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.

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.
