Origin
Summary
At its meeting on June 11, 2013, City Council authorized the City Manager to retain a third party consultant to undertake a Ward Boundary Review for Toronto consistent with the Terms of Reference adopted by City Council.
Following a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, at its meeting on March 5, 2014, the Bid Committee authorized the award to conduct an independent, objective analysis and review of the City of Toronto's ward boundaries to the Canadian Urban Institute.
The purpose of this report is to transmit the consultant's work plan, Draw the Line: Toronto Ward Boundary Review Project Work Plan, Civic Engagement and Public Consultation Strategy, for City Council's consideration. The work plan is consistent with the Terms of Reference adopted by City Council and applies judicially recognized principles, considers leading electoral and public policy research and advice and implements a two-step broad engagement and consultation strategy with the Toronto public, communities, key stakeholders, the Mayor and City Councillors.
Toronto’s ward boundary review must follow an independent and unbiased process that includes substantial public consultation and complies with principles set out by the courts, including the Supreme Court of Canada, and the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).
