Origin
Summary
In December 2015, with approval of CD8.6 "Comprehensive Review of the state of the Community-Based Sector," City Council directed staff to establish and work with an advisory panel of community sector leaders on a comprehensive review of issues affecting the community-based, non-profit/voluntary sector in Toronto. This report is an update on work completed to clarify the scope and focus of the review project. Because the proposed focus of the project goes beyond the mandate originally identified, this report seeks Council direction to proceed.
The report proposes an interactive stakeholder consultation process, conducted in collaboration with a Community Advisory Table, to define a formal "whole of government" policy direction and policy framework to guide and modernize the City’s relationship with the non-profit/voluntary sector.
An explanation and justification for the proposed direction of the project is provided, based on best practices and research studies from Canadian and international jurisdictions. Key considerations and preconditions that should be met prior to or during the course of conducting the project are identified.
