Resident Engagement Survey

Help shape our neighbourhood’s future!

For years, our volunteer board has worked to represent our community’s interests, support local initiatives, and build connections between neighbours. But we’re at a crossroads. With a very limited number of volunteers, and no new support for key initiatives – including our beloved annual Hallowe’en Parade & Party – we may need to pause many of our activities, hibernate, or dissolve.

At the same time, our city continues to consider major changes to zoning that could affect the character, growth, and future of our neighbourhood. Whether your priorities lie in community events, planning and development, or simply staying informed – we want to hear from you.

This short 1-minute survey will help us understand what matters most to our residents, and what role you want TOCA to play. Your input will help us decide where we want to focus our energy – or whether we can continue at all.

Creek Clean-up: Thank you!!

Our annual Spring Creek Clean-up was another great success! The weather was sunny and cooperative, and we were generously supported by our local Tim Hortons, who provided coffee and timbits to fuel our volunteers.

Thank you to all who volunteered to come and help keep our neighbourhood beautiful, and for caring for our slice of nature along Mimico Creek, which we are so fortunate to have right at our doorstep!
