A local walking tour of Murals and Public Art in the Junction Triangle

starting from the Railway underpass on Bloor St., just west of
Lansdowne Ave. The cost for all Jane's Walks is FREE. The Junction

COMMUNITY MEETING - STERLING ROAD DEVELOPMENTS

This meeting took place on Wednesday April 20th, and was
well-attended. Notes from the meeting are not posted online yet, but
I hope to type something up and post them to the Junction Triangle
website very soon. The upcoming changes to the south end of our
neighbourhood will be massive, so it's important that all residents
stay informed and involved.
