You are invited to a community meeting to discuss concept designs for Albert Crosland Parkette on Fuller Avenue just North of Queens Street. Join Toronto City Parks staff, Councilor Gord Perks and your neighbours in helping to make this parkette a more welcoming place for residents.
The Roncesvalles-Macdonell Residents’ Association (RMRA) is holding a Ward 14 Councillor and School Trustee debate. The RMRA’s meeting is divided into 2 halves.
The 1st half will be a debate for the Councillor candidates (4) who they have been able to contact and invite. The debate will run from 7 to 8 PM
The 2nd half will be a debate for the Public (5) and Catholic (1) trustee candidates who they have been able to contact and invite.
There are important education issues that need attention, that is why they are having the trustee candidates included in their debate program. It will begin at 8 PM so that people may also attend the boundary meeting at Garden PS starting at 6:30 PM – click here for more info. That meeting ends at 7:30 PM allowing enough time to move over to Fern PS and the RMRA debate.
Please join us on Wednesday, October 15th for a Town Hall meeting of the leading candidates for Mayor of Toronto. The PRA will be co-hosting this event along with the Parkdale Activity-Recreation Centre (PARC) and the Roncesvalles-Macdonell Residents’ Association (RMRA).
Olivia Chow, John Tory, Doug Ford and Ari Goldkind will be in attendance.
The event will be a town hall format rather than a debate:
5:30 PM – pre-candidate civic engagement “how-to”, for those in the community who are new to the municipal election process.
6:00 – 8:00 PM – Mayoral Candidates Town Hall – each candidate will in turn have 20 minutes to present their platforms and take questions from the audience.
Please note the event location: PARC, 1499 Queen Street West
City Planning staff are undertaking a study to review the built form standards and heritage character of the properties on both sides of Queen Street West from Roncesvalles Avenue to Bathurst Street. The study will also look at transit capacity and parking in the vicinity of the study area, focus on understanding the character of the street and creating a vision for future development.
Please join local residents for this public meeting where you can learn more about this study, ask questions, and share your comments and ideas.
Meet the candidates running for office to represent you in the Ontario Legislature and hear about their party platforms.

It’s time to Spring into Action!
Please join us on Wednesday, March 26th, 7-9 PM at May Robinson Auditorium, 20 West Lodge Ave., for a general meeting of the Parkdale Residents Association where we’ll say goodbye to this brutal winter and Spring Into Action! on our 2014 community-building initiatives. This meeting will focus on our volunteers, and on the launch of new initiatives identified through a democratic and inclusive process that you will be a part of.
The PRA Executive has some ambitious ideas, but we need the help, energy and direction of volunteers such as you to make them happen. Here’s what we’re thinking:
