June SLNA Meeting Report July SLNA Meeting Report Refugee Fundraiser Walk-a-thon in Edwards Gardens The St. James and Community Refugee Committee will be walking for refugees on September 28th in Edwards Gardens starting at 10:00 a.m. to raise funds to continue their ability to sponsor resettlement applications. The committeehas undertaken eight sponsorships since 2015 including single individuals, reuniting family members, and families from Iran, Syria, Cameroon, Eritrea, and Afghanistan. The stories of each of these individuals and families are compelling – fleeing civil war, conscription into the army with no hope of a way out and persecution due to sexual orientation. The work of the St. James committee cannot be done without donations. The costs to support individuals and families have risen significantly. Minimum costs to support an individual for the 12-month period required by the Government of Canada are estimated at $25,000. For a family of four, the costs are $50,000 or more. Consider helping by walking on September 28th or through a donation. https://stjamescathedral.ca/donate/give-online/refugee-response/ https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/st-james-cathedral/p2p/refugee-walkathon2024/  Design credit: Bernadeth B.

From the York Quay Neighbourhood Association The future of the Waterfront could be decided in a couple of weeks, so please pay attention! City Councillors and Planners want to know what you think of the Island Airport's proposal to build RESA runway extensions into the lake. These safety measures would expand the Airport and be built during night hours for several years, at a cost varying from $60 mill. to $130 mill. depending on size. RESAs are closely tied to a time-sensitive extension of the Tripartite Agreement that could keep this airport going — and growing — for many decades, with unknown aviation activities at our doorstep. The urgency to get this to a City Council vote is created by the Airport's neglect of RESA regulations until now, and it is lobbied heavily by Ports Toronto. This is about much more than the Airport — it's about the future of a liveable Toronto and alternate uses of this precious Waterfront land. Get involved, and be here on this important issue! Tuesday, September 24, 2024 Enercare Centre, salon 105 Exhibition Place, 100 Princes Blvd. at 7 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm) Eventbrite reservation (optional).
