Who are we?
|
Welcome to the Bay Cloverhill Community Association (BCCA). We are a grass roots volunteer organization dedicated to improving the Charles/Yonge/College/Queen’s Park neighbourhood for residents.
The neighbourhood is anchored by Queen’s Park and provincial government offices, as well as many historic buildings at the University of Toronto, St. Michael’s College and Victoria College. Women's College Hospital is located in the area. Midsize office buildings and various restaurants/stores in the Yonge Street corridor offer a choice for the 25,000 tenants, cooperative and condominium owners who live in the area. Due to its central location, the subway is steps away in every direction. In 2021, the federal Census boundaries were changed, with Bay Street Corridor split into two areas: Bay-Cloverhill (Bloor Street to Yonge Street to College Street to University Avenue/Queen's Park Crescent) and Yonge Bay Corridor (College Street to Yonge Street to Front Street to University Avenue). The neighbourhood encompasses two federal electoral ridings: University-Rosedale (west of Bay Street) and Toronto Centre (east of Bay Street). The federal ward redistribution process is underway, and will likely result in the University-Rosedale boundary being moved from Bay Street to Yonge Street in 2024. This will effect provincial electoral ridings and municipal wards, meaning that the Bay Cloverhill neighbourhood will no longer be part of Toronto Centre. The provincial electoral ridings have the same boundaries, University-Rosedale District 112 (west of Bay Street) and Toronto Centre District 109 (east of Bay Street). The municipal City Councillor wards are University-Rosedale Ward 11 and Toronto Centre Ward 13. The municipal school trustee wards are Ward 10 for the Toronto District School Board, Ward 9 for the Toronto District Catholic School Board, Ward 3 Centre for Conseil Scolaire Viamonde and Ward 4 Toronto West for Conseil Scolaire Catholique MonAvenir. The area is served by Toronto Police Service, 52 Division, located at 255 Dundas Street West. Toronto Fire Station 314 at 12 Grosvenor Street is possibly the cutest fire station in the City. Station 45 of the Toronto Paramedic Services resides at 135 Davenport. |
