FOUR YEARS
OF MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT
From 2020 to 2024, Canada Lands Company and Northcrest Developments engaged with thousands to develop a vision for over 500 acres of land in Downsview. Local neighbours, Indigenous Rights Holders, and city-wide stakeholders shared their ideas and feedback through meetings and surveys, at focus groups and events, in person and online. Explore the engagement activities and summaries below.
