Chreod President new Board member of Annex Residents Association, Toronto

2011-02-03

Chreod’s President, Edward Leman, has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Annex Residents Association and Co-Chair of its Planning and Zoning Committee. The ARA is one of the oldest civic action groups in Toronto. It has been at the forefront of numerous efforts to promote balanced development in one of the city’s most unique collection of neighbourhoods, including opposition to the Spadina Expressway extension in the 1970s and, more recently, active participation in the Bloor Street Visioning Study which defines urban design guidelines for one of Toronto’s most important inner-city corridors. The Planning and Zoning Committee reviews all development applications and planning initiatives affecting the Annex and acts on the ARA’s behalf in supporting or opposing these initiatives, and in mediating disputes between residents, developers, and the City government.
