Friends of Cedarvale's Community of Practice: Session 3

After two incredible sessions, where neighbours came together to map out the assets and priorities for Cedarvale Park and Ravine, we're so excited to invite you to Session 3. This will be our last session of the exploration phase before we move into collective decision-making, and it will give us a glimpse of what's to come!

There's also a special guest joining us! We’re thrilled to share that our guest for this session will be Joe Mihevc, the former Toronto city councillor for this neighbourhood, and someone whose early support helped Friends of Cedarvale come into being in the first place. We’re so excited to have him join us!

This is a space to connect with neighbours, share ideas, and think together about the future of Cedarvale Park and Ravine, no need to have attended Session 1 and 2 to be part of it. This time, we're gathering at Maria A. Shchuka Branch, so we can reach neighbours from a different corner of the community.

Note: We’re reserving about a third of our spots for neighbours living in postal codes closer to Maria A. Shchuka Library that haven’t been as represented in our sessions so far. If you know someone nearby who hasn’t made it out yet, this is a great one to invite them to!

Thinking Ahead

This pilot is the start of a larger goal, building a process model for community building in parks that other neighbourhoods and friends of parks across Toronto can adapt.

The City of Toronto has expressed interest in this project, and generously provided a small honorarium to help get it off the ground. We're grateful for their support and continuing to explore ways to partner as this grows.
