Ward 30: Toronto-Danforth

You need to join a ward group to see all the updates. You can still see all public ward updates and events.

The east end is home to many cycling enthusiasts and Ward 30 members are tapping into this energy. Goals include: to bring about positive change for commuter and recreational cyclists and to gather surveys about residents in the area.

Bells on Danforth - A family-friendly bike ride on the Danforth
Michael Holloway on May 10, 2013

- 12:00 Noon - East Lynn Park - Tomorrow! - Saturday May 11 -

Bells on Danforth organizing committee members had an in-the-park meeting on Thursday evening in East Lynn Park. We scouted the route along the Danforth to Queen's Park; did a volunteer marshals training practice tour on the nearby neighbourhood streets; and firmed up various other responsibilities.

Representatives from Ward 29, 30, 31 and 35 were in attendance.

We are ready to ring our Bells on Danforth!

Best meeting I've ever attended. ;)
