This past week there was a public meeting held to explain and discuss the process for Off-Leash Park applications. Generally most of the information is posted on the City of Toronto website, and is well explained. In attendance was approximately 30 residents of the area, a few representatives of Leash Free Mississauga, and of course the city staff holding the meeting.
One of the few points that are not readily available on the Toronto website that I gained from the meeting is;
- most if not all Leash Free sites will be fenced by the city. As well any benches, garbage containers, and other features are part of the city budget.
- a design process will be entered after the site has been fully approved and vetted. This will be with some consultation of the applicant group.
- a community group can make multiple applications for multiple parks/sites. Each must be submitted separately.
As well;
- Our site is still being processed, but all things moving well we can hope to hear from the city in November.
- There is also a very new application for Marie Curtis park (that I believe we should collectively support)
Lets hope that things move quickly and we can have a leash free park before the winter!
