Don Mills Residents Inc. is one of the largest and most active residents' associations in Toronto. Membership revenues support the work of this volunteer organization to maintain Don Mills as one of the finest communities in Metropolitan Toronto in which to live.
The DMRI is a respected voice on behalf of the community at both the municipal and provincial government levels. Divided into 13 Areas, (map), each Area has a Coordinator who, along with the DMRI Officers and other Coordinators, serve on the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee meets at a minimum, once per month.
In advance of federal or provincial elections, the DMRI organizes and hosts all-candidates meetings to provide an opportunity to hear first hand the views of the candidates. From time to time, special community meetings are organized to inform and/or collect community opinion on significant matters.
DMRI's Objectives:
- To foster and promote the active participation and involvement of area residents in matters of common interest to the Don Mills community
- To formulate and express general policies in order to define, promote, and protect community interests
- To act as a spokesperson for the community in matters arising from the purposes outlined above.
