DECISION DELAYED
We are still awaiting the final decision from the OMB.
We expect it to be available towards the end of January. Once it arrives, we will post
the full document here.

Please check back for updates.

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.
