MPP Glen Murray will host a number of meetings in the south end of Toronto Centre starting at the end of the month. These meetings will be a continuation of past meetings and will focus on neighbourhood priorities as decided by residents.

For more information, please contact the Office of MPP Glen Murray, 514 Parliament Street, 416-972-7683, gmurray.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org.

Just East of Bay Street is vacant land – 11 Wellesley Street West – that is currently owned by the Province of Ontario. The land was identified through the Community Action Plan process as the last piece of land in the Bay Cloverhill and Church-Wellesley neighbourhoods that could be developed into park space.

As a result, Glen Murray has been working with the Ontario Government and Ward 27 Councillor, Kristyn Wong-Tam, to secure this land for park space and recreation.

As a part of this process, Glen Murray prepared a deck of statistics and photos highlighting the situation of park space and development in Toronto and the neighbourhoods surrounding 11 Wellesley Street West.

The next five CAP meetings have been scheduled. We are looking for volunteers to help distribute flyers, facilitate meetings and assist with set-up and take-down. Please contact the Constituency Office of MPP Glen Murray for more information:

Recently, we have been working on integrating the existing maps that have been made in-house by torontocentreplan.org. The first product of this initiative is now available!

Interactive Data Map of Toronto Centre

*NOTE: To toggle data sets on and off, click on the arrow on the left menu*

We are please to introduce an interactive map that integrates multiple data sets such as:

• Proposed developments
• Under-construction developments
• On-hold developments and developments with limited information
• Provincially-owned land in Toronto Centre
• Neighbourhood Association boundaries

As much of the information displayed on this map is constantly in flux, any corrections provided to us are greatly appreciated. Please register them at the bottom of our Contacts page by leaving a reply.

The Toronto Centre Plan Data Map has been composed using a number of websites, data, and maps found online. Our map merely compiles information that is public, and displays it geographically.

Below you will find a comprehensive list of all of the websites, data, and maps used to create the Toronto Centre Plan Data Map. If anything is omitted in the list, please inform us and we will immediately reference it. Additionally, if any private information that you own is displayed on the map, and you would like it to be removed, please contact us and we will remove it immediately.
