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. Officially, Bay Cloverhill is part of the Bay Street Corridor, which is the neighbourhood defined by the federal Census that extends from Bloor Street to Front Street to University Avenue to Yonge Street. The boundaries will be changed in 2021 as the Bay Street Corridor will be split into two new areas to reflect Census boundary changes. The neighbourhood encompasses two federal and provincial electoral ridings, University-Rosedale (west of Bay Street) and Toronto Centre (east of Bay Street). The same boundaries are reflected for municipal wards, University-Rosedale, Ward 11 and Toronto Centre, Ward 13. 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. |
