- Jane’s Walk to explore proposed actions
- Celebration & Mural Launch (3:00pm Queen & Callender)
Details: In the last 18months we've gathered community members, agency staff, friends, academics and you. Together through theParkdale Community Economic Development (PCED) planning project we’ve built a vision for Parkdale that emphasizes four overarching values: Inclusiveness, Affordability, Diversity and Equity. The risk of untamed gentrification in the area puts these values at risk.
Please join us in celebration as we share The Parkdale Neighbourhood Plan - a new story for Parkdale that offers strategies and actions to protect our shared values and promotes collective action, equitable development, participatory democracy, decent work, food security and shared wealth building.
