That City Council amend the Recommendation by deleting the words "determine an appropriate date each year designating a Digital Literacy Day in the City of Toronto and that the first date occur in the early Fall of 2017' and inserting the words "report to the Economic Development Committee in September 2017 on the resources required to declare a Digital Literacy Day in May, 2018" so that it now reads as follows:
1. City Council direct the City Manager to work with the appropriate City staff and the Mayor’s Advocate for the Innovation Economy to report to the Economic Development Committee in September 2017 on the resources required to declare a Digital Literacy Day in May, 2018.
