City Council Decision
City Council on June 24 and 25, 2026, adopted the following:
1. City Council request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to consider the addition of provisions in the Ontario Building Code addressing development on sites where municipalities have initiated legal action on matters material to the legal condition of the land and are seeking remediation of the land to its previous condition, so as not to fetter the court through the issuance of building permits prior to the conclusion of legal proceedings, as part of the Province's line-by-line review of the Ontario Building Code.
