Dundas and Sherbourne Community Action Plan

The Dundas and Sherbourne Community Action Plan is part of the City's broader Dundas–Sherbourne Neighbourhood Revitalization Plan, which focuses on creating social and economic equity as the neighbourhood grows and develops. Working with the Moss Park Coalition, this plan brings together residents, agencies, and service providers committed to safety, wellbeing, and inclusion. 

Together, these efforts are helping ensure that revitalization in Moss Park is grounded in equity, collaboration, and lived experience. By recognizing the strengths that already exist in the area and building on them, the Community Action Plan helps guide new investments, programs, and partnerships that respond to local needs.

 My office has also refreshed the Moss Park Safety Network to re-establish community leadership, identify new safety priorities, and strengthen coordination among residents, and stakeholders. Included in the network is Unison Health and Community Services, Toronto Community Housing, and the City’s Community Crisis Response Program.

At the most recent Moss Park Safety Network meeting, participants discussed priorities such as improved lighting, increased community safety patrols, and addressing problematic alleyways. This work also connects directly to the Downtown East Action Plan, which addresses complex and long-standing challenges such as poverty, homelessness, mental health, and substance use. Together, these plans aim to create safer streets, better access to housing and supports, and a stronger sense of community across the downtown east.

As part of the Dundas and Sherbourne Community Action Plan, a  Community Advisory Circle and a People With Lived Experience Advisory Group have been established to ensure that residents’ voices directly shape the process. The plan is designed as a living document, one that will continue to grow and adapt as community priorities evolve.

I want to thank all the residents, community partners, and organizations who continue to lend their time and expertise to this important work. Your leadership ensures that Cabbagetown South and Moss Park remain communities built on compassion, opportunity, and inclusion.
