Big Box vs common sense

NOTE THE RESCHEDULED DATE BELOW

On May 21 and 22 at 10 am, the Ontario Municipal Board will begin hearings into what may turn out to be a Wal-Mart on the Portlands.  The East Toronto Community Coalition is one of the key groups fighting the proposal.  To get involved, contact Kelly Carmichael.

The Toronto-Danforth Federal Green Party Association opposes the proposed SmartCentres development on Eastern Avenue at the former site of Toronto Film Studios.  We support the East Toronto Community Coalition in its efforts to promote an alternative that enhances the existing community and acts as a gateway, rather than a barrier, to the Portlands.     Read more »
