Recent redevelopment pressures are significantly reshaping neighbourhoods across Toronto, particularly around major transit corridors. In the Bayview–Eglinton area, these changes highlight several key issues related to density, affordability, transportation infrastructure, and community engagement.

The goal of the Guidebook is to draw from not only policies, but also the direct experiences and connection that the MUCP team built over the academic year 2025-26 with Bayview/Leaside residents.

The Toronto Police Service is making the public aware of a suspected roofing fraud and impersonation scam targeting homeowners, resulting in significant financial losses. Investigators believe these incidents are coordinated and ongoing, and there may be additional victims.

Virtual Webinar – Tuesday, April 7, 7 to 9 p.m.

Leaside residents are invited to a virtual community meeting with Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin, MPP Stephanie Bowman and MP Rob Oliphant, along with representatives from the Toronto Police Service, for a discussion on community safety in Leaside in response to recent concerns.
