Summary
This report is the tenth COVID-19 Recovery Update from the City Manager since April 2020. The City’s priorities continue to be on supporting residents, businesses and communities through safe reopening and maximizing vaccination rates. The City Manager’s July 2021 update introduced RecoveryTO (www.toronto.ca/RecoveryTO) as the City’s new resource for information on initiatives related to COVID-19 recovery.
The City Manager's Recovery update reports focus only on significant, cross-cutting or whole-of government recovery-related information and recommendations, such as updates on intergovernmental activities, reopening of City services and COVID-19 related financial impacts.
All other City recovery-related reports now routinely route through the appropriate Standing Committee, Community Council or directly to City Council. A summary of recent and relevant reports, media releases and announcements are highlighted in this report and linked through RecoveryTO (www.toronto.ca/RecoveryTO).
