PB 2024: Idea Phase Complete!

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the residents who participated in our recent Participatory Budgeting (PB) initiative. Your engagement and support have been truly inspiring.

We collected an impressive 44 resident-generated ideas for capital projects. This outstanding response demonstrates the creativity and care our neighbourhood residents have for their community.

From July 1 to September 30, 2024 ideas will undergo a review by City staff who will assess the feasibility and cost of implementing these projects.

Once the ideas are reviewed and costed, they will go to a vote this October. Using our Toronto Centre Projects platform, residents in Zone 2 (Cabbagetown, St. James Town, Winchester Park) and Zone 3 (Cabbagetown South, Downtown Yonge, Garden District, McGill-Granby, Moss Park) will vote on which projects they would like to see funded. If you live in one of those neighbourhoods, you will be able to vote on as many ideas as you'd like as long as their combined costs fit within the total $750,000 budget.

Thank you once again for your active involvement and for bringing your wonderful ideas forward. Let's continue working together to shape the future of Toronto Centre.

City crews have been actively working since early-April and most seasonal park washrooms and attached water fountains are now open.
