Dear friends and neighbours,

WE DID IT!
I want to give special thanks to the Mount Dennis Community ecoCampus Development Planning Group for their relentless hard work and determination. I would like to also thank Mayor John Tory, CreateTO, George Brown College, and the Economic and Community Development Committee for their support in this endeavour. I’ve been working with the Mount Dennis Community Association’s (MDCA) Mount Dennis ecoCampus Development Planning Group. This group has been very active and engaged in investigating and promoting a local campus opportunity. I love to see residents so passionate about, and engaged in their community. They have been actively exploring a campus opportunity in parallel with work being conducted by the City. I’m delighted that the City and George Brown College are committed to bringing a campus to this neighbourhood. Mount Dennis presents a number of opportunities and strengths regarding the potential location for a campus here, including the availability of high order transit; a significant population of post-secondary aged residents and the current lack of access in this part of the City; key economic development activities underway to focus and drive economic growth; alignment with and support from key City initiatives; and, business and local community support. This initiative has been and continues to be one of my main priorities for our Ward. I will continue to work with key stakeholders to champion this endeavour as your City Councillor.
