Origin
Summary
Providing, for information, an update, as requested by Scarborough Community Council, on the review of rooming houses.
Advising that Community Council cannot undertake business that is already being dealt with by another committee – in this case the Executive Committee. However, there are ways for Councillors' offices to be involved in the process.
Public consultation is a key component to the rooming house review process. The results of these consultations will inform a discussion paper on rooming houses that will be presented to the Executive Committee in June 2015.
MLS will ask Councillors to share their experiences on rooming houses and to identify neighbourhoods and participants that should be consulted during the review. So far, Milliken (Seneca College Scarborough Campus) and Highland Creek (University of Toronto Scarborough) are two communities that MLS has identified for consultations.
