SHARING OUR VISION WITH COMMUNITY
30 March 2022
The Mount Dennis Quilt envisions a multi-use building, offering a vibrant streetscape including both the ground level and the first few floors as community space. Above that, we’ll be building affordable residences, many of which will have access to much needed supports through other community partners. We have developed the concept plans for the project and are preparing to submit our official application to the City of Toronto. Before doing so, we want to share with you what we have co-created together, thus far.

The Mount Dennis Quilt: Sharing Our Vision with Community
13 May 2022
The Learning Enrichment Foundation has hosted four community co-design meetings on The Mount Dennis Quilt thus far. The first meeting, held on March of 2021, shared the goals of the redevelopment and served as a brainstorming session on the overall vision. The second conversation with the community, in July of 2021, was dedicated to imagining the streetscape in front of the new building. Based on feedback provided from the first and second community consultations, LEF’s architect, LGA Architectural Partners, and planners, Gladki Planning Associates, prepared a number of design concepts. In October of 2021, various design concept elements were presented to the community to obtain their input.
More recently, on March 30th of 2022, LEF continued the neighbourhood discussion on The Mount Dennis Quilt by holding a co-design session with the community to determine how The Mount Dennis Quilt’s community space could best fulfill the community’s needs.
