Toronto Police are hosting an online meeting to discuss bringing the FOCUS program to 12 Division. The FOCUS program (as I understand it) coordinates a group of social programs to respond to people at acute risk of crisis or anti-social behaviour.
The meeting will be August 26 at 6:30. You can register online.
The city will be presenting their findings on laneway suite applications at two sessions: one on August 31, and another on September 1.
This isn’t a presentation for solely Weston and Mount Dennis, but it is an idea that could change housing (a little) here. We have a number of laneways that could be used to build additional housing as planing rules change.
Another, similar housing option—garden suites—took a small step forward in a committee meeting in late June.
There will be free print-making and story-telling workshops every Wednesday this fall at the Weston Common.
