Dear Residents,

A few years ago the Catholic School Board sold St Joe's School to Urbancorp, a developer who specializes in infill housing.  Urbancorp also bought two other local schools - St. Anne’s and Corpus Christi for infill townhouses.

Just last week, I was informed that the proposal is ready to come before Toronto East York Community Council for the first time on April 21st. No

The Leslieville / Riverdale Tree Project supports neighbourhood level action to improve air quality and increase community adaptability to the effects of climate change. This initiative supports neighbours to improve the local tree canopy as a demonstrated means of achieving these goals. Community volunteers from diverse neighbourhoods in the catchment area are trained and supported to engage neighbours around tree planting and preservation at the local level.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your strong support to try and keep Jimmie Simpson as a Priority Community Centre with free recreation for everyone. Over 500 Jimmie Simpson Centre users signed the petition – the most signatures of any priority centre. The petition was submitted to the special budget meeting of City Council.

The following motion to Council lost by only 2 votes:

The Toronto Transit Commission has put out a new communication regarding the Ashbridges Bay LRV site.

"On February 2, 2011, the Commission authorized award of the contract for site preparation,  which includes the removal  of 385, 000 cubic metres of soil  from the site. This work will begin in April and take approximately twelve months. Additional details on the project are available on the project website at http://www.toronto.ca/involved/projects/lrv/.

The warm weather is fast-approaching and snow banks are melting to reveal a winter’s worth of debris and litter. This is our opportunity to get involved and help keep Toronto clean.

The City’s annual spring clean-up events are a great way to get together with friends, neighbours and co-workers to reduce everyday litter. We have a shared responsibility to keep our communities green. What better way to turn your ideas into action than to get involved and reduce litter.
