Donate to your community association and help maintain & improve the safety, living standards and property value of your neighbourhood.
Community Safety
Your neighbourhood safety is also impacted by not only local construction, but also unforeseen events and spikes in crime rates like we’ve seen in recent years. Your donations help fuel our efforts to ensure safer construction projects, as well as the planning and implementation of community safety initiatives, which we develop in collaboration with Toronto Police 32 and 33 division.
Property Value
The value of your home can be impacted by various factors such as local construction projects. The YMRA ensures that all such factors ONLY improve property value, not decrease it. However, this requires a lot of time and effort, including professional correspondence with various regulatory organizations such as the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) as well as the City of Toronto.
Community Events
The YMRA’s volunteer committee works hard to host valuable events for our residents year-round. A lot of time and resources go into organizing these events, as well as securing and paying for venues, food and drink, entertainment and guest speakers. Ranging from our annual Holiday Social to our Federal Election Candidate Series, your donations help us organize and put on critical events that strengthen our community and keep us all informed.
General Support
YMRA board members and team players are all volunteers, and many of our community efforts require time and money. When you donate, you help fund our efforts to maintain and improve your very own neighbourhood. Whether it’s property value, community safety, social events, or unforeseen emergencies, your donations help us help you!

While the goal of addressing Ontario's housing shortage is legitimate, the law had significant side effects for established neighbourhoods like ours:
In short: the Province told developers "yes" before the City or residents could weigh in.
