Parc Downsview Park is asking for your input on how the Downsview Park Community Renaissance Fund should be spent to support those impacted by the Sunrise Propane explosion last summer.

We thought long and hard about what we could do to help rebuild Downsview in the wake of this tragic event. As a result, we dedicated our 8th Annual Fall Fair on October 5 to activities that residents would especially enjoy. We also established the Downsview Park Community Renaissance Fund with a $10,000 donation from Parc Downsview Park Inc. to the Toronto Community Foundation. This fund was created to help rebuild the community after the severe impacts to personal lives, households and businesses following the explosion.

We want to hear from you. Tell us your suggestions for how the $10,000 held in the Downsview Park Community Renaissance Fund should be spent.

Please send your recommendations to communications@pdp.ca. with the subject “Downsview Park Community Renaissance Fund,” or by mail to Downsview Park Community Renaissance Fund, Parc Downsview Park Inc., 1-35 Carl Hall Rd, Toronto, ON M3K 2B6.

Please provide your suggestions by March 1st and we will advise you in the next newsletter on where we are going to make this investment happen in the Ancaster area.
