ABCRA Fall 2025 Newsletter

As we reflect on this year’s newsletter content, it’s clear how the ABC Residents Association helps to shape our community. These stories highlight our mission to protect character, enhance livability, and ensure that development also serves the public good. It is a constant challenge as the forces of intensification have remade some of our neighbourhoods in ways unimaginable 25 years ago.

ABC Residents Association victory at the OLT!

It’s easy to think that you can’t win at City Hall – or the OLT – but ABC’s recent victory at the Ontario Land Tribunal is proof that opposing inappropriate developments and continuing to believe in the power of communities to shape the city of Toronto is worth the effort.

“No amount of massing refinements and architectural design can cure the fundamental flaw with respect to the 39-storey height of the Proposed Development, which does not conform to the City’s OP, the Downtown Plan, and the SASP 211*. Although there is a broad provincial policy which is supportive of intensification, this does not confer an unfettered right to height.”

~ Jean-Pierre Blais, Vice Chair of the Ontario Land Tribunal
