And
Adrian
Blackwell,
an
associate
professor
at
the
University
of
Waterloo
Mona
dies
from
open
architecture
collaborative
Toronto.
We
worked
with
the
team
of
interns,
intern
architects
and
designers
to
support
the
Ontario
coalition
against
poverty's
proposition
to
expropriate
land
at
twenty
fourteen
to
twenty
thirty,
her
burn
street
for
social
housing.
B
It
is
currently
undergoing
rapid,
gentrification
and
intensification
and,
at
the
same
time,
it's
a
place
that
houses
many
of
the
city's
most
vulnerable,
low-income
residents
in
the
early
1970s,
as
many
house
Lots
in
this
neighborhood,
were
consolidated
to
build
towers,
activists
and
architects
rallied
to
save
existing
fabric
and
build
housing
for
the
growing
ranks
of
low-income
residents.
Architects
like
diamond
and
Meyers
developed
infill
strategies
to
counter
what
they
called
the
doomsday
scenario
of
a
downtown
filled
up
entirely
with
towers
planning
changes
since
the
mid-1990s,
like
the
two
kings
to
the
south
of
this
site.
B
We
held
two
community
workshops
with
ou
cop
and
they
looked
at
four
different
qualities
of
the
building,
the
overall
form
of
the
building,
and
we
presented
people
in
the
community
meetings
with
three
different
options:
a
low-rise
options
which
people
really
liked
for
the
courtyard
that
faced
the
street
the
mid-rise
option.
That
also
had
a
courtyard,
but
some
residents
felt,
was
a
little
unwelcoming
and
having
to
go
under
the
tower
to
get
into
it
and
a
high-rise
version.
B
And
many
of
the
respondents
that
the
community
meetings
we
held
really
liked
the
high-rise
version,
because
it
proposed
the
most
units
to
meet
the
large
numbers
of
condominium
units
around
it.
We
asked
residents
what
kinds
of
programs
should
happen
at
grade
and
in
the
public
areas
of
the
building
and
the
most
commonly
demanded
programs
were
free
and
low-cost
meal
programs,
community
health
center
and
community
center,
offering
social
and
employment
programs.
B
We
asked
him
about
public
space
qualities
and
they
were
interested
in
green,
accessible,
open
spaces
where
the
community
can
find
tranquility
and
community,
and
we
asked
them
about
the
domestic
spaces.
The
interior
spaces
and
participants
expressed
a
desire
for
decently,
designed
and
maintained
private
dwellings
with
common
spaces
between
them
and
for
units
that
were
universally
accessible.
So,
as
a
group
of
architects,
we
designed
a
synthesis
of
this.
We
proposed
a
large
rent
geared
to
income
housing
project
that
is
welcoming,
open
and
connected
with
the
dte
community.
B
B
It
matches
the
height
of
Sherbourne
Pembroke
housing
to
the
south,
stepping
down
to
four
storeys
on
the
west
side,
to
allow
sunlight
into
the
courtyard
and
finally,
to
three
storeys
to
meet
the
historic
house
forming
a
strong
connection
with
Stroh
and
surrounding
buildings
and
framing
the
open
public
space
on
the
site.
The
tower
housing,
the
majority
of
residential
units
rises,
18
stories
on
top
of
a
file
of
the
five-story
podium,
similar
in
height
to
the
22
story,
Sherbourne
Estates,
building
across
the
street.
B
It
responds
to
the
existing
developer,
driven
architecture
of
the
city
matching
its
high
density
in
order
to
create
an
equivalent
floor
area
of
rent
geared
to
income
units
as
a
contemporary
condominium
would
have.
The
courtyard
is
overlooked
by
two
floors
of
public
programs
serving
the
vulnerable
residents
of
the
community
and
responds
to
comments
from
the
community
meeting.
B
B
So
the
next
steps
that
we're
interested
in
demanding
is
a
framework
for
the
expropriation
of
this
site.
We
think
it's
very
important
that
the
city
challenges
development
that
displaces
those
who
are
most
vulnerable
in
the
dte
and
threatens
to
make
the
downtown
a
livable
place
only
for
those
who
can
afford
it
and
I
think
what
we
were
trying
to
show
with
our
discussion
of
the
neighborhood
is
that
there
are
strongly
encouraging
and
gentrifying
forces
that
are
pushing
low-income
people
out
of
this
neighborhood,
and
this
kind
of
a
development
could
resist
that
thanks
very
much.
A
C
You
very
much
so
I'm
gonna
be
pretty
quick
because
I
think
the
technical
stuff
that
has
been
explained,
it's
pretty
clear.
My
name
is
Maurice
I,
don't
go
I
work
at
Street,
Health
I
work
at
Dundas
on
shabam
I've
been
there
for,
like
almost
20
years
and
I'm,
a
community
health
worker,
essentially
I'm
a
mental
health
worker
and
the
people
I
work
with
are
the
ones
you
see
on
the
streets
all
the
time
you
go
to
down
the
square
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
C
So
what
I'll
tell
you
is
what
I
see
what
I've
seen
for
20
years?
There
is
for
my
client
and
for
the
people
who
live
around
the
street.
We
have
a
permanent
state
of
crisis
and
emergency
people
live
like
if
you
go
to
the
ER.
The
streets
is
our
earth,
but
it
has
only
the
pavement
and
a
lot
of
other
things
that
you
don't
want
to
deal
with.
So
what
do
people
do
there?
They
eat
there.
They
sleep
there.
They
rest
wouldn't
put
there.
D
C
The
streets,
and
if
you
are
at
Dundas
and
shabaan
you
can
go
in
a
direction.
You
can
go
towards
Parliament.
You
will
see
the
same
people
struggling
to
stay
alive.
You
can
go
west
to
George,
Street
walk
a
long
dodge
Street
is
even
worse.
You
can
go
up
towards
Curtin
turn
or
you
can
go
south
towards
the
most
back
even
worse,
but
you
will
see
one
good
thing,
and
this
is
where
this
people
have
done
their
job
to
create
that
stuff.
C
That's
when
you're
going
down
towards
moves
back,
there's
that
space,
there's
that
red
building
is
sitting
there,
so
you
got
people
lying
around
on
the
streets
and
sleeping
on
the
streets,
and
you
got
this
building
which
there's
nothing
in
it
and
the
whole
piece
of
land.
You
don't
have
to
be
a
deal
to
figure
that
something
is
wrong
with
that.
C
Something
is
definitely
wrong
with
us,
and
this
is
the
solution,
so
the
the
Condors
are
all
over.
Now
we
are
surrounded
by
RIT,
javis
and
dandas
is
now
the
new
Manhattan
of
Toronto.
Lucky
you
and
me,
but
I
tell
you
something
else.
There
is
a
like
this
proposal.
Is
that
a
group
of
people
came
together,
they
invested
their
time,
their
commitment,
their
talent,
truly
unimaginable
skills,
their
vision,
their
passion,
their
heart
and
a
group
of
activists
whom
you
have
known
for
a
long
time
joined
in
that
process.
C
So
the
product
is
something
visible:
it's
tangible,
it's
doable,
it's
not
talk,
it
is
on
the
table
and
it
is
hard
to
find
a
reason
why
we
can't
do
this
and
we
will
come
to
the
land
piece
very
quickly,
because
I
know
I
have
just
about
two
minutes.
Left
now.
I
believe
that
sometimes
bold
moves
change
things
in
1998
in
this
city
we
met
right
out.
Here
we
came
with
the
proposal
to
declare
homelessness
a
national
disaster.
It
was-
and
that
was
a
game
changer
when
we
did
it
some
people,
the
the
synagogue's.
C
Yes,
it's
the
same
usual
guide,
the
same
usual
crap,
but
it
brought
everybody
else
across
the
city
across
the
province
across
the
country,
and
the
amount
of
money
raised
to
pull
people
out
of
poverty
and
into
housing
is
quite
big.
If
someone
could
research
it
so
I'm
saying
this
is
a
positive
thing.
This
is
a
doable
thing
now.
The
problem
is
the
land
is
private
property
and
I
think
the
proposal
is
that
the
city
has
said:
they'll
look
into
it.
C
They
will
do
appraisal
of
the
site,
they'll
use
a
standardized
approach,
and
then
they
will,
if
it
is
approved
by
a
consul,
hey
the
market
rates.
In
other
words,
you
ain't
going
out
there
grabbing
people
and
you
paying
them
and
you're
telling
them.
This
thing
is
sitting
here
for
10
20
years
and
people
are
lying
under
the
roads
and
which
is
not
acceptable
to
the
city.
C
A
E
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
yogi
Acharya
I'm,
an
organizer
with
the
Ontario
coalition
against
poverty,
one
of
the
group's
that's
part
of
the
collaboration
that
today
is
proposing
this
development
for
214
to
230
sherburn
and
in
making
a
case
for
it.
The
report
goes
into
quite
a
bit
of
detail
about
the
proposal
itself,
but
I
think
what's
important
to
say
to
all
of
you
as
councillors
is
that
I
think
you
recognize
that
Toronto
today
has
more
condo
towers
under
construction
than
any
other
North
American
city?
E
You
know
that
the
housing
market
is
not
only
saddling
people
with
stifling
debts
and
obscene
rents.
It's
also
critically
guarding
the
housing
supply
that's
available
to
Toronto's
poor
and
the
consequences
of
that
combination
are
particularly
visible
at
the
corner
of
Dundas
center
burn.
You
only
need
to
walk
through
it
once
to
get
a
sense
of
the
hundreds
of
people
poor
and
homeless
people
who
are
trying
to
survive
on
harsh
conditions
on
the
streets
there
and
as
relentless
condo
development
approaches,
Dundas
and
Sherbourne
from
all
sides.
E
You
know
councillor
one
time
you
move
the
motion
in
March
of
last
year
when
these
properties
were
publicly
listed
for
sale,
urging
the
director
of
affordable
housing
to
do
the
necessary
background
work
in
order
to
assess,
purchase,
purchasing
or
expropriating
these
properties.
Nothing
has
happened
on
that
since
June
of
last
year,
they
have
delegated
authority
to
put
in
an
offer,
should
the
properties
be
listed
for
sale,
but
a
delegate,
but
a
conditional
offer
put
in
by
the
city
can't
compete
with
an
offer
from
a
private
developer
on
that
site.
E
We've
also
been
told
that
maybe
there
is
a
report
coming
sometime
in
November
to
Council
that
talks
about
a
broad
strokes,
expropriation
strategy
for
the
city,
but
the
reality
is-
and
you
know
this-
that
council
has
been
expropriating
properties
and
absence
of
a
grand
expropriation
strategy.
A
strategy
is
good,
but
those
properties
could
be
sold
any
given
time.
This
fall.
We
don't
know
when
they
will
be
sold,
but
they
could
be
sold
any
time
before.
E
Then
you
have
the
opportunity
to
not
let
Dundas
and
Sherbourne
be
yet
another
casualty
in
this
ongoing
avalanche
of
condominiums
as
Adrienne
put
it
and
step
in
expropriate
that
property.
You
know,
for
our
part,
we've
worked
in
that
neighborhood
for
30
odd
years,
I've
been
there
for
about
five
people
in
Ocala,
I've
been
there
for
much
much
longer.
E
We
know
those
properties
have
been
a
historic
part
of
Toronto's
poor
who
of
surviving
in
that
and
who
have
survived
in
that
neighborhood.
Three
rooming
houses
existed
there.
They
were
demolished
the
tenants
who
were
living
in
them.
They
were
pushed
out.
We
are
committed
in
this
fight
to
make
sure
that
those
properties
will
be
part
of
the
future
of
poor
and
working-class
people
at
the
investment
Sherbourne.
So
I
want
to
encourage
you
today
to
not
merely
move
past
this
item
once
the
deputies
here
leave.
F
And
thank
you
Yogi
for
your
presentation,
the
request
to
have
this
committee
direct
staff
to
initiate
expropriation
without
a
report
without
a
determined
price
and
knowing
that
there
is
a
evaluation
framework
that
the
staff
are
trying
to
develop,
which
I
believe
is
coming
in
in
the
third
quarter
of
this
year.
The
fourth
quarter
this
year,
that's
going
to
assess
how
they
would
evaluate
all
properties
across
the
city
through
an
expropriation
strategy.
F
How
do
we
reconcile
parceling
off
one
piece
when
we
don't
have
the
background
work?
That's
done
and
and
to
be
quite
honestly,
I'm
hearing
you
I'm
hearing
the
deputations
but
I'm
struggling
because
the
process
is
is
is
is
not
lining
up
right
now,
based
on
what
you're
wanting
and
what
staff
are
saying
is
feasible.
I
mean.
E
At
the
same
time,
you
know
properties
were
expropriated,
on
George
Street,
three
properties
were
expropriated,
on
George
Street
for
the
George
Street
revitalization
project,
the
city,
expropriated
Birkdale
residents
in
scarborough.
For
the
same
reason,
expropriations
are
happening
in
our
city
outside
of
a
grand
expropriation
strategy.
That
strategy
will
be
great,
we'll
assess
how
good
or
bad
it
is
when
it
when
the
reports
tabled.
E
But
the
reality
is
that
the
city
is
proceeding
with
expropriations
based
in
in
the
public
interest
and
based
on
need
and
I
can't
make
a
better
case
for
you
for
how
bad
the
need
had
done
that
since
Sherbourne
today's
council,
a
long
time
you've
been
there,
and
you
recognized
that
the
the
state
of
that
neighborhood
and
if
anytime
a
case
could
be
made
in
the
public
interest
for
housing.
I
think
that
neighborhood
is
a
is
the
top
contender.
E
F
E
It's
undeniable
that
they're
not
willing
sellers
to
the
city.
If
you
look
back
to
news
media
articles
back
to
2013
they're
quoted
as
saying
that
they're
not
interested
in
selling
to
the
media,
but
Lucien
and
Rita
Tunisia
are
not
just
owners
of
those
seven
properties.
There
are
owners
of
multiple
rental
properties
all
across
the
city,
they're.
E
Also,
a
part
of
a
group
of
property
owners
in
the
neighborhood
were
challenging
the
city's
OPAT
to
the
Official
Plan
amendment
82,
which
is
grossly
insufficient,
but
even
that
little
thing
is
being
challenged,
so
you
know
that
they
are
not
going
to
balk
at
selling
these
lands
to
a
private
developer.
So
I
think
that
that
there
is
the
reason
for
expropriation.
You
know,
you've
tried
engaging
with
them,
they're,
not
responsive
and
the
way
city
does
with
it
with
the
George
Street
property
owners
was
that
the
city
expropriated,
those
properties.
So
why
not?
F
Think
it's
as
straightforward,
because
there
was
a
willing
seller
in
this
case,
but
many
I'm
gonna
try
to
get
you
some
responses
by
answering
asking
quiet
and
staff
the
same
questions.
Perhaps
that
might
be
helpful.
Okay,
but
not
now
a
little
bit
later
when
it's
time
to
ask
questions
of
staff.
Great.
Thank
you.
G
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Greg
cook
I'm,
an
outreach
worker
at
sanctuary,
ministries,
Toronto.
We
are
located
not
too
far
we're
in
the
Downtown
East
from
this
proposed
site,
I'm.
Also
on
the
steering
committee
of
the
shelter
and
housing
justice.
Network
I've
been
doing
outreach
in
the
Downtown
East
since
2005
I'd
like
to
speak
to
the
item
regarding
activating
federal
and
provincial
funding
to
increase
housing
options
for
Toronto
residents.
Currently,
there
are
no
housing
options
for
thousands
of
Toronto
residents.
The
situation
is
so
bad.
G
Their
current
city
plans
don't
even
have
a
strategy
to
ensure
housing
for
most
people
who
are
homeless
in
Toronto.
Obviously,
you
need
different
plans
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
one.
Currently
City
of
Toronto
data
acknowledges
the
following:
the
shelters
are
overflowing,
despite
hundreds
of
new
cots
being
added
in
the
last
two
years:
encampments
and
city
parks,
ravines
and
industrial
lands
have
doubled.
In
the
last
few
years,
market
rent
has
more
than
doubled.
In
the
last
ten
years,
minimum
wage
o
W
and
ODSP
haven't
kept
that
with
inflation.
G
In
that
time,
from
what
I'm
seeing
on
the
ground,
housing
workers
are
essentially
giving
up
on
trying
to
get
people
into
market
rent
apartments,
even
if
they
have
the
six
hundred
dollar
rent
subsidies.
Downtown
emergency
rooms
are
packed
with
people
adversely
affected
by
the
housing
crisis.
Most
people
I
talked
to
have
essentially
given
up
getting
us
any
sort
of
housing,
so
they
are
buying
tents,
sleeping
on
in
underground
parking
garages.
They
are
waiting
for
a
list
on
waiting
lists
for
crammed
respite
centers
and
also
making
encampments
on
industrial
land
in
Scarborough
in
Etobicoke.
G
In
the
summer,
people
are
suffering
outside
from
dehydration
and
food
insecurity.
They
don't
have
safe
and
comfortable
spaces
to
recover
from
the
flu
or
any
accidents
that
they
might
encounter.
They
are
forced
to
navigate
life
with
illnesses
such
as
diabetes
and
Alzheimer's.
On
average,
two
people
are
dying
each
week
in
Toronto
without
housing.
The
City
of
Toronto
has
failed
to
take
leadership
and
build
rent
gear
to
income
housing.
The
affordable
housing
label,
though
the
city
uses,
is
a
joke.
Eighty
percent
of
market
rent
is
not
affordable.
G
For
hundreds
of
thousands
of
our
on
Tony
ins,
the
City
of
Toronto
has
stopped
trying
to
ensure
that
these
people
have
his
access
to
housing.
Even
building
housing
that
fits
this
table
isn't
materializing
as
I
understand
it.
In
2017
Toronto
only
built
three
hundred
units
and
in
2018
it
was
less
than
five
hundred.
This
is
broken.
People
are
suffering,
people
are
dying,
things
need
to
change
drastically.
G
This
plan
that
o
cap
and
open-architecture
has
brought
forward
this
plan
with
extensive
community
consultation
is
bold
and
innovative
and
important.
Not
only
does
it
offer
a
path
to
hundreds
of
new
units
in
a
short
time
period,
it
offers
a
blueprint
that
can
be
emulated
dozens
of
times
in
the
months
and
years
to
come.
It
offers
a
policy
vision
that
City
Hall
doesn't
currently
have.
If
the
city
is
serious
about
equity,
about
quad
of
life
for
its
residents,
this
initiative
is
a
must.
Everyone
should
have
a
right
to
the
city.
G
F
Thank
you,
Greg
for
your
deputation
with
respect
to
the
proposal.
This
is
the
person
you're
talking
about
that's
been
tabled
and
I
apologize,
I'm,
just
seeing
it
now
so
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
entirely
read.
It
did,
did
your
did,
open-architecture
consult
with
or
speak
to,
City
Planning
staff
regarding
what
you're
proposing
the
massing,
the
built
form,
the
articulation
of
the
buildings,
the
impact
of
the
heritage
properties,
the
adjacency
of
the
neighborhood
was
any
of
that
done
before
all
this
work
came
about,
I
think.
A
H
H
C
B
H
B
B
A
F
And
thank
you
with
with
the
indulgence
of
the
chair
in
the
committee.
I
recognize
that
that
the
report
is
not
specifically
speaking
about
Sherbourne,
but
because
there
are
so
many
deputies
that
came
out
specifically
to
talk
about
these.
These
properties
clustered
together,
if,
if
it's
okay,
I'm
just
gonna
target
target.
My
my
comment
specifically
to
to
what
was
raised
today
that,
if
that's
all
right,
okay,
no
no
objections.
So
the
question
I
have
is
maybe
going
back
to
March
2018.
I
Through
the
chair
counselor,
we
were
unable
to
actually
engage
directly
with
the
owners
of
the
property,
and
it
was
around
the
same
time.
The
for
sale
sign
had
come
off
the
property
as
well,
and
the
agent
for
the
for
the
owners
was
uncommunicative
as
well.
So
we've
continued
on
the
path
of
bringing
the
report
in
the
fall
on
a
general
acquisition
expropriation
policy
for
affordable
and
supportive
housing,
and
we
will
bring
back
a
specific
recommendation
on
this
site
at
that
time
as
well,
and.
F
Is
there
any
benefit
to
accelerating
staffs
work
on
expropriation
should
should
this
property
meet
the
evaluation?
You
know
framework
that
you're
going
to
develop,
which
council
hasn't
approved
yet,
but
should
there
be
any
possibility
that
we
can
accelerate
all
this
work
can
can
we
get?
Can
you
initiate
with
city
legal
expropriation
and
exercise
those
expropriation
powers
this
week
after
next
week
after
council
meets
so.
F
So
without
an
evaluation
without
a
clear
evaluation
framework,
would
we
know
what
good
value
is
in
terms
of
how
do
we
stretch
a
diamond
to
a
dollar
the
taxpayers
dollar
into
buying
the
most
land
to
build
the
most
affordable
housing
close
to
community
facilities
close
to
transit?
Is
this
the
way
for
us
to
go
without
looking
at
all
the
other
properties
that
may
be
available
for
purchase
so
through.
E
I
Deputies
have
identified,
there
have
been
expropriations
in
the
past
and
I
I
would
refer
back
to
in
1988
when
the
entire
West
Don
lands
was
expropriated,
and
we
now
have
a
whole
mixed
income
community
being
developed
there
on
Queen
Street
West
as
well
in
that
site,
where
Park
developed,
supportive
housing
was
previously
a
burnt-out
building
and
was
expropriated.
So
in
some
respects
it's
a
combination
of
there
being
the
political
will
to
do
it.
The
funding
sources
and
as
well
being
able
to
make
the
case
that
it's
in
the
public
interest
to
do
this
and.
F
I
It
can't
be
challenged,
I
think,
once
the
direction
is
provided
staff,
our
preferred
approach
would
be,
we
would
negotiate
they
sail,
because
if
it
is
challenged,
we
are
talking
about
many
many
months
that
this
then
can
can
take
and
be
dragged
through
and
our
preference
and
that
this
isn't
just
for
housing,
but
for
any
expropriation
or
sale.
It
would
be
to
negotiate
the
purchase
price
in
the
sale
without
having
to
use
the
expropriation
procedures
and.
F
I
Through
the
chair,
we're
not
recommending
it
be
done
as
a
one-off,
we're
recommending
it
be
done
within
a
policy
context,
so
that
the
next
site
that
comes
before
us
and
another
site
comes
before
us.
We
have
a
framework
in
which
we
can
do
that
evaluation.
I
will
say
just
as
a
editorial
comment,
I'm
thrilled
to
see
that
the
work
is
being
done
and
the
interest
that
the
community
is
brought
forward
on
this
particular
project
insight.
Ok,.
F
F
Discussion
is
of
great
interest
to
many
of
the
deputies
who
came
out
today.
I
want
to
thank
them
for
their
deputation
I
want
to
thank
them
for
the
meetings
that
they
have
had
with
my
office.
I
certainly
do
understand
the
the
the
urgency
that's
required.
We
can
all
see
the
plight
in
the
neighbourhood.
We
all
know
that
housing,
affordable,
housing,
deeply,
affordable
housing,
housing.
The
supports
is
needed
urgently.
If
I
could
Expo
crate
these
powers,
if
I
had
the
expropriation
powers
and
a
magic
wand
in
my
hand,
I
would
just
take
it
from
the
owner.
F
I
think
we
all
would
that
having
been
said,
I
don't
have
that
magic
wand
and
I
know
that
there
is
a
particular
process.
That's
underway
that
I'm
going
to
have
to
trust
I
also
want
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
the
property
owner
has
not
shown
any
interest
and
engagement
with
the
city.
My
conversation
of
the
property
owner
predates
my
conversation
of
the
owe
cap.
It
goes
back
into
my
first
term
at
City
Council.
F
What
I
specifically
said
to
him
that
we
are
looking
for
opportunities
for
housing,
affordable
housing
and
the
brightest
range
of
affordability,
which,
whether
it's
cooperative
housing
or
if
it's
supportive
housing
or
transitional
housing.
Something
has
to
be
built
on
that
site
rather
than
the
site
being
left
dormant.
That
was
back
in
2012.
F
There
was
no
communication
very
little
afterwards.
They
showed
us
actually
to
be
quite
honest.
They
showed
myself
in
some
planning
staff,
some
massing
a
tower
on
top
of
their
site
and
to
tear
down
of
those
those
heritage,
structures
and
the
planning
staff
at
that
point
in
time
said
to
them
not
interested
sherburn,
especially
for
that
particular
quadrant
may
not
be
appropriate
for
a
tall
building
site
and
there's
certainly
no
permissions
from
City
Council
that
will
be
granted
for
you
to
tear
down
those
heritage
structures,
especially
not
for
purpose-built,
market-driven,
condo
project.
F
That
was
the
conversation
we
had
then
so
I
like
the
fact
that
we're
all
heading
in
the
same
direction,
I'm
sorry
that
we're
not
all
pulling
at
the
same
time,
but
I
am
very
confident
that
we
are
going
to
be
able
to
use
the
evaluation
framework
that
staff
have
got
the
device
which
will
be
used
to
evaluate
against
every
single
possibility
for
expropriation
across
the
city
and
recognizing
that
there
are
some
limitations
to
expropriation
power
with
the
purpose
and
the
sole
purpose
these
these
days
about
building,
affordable
housing.
That's
something
new!
F
That
is
not
something
that
the
city
can
the
City
Council
prior
to
has
ever
said
to
staff
go
off
and
do
so
I
do
recognize
that
that
is
a
huge
amount
of
work.
I
know
that
we
are
going
to
be
butting
up
against
a
very
aggressive
and
profit-driven,
wealthy
powerful
development
sector.
That's
going
to
be
in
the
market
with
the
city
competing
for
the
same
limited
land
resources
I
also
recognize
that,
given
all
the
number
all
the
developers
that
are
scouring
every
single
surface
lot
and
in
the
city.
F
If
this,
if
this
property
was
to
be
sold
for
a
significant
profit
and
a
tidy
sum,
it
would
have
been
sold
by
now,
because
I'm
I'm
pretty
confident
they
have
been
approached.
However,
they
were
not
able
to
sell
to
a
well
financed
developer
or
any
developer
out
there,
let
alone
even
responding
to
city
staff.
About
wanting
to
explore
the
conversation
about
purchasing
for
the
purposes
of
building
affordable
housing.
F
That's
the
market
condition
that
the
city
is
working
in
and
there
is
a
legislative
framework
that
we
have
to
comply
with
and
I
know
that
the
expropriation
powers
are
not
something
that
the
city
staff
is
city,
legal
or
City.
Council
will
exercise
freely
without
a
solid
case
to
be
built
around
it
and
I
know
this,
because
I
have
asked
Shaun
on
multiple
occasions.
Shaun
Gannon
are
a
very
good
executive
director
for
Housing
Secretariat
I've
asked
him
on
multiple
occasions.
F
Why
can't
I
just
expropriate
this
or
that
to
build
housing
and
I
know
that
the
responses
have
been?
It's
not
that
straightforward.
However,
I
do
want
to
end
on
somewhat
of
a
positive
note
without
exercising
expropriation
powers
in
the
Downtown
East
I
can
say
quite
honestly
that
we
have
new
transitional
housing
being
built
at
257
Dundas
Street
East.
We
have
new
housing
that
has
now
been
open
transitional
homes
in
supportive
housing
run
by
Navi
res
at
sixty-five.
Sixty-Five
homeward
Avenue.
We
did
that
without
the
expropriation
act.
F
We
just
recently
opened
two
to
two
Carlton
Street
being
run
and
operated
by
native
Child
and
Family
Services
of
Toronto,
and
just
last
week
at
Toronto
and
East
Shore
Community
Council.
We
actually
approved
the
purchase
of
218
Carlton
Street,
specifically
for
the
purposes
of
affordable
housing
without
exercising
the
expropriation
Act.
F
All
in
total,
there
are
over
I
think
about
200,
almost
200
units
coming
online
without
exercising
the
expropriation
Act,
because
we
had
a
willing
buyer,
a
willing
seller
and
then
third-party
nonprofit
housing
providers
out
in
the
community
helping
the
city
operate
those
those
assets
afterwards,
so
that
it
is
possible
even
without
the
expropriation
act.
If
we
were
able
to
do
this
particular
project
today,
given
the
fact
that
we've
been
able
to
successfully
even
demonstrate
with
the
last
year
and
a
half
do
for
them,
we
would
have
done
it.
F
H
H
Basically
a
clear
it's
particularly
just
want
to
focus
on
the
rooming
houses
that
councillor
perks
has
been
fighting
for
once
in
my
ward,
where
developers
are
now
looking
at
rooming
houses
at
buildings,
they're
looking
at
that
as
an
investment
as
a
financial
gain
and
then
turning
out
people
onto
the
street
and,
quite
frankly,
some
onto
the
street,
so
those
rents
are
very
low.
Sometimes
four
hundred
three
hundred
five
hundred
dollars,
people
have
been
there
for
many
years,
and
the
I
just
indicate
that
it's
very
much
like
the
clearances
in
Scotland
people
are
being
removed.
H
H
So
even
buildings
that
are
for
sale,
we
don't
act
quickly
enough,
particularly
ones
that
we
could
have
easy
access
to,
which
would
be
those
religious
institutions
and
then
earlier
today,
looking
at
moving
the
dawn
Somerville
site
to
putting
not
only
the
rgi
but
some
affordable
rental.
We
need
to
do
that.
We
need
to
protect,
we
need
to
stabilize
and
we
need
to
build.
So,
thank
you
for
furthering
this
conversation
here
in
the
City
of
Toronto.
I
I
wanted
to
thank
the
Crowder
showed
up
today.
This
this
moment
may
not
be
the
moment
where
we
get
the
outcome
you
want,
but
the
more
often
the
people
in
the
City
of
Toronto
speak
up
and
say
the
city
has
to
actually
stop
losing
land
and
start
acquiring
land.
We
have
to
stop
simply
approving
private
developments
and
start
developing
housing.
I
The
sooner
it
is
we
get
to
that
moment
where
it
happens.
I'm
at
counselor
want
a
my
have
had
those
same
frustrations
for
years
now,
a
the
City
of
Toronto
had
just
simply
has
decided
for
I
want
to
say
9
in
the
last
nine
or
10
years
that
no
we're
not
in
the
business
of
building
housing.
We'd
rather
keep
taxes
low
and
it's
time
to
turn
that
around.
So
thank
you
for
your
efforts
today
may
not
be
the
day,
but
the
day
is
coming
and
I
hope
it's
them.
A
Thank
you
any
other
speakers.
Thank
I.
Just
don't
want
to
thank
all
the
the
speaker's
here
today,
I'm
the
project.
It
actually
looks
quite
beautiful
to
be
honest
with
you,
so
thank
you
and
and
to
say,
and
also
to
think
about
having
these
conversations
in
the
communities
which
are
really
important.
So
the
conversations
that
you've
had
about
this
need
in
the
community
and
have
the
community
advocating
and
I
also
want
to
thank
counts
from
wong-tam.
A
She
just
listed
a
whole
list
of
projects
that
has
been
happening
in
this
neighborhood
and
we
just
hope
that
this
committee
is
able
to
open
many
more
not
only
in
her
community,
but
I.
Think
everybody
here
is
looking
forward
to
having
some
of
these
projects
in
all
our
communities.
So
again,
thank
you
for
for
your
efforts.
Thank
you
for
for
the
communications.
I
know
that
you've
been
working
closely
with
the
local
councillor
and
she'll
definitely
be
a
champion
of
more
of
supportive
housing
and
affordable
housing
in
the
area.
A
So
with
that
can
I
have
a
motion
to
move
the
report
forward.
Councillor
Fletcher
all
those
in
favor
that
carries,
and
that
takes
care
of
item.
Seven
point:
six:
we're
moving
into
item
seven
point:
seven:
expanding
supportive
housing
in
Toronto.
We
have
speakers
Daphna
nuts
Hmong
deaf,
not
thank
you.
J
Afternoon,
everyone
I
just
wanted
to
say,
on
behalf
of
the
Toronto
lines,
to
end
homelessness
I'm
here
today,
speaking
in
support
of
the
report
and
recommendation
actions
for
item
7.7,
expanding
supportive
housing
in
Toronto,
increasing
supportive
housing
opportunities,
a
significant
part
of
the
Alliance's
strategic
partnership
with
the
city
of
Toronto.
In
our
shared
goal
of
creating
more
effective
solutions
to
ending
homelessness,
we
were
pleased
to
hope
co-host.
J
The
June
5th
Charette
with
the
city's
Housing
Secretariat,
where
over
40's
housing
stakeholders
collaborated
on
addressing
immediate,
medium
and
long
term,
solutions
to
increase
supporting
supportive
housing
opportunities
in
Toronto
since
its
release
in
April
of
this
year.
This
report,
which
I
have
submitted
titled
developing
supportive
housing
ideas
in
Toronto
experiences,
experiences,
challenges
and
ideas
commissioned
by
the
ta
eh
in
partnership
with
Maitri
Foundation,
has
been
widely
read
and
well-received
by
the
sector
as
well
as
city
staff.
J
Our
hope
is
that
the
information
and
recommendations
within
the
report
are
used
to
address
challenges
that
exist
for
supportive
housing
providers
and
how
we
can
better
fast-track
supportive
housing
development
which
a
lot
of
what
we're
addressing
today.
It
also
speaks
to
the
motion
introduced
earlier
by
councillor
perks
about
increasing
the
capacity
of
nonprofit
developers.
J
We
also
commend
the
city
and
Housing
Secretariat
for
doing
a
modular
housing
pilot
that
will
provide
supportive
and
transitional
housing
to
those
who
need
it
most
with
that
said,
we
also
need
to
keep
our
focus
on
permanent,
supportive
housing
development
through
initiatives
such
as
housing,
now
inclusionary
zoning
expediting
regulatory
approvals
and
combining
city
resources
and
funding
the
Alliance
thanks.
The
Housing,
Secretariat
and
council
allow
for
their
work
with
us
on
supportive
housing
and
for
considering
our
recommendations.
We
look
forward
to
the
Charette
report
and
our
continued
work
together
on
supportive
housing
opportunities.
J
A
A
Seeing
none
I
will
move
the
the
report
and
just
I
think
I'm
gonna
echo
the
speaker's
words
and
saying
that
I
am
looking
forward
to
having
the
Charette
report.
We
had
a
really
interesting
conversation
with
a
lot
of
the
providers
for
supportive
housing
and
how
we
can
better
understand
their
needs
to
build
more
and
faster
supportive
housing.
We
had
planning
and
the
housing
Secretariat
taking
part
on
this
initiative
and
we're
looking
forward
to
working
as
well
with
the
modular
pilot
project
to
see
that
happening
sooner
rather
than
later.
A
K
Tell
people
when
my
parents
came
to
Canada,
they
were
having
a
sale
of
consonants,
so
they
said
it's.
My
vowels
mine
was,
if
my
joke
is
that
how
you
spell
it
I'm,
not
picky,
but
please
pronounce
it
as
lucky.
There
you
go.
Thank
you
so
so.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
recognizing
me.
My
name
is
Mary
Ann
on
the
wiki
and
I'm
the
president
of
the
Park
Vista
Tenants
Association.
The
Association
represents
tenants
living
in
four
buildings
at
Park,
Vista
Ward
19,
with
a
combined
total
of
more
than
850
units.
K
Sometimes
it
becomes
the
role
of
government
to
codify
common
sense
when
sensible
policies
aren't
common
enough.
This
is
one
of
those
times
because,
if
there's
anything
worse
than
so-called
red
tape,
it's
a
yellow
and
black
tape
that
gets
rolled
out
when
a
building
is
evacuated
and
attendants
can't
return
to
their
home.
When
that
happens,
it's
critical
that
there
are
strong
requirements
in
place
to
help
make
the
best
of
a
bad
situation,
while
the
major
fire
at
6:50,
Parliament
Street
in
2018,
is
one
example
of
the
devastating
effects
of
displacement
of
hundreds
of
tenants.
K
It's
hardly
alone
in
terms
of
stories
of
tenant,
hardship
on
July
20th
2008,
an
explosion
at
an
underground
hydro,
Volta
to
Secord
Avenue
forced
hundreds
of
frightened
tenants
to
leave
their
building.
Many
with
just
the
clothes
on
their
back.
One
tenant
said
the
explosion
shook
the
building
and
it
seemed
like
a
bomb
went
off
non
firefighters
were
injured.
Fighting
the
massive
blaze
about
900
tenants
were
left
scrambling
to
find
another
place
to
live
and
couldn't
reenter
their
unit.
K
For
more
than
a
month,
a
class-action
suit
was
later
launched
against
a
construction
company
and
the
City
of
Toronto.
A
settlement
of
6.5
million
was
reached
in
2014,
while
I've
never
had
to
deal
with
such
a
dire
event.
At
the
time,
I've
lived
on,
Park
Vista
tenants
in
my
building
have
had
to
deal
with
two
multi
day.
Power
outages,
as
well
as
an
overnight
evacuation
due
to
a
gas
line
leak
and
a
water
main
break
in
2018
that
left
several
buildings
without
power
for
16
hours.
K
In
2016,
when
the
City
of
Toronto
was
considering
licensing
landlords,
the
Park
Vista
tenants
association
provided
a
written
submission.
It
recommended
that
landlords
be
required
to
have
the
following
evacuation
plan:
power,
outage
plan,
protocol
for
after-hours
emergencies
and
landlords
staff
trained
in
first
aid.
The
Association
also
noted
that
standards
around
emergency
backup
power
needed
enhance.
K
For
example,
the
city
of
Toronto's
property
standards,
chapter
629,
section
5.1
required
the
owners
of
a
multiple
unit
dwelling
to
post
a
sign
in
a
prominent
place
in
the
front
lobby
or
entrance
of
the
building,
with
the
name
and
phone
number
of
the
authorized
person
to
contact
in
the
case
of
an
emergency
on
a
24-hour
basis.
Not
only
is
this
information
valuable
for
tenants,
it's
also
valuable
for
police
fire
services
and
paramedics.
An
emergency
number
should
be
posted
prominently.
K
The
requirement
should
be
enforced
by
the
city
in
consideration
should
be
given
to
requiring
larger
sign
lettering.
Heat
electricity
and
water
are
referred
to
as
vital
services
because
they
are
crucial
to
proper
living
conditions.
Landlord
should
communicate
promptly
with
tenants
when
such
services
are
interrupted
and
have
contingency
plans
to
deal
with
vital
service
disruptions
and
evacuations
owners
of
single-family
homes
have
broad
powers
to
oversee
their
shelter
subject
to
some
restrictions.
Tenants
don't
have
that
same
Authority,
tenants,
don't
control
the
property
or
core
infrastructure
such
as
electrical
systems,
heating
systems
or
gas
supply.
K
Tenants
are
sometimes
at
the
mercy
of
their
landlord
and,
with
apologies
to
William
Shakespeare.
The
quality
of
that
mercy
is
sometimes
strained.
Our
association
applauds
the
regulations
the
City
of
Toronto,
introduced
on
July
1st
2017
to
help
better,
inform
and
protect
tenants.
We
also
believe
there's
an
opportunity
to
raise
the
bar
higher
to
ensure
better
support
to
tenants
when
emergencies
arise.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
input
and
I
thank
city
staff
for
their
work
on
this
file.
F
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
deputation
and
with
respect
to
your
written
submission,
you
noted
that
that
the
city
could
do
a
better
job
at
enforcement.
I
know
where
I
know.
We've
got
some
new
rules
coming
in,
but
you
have
some
very
specific
examples
in
your
building
were
the
existing
requirements
and
performance
that
the
landlord
was
not
actually
enforced.
Can
you
provide
those
examples
to
us.
F
K
Well,
are
they,
you
know,
there's
a
requirement
that
you
have
to
get
a
permit
to
close
garbage
chutes.
They
should
close
garbage
chutes
and
for
buildings
without
following
the
requirements
of
the
purview.
No,
the
process
which
involves
polling
tenants
doing
that
and
they
never
reopen.
So
that's
just
what
that's
one
example
of
a
clear
violation
that
they
they
did
and
they
got
it.
The
if
you
go
in
the
lobby.
There
is
a
phone
number
that
phone
number
forwards
to
a
call
center.
K
It
doesn't
it
there's
no
name
of
a
person,
there's
no
name
of
an
authorized.
You
know,
representative
in
the
building.
That's
posted
prominently
in
that
area,
so
they'll
give
you
the
phone
number.
They
won't
give
you
a
name,
and
if
you
try
to
get
that
number,
you
know
24
hours,
you're
routed
to
one.
You
know
call
center
that
then
routes
the
call
somewhere
else,
I'm.
F
K
K
City
looked
into
it
found
that
they
didn't
do
what
was
required
in
order
to
close
the
the
garbage
chutes
they
investigated
and
then
said:
oh
well,
we
determined
it'd,
be
a
fire
hazard
for
them
to
reopen
so
they're
closed
and
they
didn't
make
the
the
other
requirements
such
as
arranging
to
have
door-to-door
garbage
pickup
when
you
close
a
chute.
So
it
also
left
me
wondering:
were
we
at
risk
of
a
fire
before
and
they
just
found
out
now
and
now,
they're
closing
the
chutes
to
avoid
a
fire
hazard.
K
A
D
Deputy
mayor,
thank
you,
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Darryl,
with
the
Greater
Toronto
Apartment
Association.
You
see
me
here
many
times,
members
own
and
operate
about
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
units
of
multifamily,
purpose-built
rental,
mostly
in
the
city
of
Toronto.
We've
obviously
been
closely
monitoring
the
situation
and
the
unfortunate
electrical
incidents
in
st.
James
town
proactively.
As
soon
as
that
happened,
we
initiated
meetings
with
with
yes,
a
TFS
MLS
and
those
meetings
have
continued.
We
want
to
better
understand
what
happened
and
how
we
could
prevent
our
goal
is
to
prevent
this
from
happening
again.
D
We
share
the
same
goals.
We
want
to
have
safe,
sound
communities
for
our
residents.
The
provision
of
purpose-built
rental
is
complicated
and
it's
complex.
There's
lots
of
rules
and
regulations
and
standards,
the
responsibility
of
an
assortment
of
jurisdictions,
the
municipality,
the
province,
administrative
bodies
and
so
on,
but
our
main
role
is
to
provide
our
members
with
education.
So
over
the
past
years,
we've
had
lots
of
I've
counted
here
more
than
a
dozen
seminars
featuring
officials
from
the
office
of
emergency
management
at
the
city,
Esat
SSA,
TFS,
I,
think
mr.
shreya
and
mr.
D
D
Yeah
I
think
we
have
the
knowledge
and
the
experience
to
assist
and
perhaps
even
take
the
lead
in
the
creation
of
a
vital
services
disruption
plan,
obviously
in
partnership
with
the
city
and
a
relevant
administrative
authorities
and
even
certified
trades
people.
So
this
would
include
the
distribution
and
education
of
our
members,
so
I'm
you
just
here
to
say
that
if,
if
we
can,
we
want
to
help.
That's
all.
Thank
you.
A
F
Warm
Tim,
yes,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
move
the
the
recommendations
in
the
staff
report
and
also
to
thank
staff
for
the
exceptional
work
that
they
did.
I
recognize
that
the
the
recommendation
before
us
is
going
to
be
amending
the
regulations
and
the
and
the
requirements
and
the
rent
safe
program,
and
this
is
specifically
around
vital
service
disruptions
and
building
and
having
a
plan
in
place
when
emergencies
do
take
place.
And,
of
course,
we've
experienced
these
emergencies
and
mass
displacements
in
the
in
st.
F
James
town
of
as
of
late
650,
Parliament
1500
residents
displaced,
as
of
August,
two
thousand
eighteen
still
without
homes,
still
floating
about
in
every
corner
of
the
city,
in
every
possible
accommodations
known
and,
of
course,
we've
also
seen
an
electrical
power
outage
that
took
place
at
260
Wellesley,
which
was
the
second
catalyst
to
bring
us
to
this
report.
Today.
F
I
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
fact
that
the
residents
who
have
actually
endured
that
hardship
are
not
here
to
defeat
today
and
they
haven't
really
shown
up
at
City
Hall
waving
any
banners
or
placards
and
demanding
for
better
service,
and
that's
largely
because
some
of
these
residents
are
tired
and
traumatized
and
they're
left
to
their
own
devices,
and
they
have
been
scattered
into
the
winds,
and
it's
also
because
these
are
newcomer
communities.
It's
also
because
this
is
low-income
housing.
F
It's
also
because
the
fact
that
the
city
of
Toronto's
process
may
not
be
accessible
to
everyone,
even
if
they
have
English
proficiency,
where
there's
the
hours
that
we
meet
or
just
by
the
way
we
conduct
our
business.
Not
everyone
knows
how
to
interface
with
this
order
of
government
at
these
particular
points
in
time.
But
I
do
want
to
thank
staff
for
going
out
to
the
community
in
the
times
of
crisis
through
either
our
first
responders,
who
have
been
exceptional,
Toronto,
Fire,
trial,
paramedics,
Toronto
Police,
as
well
as
the
office
of
emergency
management.
F
F
You
will
be
charged
if
you
don't
have
a
vital
service
disruption
plan
and
that
that
is
significant
because
the
next
time
it
happens,
it
could
happen
in
a
different
community
other
than
st.
James
town.
God
knows
we
don't
want
it
to
have
anywhere,
but
certainly
we're
not
interested
in
seeing
more
displacements.
This
is
the
right
step
forward
and
it's
actually
a
massively
needed
new
intervention.
F
That
I
believe
will
strengthen
the
the
intentions
of
rent
safety
o,
which
is,
of
course,
to
provide
adequate
decent
housing
for
tenants
and
I
want
to
just
thank
staff
for
that
work
because
I
know
you
rush
this
to
to
a
conclusion,
and
you
went
out
to
the
community
and
you
heard
from
them
about
what
went
right.
What
went
wrong?
What
was
done,
what
wasn't
done
and
what
we
need
to
do
to
move
forward
to
make
it
better.
The
next
time
around
Thank.
L
Let's
go
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Tamara
Anson,
Cartwright
and
program
manager
and
heritage,
and
my
colleague,
Jeremy
tomate,
will
to
gather
will
provide
a
10
minute
update
and
an
overview
of
the
report
in
front
of
you
for
consideration.
In
2017
city
council
directed
the
city
planner
an
executive
director
of
City
Planning
to
undertake
this
feasibility
study.
It
was
not
until
2018
when
plan
PGM,
planning
and
growth
management
recommended
to
advance
this
project
that
we
assigned
some
of
our
capital
dollars
to
really
undertake
the
study.
L
So
in
June
2018,
we
look
to
this
issue
in
earnest
and
commenced
our
feasibility
study.
This
report
summarizes
the
conclusions
and
recommendations
from
it.
A
Toronto
heritage
city
survey
is
an
ambitious
and
multi-year
program
that
will
modernize
the
day-to-day
work
of
City
Planning,
resulting
in
a
robust
understanding
of
heritage.
L
When
would
one
ask
ourselves
at
times
what
is
heritage
and,
of
course,
what
is
the
role
of
heritage
and
City
Planning
I?
Think
one
of
the
things
that
what's
most
remarkable
for
us
is
that
the
definition
or
the
the
changing
perception
of
cultural
heritage,
a
no
other
City
than
like
Toronto,
has
really
had
to
embrace
this.
This
idea,
12
years
ago,
in
27,
2007
council
adopted
the
principle
of
a
phase
1
heritage
management
plan
that
provided
this
planning
framework
and
a
strategy
for
managing
heritage.
L
The
plan
recognized
that
our
understanding
of
the
past
and
of
our
heritage
resources
requires
us
to
pay
attention
to
the
overlapping
layers
of
history
and
to
the
diversity
of
stories
and
symbolism,
and
to
consider
that
for
the
future
in
the
proceeding,
though,
is
that
this
concept
that
a
this
management
plan
at
the
same
time
we
have
this
confluence
of
rapid
pace
of
development.
We
know
that
not
that
old
and
new
can
coexist
and
together
can
enrich
our
sense
of
place
and
revealing
the
layers
and
this
of
the
the
of
the
city's
culture.
L
L
The
reality,
however,
is
that,
despite
the
45
years
of
Heritage
identification
and
evaluation,
there
has
yet
to
be
a
comprehensible
and,
over
and
over
a
overarching,
organized
effort
to
identify
the
city's
heritage.
In
the
amalgamated
city
of
20
years
ago,
large
portions
of
the
city
have
not
been
surveyed
for
heritage
properties.
An
unknown
number
of
heritage
properties
remain
unidentified.
L
What
is
a
here?
Citywide
survey?
It's
an
international
best
practice
most
of
the
north
american
cities.
Leading
cities
are
doing
it
UK
raelia.
A
survey
is
a
starting
resource
for
local
planning
heritage
planning.
It
in
itself
is
not
a
statutory
role,
rather
than
as
survey
helps
municipal
governments
make
decisions
that
reflect
on
the
local
heritage.
Value
supports
the
creation
of
a
heritage
list
or
heritage
areas
which
identify
places
to
be
tracked
protected
under
a
local
planning
regime.
M
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Gary
me
too.
My
gain
that
was
the
project
manager
for
this
study
and
I'd
like
to
recognize
off
the
top
that
we
had
a
project
team
composed
of
people
from
across
the
city,
Planning
Division
that
participated
in
this.
We
wanted
it
to
make
sure
that
it
was
understood.
This
was
not
a
heritage
tool,
but
this
is
a
city
planning
tool
and
I
want
to
thank
them
all
for
for
their
help.
M
In
this
study,
the
key
sources
of
information
behind
the
study,
apart
from
benefiting
from
our
own
best
practices,
and
that
was
a
part
of
our
process,
was
to
do
a
sector
scan
of
other
leading
municipalities
in
North,
America
and
beyond,
and
then
to
take
the
best
advice
that
we
received
from
that
sector
scan
and
bring
it
to
Toronto
and
speak
to
our
own
leading
experts
in
our
own
heritage
sector.
Here
to
understand
how
best
to
apply
that
and
that's
a
summary
that
is
also
in
the
report.
M
M
That
will
allow
us
to
do
two
things:
first,
to
build
the
necessary
resources
for
a
large-scale
project
and
two
to
test
our
methodologies
in
our
existing
study
work
program
and
by
working
through
the
backlog
of
nominations,
so
that
we
thoroughly
understand
our
methodologies
and
we
can
come
back
to
Council
in
2021
with
a
report
that
can
review
phase
1
and
present
a
more
thorough
costing
and
how
we
can
scale
this
up.
So
an
answer
to
the
question
of
how
long
is
this
going
to
take
and
how
much
is
it
going
to
cost?
Our
answer
is.
M
This
is
why
we
need
phase
1.
We
need
to
test
and
make
sure
we
can
come
back
with
really
good
answers.
Following
some
testing
in
phase
one
I
would
want
to
highlight
as
well
in
this
slide
just
the
two
pieces,
the
communication
strategy
and
how
important
that's
going
to
be
to
us
and
an
indigenous
engagement
program
that
we
have
been
talking
with
the
indigenous
Affairs
Office
about
beginning
in
2019.
So
we'd
like
to
start
our
engagement
on
this
program
with
Toronto's
indigenous
communities
and
then
to
drill
down
a
little
bit
further
into
two
particular
items.
M
We,
the
best
practice
really
for
this
scale
of
a
survey,
is
to
use
a
citywide,
historic
context
statements,
and
these
are
really
historical
narratives
that
tell
us
how
the
city
and
neighborhoods
within
the
city
have
evolved
and
changed
over
time.
What
the
key
drivers
are,
the
key
significant
periods
are,
and
then
we
can
look
at
individual
properties
and
areas
and
understand
how
directly
or
not
they
relate
to
those
context,
statements
and
that
can
help
us
define
their
significance.
M
So
those
contact
statements
are
going
to
be
a
critical
part
of
phase
one.
The
survey
will
then
result
in
a
database
and
accessible
through
a
map,
so
everybody
can
review
at
community.
Consultation
will
happen
both
in
the
context
statement
phase
and
then
also
as
we
move
through
the
surveys
on
the
ground
and
then
finally,
to
say.
L
So
how
this
becomes
a
reality
and
why
it's
why?
The
timing
is
now
bill?
108
is,
while
we
don't
know
the
specific
implications.
We
do
know
the
framework
that,
no
matter
what
we're
gonna
have
to
be
faster
on
recommending
to
City
Council
on
heritage,
designation
and
listing
this.
This
type
of
survey
feeds
in
not
only
for
something
of
that
purpose,
but
also
I
wanted
to
say
the
broad
picture
that
we
see
of
this
survey
survey.
L
That's
also
going
to
feed
in
to
a
variety
of
really
important
tools
that
we
use
and
be
it
through
official
plan
or
heritage
districts,
urban
design,
guidelines,
I.
Think.
The
key
for
us
is
that
this
really
is
I
shouldn't,
say
the
center
of
the
universe.
It
does
seem
to
be
the
center
of
the
diagram.
It
is
I
think
what
most
importantly
is
it
has
an
output
that
will
serve
multiple
purposes
and
help
us
I,
would
say
transition
and
transform
our
practices
on
a
day
to
day
basis.
L
This
is
especially
essential
for
us
that
we
recognize
our
investment,
that
we
need
to
do
to
modernize
our
heritage
register,
our
residents
and
our
and
our
community,
and
our
investors
are
demanding
more
online
accessible
information
enriched
in
data
that
will
serve
them
in
a
timely
manner.
It
also
allows
us
I
think
to
celebrate
the
identity
and
our
heritage
that
we
have
in
our
city,
so
where
we
see
ourselves
going
and
our
next
steps
is
certainly
I
think
a
pragmatic
approach.
L
What
we
can
do
immediately
in
this
in
this
operating
year
in
this
fiscal
year
is
proceeding
with
our
work
on
our
IT
solution,
we're
laying
the
groundwork
for
that.
We
will
be
hiring
our
consultants
to
start
out
our
contact
statement
if
we
are
adopted
by
council
and
giving
the
direction
and
most
importantly,
is
the
legacy
or
ongoing
backlog
that
we
have
of
outstanding
nominations.
We
see
that
as
our
priority
and
our
work
in
the
in
the
time
ahead
of
us,
the
report
itself
outlines
of
financial
implications.
L
For
us,
I
would
say
that
the
proposed
approach
for
us
is
incremental
and
proposes
in
this
face
to
be,
if
sufficiently
resourced.
We
can
efficiently
and
effectively
identify
heritage
resources
throughout
the
city
while
providing
timely
research
and
baseline
data
to
service
in
the
next
years
to
come.
Thank
you.
A
N
N
We've
reviewed
the
June
6
staff
report
on
the
citywide
survey
in
which
to
make
the
following
comments.
First,
we
commend
staff
for
their
report
and
we
appreciate
the
complexity
of
this
undertaking.
We
also
support
the
need
for
the
architectural
Conservancy
of
Ontario
and
heritage
Toronto
to
play
vital
roles
in
its
implementation.
The
survey
constitutes
the
first
serious
reconsideration
of
how
the
city
addresses
heritage
since
1973
when
the
Toronto
historical
board
started
its
inventory.
The
technical
expert
panel
consulted
during
the
preparation
of
this
report
recommended
that
a
manifesto
be
created.
N
This
framing
document
would
explain
why
the
survey
needs
to
be
undertaken
and
how
it
would
be
implemented.
Why
does
the
survey
need
to
be
undertaken?
We'd
like
to
make
four
points.
First,
in
the
last
30
years,
the
nature
of
heritage
has
changed
instead
of
focusing
on
buildings
and
monuments.
Heritage
can
now
celebrate
many
things.
It
can
be
indigenous
people's
cultural
ties
to
the
land.
It
can
be
the
cultures
of
new
Canadians.
It
can
be
intangible.
Second,
the
existing
heritage
registry
accumulates
data
on
bricks
and
mortar
heritage.
The
proposed
survey
should
expand
the
definition
of
heritage.
N
How
do
you
assess
the
heritage
value
of
the
first
Chinese
shopping,
mall
and
Scarborough,
or
indigenous
cultural
presence
on
the
land?
Third,
the
existing
Heritage
Register
is
heavily
focused
on
the
downtown
core,
understandable,
as
the
register
was
created
by
the
former
city
of
Toronto,
but
it
is
no
longer
representative
of
this
great
city
in
recognizing
heritage.
We
ascribe
value
to
places
every
Torontonian
should
feel
that
their
neighborhood
has
a
history
and
that
it
is
appreciated
as
part
of
the
city.
Fourth,
a
survey
shouldn't
result
in
a
more
intensely
regulated
municipal
structure.
N
Instead,
it
should
open
pathways
for
communities
to
celebrate
the
city's
broad
cultural
history
and
for
volunteer
networks
to
play
a
vital
role
in
recognizing
that
diversity.
How
is
the
survey
to
be
implemented?
We
would
like
to
make
four
suggestions.
First,
expand
beyond
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act.
The
Act,
which
focuses
on
listing
and
designating
individual
properties
is
too
limited
to
address
a
contemporary
understanding
of
heritage.
Using
the
act
in
its
regulation,
906
is
the
main
tools
for
implementing
the
survey
is
fraught
with
difficulty.
N
Well,
the
Act
could
be
used
to
identify
and
designate
significant
built
heritage
resources.
It
should
not
drive
the
methodology,
nor
should
it
be
the
primary
lens
through
which
tens
of
thousands
properties
are
evaluated
ii
work
with
planning
staff,
the
planning
staff
who
know
the
neighborhoods
of
the
city
so
well
should
be
instrumental
in
developing
the
foundational
work
of
the
survey.
Their
knowledge
and
expertise
would
help
us
better
understand
the
city
not
just
for
heritage
stewardship
stewardship,
but
for
addressing
planning
issues
as
well.
Third
conduct
the
survey
in
to
clearly
defined
phases.
N
The
first
phase
should
focus
on
discovering
and
understanding
the
history
of
toronto,
its
neighborhoods
and
heritage
values
identified
by
communities.
This
phase
should
be
undertaken
without
preset
or
assumed
ideas
about
how
this
information
will
be
regulated
or
used.
It
would
include
an
overview
of
Toronto's
urban
morphology,
as
well
as
neighborhood
heritage
context,
statements
that
address
community
and
social
values.
A
subsequent
phase
would
involve
a
deep
dive
into
individual
assessments
of
the
more
than
400,000
properties
in
the
city.
Fourth,
have
a
timeline
for
completion
of
phase
one.
N
The
foundational
framework
of
phase
one
is
essential
to
creating
a
comprehensive
planning
tool.
After
this
phase,
the
city
can
assess
the
progress
and
direction
of
the
survey
and
move
to
focus
on
the
fine
grain
of
individual
buildings.
The
end
goal
is
to
bring
Toronto
together
and
to
respect
and
recognize
the
expansive
history
of
the
amalgamated
city
and
its
citizens.
We
think
a
well-executed
City
survey
can
help
make
this
happen.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
N
D
In
other
words,
my
understanding
of
this
survey
is
that
it
is
all
about
making
sure
that
there's
more
predictability
and
an
understanding
even
before
there
is
this
sort
of
contested
fight
over
or
a
development,
so
that
everybody
knows
what
they're
working
with
so
I.
Just
I
was
confused
by
the
idea
of
heritage
having
to
consult
with
planning
when
they
are
planning,
I.
Think.
D
Okay,
would
you
perhaps
this
is
more
of
a
conversation
of
directly
with
Michael,
obviously
a
few
real
words,
but
I
just
ask
you
to
consider
and
pass
on
to
Michael
that
you
know
when
we're
considering
heritage
and
we're,
considering
all
the
other
planning
matters
that
it's
really
important
to
recognize
that
the
heritage,
not
only
rhetorically,
is
part
of
our
planning
process,
but
literally,
is
part
of
our
any
division.
Absolutely.
N
O
P
Good
afternoon
and
thank
you
planning
and
housing
committee
members,
my
name
is
Susan
JAMA
and
I
am
the
assistant
curator
of
the
block-by-block
program,
and
here
with
me
today
is
Maggie
Hassan
and
she
is
the
block-by-block
program
director,
so
the
citywide
heritage
serve.
A
feasibility
study
includes
a
number
of
exciting
recommendations.
We
are
particularly
pleased
that
diversity
and
social
equity
will
be
fundamental
principles
of
the
survey.
It
also
offers
an
opportunity
to
strengthen
intercultural
community
building
and
governance
in
Toronto
neighbourhoods,
with
strong
support
from
Council.
P
We
believe
the
survey
has
the
potential
to
enrich
our
citywide
understanding
of
heritage
itself,
bringing
underrepresented
perspectives
into
both
the
Heritage
and
planning
sectors.
One
section
of
this
staff
report
on
the
surveys.
Feasibility
focuses
on
public
engagement,
which
will
be
vital
to
the
success
of
initiative,
giving
the
exciting
opportunities
that
the
survey
represents.
The
Toronto
Ward
museum
recommends
that
an
equity
based
public
engagement
approach
to
be
articulated
early
in
the
process
and
be
shared
widely
as
widely
as
part
of
public
communications
about
the
survey.
P
The
block-by-block
model
has
been
extremely
successful.
Our
approach
to
preservation
of
cultural
heritage
has
been
recognized
both
provincially
and
nationally,
and
has
received
over
800,000
in
funding
today
in
2007,
the
Department
of
Canadian
Heritage
and
the
Ontario
150
fund
supported
us
to
work
nationally
with
over
5,000
people,
preserving
oral
histories
in
historical
immigrant
neighborhoods
in
Montreal,
Vancouver
and
Toronto.
P
Now,
with
support
from
the
Ontario
Trillium
Foundation,
we
are
working
extensively
for
three
years
in
four
tirana:
areas:
Agincourt
victoria
park
region
park
and
park,
dale
learning
about
sites
of
cultural
value
from
residents
who
are
not
typically
engaged
in
heritage
or
planning
initiatives.
We
welcome
the
community
to
diversity
and
social
equity
in
the
citywide
heritage
survey
report
with
an
equity
based
approach
to
public
engagement.
This
survey
will
both
strength
in
toronto
communities
and
enrich
our
collective
understanding
of
Toronto's
heritage.
Thank
you
thank.
A
O
Afternoon
good
afternoon,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
the
committee.
My
name
is
Jesse
Grahm
I
am
the
associate
professor
at
the
school
of
Urban
and
Regional
Planning
Ryerson,
University
and
I
ensue
enthusiastically
welcomed
the
recommendations
for
citywide
heritage
survey
program.
This
program
is
a
proactive
initiative
in
that
it
will
help
identify
cultural
heritage,
resources
of
pre
and
post
European
settlement
in
multicultural
Toronto.
In
addition,
this
heritage
survey
can
be
used
as
an
effective
tool
to
engage
the
public
and
enhance
community
empowerment
and
civic
leadership
in
response
to
heritage
preservation.
O
Also
I'm
delighted
to
see
that
social
equity
is
considered
a
key
goal
of
the
heritage
survey,
which
shows
the
commitment
and
the
potential
to
include
immigrants,
refugees,
indigenous
and
racialized
people
and
other
marginalized
members
to
voice
under-represented
perspectives
in
heritage
planning
and
preservation
process.
As
one
of
the
most
diverse
and
multicultural
cities
in
the
world,
Toronto
has
an
untapped
potential
to
preserve
and
enhance
its
unique
cultural
heritage,
which
requires
equitable
planning
policies
and
processes
to
ensure
the
delivery
of
equitable
outcomes
as
cultural
assets
in
diverse
communities
could
be
subtle.
O
Intangible
and
unconventional
I
would
like
to
use
two
examples
to
specifically
adjust
the
importance
of
and
the
needs
for,
equitable
community
engagement,
as
it
will
be
vital
to
the
success
of
this
mounted
year.
Community-Based
heritage
survey
program.
First,
as
one
of
the
research
partners
working
with
the
Toronto
watt
Museum
in
their
block
program
in
the
past
year,
I
have
witnessed
successful
use
engagements
through
the
program
in
various
immigrant
neighborhoods
I
echoed
the
key
concerns
of
marginalization.
O
Here,
as
are
you
I'm,
using
a
quote
from
Susan
and
Maggie's
presentation,
the
residents
that
the
what
museum
engaged
in
immigrant
neighborhoods
do
not
typically
see
heritage
initiatives
as
for
them,
nor
as
something
they
can
meaningfully
contribute
to.
Therefore,
to
properly
and
equitably,
engage
marginalized
community
members,
the
Heritage
Survey
should
consider
meaningful
and
community-based
and
equity
based
approaches.
Second,
in
May
2019,
the
American
Planning
Association,
the
APA
released
its
first
ever
planning
for
equity
policy
guide,
clearly
stating
planners
responsibility
to
address
issues
related
to
social
equity
and
inclusion.
O
Here,
I
use
the
Towanda
Ward
museum
example
and
a
pas
planning
for
equity
guides,
as
reference
points
to
some
to
summarize
the
city
white
heritage.
Soft
survey
provides
an
exciting
opportunity
for
diverse
communities
in
Toronto
to
preserve
and
enhance
their
cultural
heritage
through
an
equity
lens,
diverse
communities
will
be
engaged
collectively
to
bond
with
each
other
and
help
shape
and
reshape
to
and
whose
cultural
identity.
Thank
you
thank.
Q
I'm
here,
in
my
capacity
as
a
member
of
the
technical
Harwich
survey
expert
panel,
that's
quite
a
mouthful.
We
advise
staff
through
the
feasibility
study,
I
support
the
staff
recommendations
and
the
additional
motion
from
the
Toronto
Preservation
Board
as
one
of
the
two
signatures
on
the
Toronto
Star
opinion
piece,
which
made
the
suggestion
that
a
citywide
heritage
survey
was
urgently
needed.
The
other
signature
was
Michael
McClelland,
which,
with
your
support,
will
move.
Q
While
we
would
always
love
to
see
such
projects
move
faster.
It's
also
important
to
think
carefully
about
how
to
approach
this.
Two
major
undertaking
frustration
with
the
current
pace
of
listing
and
designation
is
mounted
across
the
city.
As
we
see
our
neighborhood
touch-tones
disappearing.
Dealing
with
the
current
backlog
is
such
an
important.
First,
step
and
I'm
pleased
to
see
this
as
a
priority.
Q
I
worry
that
the
recent
changes
to
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act
will
make
it
harder
to
protect
what
is
valued
by
communities
a
principle
enshrined
in
all
versions
of
the
Ontario
Heritage
Act
until
bill
108,
which
significantly
bill
108,
significantly
weakens
local
decision-making.
The
City
of
Toronto
may
need
to
find
its
own
local
system
as
it
had
before.
The
Ontario
Heritage
Act
was
drafted
in
1976
to
avoid
the
endless
stream
of
Appeals,
which
will
inevitably
follow
the
reason
two
provincial
introduction
of
new
ways
to
circumvent
the
antara.
Q
He
reject
whatever
tools
we
use
to
protect,
what
we
value.
We
need
to
know
what
is
out
there
across
the
city
and
we
need
to
the
city
or
engage
with
community
to
gather
that
information
I
was
invited
to
serve
on
that
on
on
the
te
P
as
a
Harwich
practitioner
and
I
was
also
able
to
be
a
bridge
to
the
work
being
done
by
the
Toronto
branch
of
the
architectural
Conservancy
Ontario.
Q
In
my
volunteer
capacity,
I've
been
intimately
connected
with
the
development
of
Steel
built
with
ACO
tio
tio
built
was
developed
as
a
tool
to
allow
everyone
who
has
information
to
share
it.
Aco
is
in
a
position
to
start
working
with
neighborhoods
to
gather
what
they
know
into
teal
built
where
it
can
be
a
resource
to
city
staff,
other
communities
and
anyone
interested
in
Toronto's
built
environment.
It
is
by
no
means
a
substitute
for
the
database.
Q
A
N
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Caitlin
Wainwright
and
I'm.
The
director
of
programming
at
heritage,
Toronto
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
allowing
heritage
Toronto
to
be
here
today
to
speak
in
support
of
the
Toronto
heritage
survey.
As
your
City
of
Toronto
agency,
we
are
mandated
to
represent
the
voices
and
interests
of
the
Toronto
public
and
heritage
community.
In
2018,
we
worked
with
over
a
hundred
community
organizations
and
more
than
150
volunteers.
Earlier
the
this
year,
each
of
Toronto
City
Council
members
received
a
copy
of
our
state
of
heritage
report
which
I'm
holding
up.
N
This
report
contains
17
recommendations
about
how
to
better,
preserve
and
promote
the
city's
rich
heritage.
The
report
was
informed
by
consultation
with
over
70
community
groups
and
neighborhood
organizations
that
value
our
city's
heritage.
It
identified
a
citywide
heritage
survey
as
the
critical
heritage
issue
for
the
city
to
address,
but
that
wasn't
the
first
time
that
we
called
for
this
heritage.
N
Toronto
first
called
for
a
proactive
survey
of
property
in
2001
18
years
ago,
during
its
first
state
of
heritage
report,
our
predecessors
noted
that
quote:
Toronto's
built
heritage
inventory
is
woefully
incomplete
and
they
called
for
a
more
complete
record
of
Toronto's
built
cultural
and
natural
heritage.
That
would
be
a
valuable
tool
for
planners
developers,
tourism
and
the
municipal
government.
We
have
since
reiterated
that
call
in
2011
2015
and
most
recently,
this
past
February
in
the
state
of
heritage
report.
Since
amalgamation
heritage,
Toronto
has
held
the
position
that
you
cannot
protect.
N
What
you
don't
know
is
important.
The
conservation
of
cultural
heritage
resources
is
an
integral
component
of
good
city
planning.
It
contributes
to
a
sense
of
place
economic
prosperity
as
well
as
healthy
and
equitable
communities,
and
I'd
like
to
echo
the
comments
of
the
other
speakers
that
the
principle
of
socially
equitable
engagement
is
indeed
important
to
the
success
of
the
proposed
survey.
Heritage
conservation
is
absolutely
compatible
with
development.
N
Some
of
the
most
innovative
and
exciting
residential
commercial
and
institutional
projects
in
our
city
right
now
have
their
roots
in
a
heritage
building
and
this
October,
our
45th
annual
heritage,
Toronto
Awards,
will
celebrate
some
of
those
incredible
built
heritage
projects.
Citywide
surveys,
as
staff
have
mentioned,
are
a
best
practice
planning
tool.
N
Torontonians
have
been
waiting
for
action
on
this
for
nearly
two
decades,
so
we
are
pleased
to
see
the
forward
momentum
that
the
heritage
inventory
survey
has
gained
over
the
past
year
and
we
commend
the
work
of
our
colleagues
in
Sandy
planning
and
look
forward
to
supporting
the
implemented
Toronto
heritage
survey.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
R
Great
council
Bradford
thanks
very
much
the
chair,
I
think
the
report
and
presentation
you
raised
really
good
point
about
our
need
to
make
heritage
preservation
proactive
rather
than
reactive.
That's
where
we
want
to
get
to.
How
do
we
do
the
work
of
heritage
conservation
in
a
way
that
moves
towards
creating
that
predictability
for
new
development?
R
You
know
everything
that
goes
with
that.
So
for
for
us
in
developing
the
Heritage
survey,
we'll
have
a
good
early
understanding
of
both
the
context
of
the
history
of
the
city
and
its
its
its
growth
and
change
across
the
entire
breadth
of
the
city,
but
also
landowners
will
know
that
as
well,
because
this
will
be
done
transparently
and
in
the
public
domain.
So
it's
an
essential.
R
You
know
ingredient
in
understanding
what
you
can,
what
you
can,
how
you
experience
your
neighborhood
and
how
you
can
utilize
your
property
going
forward
and
ultimately
it
can
shape
both
development
applications,
but
also
policies
of
the
city
or
other
approaches
of
the
city.
So
very
much
it's
a
heritage,
planning
tool
that
will
just
make
us
smarter
overall
about
how
to
approach
the
growth
and
change
that's
happening
across
the
city.
I,
don't
know
Mary.
Do
you
want
to
supplement
that
I
think.
R
S
Well,
currently,
our
approach
isn't
even
exactly
block
by
block
it
tends
to
be
site
by
site,
and
that
is
very
time-consuming
and
frustrating
for
everybody.
So
what
the
survey
would
aim
to
do
is
to
provide
historic
contact
statements
for
every
part
of
this
city,
which
provides
a
foundational
layer
against
which
an
understanding
of
the
importance
of
individual
buildings
can
be
measured.
So
it
actually
allows
us
to
do
a
few
things
at
once.
It
allows
us
to
understand
individual
properties
as
they
relate
to
their
areas
and
also
to
the
city.
S
So,
right
now,
when
we
look
at
a
property,
we're
very
much
focused
on
that
lot
on
that
block,
and
this
would
allow
us
to
be
more
broad-minded
about
an
understanding
of
the
different
types
of
resources
in
the
city.
The
different
locations
and
I
believe
that
one
of
the
fundamental
strengths
of
this
is
going
to
be
early
on.
Getting
that
context,
layer
right
and
having
the
community
engagement
that
we've
talked
about
on
the
equity
lens.
So.
R
When
you
look
at
page
3,
those
Maps
they're
in
the
slide
deck,
you
just
give
us
a
sense
of
how
much
of
the
heritage
work
was
done
in
the
core
versus
outside
of
the
core
and
how
we're
expecting
that
to
change
on
in
the
study,
there
was
another
slide
that
showed
areas
of
development
pressure:
a
graduated
map,
there's
page
13
development
application
intensity
by
neighborhood
and
community
council
area.
How
will
this
new
approach?
How
are
we
expecting
that
to
change
with
this
study?
Ok,.
S
Well,
the
map
on
on
slide
3
gives
you
a
sense
of
when,
where
we
have
done
intentional
surveys
and
by
intentional
surveys,
I
mean,
as
a
part
of
a
secondary
plan,
a
planning
study
or
a
heritage
conservation
district
study.
And
so
that's
in
the
map
on
the
right.
Those
a
tend
to
be
more
plentiful
in
the
downtown
area,
really
because
the
planning
tools
are
often
development,
driven,
so
divisional
II.
S
We
are
trying
to
put
planning
tools
in
place
either
to
prepare
for
development
or
to
accompany
and
as
its
as
it's
happening
and
a
lot
of
those
little
dots
that
you
see
on
the
left
are
either
part
of
conservation
districts
or
they
are
the
site-by-site
resolutions
that
have
come
up
when
someone
has
applied
to
develop
a
property
and
a
heritage
building
has
either
already
been
identified
or
is
identified
through
the
planning
process.
So
it's
not
that
we've
intentionally
surveyed
the
downtown
and
not
surveyed
the
rest.
S
It
really
is
part
of
the
divisional
response
to
where
the
development
is
happening.
What
this
proposes
to
do,
which
will
bring
a
lot
more
equity,
not
just
in
terms
of
social
and
cultural
equity,
but
also
in
terms
of
district
equity,
is
on
page
13
staff.
Call
that
it's
a
it's
a
heat
map
so,
rather
than
taking
a
look,
yet
you
can
run
the
numbers
and
you
can
say
where's
the
development
and
you
can
see
downtown
Toronto
lighting
up.
S
Well,
if
you
run
that
same
question
district
by
district,
what
you
see
is
the
hot
areas
within
each
district,
not
just
an
overall
emphasis
of
development
downtown.
So
it's
our
intention
to
ensure
that,
within
the
districts
we
are
understanding
areas,
understanding
that
change
is
relative
and
that
things
are
happening
in
those
districts
as
well.
That.
F
L
Can
speak
to
that
counselor?
What
we
have
determined
is
that
or
approach
as
in
other
municipalities
is.
We
actually
believe
that
we
need
to
use
the
regulation
906
the
provincial
criteria.
This
is
so
that
we
are
in
a
state
of
readiness
if
we
do
need
to
move
ahead.
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
done,
though,
with
the
criteria,
the
provincial
criteria,
is
that
often
it
does
say
and
what
does
it
mean
to
the
contextual
value
of
the
area?
But
we've
had
that
as
the
missing
piece.
L
So
we
we
need
these
sort
of
broader
statements,
the
way
that
we've
done
with
our
heritage
districts
or
broad
like
to
really
put
it
in
perspective
of
what
does
it
mean
to
be
in
King
Parliament,
in
an
industrial
area
from
the
19th
century,
we
didn't
have
that
before
we
would
go
case-by-case
as
an
individual
research.
So
I
would
actually
say
that
this
gives
us
an
enhanced
understanding
so
that
we
can
ask
our
questions
in
the
criteria
and
evaluation
and
to
be
efficient.
L
We
we
will
not
go
into
a
deep
dive
on
individual
research,
the
way
that
we
do
with
designation.
So
we
do
see
the
survey
accelerating
our
identification,
those
two
things:
a
historic
overview
and
being
able
to
sort
of
have
a
comparative
analysis
that
we
didn't
have
before.
We
make
us
well-positioned
and.
F
M
S
L
Have
those
examples
that
we
consulted
but
I
would
say
the
Austin
model
and
the
New
Zealand
there's
a
Auckland
has
done
an
exceptional
work
and
we've
been
looking
at
theirs
as
best
practice
and
I
would
say
that
you
know.
One
of
the
things
for
us
always
is
to
call
out
to
those
who
have
done
that,
but
I
would
think
that
this
would
be
groundbreaking
work
for
us
specifically.
L
F
Thank
you
for
getting
to
where
I'd
like
to
explore
with
indigenous
culture
and
knowledge,
and
even
the
way
we
explore
placemaking
today,
the
the
cultural
and
natural
values
that
are
placed
placed
in
place
or
situated
in
place
is
often
discussed
amongst
indigenous
knowledge
and
and
learnings
and
storytelling,
and
the
indigenous
community
did
not
necessarily
build
monuments
and
buildings
to
themselves.
They
lived
very
differently
from
us,
probably
Lots
that
we
can
learn
from
the
Heritage.
F
S
Through
the
chair,
I
think
from
the
outset,
what
we
envision
is
a
not
not
consultation
and
even
further
than
engagement.
It
is
to
actually
have
a
separate
strategy
that
involves
indigenous
groups
in
this
city,
who
will
be
answering
those
questions
for
themselves,
not
trying
to
fit
themselves
into
a
predetermined
idea
that
we
have.
We
spend
a
lot
of
time
going
over
this
report
and
different
versions
of
presentations
always
noticing
the
word
property.
You
know,
because
we
talk
about
heritage
properties
and
every
time
we
saw
property
strike
it
out,
we're
not
talking
properties,
not
always.
S
Sometimes
we
are
so.
We
will
be
looking
to
our
Toronto
indigenous
communities,
both
ancestral
and
and
urban,
and
transplanted
that
to
define
those
things
for
themselves,
and
we
will
have
to
develop
a
special
way
of
ensuring
that
if
it's
a
map
layer
or
if
it's
a
special
kind
of
register
or
whatever
it
is
that
it
reflects
the
worldview
and
experiences
of
those
individuals,
that's
very
important
to
us
and
it's
very
important
to
us
that
we
do
it
first.
Thank.
T
L
So
one
of
the
things
I
think
for
us
is
the
first:
is
this
historic
context
across
the
city
we
have
yet
to
do
that
as
a
document
itself.
The
other
I
would
say
is
that
we
have
a
strategy
for
us
with
our
backlog
and
we've
talked
about
it.
One
of
the
things
I
think
is
just
to
start
triaging
and
actually
understanding
that
the
right
now
we've
had
most
of
the
time
as
individual
requests.
One
of
the
things
that
we
would
look
at
is
as
groupings.
L
T
You
and
I
just
want
to
zero
in
on
young
Eddington
for
a
minute
in
the
trawl
funeral
home
I.
Think
I
did
send
you
an
email
about
this.
There
are
beside
it
on
alexander
boulevard,
two
very
significant
pillars
that
have
seemed
to
have
fallen
apart.
I
know
it
was
a
real
passion
of
councillor
milchin
when
he
was
in
councilor
Bala's
position
as
the
chair
of
planning
and
and
growth.
At
the
time
those
pillars
are
literally
falling
apart
and
the
trough
funeral
home
is
about
to
be
demolished.
S
Through
the
chair,
I
I
am
aware
of
that
being
an
ongoing
issue
over
the
years.
I
believe
that
it's
a
kind
of
a
complicated
answer
that
the
piers
themselves
have
been
rebuilt
over
time,
I
think
they.
They
certainly
have
value
in
the
sense
that
people
value
them.
That's
kind
of
the
point
of
understanding
what
heritage
is
right,
what
people
value
they
are
not
protected
and
I
believe
we
were
contacted
about
it
a
number
of
years
ago
and
determined
that
they
were
not
going
to
be
added
to
the
register
at
some
point.
A
Thank
you,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions
myself.
I
just
want
to
follow
up
on
counsel
wrong,
Tams
questioning
she
was
asking
about
the
indigenous
communities
and
I
would
like
to
ask
about
some
of
our
immigrant
communities.
So,
what's
going
to
be
our
strategy
to
have
that
equity
lenses
in
there
as
well?
And
how
do
we
ensure
that
that
big
part
of
our
history
of
our
cities
captured
through
this
survey,.
M
Think
partnerships
are
gonna,
be
key
to
the
engagement
program,
and
so
one
of
the
recommendations
is
to
investigate
partnerships
and
I
think
to
answer
a
couple
of
questions.
If
we
have
a
partner
like
the
Toronto
Public
Library,
for
example,
they
will
be
able
to
help
be
a
resource
to
gather
information
to
make
it
accessible
for,
for
others,
beyond
City
Planning.
M
With
regards
to
cultural
communities,
one
of
the
advantages
we're
we're
choosing
to
use
the
city's
neighborhoods
define
neighborhoods
that
are
correlated
with
census
data,
so
we'll
be
able
to
comb
that
census
data
back
through
years
to
identify
cultural
communities
that
have
lived
in
various
parts
of
the
city.
And
then
we
intend
to
reach
out
to
those
communities
and
as
we
move
through
through
the
city,
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
them
and
to
ask
them
about
their
stories
that
relate
back
to
places
where
they
may
no
longer
be
so.
M
D
Well,
I'm,
as
both
as
a
counselor,
but
also
so
Tron,
Tony
and
I'm,
just
so
excited
to
see.
This
item
finally
arrived
at
this
committee,
kasseri
Wong's
ham
and
I
moved
to
motion
in
2015
and
it
was
called
I
think
quite
appropriately,
catching
up
with
the
past
improving
the
city's
heritage
preservation
framework.
But
as
you've
heard
that
that
motion
wasn't
alone,
there
have
been
other
members
over
the
years
that
have
moved
motions
citizens
throughout
the
years
requesting
something
like
what
we
hopefully
will
be
moving
forward
with
today.
D
D
D
You
know
what
this
is
is
about,
knowing
what
we
have
it's
about,
recognizing
that
we
can't
always
be
playing
reaction,
every
time
that
there's
about
to
be
a
demolition
or
perhaps
a
demolition
that
we
legally
because
of
the
governance
structure
that
we
have
cannot
say
no
to,
as
was
the
case
with
the
Staller,
E's
experience
or
be,
or
the
building
so
I
mean,
and
every
time
this
happens,
there's
an
outcry
and
the
councillors
and
the
community
says.
Why
didn't
you
do
something
earlier
and
our
heritage
planning
staff
say?
D
Well,
we
didn't
have
the
tools
to
do
that.
We
would
have
liked
to.
We
have
an
opportunity
now
to
provide
them
with
those
tools,
the
tools
that
we've
asked
them
to
have
and
the
tools
that
they've
asked
us
to
provide
what
this
isn't
about
is
sterilizing
every
building
in
Toronto
there
have
been.
There
are
some
buildings
that
need
full
preservation.
Clearly
I
mean
there
were:
there
were
some
efforts,
many
years
ago
to
demolish
old
City
Hall.
D
There
were
efforts
to
demolish
Union,
Station,
I,
think
most
every
tronto,
nyan
couldn't
imagine
being
without
those
buildings,
and,
frankly
many
in
toronto.
Nians
don't
even
know
about
many
of
the
buildings
that
they
don't
know
about
because
they
were
demolished
at
that
time
in
the
phoneme
of
progress.
Many
of
those
sites
that
were
demolished
remain
parking
lots
up
until
the
1980s
90s.
But
what
this
does
do
is
that
this
provides
predictability
and
provide
some
surety
both
for
the
city
and
for
the
development
industry.
D
It
makes
it
last
less
adversarial
when
we
get
into
a
dynamic
where
we
have
to
consider
a
development.
If
everybody
knows
you
know
what
we're
working
with
what
this
isn't
again
is
sterilizing
I
can
actually
give
you
a
couple
of
good
examples
within
my
ward.
Just
because
I
know
these
these
sites
well,
one
would
be
1982
to
1984
Yonge
Street.
D
Lester
Pearson
former
prime
minister
once
lived
there,
so
there
was
an
agreement
to
put
a
plaque
to
do
kind
of
various
various
things
to
recognize
the
the
history
of
having
Prime
Minister
Pearson
living
there
without
sterilizing
the
building,
and
not
only
did
we
move
forward
with
the
redevelopment,
but
we
also
fought
and
won
to
get
affordable
housing
into
that
building.
There
is
another
example
of
a
mid-rise
going
that
hopefully
will
go
up
along
Yonge
Street
in
my
ward,
where
this
was
part
of
the
batch
listings.
D
Do
you
remember
the
Midtown
infocus
batch
listings
that
we
did
and
there
were
a
lot
of
people
saying?
Oh
my
gosh,
this
is
going
to
stare,
there's
not
going
to
be
any
housing.
This
is
gonna,
freeze
everything
in
time.
What
this
is
gonna
do.
If
it
moves
forward
is
retain
the
character
of
Yonge
Street,
with
the
buildings,
the
facades
and
and
and
and
the
main
part
of
the
structure
out
front.
D
So
as
you
walk
along
Yonge,
Street
it'll
will
feel
like
the
Yonge
Street
that
we
know
and
love
and
and
recognize
preserve
the
architectural
features
that
merit
preservation
while
allowing
a
mid-rise
building
to
go
up
around
us
and
above
it
that
provide
housing
and
more
opportunities
in
the
community.
That's
good
planning
and
that's
where
heritage
planning,
all
the
other
planning
matters
come
together
and
do
something
right.
D
D
If
I
made
just
married,
Tamara
Liz
all
of
you,
they
have
put
their
their
hearts
and
their
minds
and
the
experience
and
time
into
this
and
I
once
kind
of
bashed
them
for
not
moving
fast
enough
and
I
know.
I
did
because
I
was
anxious.
I
wanted
this
done
and
now
they're
coming
and
they're
saying,
they're
ready
to
move
forward
and
I
just
wanted
to
express
my
heartfelt
gratitude
for
what
they're
doing.
