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 18,000 tenants, cooperative and condominium owners who live in the area. Due to its central location, the subway is steps away in every direction. In 2014, 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 districts: University-Rosedale (west of Bay Street) and Toronto Centre (east of Bay Street). The federal ward redistribution process is underway, and will result in the University-Rosedale federal boundary being moved from Bay Street to Yonge Street after the next federal election in 2024 or later. Currently, the provincial electoral districts have the same boundaries as the federal ridings; University-Rosedale District 112 (west of Bay Street) and Toronto Centre District 109 (east of Bay Street). The Province of Ontario appears to be reversing tradition and will not change the provincial electoral ridings to the same areas as the federal ridings at the time of any provincial election that happens after the next federal election. The existing 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. Toronto can determine ward boundaries independently of the province and federal boundaries. It is therefore possible that the federal electoral districts, provincial electoral districts and municipal wards may all be different in the future. 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 responds to call in the Bay Cloverhill neighbourhood. Station 45 of the Toronto Paramedic Services resides at 135 Davenport Road provides medical emergency service. |
