Founded in 1953, the York Mills Residents Association (YMRA) is one of Toronto’s longest-standing community organizations – a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit association dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for residents of the York Mills area.
For over seven decades, the YMRA has been the voice of our neighbourhood at City Hall and beyond. We’ve advocated for fair property taxation, responsible development, sensible traffic management, and the preservation of the natural and architectural character that makes York Mills a truly special place to live.
We are proud members of the Federation of North Toronto Residents’ Associations (FoNTRA), a coalition of over 30 neighbourhood associations working together on shared planning, development, and policy issues across Toronto.
The YMRA is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected annually by our members. These are your neighbours – people who care deeply about this community and give their time to make it better. We welcome all residents within our boundaries to join, participate, and get involved.
