledge
the
former
mayor
as
well.
But
I
want
to
just
to
say
what
an
honor
it
is
to
even
just
being
the
same
room
at
Pauline
on
a
regular
basis.
H
Have
said
the
same
earlier
when
I
saw
but
I
saw
Americana
come
in,
and
my
eyesight
is
so
bad
better
without
that
I
couldn't
see
Miss
brows
there,
but
now
that
you've
brought
her
to
my
attention.
I
can
see
that
it's
her
sort
of
welcome
Pauline
nice
to
have
you
here.
Okay,
that
brings
us
to
questions
of
staff
on
the
tenants
first
report.
Are
there
questions
of
staff
counselor
Fletcher.
T
M
M
M
M
In
the
original
tenets
first,
it
was
suggested
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
that
we
look
at
bringing
the
single-family
homes
out,
which
are
I'll,
call
them
a
specialty
specialty
management
and
put
those
for
an
RFP
which
has
happened.
So
those
who
manage
that
type
of
housing
right
now
will
have
a
chance
to
bid
on
managing
that
separately.
T
M
T
Is
not
the
end,
it
is
an
interim
step,
but
ultimately
to
what
we're?
Not
we
don't
have
the
information
to
provide
advice
to
counsel
so
page
13
of
the
report
provides
the
continuum
of
potential
outcomes.
The
report
is
recommending.
We
do
the
necessary
due
diligence.
We
secure
the
resources
required
to
do
that
to
provide
that
advice
to
Council.
Thank
you
that.
H
I
You
mayor
through
your
staff,
can
someone
talk
to
me
a
little
bit
about
the
it
came
up
today
and
the
speakers
I
shouldn't
I
should
note
about
access
to
transit,
in
particular
layers
such
as
wheel,
trans
and
community
bus.
Can
someone
talk
to
me
about
how
the
interface
works
between
the
new
housing
unit
or
the
or
the
interim
organization
and
service
planning,
with
Toronto
Transit
Commission,
especially
towards
those
types
of
services
that
are
more
likely
to
be
serving
seniors
through.
T
The
chair,
transit
and
accessibility
will
be
one
of
the
elements
that
we,
however,
at
this
moment,
we
have
prioritized
work
with
the
local
health
integration
network
to
ensure
that
we
have
those
critical
health
and
support
services
co-located
in
a
new
model,
the
the
transportation
and
certainly
transportation
programs
through
seniors
agencies
will
be
a
component
of
the
model.
Thank
you.
L
T
T
L
T
L
L
T
Fact,
through
the
chair,
in
fact,
the
analysis
would
be
broader
than
that
we
would
be
looking
at
demand
generally
what
parts
of
town,
what
areas
that
demand
is
in
the
availability
of
Senior
Services
in
proximity
to
buildings
and
identifying
which
buildings
will
best
serve
that
population.
It
may
not
be
the
buildings
that
were
historically
seniors
only
so
that's
not
the
the
basis
that
staff
are
looking
at
it
from;
rather,
it
will
be.
Where
is
the
demand?
Where
are
the
best
services?
What
does
that
picture?
Look
like
okay,.
L
And
exact
gonna
be
looked
at
within
a
geographic
area,
because
now
I
have
I
have
seniors
that
are
looking
at
at
buildings
and
they
don't
have
the
services
and
they're
on
a
like
to
go
from
one.
A
one
building
apartment
to
a
one
building
apartment
for
a
senior
and
TCH
see
like
the
waiting
list
is
huge
through.
H
R
N
R
B
T
The
chair,
the
report
is
recommending
that
the
office
of
the
Housing
Commission
commissioner
be
within
scope,
regardless
of
changes
at
TCH
see,
we
need
to
review
the
Mandate
of
the
office
of
the
housing
commissioner
to
see
if
that
role
should
exist,
system-wide,
in
other
words,
addressing
all
social
housing
units,
not
just
those
managed
by
TCH,
see
all
right.
Thank
you.
H
G
T
G
T
The
intergenerational
benefits
have
been
well
researched
and
advocated.
I
think
the
issues
that
we
were
hearing
from
the
deputies
is
when
there
are
residents
who
are
not
seniors,
who
don't
have
appropriate
supports
for
their
tendencies
to
be
successful,
whether
that's
mental
health
supports
or
other
health
supports
issues
arise
and
not
that's
the
issue
that
we'll
be
looking
to
address
through
the
the
model
development
to
make
sure
that
people
have
appropriate
supports.
G
T
G
Right
just
very
quickly
to
follow
up
to
the
earlier
motion
above
the
office
of
the
commissioner
of
housing
equity
in
the
footnote
on
page
12,
it
seems
as
if
staff
doesn't
have
an
efficient
on
on
whether
it
would
be
located
within
this
housing.
Seniors
housing
portfolio
is
there.
Is
there
doubts
about
its
efficacy
or
its
role
that
it
can
play.
H
Council
Pasternak
other
questions
of
staff.
Okay
and
now
just
kind
of
I
can
just
see
how
we're
doing
here.
I
know
council
of
ragged
ox
is
gonna,
be
first
to
speak.
How
many
are
wishing
to
speak
from
the
executive
committee?
Oh
okay,
I
need
to
councillor
flexure
as
well
all
right.
Well,
we
won't
finish
this
before
lunch.
What
we
can
do
is
get
started
on
the
speeches
and
perhaps
counselor
Brackett
I
guess
you
could
go
first,
Thank.
C
C
Okay,
won't
take
much
time
I'm
here
actually
here
to
speak
in
support
of
the
recommendations
that
are
before
us.
I
think
this
is
an
important
step
that
we're
taking
and
I
only
come
to
ask
for
a
minor
amendment
to
recommendation
1a
that
we
include
consideration
of
a
pilot
project
at
greenwood
towers
in
the
tcht
portfolio
at
145,
Strathmore
boulevard,
as
well
as
other
strategic
locations,
and
the
reason
I
come
to
ask
that
this
this
building
be
included.
C
Is
we've
had
two
tragic
fatalities
in
the
last
six
months
at
this
particular
building
death
by
fire,
and
we
have
in
this
building
the
largest
concentration
of
80
year
olds,
plus
the
in
this
building,
which
is
the
largest
concentration
in
any
of
the
TC
HC
properties.
And
we
also
have
a
very
significant
seventy
plus
year
old
population.
H
Thank
you,
as
you
know,
I'll
move
that
I
made
it
on
your
behalf.
When
the
time
comes
to
do
so,
I
can't
see
it's
fair
enough
to
see
the
clock.
It
says
what
12
26
is
it
12,
2012
20
sec?
Sorry,
we
have
time
for
one
more
speaker
which
would
be
councillor
Fletcher
before
lunch
and
then
did
you.
There
was
no
motion
with
so
it's
counselor
Fletcher's.
Next
thank.
M
You
very
much
and
I'm
going
to
be
supporting
this,
but
I'm
going
to
be
asking
for
it
to
be
a
little
bit
clearer
that
the
way
I
read
these
recommendations
and
I
won't
do
this
here.
I'll
get
this
fixed
up
for
Council
is
that
this
to
me
gives
me
no
indication
that
this
is
an
interim
step
in
the
recommendations
and
I
want
to
speak
very
strongly.
For
this
being
an
interim
step.
M
So
we
really
actually
have
had
a
standalone
seniors
model
since
2008
that's
10
years,
and
yet
the
tenants
first
indicated
that
we
need
to
be
much
clearer
and
it
needs
to
be
somebody's
core
business.
When
I
talk
about
core
business
for
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
I,
don't
talk
about
the
single
family
homes
we're
managing
those
in
a
different
way.
Those
may
have
been
much
closer
to
the
core
business
of
city
home,
one
of
the
predecessor
corporations
and
for
poor
business
I.
M
Don't
talk
about
seniors
homes,
because
that
really
was
the
core
business
of
Metro
Toronto
Housing
Corporation,
but
the
core
business
of
Toronto,
Community,
Housing
I,
believe
are
those
many
many
units,
the
ones
that
are
under
redevelopment,
often
the
ones
where
we
are
plagued
with
different
problems,
the
ones
where
people
need
jobs
they
need
help.
They
need
Community
Development.
M
They
need
to
get
on
with
a
better
life
that
should
be
the
core
business
of
Toronto,
Community
Housing,
so
I
believe
strongly
that
starting
to
isolate
this
even
further
as
a
senior's
portfolio
and
then
having
it
managed
discreetly,
rather
than
off
the
side
of
the
desk
or
the
seniors,
are
over
there
as
I've
witnessed
not
that
they're
mistreated
in
any
way.
But
it's
not
the
core
business.
M
M
H
You
councillor
Fletcher,
all
right,
so
just
just
so
people
know.
What's
roughly
gonna
happen,
we
have
some
speakers
from
executive
committee
to
hear
from
and
then
the
question
to
be
put
on
this
and
then
there's
quite
a
long
item
on
the
waterfront
that
comes
up
next
and
then
just
for
you
Miguel,
you
and
probably
won't
be
heard,
because
the
Scarborough
waterfront
item
is
quite
long,
probably
till
four
o'clock.
If
you
wanted
to
do
anything,
okay,
I,
just
cuz,
you
asked
me
so
nicely
this
morning.
I
thought
I'd,
let
you
know
so.
