  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 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

  c. John Cutruzzola, Artist

  Carried

• Item 13.3 was brought forward and dealt with at this time.

  In response to questions from Council, staff provided information on the following:

  • City’s investment in the arts and culture community
  • confirmation that currently there is no annual operating budget for arts and culture
  • value of partnering with operating departments on public art projects, for example, the recent mural on Fire Station 211
  • information included in the survey of residents regarding public art on the noise wall
  • funding allocation and proposed locations for public art on the Williams Parkway noise wall
  • other amenities planned for the noise wall, including urban landscaping and active transportation along the noise wall
  • approximate life span of noise walls 

  The following motion, moved by Regional Councillor Santos and subsequently seconded by Regional Councillor Palleschi, was introduced:

  That the report titled: Recommendation report – Colour change for Williams Parkway noise wall (East of North Park Drive to West of Harridine Road) – Wards 1, 5 & 7 (eSCRIBE Item number 2021-1143, Capital Works File Nos. 08-3302-211), to the Council Meeting of January 26, 2022, be referred to staff with a request that they report back to Council with a plan for the five kilometre noise wall project that identifies: locations for urban landscape and trees, public art, and potential themes and timelines for implementation, and other options. 

  Council consideration included review of the results of a recent survey of residents with respect to public art on the noise wall, and an indication that not all residents surveyed chose public art for the noise wall.

  An amendment to the proposed motion was introduced by City Councillor Williams, to strike out “five kilometre”, to allocate the $300,000 budget to other areas of the City, and to request that staff report back on other areas that are appropriate for public art.

  Councillor Santos, as mover of the motion, did not accept the amendment as “friendly”, but suggested that additional wording could be added to the motion, as follows: “and that staff bring forward other ideas related to public art installations in Brampton”.

  Peter Fay, City Clerk, noted that what is before Council is the specific noise wall on Williams Parkway.  He indicated that if Council wanted to have a broader discussion on public art in the City, an item would have to be added to the agenda for this purpose.

  Mr. Fay also noted that if the referral motion does not carry, then it would be appropriate for Councillor Williams to introduce her motion for consideration.

  Further Council discussion took place on the referral motion and included:

  • potential funding for public art from other levels of government
  • funding provided to ACCIDA and a suggestion that some of these funds be used to have a third party provide design options for public art and urban landscaping for the noise wall
  • varying opinions on what constitutes public art
  • suggestion about collaboration on this project between the City and school boards, the Toronto Region Conservation Authority, and Credit Valley Conservation 
  • suggestions for the urban landscaping element of the project, and the need for “thinking outside the box” to create landscaping that could also be public art
  • benefits of urban landscaping in reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions

  An amendment to the referral motion was moved by City Councillor Williams and subsequently seconded by Regional Councillor Fortini, to strike out “public art”.

  A recorded vote was taken on the amendment, with the results as follows:

  Yea (7): Regional Councillor Dhillon, Regional Councillor Fortini, City Councillor Williams, Regional Councillor Medeiros, City Councillor Bowman, City Councillor Whillans, and Regional Councillor Palleschi

  Nay (4): City Councillor Singh, Regional Councillor Vicente, Regional Councillor Santos, and Mayor Brown

Relocation of the house should include:

i. Continued visibility from Creditview Road and George Brown Drive; development should not be permitted that would obstruct the view of Edwin Trimble House.

ii. Any alterations to the Edwin Trimble House should be limited to the rear of the structure.

iii. Setbacks should be maintained that preserve the aesthetic of the residence.

iv. New construction adjacent to the Edwin Trimble House should not exceed the current elevation of the extant structure.

v. The establishment of a heritage easement should be discussed with the City of Brampton to ensure the ongoing retention of Edwin Trimble House.

vi. Designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act should be considered.

vii. Edwin Trimble house shall be subject to structural assessment by a qualified structural engineer familiar with heritage structures

viii. Prior to undertaking any action, a conservation and adaptive reuse plan should be developed.

b. In addition to the retention of Edwin Trimble House, development of the Subject Property should attempt to retain the mature pine trees that delineate the northeast limit of the property. These trees contribute to the Creditview Road Corridor CHL. If possible, Edwin Trimble House and the pine trees should be maintained together on a single lot.

Whereas a spokesperson for the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing has stated, “it is our expectation that municipalities have done their due diligence and have conducted proper consultation in their communities before any request for an MZO comes to the Minister for consideration”,

Whereas City of Brampton Council endorsed the Brampton 2040 Vision document in May of 2018 and in January 2020, approved an extensive community engagement strategy to assist in building the 2040 Plan,

Whereas Brampton City Council has passed motions of support for submissions of seven Ministerial Zoning Orders (MZOs) to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing without first providing the substantive opportunity for public consultation

Whereas it is the understanding of the Brampton Environment Advisory Committee (BEAC) that, if these MZOs are approved by the Minister, it effectively removes environmental protections related to the affected land, some of which contain substantial natural capital, environmentally sensitive areas, habitat for endangered species, and flood management issues,

Whereas In 2018 City of Brampton Council created the Brampton Environment Advisory Committee with the purpose to, “engage the community to advance the goals and actions of the City’s Grow Green Environmental Master Plan as well as to advise City Council on environmental planning policy and sustainability matters to promote the protection, enhancement, and management of the City’s natural and built environment”,

Therefore, be it resolved that, it is the position of the Environment Advisory Committee that:

• City Council discontinues supporting the use of Ministerial Zoning Orders as a planning tool until the impact of these orders is better understood in relation to environmental protection and the ability of the City to fulfill the 2040 Vision and meet its carbon reduction targets or;
• In the event City Council decides to continue using MZOs as a planning option then BEAC recommends the City create a procedural bylaw for MZOs mandating the preparation of a staff report accompanying each MZO request, including an analysis of servicing costs, an environment impact assessment of the proposal, as well as two public meetings, all to be completed before Council votes on whether to send the MZO to the Province or not.
