Leslieville is the final stop for Daily Bread ‘Gratitude Bag’ summer food drive.
Until we can create a fairer society where no one is hungry, food banks serve a critical role in ensuring some of our friends and neighbours eat. So many Riverdale residents donate to food banks at holiday time. This is a special summer food drive to help those families that rely on food banks year round.
With the recent tragic cycling deaths in Toronto, it is widely recognized that more safe cycling connections are needed. Following the public consultation on contraflow bike lanes at this year’s Pocket Community Association Annual General Meeting, a contraflow bike lane will be installed on Chatham Avenue!
A contraflow bike lanes gets installed on a one-way street and allows cyclists to legally travel in both directions. They are cost effective, safe, and ensure that cyclists are not forced onto busy arterial roads that lack proper cycling infrastructure.

The Draft EA Report summarizes the Gardiner East EA study process since it was initiated in 2009 to the present, and will be submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) for approval in the near future.

UPDATE: Thanks to the hard work of City staff, Monarch Park Pool will be open again as of July 9th!
I have been advised by City staff that the outdoor pool and wading pool at Monarch Park are closed due to significant damage to the pipes and boiler. The City is anticipating that repairs will take a week, and the Monarch Park Pool website will be updated when there is a firm date for reopening.
