Help Save Toronto's Museums
Although none of the four heritage museums slated to be closed due to budgetary cutbacks are located in our neighbourhood, they do help create a link to the past and a sense of community in our city as a whole. Closing these museums will not save the City a significant amount of money, but will lead to a huge loss to the community. Help support the museums by signing the online petition.

High Park Residents' Association (HPRA)
The above is a rejected built form for a condo development in our neighbourhood. More than 900 High Park residents and Etobicoke York Community Council disagree with this view of the future in our neighbourhood. Learn more...
The High Park Residents' Association's mission is to preserve and enhance the quality of life in our neighbourhood through sponsorship of community-building initiatives and events, solicitation of resident feedback on issues of concern, and representation of area resident views to elected and non-elected government officials, agencies, businesses, and other third parties.
We are a grassroots organization of local home owners, their families, and tenants resident in Wards 13 and 14. We share Toronto's outdoor jewel, High Park, as our premiere neighbourhood amenity.
The HPRA and its members liaise and partner with neighbouring resident and community associations, business improvement areas, and special interest groups - in addition to elected officials and their staffs - to promote awareness of resident concerns, and pursue solutions that are of benefit to all.
In order to objectively serve the interests of area residents, the HPRA is neither aligned nor affiliated with any elected or non-elected officials, political party, business, or trade.
