Look for the yellow bins (yellow pins on the map) to see where to drop your donation for the Daily Bread Food Bank. Remember, their most needed items are canned fish, canned tomatoes, canned fruit and veggies, oatmeal, and nut butters.

We’d love to see your finds– tag them #DanforthEastYardSale on social media to share!

Thank you for your questions, Danforth East and Monarch Park Collegiate! We edited down the many questions we had to five key ones for the candidates:

QUESTIONS FROM DECA SOCIALS:

My question as a tenant in DECA is, will our candidates pledge their support for vacancy control?

What will you do to help small businesses get back on their feet?

What are you going to do for low-income seniors?

QUESTIONS FROM GRADE 9 + 10 STUDENTS IN A MONARCH PARK COLLEGIATE CIVICS CLASS:

How will you tackle Gen Z’s problem with mental health and stress? One in four Gen Z feel emotionally distressed.

Currently, our world is being killed by greenhouse gases. How do you plan on reaching net zero emissions?

THE ANSWERS:

In this post, we share the full answers from Beaches East York NDP candidate Kate Dupuis and Liberal candidate Mary-Margaret McMahon. We will share responses from other candidates as we receive them.

Do you have lots of stuff you no longer need and could use the space? It’s time for our annual neighbourhood wide yard sale! Our local retailers will be joining in the fun with a sidewalk sale along Danforth East hosted by the Danforth Mosaic BIA.

DECA is populating a map online to show every
home and business participating in the sale!

Once you sign up, your application will be processed and your location added to the map. We will then send out further tips to help you with organizing your sale and contact information if you have questions.

Sign up to add your yard sale to the map here!

The most successful sales are the ones where the whole street gets involved. For example, Coleridge and the streets surrounding East Lynn Park have all had fabulous street sales in the past. You can too! Talk to your neighbours and ask them to get involved by sharing this year’s poster.

Street sales also get a special highlight on our famous yard sale map. The map will be promoted the day before on this site and through social media. Follow us at:

• Facebook: DanforthEastCommunityAssociation
• Instagram @danforth.east.community

Please also help promote the #DanforthEast Yard Sale through your own networks! The more yard sales we have, the more people will come out, the more successful this neighbourhood event will be.

Members of the DECA Green committee are meeting this Wednesday night (April 20) on Zoom to discuss our plans for the market this year.

Farmers’ Markets Ontario manages the farmers and other vendors for the market, but DECA plans the weekly activities and events, promotes the market, and connects the vendors with the community. Let us know if you are interested in organizing this year! Email green@deca.to or just come to our meeting at 8 pm on Wednesday:
