Wabash Community Centre Survey

This survey has been created by the Friends of Sorauren Park (FOSP), a non-profit volunteer group dedicated to the completion and enjoyment of Sorauren Park.

The intention is to collect community input that can help inform the design process for our new community centre planned for 40 Wabash Avenue - the old Canada Linseed factory. This survey is one initiative of FOSP's comprehensive consultation process with the objective of ensuring the long awaited community centre reflects the wishes and responds to the needs of our unique neighbourhood.

Construction of the $40 million community centre is to be completed by the City of Toronto and is slated to open in 2023.
