WHEREAS, Dan Leckie, who served with distinction as Toronto City Councillor and
Toronto School Board Trustee, passed away on May 29, 1998.
Serving as a Toronto School Trustee from 1972 to 1978, Dan chaired the
Board of Education in 1977. He initiated movement at the School Board to
better serve Toronto s diverse communities with parent councils, heritage
language programmes, and English as a second language initiatives,
including holding classes in downtown factories. He introduced
multi-culturalism and de-streaming to give children from low-income
families a better chance, and he made vocational schools co-ed.
In these years, Dan also began his long association with the Toronto Board
of Health, bringing to fruition such ground-breaking initiatives as the
Health Advocacy Unit, the Healthy City Programme and Toronto s AIDS Defence
Plan. As senior policy staff to former Mayor John Sewell and Councillor
Jack Layton for many years, Dan was known to many City Hall staff for the
respect which he always showed for their work, and by Councillors for his
keen intellect and broad innovative vision.
Dan returned to elected public service in 1994 as City Councillor for
Ward 5. At the City, Dan provided true leadership in developing many
widely celebrated health and environmental initiatives, especially
surrounding climate change and cancer prevention.
Dan was the catalyst for numerous innovative programmes which continue to
be emulated and celebrated today: the Healthy City Programme, the Toronto
Atmospheric Fund, the Food Policy Council, the Toronto Bay Initiative, the
Better Buildings Partnership, the Bring Back the Don Task Force. Dan
chaired the Toronto City Cycling Committee and the Gardiner-Lakeshore Task
Force.
Dan was keenly motivated to work for environmental change worldwide. He
pursued that task with enthusiasm in the last months of his life through
the International Council on Local Environmental Initiatives, where he was
a policy expert on the crisis of global climate change. He made
presentations at the United Nations summit at Kyoto, Japan and traveled to
the Philippines and Britain to develop energy efficiency programmes and
solar energy projects.
AND WHEREAS Councillor Leckie served his constituents with energy and commitment
second to none; and was a model of respectful and dignified collegiality
throughout his public career;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Toronto City Council join with the many
Torontonians in our many communities as we extend sincere condolences to Dan s
family, to his mother Helen, his beloved wife Niki, and his children Patrick,
Tina, Bram and Luke, his brothers Jim and Steve and his sisters Judy and June;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Clerk be directed to convey, on behalf of
the Members of City Council, this expression of sincere sympathy to the members of
the Leckie family;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Council extend its regular lunch recess until the
hour of 2:45 p.m. in order to permit Members of Council to attend a special
ceremony at Harbourfront today which has been organized by friends and family to
celebrate his life.

following manner:

option, to provide notices to landlords and tenants of residential
complexes containing less than seven units;
(b) that the threshold for tax decreases which would cause an automatic
rent decrease be reduced from the proposed amount of 5 percent to 2
½ percent;

errors, at least to the same extent that the Tribunal and Province
are protected;

the City to rescind or amend notices where an error has occurred;
(e) that the amounts which are to be included for the purposes of
determining whether or not a decrease has occurred, are clearly set
out;
(f) that for the purposes of these regulations, the definition of a
residential complex be similar to the definition of assessment
portions as included in the Ministry of Finance assessment roll;
(g) that reductions in municipal property tax resulting from successful
assessment complaints or appeals, either be expressly excluded from
the City s duty to issue notices, or that the City s duties in such
cases be clearly set out;
(h) that the City be consulted prior to finalizing the notice for
automatic rent reductions; and
(i) that the Landlord be legally required to post notice of all tax
decreases and increases and that the notice be posted for not less
than 120 days before the increase or decrease comes into effect;
(2) in the case of assessment appeals and complaints, that the Province be
requested to ensure that tenants are made aware of any appeals filed, and
that, where a decision is made to reduce the assessment retroactively, both
current and former tenants are able to recoup any amounts of rent which may
be owing to them as a result of the tax decrease; and that Council also
request that the Province ensure rents are retroactively adjusted;
(3) the Province be requested to make available technical assistance to the
municipality in preparing the notices, as required; and

WHEREAS the two mergers would eliminate up to 65,000 jobs, many of them in

in Canada; and

small businesses (those with business credit under $250,000), dropped from $4.11
billion in 1995 to $2.86 billion in 1996 (latest available figures); and
WHEREAS these problems reflect a lack of accountability by banks to local
communities; and

for 20 years to ensure that U.S. financial institutions lend to small businesses
and help meet other local needs, while remaining profitable; and

Sector is reviewing financial institution legislation, with a report due in
September; and

accountability requirements for financial institutions as expressed in the 1997

Quebecois parties, and by a national coalition of over 70 groups, including the
Toronto Small Business Support Organization, the Fort York Small Business
Association, and the Social Planning Council;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Toronto City Council urges the federal
government to enact legislation to ensure that Canadian financial institutions
remain accountable to consumer, small business and community interests, for
example:
(1) require banks to disclose the number of loan applications, as well as
approvals and rejections, categorized by size of loan, size, type and
location of business and gender of the business owner, to track the demand
for capital and whether banks are meeting the demand;
(2) require banks to disclose reasons for rejections, loan defaults, loan
losses and the number of called loans, to track the risk of lending to
different sectors, communities and regions; and
(3) require other deposit-taking financial institutions to collect and disclose
similar statistics to ensure a level playing field;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Toronto City Council urges the federal government
to also enact requirements to determine how well financial institutions are
serving consumers by requiring each institution to disclose:
(1) the number of complaints received each year, and the rate of resolving
complaints;
(2) the number of lawsuits initiated by customers against the institution, and
the number won, lost or settled;
(3) whether the banks are providing access to basic banking services for all

(4) the location of branches opened or closed;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Toronto City Council urge the Federal government
to require the Superintendent of Financial Institutions to evaluate the above data
annually and grade each financial institution's performance. The institution would
receive a poor grade if the evaluation reveals, for example, that the institution
arbitrarily rejects certain types of loan applicants, maintains excessive barriers
to access to basic banking services, or has a high rate of complaints or
successful lawsuits against the institution;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Toronto City Council support establishment of
incentives for financial institutions to encourage them to improve their
performance, including:
(1) as Ontario has done, federal and provincial governments should consider
imposing a surtax on financial institutions, combined with a tax credit
that could be applied to the surtax based on the institution's performance
in meeting community needs;
(2) as Ontario has done, governments should not contract out business to
financial institutions that fail to serve community needs;
(3) as in the U.S., the federal government should deny applications to expand
or merge by financial institutions with a failing grade;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT Toronto City Council urges the federal government
to require banks and other financial institutions to:
(1) fund a truly independent ombudsman with the power to make binding rulings;
(2) guarantee everyone living in Canada an account with a deposit-taking
financial institution, including the option or a low-cost, no-frills
account, and protection from arbitrary and excessive holding of cheques;
and
(3) facilitate the startup of a Financial Consumer Organization (FCO) by
enclosing the FCO's flyer periodically in their customer mailings.
