Item - 2026.EC29.6

The Economic and Community Development Committee recommends that:

1. City Council designate, based on the poll results respecting the intention to designate the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area, the area described by Attachment 1 to the report (May 8, 2026) from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture as the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area, under the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 19, Business Improvement Areas.

2. City Council direct the City Solicitor to submit a by-law to designate the area described in Attachment 1 to the report (May 8, 2026) from the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, as the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area.

3. City Council approve those amendments necessary to Schedule A of the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 19, Business Improvement Areas, to include the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area.

The purpose of this report is to recommend that the area shown in Attachment 1 be designated as the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area.

In accordance with the Toronto Municipal Code, Chapter 19, Business Improvement Areas, the City Clerk conducted a poll to determine if there is sufficient support to designate the area as the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area (BIA). The proposed BIA is the area Southeast from the CN Rail Corridor from Mimico Creek to Humber Bay River and connecting with Humber Bay Park East and West side areas.

The City received the required benchmark number of ballots to validate the poll, and the majority of accepted ballots were in favour of establishing a Business Improvement Area.  Accordingly, it is recommended that City Council pass a by-law to designate the area described in Attachment 1 as the Humber Bay Shores Business Improvement Area.
