<p><strong>Announcements</strong></p>
<p>The Chair acknowledged that the Board of Health was meeting on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Chair also acknowledged that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Chair further acknowledged that not all people came to these lands as migrants and settlers, and specifically acknowledged those who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. In support of the City of Toronto's ongoing efforts to confront anti-Black racism, the Chair paid tribute to those ancestors of African, Caribbean and Black origin and descent.</p>

<p>Where the Directors of the Board of Health listed in the attendance for this meeting participated remotely, they were counted for quorum as permitted by Section 189(4.2) of the City of Toronto Act, 2006, and the Board's Procedures, as amended.</p>

Toronto Population Health Status Indicators Update
2026.HL30.5
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>This report responds to direction from the Board of Health to review the feasibility of adding an Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) indicator to the Population Health Status Indicators (PHSI) dashboard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Intimate Partner Violence is a significant societal issue that has direct and ongoing impacts on victims, survivors, and families, and on overall community safety in Toronto. Intimate Partner Violence data that is accessible and publicly shared to understand its impacts can inform prevention efforts and support evidence-based decision making.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Toronto Public Health (TPH) reports on a series of Population Health Status Indicators to support its mission to reduce health inequities, improve population health and to meet the requirements of the Ontario Public Health Standards. Population Health Status Indicators summarize data used to measure health outcomes and behaviours at a population level.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In fall 2025, the Toronto Police Service released an interactive and publicly accessible dashboard with Intimate Partner Violence and family violence data. The Toronto Police Service's <a href="https://data.torontopolice.on.ca/pages/0b1ac7fc90e44497b6602edd610cd49f">Intimate Partner and Family Violence dashboard</a> visualizes trends and distributions across time and geography.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Canada-wide research indicates that the majority of people who had experienced Intimate Partner Violence did not report it to the police[1], which means that police-reported data underestimate the true prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence. Toronto Public Health reviewed other possible data sets and found the data limited and unsuitable for the Population Health Status Indicators dashboard. The newly launched Toronto Police Service dashboard provides the best available Toronto-specific Intimate Partner Violence data available at this time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Population Health Status Indicators dashboard is not intended to replicate data already available through other City of Toronto resources. To support immediate and seamless access to the Toronto Police Service dashboard, the Population Health Status Indicators dashboard’s injury section includes a reference and direct link to the Toronto Police Service's Intimate Partner and Family Violence dashboard.<br /> <br />[1] Conroy, S. 2021.

Formal Request for a Comprehensive Review of Toronto Public Health’s Role and Responsibilities in Regulating Indoor Air Quality
2026.HL30.10
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>Over the past few years, Toronto has experienced a spike in extreme heat events and smoke from wildfires, causing our city's residents to become increasingly concerned about the impact of indoor air quality (IAQ) and on health outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic also focused attention on indoor air quality with regard to preventing the spread of airborne diseases.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the Board of Health, we have increasingly heard deputations from concerned residents seeking reassurance that Toronto Public Health is aware of indoor air quality best practices and is actively taking steps to ensure that this aspect of public health is being managed and regulated as best as possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As Chair of the Board of Health I am now adding my voice to theirs, and I invite you to join me in formally requesting a comprehensive review of existing indoor air quality guidance and responsibilities by our Medical Officer of Health in order to provide greater clarity around our Board's role, capabilities, and best practices for taking action on indoor air quality.</p>
<p>This meeting of the Board of Health was conducted with members participating in person and remotely.</p>
