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.
Be sure to take advantage of our community Farmers' Markets and Good Food Markets this summer!
Withrow Park Farmers' Market When: Saturdays 9am-1pm Where: Withrow Park, 725 Logan Ave
Leslieville Farmers' Market When: Sundays 9am - 2pm Where: Jonathan Ashbridge Park, 20 Woodward Ave (at Queen St. E)
Leslieville Community Market When: Friday 4pm to 7pm and Saturday and Sunday 10am to 4pm
Cool off at one of Toronto's terrific outdoor pools, wading pools, and splash pads! Take a look at this map for the hours and locations of your neighbourhood pools.
The Carlaw + Dundas district of our Leslieville neighbourhood has a rich industrial heritage dating back to the late 1800s. Early industries – including abattoirs, cattle sheds, piggeries, market gardens, brickyards, florists and a tree nursery – emerged to take advantage of the easy access to the growing city and Carlaw + Dundas' proximity to the Grand Trunk Railway.
At November’s safety walk we decided to do a follow up safety walk with residents, officers from Division 55 and City staff after the new lights had been installed and the trees were in leaf.
Please join me this Tuesday July 5th for a safety walk in Withrow Park. We'll meet at 7pm at the Withrow Park Clubhouse.
If you have safety concerns and you're not able to join me at the walk, please get in touch with my office at [email protected] and Crime Prevention Constable Jonathan Morrice, 416-808-5579 or Jonathan.Morrice@
The City of Toronto is asking residents to be part of the important decisions that are being made to improve Toronto's rapid transit network, including current plans for SmartTrack, Scarborough Transit, the Relief Line and Waterfront Transit Reset.
"Toronto residents have been clear – we need to get this city moving. SmartTrack will cut congestion on the Yonge line by providing all-day, two-way, express service across the city. The Scarborough transit plan will bring more transit for more people in Scarborough,” said Mayor John Tory. "We need to build transit to connect people to jobs and jobs to people and bring opportunity to all four corners of the city so our residents and businesses are able to prosper. I hope people will share their ideas, opinions and experiences with us as we work toward decisions on transit."
Do you have Art + Design knowledge? The City of Toronto is looking for local Community Representatives to participate on a selection panel for a design competition.
The City of Toronto has reached a tentative agreement with CUPE Local 79, which represents the City's 21,000 active inside workers.
Details of the agreement will be released once it is ratified by the Local 79 membership and subsequently approved by City Council. A new agreement with the City's 4,200 active outside workers, represented by Toronto Civic Employees' Union Local 416 (CUPE), was approved by City Council on February 29.
