COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT DAYS
The City of Toronto’s calendar of Community Environment Days is out. Each Councillor designates a local, one day site where residents can drop off household hazardous waste and electronic items, recycle a variety of items and pick up leaf compost for the garden.

HERITAGE CONSERVATION DISTRICT One of the things that makes Don Mills such a desirable and livable community is the unique style of its architecture that dates from the original development of the 1950s. The large lots and now mature trees and gardens make our neighbourhood an oasis in a big, bustling city. Sadly, there are more and more instances where old Don Mills homes are demolished and replaced by big, new homes that are not in keeping with the style of the original community. Clearly, many older Don Mills homes need to be updated or rebuilt but this can and should be done in a manner that respects the neighbourhood character and local by-laws. One way to ensure that the architectural style that exists in Don Mills today is maintained into the future is to designate Don Mills, or parts thereof, as a “heritage conservation district”. For more information on what this means and entails please click on the link above. If you wish to investigate a heritage designation for your street or neighbourhood, please contact Terry West, President DMRI. __________________________________________________________________
