A new measure is being used to rank Toronto's neighbourhoods – the "neighbourhood equity score"
which combines ratings for economic opportunity
participation in decision-making and physical surroundings
change the way Toronto's 140 neighbourhoods are evaluated by city staff when they decide where to direct services
The new rankings are likely to set off a lively debate about the city's role in providing social services
and what areas of the city are most deserving of extra funding and attention – all against the backdrop of the fall civic election The new measures were developed in conjunction with researchers at St
Michael's Hospital's Centre for Research on Inner City Health and are adapted from work done by the World Health Organization

The approved Woodbine casino expansion has the support of local councillors
Expanded gaming and a future entertainment complex at Woodbine Racetrack is being touted by local advocates for its potential to fight poverty
and fund much-needed investment in lower-income Toronto neighbourhoods
After an all-day debate July 9 that focused on job creation — and the ugly underbelly of gambling — Toronto City Council voted 25-19 to support expanded gambling and future development at Woodbine
has proposed increasing the number of slot machines to 5,000
which will need to comply with a long list of council-imposed conditions
Etobicoke North Ward 1 Councillor Vince Crisanti
headed the Woodbine file for Mayor John Tory
“It marks a new era for Rexdale,” Crisanti said of last week’s council decision
“It’s a turning point to attract the kind of development that will create those jobs that will open doors to tremendous opportunities
and create a premiere destination of international renown.”
Crisanti stressed council’s endorsement includes conditions that Woodbine Entertainment Group
share its five-year plan and that it include an integrated entertainment complex and retail
“I know OLG and Woodbine Entertainment Group are absolutely interested in the development side of it,” Crisanti said
that could be an entertainment complex of 4,000 to 5,000 seats that might come together with a five-star hotel
“We’re not just interested in an expanded casino
confirmed council’s decision is a boost for the horse racing industry
and will act as a catalyst for development
That development would be a significant entertainment complex
“Using the integrated entertainment complex as a catalyst and leveraging the already existing equine uses
our vision is for the Woodbine Racetrack site to become a Toronto destination for one-of-a-kind recreation and live entertainment,” Lawson wrote in a July 6 letter to city council
“A hub of indoor and outdoor events and festivities for all ages
as well as best-in-class restaurants and food experiences
Woodbine will become both a local gathering place and draw visitors all over the GTA and beyond.”
The broader entertainment complex cited in the deal with Woodbine
said he expects continued low levels of crime with Woodbine’s expansion
“Given the partnerships we have with Woodbine Entertainment on the corporate side
and with our colleagues who work with the OPP there
we feel very confident Woodbine will maintain a very low level of any significant violence at all,” Taverner said
“There is probably more violence at shopping malls than at a place that attracts six-million people a year
Council’s decision further includes two proposals to create stable
sustainable jobs and much-needed supports for lower-income neighbourhoods
including those in north Etobicoke near Woodbine Racetrack at Hwy
Employment at a future Woodbine casino and entertainment complex would be stable
the result of a groundbreaking labour peace agreement
City council endorsed Councillor Ana Bailao’s motion that the agreement compels whoever takes on the Woodbine project to enter into negotiations with hospitality-sector unions
The deal requests OLG and Woodbine “strive” to hire five per cent of people on social assistance who live in the area
Etobicoke North Ward 2 Councillor Rob Ford called expanded gaming at Woodbine “an opportunity that the City of Toronto cannot afford to pass up,” in a letter last month to the mayor’s executive committee
and millions of dollars in non-tax revenue that the City can use to help improve services across the City.”
OLG reported 60 per cent of Ontario casino jobs are full-time
based on a definition of more than 24 hours a week
indicated a June report from the city’s acting city manager
housekeepers and security guards earn between $17 and $21 an hour
compared with an average 28 per cent at other OLG-operated sites
Woodbine’s approximately 100 management staff earn between $48,000 and $124,000
a north Etobicoke-based non-profit organization committed to the appropriate training and gainful employment of youth
“Any kind of training we provide clients is a pathway to sustainable employment,” Boon explained of MicroSkills’ work
It’s getting a job with career potential that allows them a sustainable life to provide for their families with appropriate shelter
“If that’s the (Woodbine) plan going forward
The Woodbine casino expansion and future development “will only help us to fulfill our mandate,” Boon said
Toronto will also explore ways to invest all proceeds of the city’s revenues generated by the additional Woodbine gaming into a community benefits fund
The fund could potentially reach $12 million to $15 million annually
It would be allocated for capital or operating projects “aimed at improving the quality of life for local community members” in city-identified Neighbourhood Improvement Areas across Toronto
including the north Etobicoke neighbourhoods of Mount Olive-Silverstone-Jamestown; Thistletown-Beaumond Heights; Elms-Old Rexdale
