Welcome to the City of Toronto website

The Core Service Review identified what services the City should be delivering. These include services the City must legally provide and those the City should provide as a government. The review considered what it takes to meet the needs of Torontonians, what is important to people on a day-to-day basis, and what it takes to run the largest city government in Canada.

13,000 people provided their input, which was consolidated, analyzed and considered for the City Manager's reports on the Core Service Review, which you can find below.

City Manager's Final Report on the Core Service Review

On September 19, 2011, the Executive Committee held a special meeting to consider the City Manager's Final Report on the Core Service Review. The purpose of this report was to make recommendations to the Executive Committee for actions related to the opportunities identified by KPMG LLP (KPMG) during the Core Service Review process. The report also considered the input gathered through the public consultation held in May and June 2011. This report was considered by City Council at a special meeting held on September 26, 2011.
