Our Encampment Dashboard provides updates encampments in parks, how we’re managing them, and outlines City’s new encampment protocol.
Encampment Protocol & Micro Shelters
Toronto now has a new Encampment Protocol with a multi-divisional approach to respond to the complex needs of those living outdoors.
Reviving the Historic Queen East BIA
As many of you know, reviving the Historic Queen East BIA is a key priority since it will play a key role in the revitalization and development of
the area.
Indigenous Centre for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Our City has been working with the local Indigenous community to develop the Indigenous Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Canada’s largest incubator supporting First Nations (status and non-status), Inuit and Métis entrepreneurs and innovators.
Bond Place Hotel Conversion
An important part of the City’s legacy from the pandemic is the current conversion of several former hotels into affordable and supportive housing.
Rental Demolition Compensation – Closing the Gap
In 2023, over 50% of rental units approved for demolition and replacement across the city were in Toronto Centre.
Maximum Temperatures in Residential Units
A common complaint is that City bylaws are not sufficiently responsive to climate change and encourage landlords to keep the heat on unnecessarily.
Downtown East Action Plan – Refresh
Since the end of the pandemic, residents have had real concerns about the condition of our Downtown East, including public drug use, encampments, homelessness, unclean laneways and sidewalks, graffiti, broken windows, break-ins, public intoxication, used needles, and a noticeable lack of visible enforcement.
More Traffic Wardens
Spanning Downtown, the Financial District, Queens Quay, and the Jarvis corridor, gridlock can be at its most acute in our Ward, especially at intersections near the Gardiner on- and off-ramps at rush hour.
Allan Gardens Encampment - August 2024 Update
We have come a long way since the summer of 2023 when Allan Gardens was the largest encampment in the city.
