Welcome to the first newsletter of 2025 from Canary District Neighbourhood Association. In this issue, we talk about:
Did you know that our Corktown Common is much, much more than "just" a park? It's also flood protection, a haven for native plants and pollinators, and a site with a rich industrial history. It boasts a series of interconnected outdoor environments that humans, animals, birds and insects can enjoy.
It's also an all-season experience, with new things to see and discover at every time of the year. Come see Corktown Common transformed by winter on an informal walking tour of this beautiful park.
This is definitely something we would like to do here in Canary District, but until we can organize it, we encourage folks to go check out our neighbour's event over on The Esplanade.
The Remarket is a community event organized by our almost-next-door neighbourhood association to promote the REmarketing of usable post-consumer goods that can be REused, REpaired, and REcycled and to Rethink our purchasing decisions by taking Responsible actions in our consumption of material goods.
Glad you asked. Please explore the rest of the website. If you use Facebook, join our private neighbourhood group. And if you'd like to volunteer, head over here, and let us know which one of our projects fires you up!
Here are some of the projects and issues we are following. Click on the links to read more, and if you'd like to get involved, write us!
In solidarity,
