Committee Decision
The Aboriginal Affairs Advisory Committee recommends that:
1. City Council reassert the Mission of the Reconciliation Action Plan which states that "The City will dedicate time, space, and money with the goal of Returning land to Indigenous governments, communities, collectives, and organizations" and further include that the mission of the Reconciliation Action Plan applies to agencies, boards and commissions, including Waterfront Toronto and CreateTO, and should be a core consideration in redevelopment of all City-owned properties.
Decision Advice and Other Information
Michael Noble, Project Manager, Waterfront Secretariat, City Planning, and Andrea L.K. Johnston, Chief Executive Officer, Johnston Research Inc., gave a presentation to the Committee.
Summary
The Project Manager, Waterfront Secretariat, City Planning, will give a presentation on the Next Phase of Waterfront Revitalization.
In 2021, City Council directed staff to reflect on the two-decade history of waterfront revitalization and to report back with a renewed vision for a further phase of waterfront revitalization work. A core priority for the next phase is to advance truth, justice and reconciliation, including through Indigenous engagement. This presentation will provide an overview of the project and Indigenous engagement process.
