THE PROVINCE WILL NOT STAND UP FOR ITS POLICIES
We tried. Mayor Miller asked. The Film Board asked. Over 4500
residents, Film Workers and concerned Torontonians asked. The answer
is No, the Province will not make a declaration of Provincial Interest
in the Smart!Centres OMB hearing.
THE RALLY WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
Over 300 neighbours came out to voice their concern. We had representation
from all levels of local Government and many local Residents like Rick Smith from The Environmental Defence,
Luba Goy Canada's premier Political Satirist and Ed Foster owner and operator of Pro Glo Paints.
FIND OUT WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL DO TO CYCLING IN THE EAST END
Biking Toronto has written an excellent article on the impact of new driveways on the Lake Shore
WE WON THE MOTION FOR CONSOLIDATION
The OMB will consolidate the appeals of 629 and 633 Eastern Avenue (PL0501314) with the appeals to the City of Toronto
Official Plan Amendment No.5 (PL061112) and the appeals from the City of Toronto Secondary Plan for the South of Eastern Employment
District. What this means is the hearing is no longer site-specific and the OMB will look at a larger community context.
COMMUNITY VISION SURVEY
This brief survey is designed to help the City Planning Department and the Ontario Municipal Board understand
what the community would like to see for the lands south of Eastern Avenue
Please drop this survey off at Brayham Contemporary Art

Welcome to the East Toronto Community Coalition website.
We are a Not-For-Profit group, committed to promoting community initiatives that support and maintain the unique historical, cultural
and economic character of the waterfront communities east
of the Don River. We encourage change when based on smart planning principles, transparency, equity,
safety and a healthy, clean environment.
Currently, we are engaged in a battle to stop a 700,000sq. ft., 1900 parking spot, BIG BOX retail development
that will undermine the integrity of our community on various levels. The City has said NO, the community has said NO, now it's in the hands of the OMB
