2442-2454 Bloor Street West Construction Management Plan and Site Plan Community Meeting
In 2019 City Council approved a mixed-use development consisting of a 12-storey apartment building containing 186 residential units with retail on the ground floor.
To ensure that the community remains a part of the process for this development I will be, in cooperation with City Planning staff and the applicant, holding a community meeting on Thursday, July 27th from 6:30pm – 8:00pm. This meeting will allow you to view the proposed Construction Management Plan and share your thoughts about how best to conscientiously tackle the disruption that comes with constructing a new building of this size. It will be a great opportunity to ask questions and for the applicant and City Staff to gather feedback. I will chair the meeting which will include presentations from City Planning and the applicant, followed by a Q&A period to allow discussion.
More information for the site is available at http://app.toronto.ca/AIC/index.do?folderRsn=ONqRrnyM7oImjnFtWMiVlA%3D%3D.
The link to join the meeting will be made available closer to the date.

High Park Walking Tour
Join us on Sunday, July 16 for a terrific walk featuring caterpillars, moths and butterflies.
Tour leader Don Scallen dove into the natural world as a little boy and has remained immersed ever since.
He’s a birder, butterfly blitzer, fish watcher and a native plant aficionado. He is also captivated by insects including caterpillars and moths.
For many summers Don has brought large Saturniidae moth caterpillars to this event in High Park, including cecropias, polyphemus and prometheas. He talks about their life histories and how to rear them and gives participants an opportunity to hold them and admire them up close.
After his talk, he’ll take participants on a walk to look for butterflies and monarch caterpillars. Don is the author of Nature Where We Live, a compendium of nature activities that can be done near home.
Meet at the centre triangle median, just inside the main entrance to High Park on Bloor Street at 10:30 a.m.
Our next walk will be on August 6.
