Anvil Alley and Dapper Lane unveiling on January 24

10/17/2019

 
e CWNA's lane naming project continues, adding character and history to previously anonymous alleys.  

Anvil Alley, just north of Wellesley extending easterly from Church, pays homage to Dudley's Hardware, the long serving hardware store next door. 

Dapper Lane, west of Church Street extending northerly from Wellesley Street, reflects the historic presence of several barbers at Church and Wellesley.

The names were approved by Toronto and East York Community Council on October 10, 2109. 

You're invited to join CWNA and Councillor Kristyn Wong Tam for the naming ceremony on:

Friday, January 24,  10 a.m.
60 Wellesley Street E.

After the unveiling of the new signs, Dudley's Hardware will host a community social.  ​

59 Storeys Proposed at 625 Church

10/10/2019

 
​Manulife Investment Management is proposing a 59 storey rental tower at Church and Charles, where the 7 storey Traders Building presently stands.

At a second community consultation, on October 2, Manulife polled community members as to whether they would choose to preserve the current building facade as the podium of a new tower or to have the building demolished in order to create more green space. Option 1 would allow for 2600 square feet of publicly accessible open space; option 2 would allow for 6300 square feet.

As a matter of comparison, the new tower on the west side of Church at Charles (including the old Manhattan Apartments) was approved at 47 storeys. The Manulife proposal is still at an early stage; the developer has yet to submit a development application to the City.

Meet Your Neighbours 2019

10/10/2019

 
​The 2019 edition of the CWNA's Meet Your Neighbours took place in Barbara Hall Park on a sunny Saturday, Sept. 7. This year, we grouped the participating community organizations together near the Church Street side of Barbara Hall Park, which drew in many curious passersby. We had entertainment through the afternoon, starting off with a stellar performance by D'Manda Tension, followed by the Rainbow Ballroom Dancers and a special children's reading by Fay and Fluffy.  All in all it, many neighbours met, making the afternoon a grand success, which we will build on next year.
