Mailing List

Building a Better Bloor Dufferin is the community of local residents, businesses, community services agencies, arts companies, and others who have come together out of shared alarm and concern about the sale of public school lands for private development and proposals to massively rebuild Dufferin Mall.

BBBD has a holistic vision for the school lands reflecting our community’s needs:

● Land for a 200-unit non-profit building of deeply affordable and supported housing, along with the integration of 10% affordable units into the proposed condominium buildings;

● Additional finished space and funds for a Hub of 70 000 sq. ft. as envisioned by the

multi-stakeholder Community Hub Visioning Group who spent 10 months consulting local residents;

● A minimum of .5 acres of additional land to the current park space to

compensate for the loss of tennis and basketball courts;

● Additional funds of $10 million for the rebuild of Bloor Collegiate to ensure the school will adequately serve its student population and remain a resource in the community. We support the local school community’s finding that future enrolment projections are low. The current provincial funding formula does not allocate eno0ugh money to build a school adequate for a fast growing population.
