The LRA supports Councillor Matlow’s motion that City Council: request the Province of Ontario to provide a comprehensive update on the condition and status of repairs of the Ontario Science Centre buildings and any building stabilization activities that have been or will be implemented, and request the Province to maintain the outdoor landscaping and activity installations at the Science Centre site and provide public access to serve the recreation needs of the Thorncliffe and Flemingdon Park Communities.

We applaud Metrolinx’ 4th quarter update report on the Ontario Line construction in North York, in being comprehensive and inclusive of the status of all parts of the program. Going forward, we request that the City give consideration to longer term impacts of the Ontario Line and TOC on Thorncliffe Park and Flemingdon Park by undertaking Secondary Plans that would consider the population impacts, improving public realm, and infrastructure needs of the communities in light of the Ontario Line.

Bennington Heights was first settled in the 1870s by John Cudmore and Daniel Ryan, who operated successful market gardens on their properties until the area was developed in 1889.

Today, Bennington Heights has the ambience of a mid-20th century residential neighbourhood, an enclave like a more modern Wychwood Park.

Monday, April 14, 7 p.m.
William Lea Room
Leaside Memorial Community Gardens
1073 Millwood Road
Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Agenda items include a resolution to expand the area served by the Leaside Residents Association to include the area bounded by Eglinton Ave. E., Laird Dr., Vanderhoof Ave., and the west edge of the Don Valley.

Following the (short) annual meeting, there will be remarks from our MPP and local councillor, and a federal Candidates Meeting starting at approximately 8 p.m. Questions may be submitted ahead of time via email or in writing prior to the meeting. No questions will be taken orally from the floor.
