About Us

The McGill-Granby Village Residents’ Association was

established in 1978 when the City of Toronto Planning

Department recognized this as an area which merits

planning attention to preserve residential house form

dwellings in the City’s core. The City of Toronto passed

By-law 283-83 to establish this as an area of Special

Identity, in response to the planners’ recommendations.

Our boundaries are Yonge Street, Carlton Street, Jarvis

Street, and Gerrard Street East.

The association has a Constitution, and became a non-profit Ontario Corporation (No. 721716) on August 12,

1987, in order to have legal standing before the Ontario Municipal Board and other Municipal and Provincial

bodies.

Since 1978, we have constantly monitored the impact of development and other proposals upon our area, have

protected and promoted the interests of our neighbourhood, and have had a relatively high degree of success.

We maintain excellent relations with the government of the City of Toronto, particularly with our Ward Councillor

and the City Planning, Municipal Licensing & Standards, and Legal staff; and with the Toronto Police Service.

We invite you to consider joining the Association, so that you will receive notice of the Annual General Meetings

and any Special Meetings; receive any information and/or newsletters during the year; and be able to

participate with us in issues, decisions, and on committees. Annual membership is $20 per person ($15 for

those 65 and older).
