    Moved byRegional Councillor Fortini

    Whereas, Brampton Civic Hospital, which opened in 2007, is home to one of Canada’s busiest emergency rooms and serves as the only main full-service facility for the City of Brampton’s approximately 650,000 residents;

    And Whereas, Brampton Civic Hospital has long been plagued with issues of overcrowding and excessive wait times;

    And Whereas, in 2020, Brampton City Council voted to declare a health-care emergency in the community;

    And Whereas, there is now a very urgent need for an additional full-service Hospital in Brampton to help serve the City's aging community needs for continuing complex care and rehabilitation in emergency and intensive care units;

    And Whereas, the City of Brampton has long been a major stakeholder in advocating for a new full-service Hospital in Brampton on behalf of Brampton’s residents;

    And Whereas, the Province of Ontario has now recently made a budget commitment to help fund a new full-service Hospital in Brampton along with other stakeholders;

    And Whereas, the City of Brampton will be required to pledge and commit to contributing 10% of the total construction costs of the proposed new full-service Hospital in Brampton;

    And Whereas, in 2012, the City of Brampton implemented a special health care levy over a six year period to help fund 10% of the construction costs of the current Brampton Civic Hospital and redevelopment of Peel Memorial Hospital as part of the Provincial cost-sharing model;

    And Whereas, there is an estimated $20 million surplus available from the 2012 special health care levy based on lower than anticipated construction costs for the Brampton Civic Hospital and the Peel Memorial Hospital redevelopment project;  

    And Whereas, a special healthcare levy is the fastest and fairest way to leverage Provincial funding for the construction of the new Brampton Hospital that will serve the health care needs of all Brampton residents, their families and loved ones;

    Therefore, be it resolved as follows:

    That the City of Brampton commits to a 10% local share in collaboration with the Region of Peel; 

    And further, that the estimated $20 million surplus available from the 2012 special health care levy be applied towards the levy to help offset the cost burden to taxpayers;

    And further, that staff be directed to bring forward as part of 2022 budget discussions other options for funding the City of Brampton’s required 10% contribution including the sale of surplus land as ratified by Council, re-deployment of unused Capital budgets and Reserves, and spreading the new levy over a longer time period;

Under Item 7.1, Council discussion took place with respect to Recommendation PDC175-2021.  For the purpose of the minutes, this discussion is outlined below.

Mr. Fay confirmed that the recommendation that carried at Committee (PDC175-2021) was just to receive the staff report and other related items.  He also noted that the motion considered by Committee to implement the Supportive Housing by-laws lost on a tie vote.

A procedural motion, moved by City Councillor Williams and seconded by City Councillor Bowman, was introduced for the purpose of reintroduction of Recommendation PDC175-2021 to provide for adoption of the recommendations in the staff report considered by Committee.

In response to questions from Council, staff outlined the proposed Type 1 supportive housing policies and related by-laws that were subject to the staff report, provided information on the proposed policies and by-laws, and outlined differences in the regulations and requirements for Type 1 versus Type 2 supportive housing residences.

Council expressed the need to ensure appropriate separation distances for Type 2 supportive housing residences.  Staff confirmed that an amendment to the staff recommendations would be required for this purpose.  

With the assistance of staff, an amendment was proposed and displayed to add the following to Clause 4 “amended to provide separation distances with regard to Type 2 group homes such as to retain as currently exists (610 m), and subsequently be brought forward for Council consideration,” after “Registration By-Law attached hereto as Appendix 4 be”.

A recorded vote was taken on Recommendation PDC175-2021, as amended, with the results as follows:

Yea (11): Regional Councillor Dhillon, City Councillor Singh, Regional Councillor Fortini, City Councillor Williams, Regional Councillor Medeiros, City Councillor Bowman, Regional Councillor Palleschi, City Councillor Whillans, Regional Councillor Vicente, Regional Councillor Santos, and Mayor Brown

    BTAC013-2021

    Whereas Peel District School Board (PDSB) has a Regional Learning Choice program with specialty schools, that does not offer transportation to students;

    Whereas students attending those schools often have to be driven to them, or parents need to spend thousands of dollars a year for private busing;

    Whereas often summer school is needed most by marginalized students, and PDSB does not provide transportation to them;

    Whereas switching schools often adversely impacts a student’s education, yet no transportation is provided for them;

    Whereas the lack of transportation support can constitute a significant equity barrier for marginalized students;

    Whereas transit passes would empower students with greater freedom and access to things like sports programs, libraries, and community centres, which particularly benefits all students, particularly marginalized students;
    Whereas 70 per cent of households in Brampton contain children;
    Whereas if students get used to taking transit to school, they are more likely to persist taking transit after graduation;

    Therefore it is the opinion of the Transit Advisory Committee that:

    1. The City of Brampton investigate the feasibility of a collaboration, including full cost implications, with Peel District School Board, other relevant school boards, and the Region of Peel to provide transit passes to students in relevant categories, especially high school students; and

    2. If feasible, a pilot begin for the 2022-2023 year, with pilot schools being Turner Fenton Secondary School and Central Peel Secondary School.

    BTAC014-2021

    That the Brampton Transit Advisory Committee do now adjourn to meet again on Monday, February 7, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. or at the call of the Chair.
