Upcoming Events in Scarborough North – June Highlights & Summer Fun Ahead!
Dear neighbours and friends,
Summer has officially arrived in Scarborough North—and with it comes a season full of connection, celebration, and community care.
Over the last few weeks, our office has been out in the neighbourhood—hosting our first Environment Day and four community compost days, meeting hundreds of residents, and supporting local initiatives that build a greener, more vibrant Scarborough North.
Whether we met you while handing out compost, during a public consultation, or at a cleanup, thank you for showing up and engaging.
This summer, we’re inviting you to do even more: share your voice at local consultations, celebrate together at Canada Day and our Summer BBQ, and stay informed about safety, fireworks rules, and local programs. You'll also find a chance to shape our newsletter through a short survey—because this work is stronger when it's led by community.
Scroll down for all the details—and we hope to see you soon!
