…but I live in the Junction, why should I care about all this
Simply because the Junction community buildings and cultural spaces are outmoded and thread bear. In no way can any of the parks, recreation centres service the current situation and needs of the community. And as This blog author travels non stop accross the city to community building and municipal public use space, I rattle. The Annette recreation centre (1972) does not have an older adult room nor a Multi use room for the community. The junction has an unused police station but a few number of people have worked diligently to the community use what do you just not have neede The junction has an unused police station but a few number of people have worked diligently to the community use, but they have just not had the support needed. Well in in Parkdale area, the community has taken control and retrofitted to older use buildings, One being the w being the Walbash Building.
As the system of section 37 funds disbursement into the areas only adjacent to the real estate development providing the funds, sp disbursement into the areas only adjacent to the real estate development providing the funds, section 37 does not work.
But section 37 funds are not the only way for community to revitalize itself, community groups with directed intention and solicit funds to greater magnitude the most people expect from foundations, at higher levels of government. As this happens in good measure in the area such as Regent Park, North Bathurst, Cork Town and more, and the Junction in the Junction triangle lag significantly in receiving this funny.
This post is getting a bit long, but the Junction is a great community, and does not need to settle for less.
Contruction in Regent Park today.
