The BCNA continues to work with our Member of Parliament to protect our most vulnerable neighbours , and were pleased to hear that Stan Cho continues to listen to residents successfully securing a deferral of the Ministerial Zoning Order (“MZO”) which would have overridden the existing legal protections on the site which had been zoned for seniors only, and removed the rights for residents to challenge the City at the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT).

We have also learned through a federal access to information request with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) that the Willowdale Manor property was vetted by the federal government, along with hundreds more sites by the City. We ask that residents continue to write federal , provincial and municipal leaders to continue to voice concerns.
