Boundaries!

One last thing — we’re expanding! Pending approval by membership, we would like to expand our borders to the west to Greenwood, and to the north to Cosburn. Our border to the east remains Main and to the south, the railway tracks.
 

More about us…

We’ve made big changes to our little pocket, starting with our East Lynn Park Farmers’ Market, giving facelifts to a number of Danforth stores and bringing the Danforth East Community Arts Fair to the community. We call ourselves a “community” association rather than a “resident” association because we feel it is important to include residents, businesses, schools, places of worship, and other organizations in the conversations we have about how to make our home on Toronto better for all of its inhabitants.
