Looking for something to do tonight? There will be a KMCLT benefit concert at LOLA in Kensington Market at 8pm! Come by and say hi! No cover to get in. All band proceeds go to KMCLT thanks to the Asthma Kids and Derrick Seed!
Earlier this year, we sat down with community members and KMCLT board directors to discuss what the Kensington Community Bond campaign means to them, and how investments will support the future of our community. Learn more and watch the full video here: youtu.be/rI7dcUZ2dvg

It’s worth noting that the darkest areas of significant population loss are areas that have the city’s most permissive zoning. Suburbanization and a lack of existing unit protection policies pulled and pushed people out.
The vast majority of Toronto neighbourhoods have fewer people living in them today than in 1971, despite a doubling in overall in population. Toronto needs to upzone these neighbourhoods to 6-8 storeys, in particular.

Citing survey in the report, Pasternak says “a little over half of people are opposed or neutral to this [drinking in parks] policy. Now that doesn’t sound like overwhelming support for this kind of roll-out.” Pasternak was first elected to council in 2010 with 19% of the vote.
Perruzza’s intent is to ensure people who “weren’t paying attention” because “they were on their couch playing video games” don’t get stuck paying the vacant home tax and/or a late fee. He mentions couches and video games several times during his speech.
