Public Meeting

 

Land Acknowledgement

 

The City of Oshawa is situated on lands within the traditional and treaty territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Anishinaabeg and the signatories of the Williams Treaties, which include the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, Curve Lake, Hiawatha and Alderville First Nations, and the Chippewas of Georgina Island, Rama and Beausoleil First Nations.


We are grateful for the Anishinaabeg who have cared for the land and waters within this territory since time immemorial.


We recognize that Oshawa is steeped in rich Indigenous history and is now present day home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. We express gratitude for this diverse group of Indigenous Peoples who continue to care for the land and shape and strengthen our community.


As a municipality, we are committed to understanding the truth of our shared history, acknowledging our role in addressing the negative impacts that colonization continues to have on Indigenous Peoples, developing reciprocal relationships, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation.


We are all Treaty people.

  • Recommendation

    That the Community and Operations Services Committee recommend to City Council:

    Whereas correspondence was received on October 30, 2025, from the Durham District School Board requesting five (5) on-street parking permits along Colborne Street East and Ontario Street for Mary Street Public School staff; and,

    Whereas Mary Street Public School, located at 110 Mary Street North, is bordered by twenty-seven (27) on-street parking spaces, including ten (10) on Ontario Street and seventeen (17) on Colborne Street East; and,

    Whereas Mary Street Public School has stated that they have insufficient parking spaces within their parking lot to accommodate their staff; and,

    Whereas Colborne Street East and Ontario Street currently offer hourly on-street parking at an hourly rate of $1.25, with a maximum time limit of 2 hours; and,

    Whereas five (5) on-street parking permits would generate approximately $365 per month in accordance with the rates pursuant to the City’s Fees and Charges By-law 109-2024; and,

    Whereas licencing five (5) on-street parking spaces will increase the forecasted long-term utilization percentage for on-street parking as reported in CO-24-60 dated December 4, 2024, from 49% to 50%,

    Therefore be it resolved that the Community and Operations Services Committee select one of the following two options:

    Or

    Option 2:

    That based on Item CO-25-55 dated December 8, 2025:

    1. That the request from the Durham District School Board received on October 30, 2025 to enter into a licence agreement for five (5) on-street parking spaces near the Mary Street Public School be approved, increasing the forecasted 2034 Utilization from 49% to 50% of the 85% critical threshold; and,
    2. The staff be authorized to amend Schedule VII of the Traffic and Parking By-law 79-1999, as amended, to add on-street permit parking, in combination with hourly parking, on Colborne Street East between Simcoe Street North and Mary Street North, and on Ontario Street between William Street East and Colborne Street East; and,
    3. That the City of Oshawa enter into a five (5) year agreement with the Durham District School Board for five (5) parking permits in the City’s On-Street Parking System for the term of the Agreement at the monthly rate applicable for the spaces in accordance with the City’s Fees and Charges By-law 109-2024, as amended; and ,
    4. That the Commissioner, Community and Operations Services Department, be authorized to execute the licence agreement in a final form and content satisfactory to the Commissioner, Community and Operations Services Department, the Commissioner, Corporate and Finance Services Department and the City Solicitor.
