As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Islington Avenue, City Council approval of this report is required.

The purpose of this report is to present the Traffic Management Plan prepared by

The closing is required as Golf Canada is hosting the 2022 Canadian Open at St. George's Golf and Country Club, located on Islington Avenue, between the intersections of Ridge Valley Crescent/Prince George Drive and Princess Margaret Boulevard/Poplar Heights Drive. The closing includes the Pre-tournament (May 30, 2022 to June 5, 2022), Tournament (June 6, 2022 to June 12, 2022) and the Post-tournament (June 13, 2022 to June 17, 2022) events.

This report also recommends implementing temporary parking, standing and stopping regulations during the Tournament week (June 6, 2022 to June 12, 2022) on streets in the vicinity of the golf club and the visitor parking areas.
