Decision Advice and Other Information
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1. Requested the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, and the City Solicitor, to consult with the CEOs of CreateTO and the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC), and to report to the May 5, 2021 meeting of City Council with:
a. A summary timeline of the Canada Square leaseholder history, from initial development to present day;

2. Requested the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning, to report to the May 5, 2021 meeting of City Council with a brief summary detailing how the Yonge-Eglinton Centre Focused Review, approved by Council at its meeting of February 23, 2009 through PG 23.1, informs City Planning’s assessment of the current proposal by Oxford Developments on the Canada Square site.
Origin
Summary
Last month, Council supported my motion to establish a Community Working Group to inform a Canada Square Special Study Area report. Planning Staff are concurrently evaluating Oxford Development's rezoning application for the Canada Square site at the south west corner of Yonge and Eglinton.
The Working Group will be composed of local School Trustees, Residents’ Associations, Tenants’ Associations, Business Improvement Areas, neighbouring Councillors, community organizations, and other stakeholders.
Some of the stakeholders participating in the Working Group have requested information regarding the subject site be made available to them prior to the commencement of the process to inform their participation. This motion requests City Staff provide a report with the requested information at the next meeting of Council.
