Prior to the start of the 2018-2022 term of City Council, general repairs were made to the Council Chamber to ensure it meets accessibility requirements and for general maintenance and upkeep. This work was completed as part of the City of Toronto’s state of good repair program, and not as a result of the change in the number of City Councillors.
The maintenance work included:
To accommodate the size of Council, functional pieces including signage, microphones, chairs and the voting system were removed from vacant seats. No material costs have been incurred due to the change to 25 councillors.
Any plans for future renovations of the Council Chamber will be at the direction of City Council.
