Cabbagetown South is Fundraising

We are please to announce that we have teamed up with RainBarrel.ca to help bring awareness and make a change in how we use water. Our goal is to raise money to give back to the many incredible services in our neighbour as well as continue our very successful youth graffiti clean up crew this summer.

Last years time down gave so many of us the opportunity to build a garden, some for the 1st time. This year let Plantables.ca keep the tradition going strong with your favourite plants being delivered directly to your door.

Keep this fundraiser in mind when you plan your spring garden. Proceeds from the fundraiser help support Cabbagetown South beautification.

Cabbagetown South Safe Laneways Project

The idea is to see if there are ways we can change the design and function of our laneways to help deter unwanted behaviour. We need to take back our laneways by creating spaces that are attractive and safe for area residents to walk, ride bicycles, park their vehicles, play with their kids, exercise their dogs etc..

Beer Store Re-Development

An application is currently being put forward to construct a mid-rise condominium at 227 Gerrard Street East, a lot currently occupied by the Beer Store retailer. The applicant is requesting an amendment to the current by-law to permit an eight storey mid-rise building, fronting onto the south side of Gerrard Street East, and stepping down to the south containing 99 residential units and approximately 715 square meters of retail space.

Development in the area continues to skyrocket

The number of proposals and development in the area continues at an unprecedented rate with many dizzying heights.
