Our City, Our Waterfront: A Panel Discussion Crombie, Bedford, Miller and more; Monday, Dec. 9
Don't miss this high-profile panel discussion on the future of our waterfront.
With the City Council vote on the waterfront jet plans looming on December 16, it’s time for some high-profile Torontonians to speak out.
Join former Toronto Mayor David Crombie, former Chief Planner Paul Bedford, renowned architect Jack Diamond and Jane Fairburn, author of “Along the Shore: Rediscovering Toronto’s Waterfront Heritage”, for a spirited talk on keeping our waterfront jet-free.
Over the course of three Special Meetings, which took place on November 15 and 18, Toronto City Council made a number of decisions that affect the non-statutory powers of the Mayor and delegate some of these responsibilities to the City’s Deputy Mayor. Council also reassumed other non-statutory powers.
"This is an unprecedented situation. I can assure my fellow councillors and the residents of Toronto that I will fulfil these delegated responsibilities to the very best of my ability,” said Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly, Ward 40. “I believe that Council will continue to work collaboratively and effectively to carry out the important business of the City of Toronto.”
