<p> </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> </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: A Tool to Advance Health Equity

Y

Y

<p>Toronto Public Health is responsible for <a href="https://files.ontario.ca/moh-population-health-assessment-surveillance-protocol-2018-en.pdf">assessing and reporting on the health status of the city's population</a> as mandated under the Ontario Public Health Standards. This information can be used by Toronto Public Health, other City of Toronto divisions, health care partners, social service agencies, and other public and private sector organizations to identify targeted interventions to improve health outcomes for residents. In 2024, Toronto Public Health released its <a href="https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/accountability-operations-customer-service/long-term-vision-plans-and-strategies/toronto-public-health-strategic-plan/">Strategic Plan 2024-2028</a>, which included a priority to "Advocate to advance health equity".</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report provides an update on the <a href="https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/health-wellness-care/health-inspections-monitoring/population-health-status-indicators/">Population Health Status Indicators (PHSI) dashboard</a>, which is an initiative to provide population health information to advance health equity. Identification of health inequities requires characterization of patterns and trends in disaggregated population-level data. The Population Health Status Indicators dashboard was originally launched in 2019 and was refreshed and updated in 2024. The dashboard currently includes over 100 indicators across seven public health topics. Trends are shown over time, by geography and by available socio-demographic characteristics that can include age, sex, ethno-racial identity, and income groupings. These indicators can help Toronto Public Health and partners identify, monitor and respond to health and social inequities.</p>

Downtown Community Outreach Response and Engagement (CORE) Program
2025.HL26.4
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>In 2024, Toronto Public Health and the Toronto Police Service launched the Downtown Community Outreach Response and Engagement (CORE) program as a one-year pilot to address complex health and social service needs among individuals experiencing homelessness, and challenges with mental health and substance use in the Yonge-Dundas (Sankofa Square) area. The program pairs public health nurses with police constables to deliver integrated, low-barrier, mobile outreach and case management services.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The program aims to connect individuals with health, social, and wraparound services, including harm reduction interventions, through voluntary, trauma-informed, client-centered engagement. The model aligns with the City’s Our Health, Our City Strategy, advances the City’s SafeTO Community Safety and Well-Being Plan, and applies a public health lens to community safety and well-being.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report provides an overview of the program and seeks City Council authority to continue its implementation. Toronto Public Health will provide an update on the program, including the results of an evaluation, to the Board of Health upon completion of the pilot period in the first quarter of 2026 and seek the Board of Health’s direction on the future of the program beyond the pilot year.</p>

Planning for Climate Change Monitoring to Understand Health Impacts and Support Resilience in Toronto
2025.HL26.5
Y
Y
Y
Y
<p>In November 2023, the Board of Health adopted Item 2023.HL8.3 <a href="https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2023.HL8.3">Public Health Impacts of Climate Change in Toronto: A Path Forward for Responding to the Climate Crisis</a>, re-establishing a commitment to leadership and collaboration on climate change and health actions that reduce health inequities. The Board of Health also recommended that the Medical Officer of Health report back in 2025 on progress on a surveillance framework, climate change health indicators, and collaboration efforts. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The most recent <a href="https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/949f-TorontosCurrentandFutureClimate-REPORT-Final.pdf">Toronto climate projections</a> reinforce the need for a systematic way to track the health impacts of the increasing heat, variable precipitation and unpredictable weather that will affect health. Timely monitoring and surveillance of impacts on health and wellbeing, including from climate change, are a strategic priority action for Toronto Public Health (TPH). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This report describes Toronto Public Health’s approach to creating a climate change-related health impact surveillance framework, which will be developed over the next several years. The first phase of this work will create a publicly accessible dashboard that is expected to launch in spring 2026. The dashboard will be updated annually and will share information related to the health impacts of climate change, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Heat related illnesses</li>
<li>Vector borne diseases from ticks and mosquitoes</li>
<li>Injuries following severe weather</li>
<li>Health impacts of poor air quality</li>
<li>Impacts from UV radiation</li>
<li>Food-borne diseases; and</li>
<li>Water quality implications.</li>

<p>Conference Highlights:</p>
<p><br />1. St. Lawrence Market Walking Tour – Explored Toronto’s food history and its connections to<br />public health regulation and safety.</p>
<p><br />2. Keynote by Marc Forgette – Founder of Makatew Workshops, Marc led a compelling<br />session rooted in Indigenous teachings, including the hands-on weaving of Dream<br />Catchers.</p>
<p><br />3. Topical Sessions on Public Health Priorities:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">• Partnering with Ontario Health and Public Health Ontario<br />• Indigenous engagement and public health<br />• Navigating Ontario’s evolving policy landscape<br />• Provincial update from Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Kieran Moore</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>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>
