What was meant to be a rainy day turned into the perfect sunny backdrop for our team retreat in Parkdale 🌞
We spent the day walking, learning and connecting with inspiring community leaders and organizations doing incredible, community-driven work. From @parctoronto and @parkdalequeenwest_chc , to @aangencommunity , @parkdalelandtrust and @parkdalera
—we saw firsthand how passionate residents turned community leaders are shaping a more inclusive, resilient neighbourhood.
Finally we reflected with gratitude on the day and enjoyed momos @logascornerto . A huge thank you to everyone who shared their time and insight. Parkdale is a powerful example of what’s possible when community comes together.
