About the PRA
The Parkdale Residents Association (PRA) is for all who call the neighbourhood of Parkdale, Toronto, home.
The PRA is motivated by the commitment toward community, and as residents we have a collective interest to support and advocate for, our community’s well-being.
Parkdale is a wonderfully dynamic, creative, eccentric, historic place, and it is our belief that an active and engaged people can make this great community even better.
Parkdale is a wonderfully dynamic, creative, eccentric, historic place composed of a great diversity of cultures, ethnicities, ideologies, opportunities, and challenges. As members of the PRA we work toward improving and celebrating the diversity and work to have an active and engaged group that can make this great community even better.
Through inclusive public events, transparent communication, and fair and informed debate, our goal is to develop our distinct community spirit, energize and inform our advocacy, and promote the broader participation of the Parkdale community in the decisions that may affect their lives.
Parkdale’s geographic location has been defined in various ways, for the purposes of the association we use the following: “Between Roncesvalles Avenue and Dufferin Street, from Lake Ontario north to Pearson Avenue, and from Macdonell east to the railway tracks.”
Here is our constitution and bylaws as adopted on the 31st of May, 2005 and amended on the 29th of November, 2007.
