• Off - leash designation / Little Norway park meeting
This issue has gone to mediation and the results of the mediation process will be posted here when available.
• Canada Malting
BQNA is encouraging community input on what should happen with the Canada Malting building. This is our nieghbourhood, and whatever happens with this structure will impact on us directly. Please send us your thoughts, ideas, and concerns through our feedback page.
From Councillor Vaughan's office:
The Toronto Preservation Board will be considering a report at its meeting on Friday March 27 about the Canada Malting Silos. The meeting will be taking place at Toronto City Hall, 100 Queen Street West, 2nd Floor, Committee Room 4 at 2:00pm. This report will also be considered by the Toronto and East York Community Council at its meeting to be held on April 21, 2009.
Given the current financial situation, plans for the Toronto Museum Project are no longer moving forward. Councillor Vaughan can provide updates to the neighbourhood on this matter at the April public forum. With this situation, the future of the Canada Malting Silos need to be considered by the city, particularly in light of their deteriorating conditions and work that needs to be done to ensure that they do not pose a safety risk to pedestrians in the area. There are financial constraints on this but Councillor Vaughan is interested in looking at ways of preserving the elements with heritage value within these constraints.
The report is available online here:

The Waterfront School in our neighbourhood needs some adult volunteers to help some children with their reading skills. No prior experience is required, and some brief training will be provided. Only 35 minutes a week is required. You'll read with and to the child you are paired with in the school library (with the school librarian nearby to help, if need be.)
If you're interested in learning more about this rewarding opportunity to help, contact the teacher in charge of this program, Ms. Alcmene Stathoukos Email: Alcmene.Stathoukos@tel.tdsb.on.ca, or Phone: 416-393-8500.
(Note: a routine police background check is mandatory for all school volunteers.)
