2021

A YEAR IN REVIEW

i-Spark-yellow-400px.gif

This year has not been without its challenges and we continue to come together to overcome and learn from the pandemic. It’s also been an inspiring year for id8 Downsview as we collaborate with the community and the City to plan for the years—and decades—ahead. Our efforts culminated in the submission of a Framework Plan, which lays out our vision for Downsview informed by what we heard from residents, groups, experts, and individuals across the city. Our overriding goal is to improve the quality of life for all those who live in the Downsview community, with a particular emphasis on equity and inclusion. That’s the
only way to build for a future for everyone.

Discover what we’ve accomplished together in 2021 and what’s planned for the year to come!
