April is Earth Month, and in this year that has drawn us together so powerfully while keeping us physically apart, we are feeling the need now more than ever to honour this planet and our place on it. The DECA Green committee is bringing you a month of “Couchside Climate Action” — small ways you can make a big difference without leaving your home/neighbourhood. Follow us on Instagram for our suggestions (and enjoy beautiful graphics from Corbin Creative!) No Instagram? No problem — we will send out a weekly summary here on our blog, so just make sure you subscribe!
DECA Green has partnered with the Danforth Mosaic BIA to bring you four workshops in the month of April. Each session will feature a presentation from our local experts, followed by a Q&A. Register on Eventbrite, using the link in each workshop description below.

The mission of the Danforth East Community Association (DECA) is to build a stronger, more vibrant, safe and walkable community while also empowering neighbourhood residents through community involvement.By belonging to DECA, I help support the East Lynn Park Farmers’ Market held each week in the summer, as well as annual events such as the Arts Fair, Pumpkin Parade and Festival of Lights.
My membership fees fund important initiatives like the DECA Young Leaders Scholarship, DECA Pride, and the new DECA Discussions series, which provides opportunities for our community to discuss and address important social issues.
DECA strives to ensure that community members are aware of information and events affecting our neighbourhood, such as the recent Danforth Study. My membership fees also help amplify DECA’s voice at City Hall and ensure that DECA’s representations are viewed as credible and seriously considered by elected officials when making decisions.
I belong to DECA because I want to live in an inclusive, respectful, safe, and diverse community.
