Last year Toronto City Council approved a 5 Yr Capital plan of $11 billion. This includes capital projects the City will undertake to develop and maintain City assets like transit, road, bridges, community centers and libraries.
Interesting enough last year our public Toronto Public Library also received $3M boost from Federal government for renovations which they are currently using to renovate and super size libraries across the city. You may have noticed these new libraries have started to offer programs that are usually offered by a community center, like youth programs, community meetings etc. This blurs the line between a community center and a library and it leaves one to wonder why we are paying for the same programs twice.
