Councillor Egerton Boyce brought forward a notice of motion for an Interim Control By-law (ICBL). This motion called on city staff to prepare an ICBL that would temporarily prohibit the approval or establishment of new digital infrastructure facilities, including data centers, citywide for up to one year. The motion was deferred in a narrow 6-5 recorded vote during council’s meeting on Wednesday.
