The Annex is under increasing pressure from new projects that could fundamentally change the traffic patterns, land uses, built form, and underlying fabric of our neighbourhood. The Planning and Development Committee of the Annex Residents’ Association (ARA) monitors the ongoing development activity and, if necessary, intervenes with developers when projects or renovations might affect the integrity and quality of life in the Annex.

The primary job of the Planning and Development committee is to monitor local development projects, tell our residents about them, and seek their views. We believe that an informed community will lead to more stable relations with developers, City Hall and other stakeholders and that this will result in better outcomes.

The committee meets regularly on the first Tuesday of each month. If you are interested in participating, please send a message with subject line "Planning" to [email protected].
