Welcome to the Mirvish Village Task Group (MVTG)
Since 2014, our purpose has been to provide accurate, accessible and up-to-date information on the Honest Ed’s and Mirvish Village redevelopment and on Planning policies and studies impacting the 4 corners of Bathurst and Bloor and environs. Our aim was to provide an informed critique of the proposals for the Mirvish Village site reflecting neighbourhood perspectives.
On this website you will find the “public record” — that is, what has been published in a public forum, such as a submission to City Planning or Community Council as well as responses to City Planning, Heritage and Westbank without a vested interest in the development.
After three years and approximately 100 meetings with city staff, councillors, MVTG, various communities and other stakeholders, Westbank’s third proposal was unanimously approved by Toronto City Council on April 28, 2017. The changes made to the development plans are substantial.
Going forward, the MVTG will remain a committee of the Palmerston Area Residents’ Association (PARA) with additional members from the three adjacent residents’ associations – Seaton Village (SVRA), the Annex (ARA) and Harbord Village (HVRA). With the development proposal approved, MVTG will again be involved in the process of public engagement regarding the construction plan, site management, streetscape and park design.
It is essential to the health and ecology of our neighbourhood that we – all of us – use our influence to shape developments for the long-term public good.
