Neighbourhoods
CELOS has in its background relations with many communities.
The ground we stand on most of the time is Dufferin Grove Park. A monthly newsletter was been published for almost 11 years. Every month there were seven pages of events and editorials about this fourteen-acre downtown park and its immediate neighbourhood. The meandering tale of urban public space is can be found in the newsletter archives back to the year 2000.
Local Issues
Power Blackouts:
The coldest-day-of-winter blackout in downtown Toronto (January 15-16, 2008) got us thinking about blackouts, and what happens in neighbourhoods during an emergency. In emergencies, mutual help among neighbours suddenly becomes more important than in the day-to-day. So we've started a folder on the subject.
Transportation:
How do people get around in the city? Bikes and trains are two issues that have had lively discussion on neighbourhood e-mail lists, archived here.
