On October 11, 2022, our MP, Minister Ahmed Hussen, met over Zoom with
members from STOP, the Mount Dennis Community Association, the Mount Dennis
eco-Neighbourhood Initiative, the Black Creek Alliance and neighbourhood climate
action champions. STOP made a presentation outlining our concerns about the
impact of an elevated LRT rail line on our parkland as well as Metrolinx’s lack of
transparency and meaningful community engagement. Minister Hussen was
sympathetic to our concerns and committed to contacting Metrolinx, MPP Michael
Ford, and Councillor Frances Nunziata as well as researching the federal
government’s role with respect to this matter.
Since this positive meeting, we have reached out to Minister Hussen’s office but
have yet to receive a follow up appointment. We look forward to hearing how our
MP plans to act on behalf of York South-Weston constituents to protect our urban
green spaces.
