    As many of you are aware, TRCA has been informed that Cambridge Healthcare, owner of Woodbine Nursing Home on King Street, is planning to expand their facility by building a 4-story Assisted Living facility on the vacant lot adjacent to the current Woodbine building. TRCA distributed information concerning this issue to the community. After obtaining feedbackfrom many neighbors, particularly
    those most affected by the proposal, and thoroughly discussing this issue, on Wednesday, June 12th,
    the TRCA Executive Committee voted to oppose any change in the zoning of the lot at 2811 King
    Street, which is currently zoned for residential use only. Any rezoning of this parcel is not in the best interest of the neighborhood, the homeowners, or the community.

    TRCa's FAll Block party

    This year's Fall Block Party was great fun for everyone! The party
    included two moon bounces, face painting, live entertainment and
    delicious BBQ from Rocklands. Many of the neighborhood goblins
    ghouls were captured enjoying the beautiful, sunny day. Click here
    for photos. 
     
    If you weren't able to attend the party and pay your annual dues
    of $15, you can still make a donation here. Your contribution helps
    support TRCA's scholarships, the Fall party, National Night Out and
    Earth Day events.
