Moved by: City Councillor Whillans


Seconded by: Regional Councillor Santos


WHEREAS City Council approved Resolution C363-2020 (September 30, 2020) to support and continue advancing the GTA West Corridor Study through Brampton’s City limits; and 


WHEREAS Members of Council can request Council to reconsider a decision of Council made during the current term, in accordance with Section 13.2 of Procedure By-law 160-2004, as amended; and


WHEREAS the requirements of the Procedure By-law are met in terms of the pre-conditions for a reconsideration motion, through a Notice of Motion properly filed, subject to a two-thirds vote of Council to reconsider the decision;


THERFORE BE IT RESOLVED:


THAT the matter of Resolution C363-2020, as it relates to Council’s decision to support and advance the GTA West Corridor, be re-opened and reconsidered, as follows:

Resolution C363-2020
“WHEREAS the Ontario Ministry of Transportation initiated Stage 1 of the GTA West Environmental Assessment in 2008;
AND WHEREAS in May 2017 the GTA West Advisory Panel released its final report and its recommendations to the MTO determining that the highway contravened the province's planning objectives, was bad for the environment and was not an effective way to reduce traffic congestion;
AND WHEREAS this GTA West Highway has created uncertainty for many land owners in the protected area of Brampton since 2008;
AND WHEREAS in February 2018 the Province announced that it would not be proceeding with the GTA West project;
AND WHEREAS the Provincial Government reversed the previous decision and restarted the GTA West project on June 19, 2019;
AND WHEREAS the Provincial Government announced on August 7, 2020 the Preferred Route for the GTA West project;
AND WHEREAS the Province recently proclaimed Amendment 1 to the Growth Plan to the Greater Golden Horseshoe that shows the Future Transportation Corridor conceptually extending from Highway 427 to the broader region of Guelph/Waterloo area in Schedule 6 of the Plan;
AND WHEREAS the Province has set out the vision in the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) to achieve strong, livable and healthy communities that promote and enhance human health and social well-being, are economically and environmentally sound, and are resilient to climate change;
AND WHEREAS the Province has set out the vision in the Growth Plan for the Golden Horseshoe (2020) will support the achievement of complete communities with access to transit networks, protected employment zones and an increase in the amount and variety of housing available;
AND WHEREAS City Council endorsed in principle of an ‘urban boulevard’ as part of the City’s vision for the Heritage Heights Secondary Plan and the plan supported by PDC089-2020 and C308-2020:
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council for the City of Brampton supports the GTA West corridor with the Heritage Heights urban Boulevard portion through Brampton’s City limits.
FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Province continue to advance the GTA West Corridor EA process to assess the merits of the ‘urban boulevard’ envisioned in the City’s Heritage Heights Vision Concept;
AND FURTHER THAT this resolution be circulated to the Premier of Ontario, The Minister of Transportation, the Region of Peel, the Town of Caledon, the Town of Halton Hills and the Region of Halton.”


THAT subsequent to Council’s reconsideration of Resolution C363-2020, the following motion be considered:

WHEREAS the Province has set out the vision in the Provincial Policy Statement (2020) to achieve strong, livable and healthy communities that promote and enhance human health and social well-being, are economically and environmentally sound, and are resilient to climate change; and

WHEREAS the Province has set out the vision in A Place to Grow (Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2020) to support the achievement of complete communities with access to transit networks, protected employment zones, and an increase in the amount and variety of housing available; and

WHEREAS the GTA West Transportation Corridor Route Planning and Environmental Assessment study (now known as the Highway 413 Transportation Corridor Route Planning and Preliminary Design Project) was terminated by the previous government following the recommendation by an expert panel that the highway contravened the province’s planning objectives, was bad for the environment, and was not an effective way to reduce congestion; and

WHEREAS the Provincial Government reversed the previous decision and restarted the Environmental Assessment study in June 2019; and

WHEREAS Council for the City of Brampton wishes to take a leadership role by investing in infrastructure and communities that will mitigate and be resilient against climate change, minimize suburban sprawl and environmental impacts, and reduce dependence on cars; and

WHEREAS the Highway 413 Project has created uncertainty for many land owners and delayed development in northeast and northwest Brampton; and

WHEREAS in July 2020 Council endorsed a plan for northwest Brampton to create a complete, compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented community that will promote and enhance human health and social well-being, provide a diversity of housing typologies, and be economically and environmentally responsible; and

WHEREAS the north/south urban boulevard proposed by the City in northwest Brampton, to be located within the Highway 413 alignment, is a critical piece of infrastructure that will knit the Heritage Heights community together, maximize the parallel street network, and enable Council’s vision for a complete community to be realized; and

WHEREAS a limited access 400-series highway through Heritage Heights would create a barrier, increase car dependence, contribute to low density suburban sprawl, increase greenhouse gas emissions, increase congestion, and prevent Council’s vision for northwest Brampton from being realized; and

WHEREAS in September 2020 Council forwarded a request to the Province requesting that the Ministry of Transportation work with the City of Brampton to incorporate the urban boulevard into the overall plan for the Highway 413 corridor; and

WHEREAS the Ministry of Transportation has indicated that they will not be incorporating the urban boulevard into their corridor planning, but rather will continue to plan on the basis of the entire corridor being a 400-series limited access highway; and

WHEREAS Council is now of the opinion that the impacts of Highway 413 in the form of a 400-series highway corridor on climate change, the environment, and efforts to reduce dependence on cars and its potential to lead to increased suburban sprawl outweigh the benefits that would ensue from its construction;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

THAT Council for the City of Brampton strongly opposes investments in infrastructure that will encourage suburban sprawl and car dependence and that will negatively impact the environment; and

THAT Council for the City of Brampton continues to support an urban boulevard in the Highway 413 alignment, and strongly oppose the current design for the 400-series controlled access highway proposed by the Province of Ontario, within the Heritage Heights area; and

THAT Council for the City of Brampton now strongly opposes the Highway 413 Project in its entirety; and

THAT this resolution be circulated to the Premier of Ontario, The Minister of Transportation, the Region of Peel, the Town of Caledon, the Town of Halton Hills and the Region of Halton.

Moved by: Regional Councillor Santos
Second by: Mayor Brown


Be it resolved that the City of Brampton endorse the motion below for consideration at the FCM Board

Whereas the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) passed a resolution in June 2021 that hate speech has no place in an inclusive society and resolved that FCM work with all levels of government in addressing the root causes of hate speech; and

Whereas Canada has seen dramatic increases in hate-motivated incidents and hate crimes against Asian, Black, Indigenous, Jewish, Sikh, and Muslim Canadians; and

Whereas anti-Muslim hate has led to more Muslims being killed in targeted hate attacks in Canada than any other G-7 country in the past 5 years because of Islamophobia, including lethal attacks in Quebec City, Toronto, and London, as well as hate-motivated incidents in municipalities across Canada in 2021; and

Whereas municipal governments such as Brampton and St. Catharines have responded by endorsing the municipal recommendations to address Islamophobia advanced by the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM); and

Whereas FCM has established a standing committee on anti-racism and equity to help guide municipalities with their respective anti-racism and equity work nationally; 

Therefore be it resolved: 

1)    that FCM condemns hate and racism in all its forms, including Islamophobia; 

2)    FCM endorses the municipal recommendations to address Islamophobia advanced by the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM);

3)    FCM recommends that members also endorse the NCCM’s recommendations within one calendar year; and

4)    FCM calls on the federal government to consult municipalities in the process of establishing an Office of the Special Representative to address Islamophobia.
