Get Ready to Meet Candidates for Mayor on June 1st!

Candidates for Mayor will be hosted by over 60 residents’ associations in Toronto on Thursday June 1st from 7 to 9 pm. FoNTRA and FoSTRA invite you to this unique event that will focus on issues of importance to the 900,000 voters under their umbrella.

The West Bend Community Association is proud member of FoSTRA.

Nicole Swerhun will be a third party public moderator, and all questions to the candidates come from the public, not special interest groups.

OCAD University will sponsor this important debate, which takes place in their auditorium at 100 McCaul Street. Please save the date! We plan for a full town hall with the candidates onstage, expressing their social engagement and vision for in the city’s future. To accommodate a very large audience, the event will also be streamed virtually on various major platforms including YouTube and Facebook.

Media will be present. Donations from residents’ associations are needed to cover the modest costs (details to follow).

Stay tuned and stay engaged. We all need to vote!

 

 

 

About Us

The West Bend Community Association (WBCA) is a volunteer organization made up of West Bend residents and is funded by annual membership dues.

The mandate of the WBCA is to improve the community within our designated boundaries and the City of Toronto through active participation in neighbourhood projects.

The Association seeks participation from residents, local businesses, and any other interested parties that wish to be associated with the West Bend community.

The WBCA has been active for approximately 30 years, formerly under the name of the Dundas West Residents Association. It is recognized by the City of Toronto as a community organization and receives public notices of City initiatives affecting the area. The WBCA exists to:

  • Express and reflect the interests of our local community and interact with all levels of government to ensure that our collective voice is heard.

  • Foster a sense of community and promote a healthy, happy and safe living environment.

The WBCA actively welcomes new members seeking to enrich our community!
