A new South Eatonville Residents Association (SERA) has been created to help improve the lives of those living in the area.
The Association has been in existence since last August and its area is bounded by Bloor St. and Dundas Sts. W., Kipling Ave. and Hwy. 427, organizers say
The Association, which has more than 50 households, held their first meeting last January 22 at St. Matthew’s Church at 3962 Bloor St. W.
“We were created this past summer after a public consultation meeting about development at Shaver/Dundas that led to a great deal of community frustration,” SERA said in a statement.
They have been active in dealing with area councillors, city planning office, and ‘sitting down face-to-face to discuss development plans for the Dundas/Shaver Pinnacle development.’
The Association has an eight-member board, who have been meeting monthly and includes former City Councillor Irene Jones.
Their goal is to advocate on behalf of the community with the city, provincial and federal governments, school boards and developers on issues related to responsible development, traffic, transportation, parks and recreation, schools and housing.
