In this time of uncertainty and crisis, communities have come together to support each other. Community led initiatives have sprung up across the country. In Parkdale-High Park , we are fortunate to have amazing neighbourhoods coming together:
COVID 19 Action Parkdale Roncesvalle: “Our focus is on community action by community groups and individuals -- people helping people”. To learn more, please visit www.covid19actionparkdaleroncesvalles.ca
Parkdale Mutual Aid Network: “The Parkdale People’s Economy wants to support community members with self-organizing mutual aid networks in Parkdale to build strong connections with neighbours during the outbreak of COVID-19. We know that many of our neighbours are disproportionately impacted by social distancing due to housing insecurity, mental health, poverty, precarious work, and lack of access to affordable food and resources. We want to ensure that isolated and vulnerable community members have support networks and solidarity during these difficult times.” To learn more, please visit parkdalepeopleseconomy.ca
Parkdale High Park Online Community Group: In Parkdale- High Park Park we are fortunate to be made up of wonderful and eclectic neighbourhoods. A Facebook group committed to supporting local businesses and community members across the riding was created by PHP residents. To learn more visit Parkdale High Park Online Community Group
