Lawrence Heights
Lawrence Heights Revitalization Coalition
The Lawrence Heights Revitalization Coalition (LHRC) is a resident-led coalition that shares their experiences with revitalization.
They aim to learn more about the revitalization planning processes and ensure their community has a voice in the decision-making process as it relates to community benefits.
In June 2020 with support from North York Community House and Toronto Community Benefits Network, the Lawrence Heights Revitalization Coalition was formed. Residents from the Lawrence Heights Community have been engaging in a series of discussions on their experiences navigating revitalization in our community.
The coalition has had meetings discussing the current and ongoing impact on residents, and the larger community.
Common themes that are discussed in coalition meetings include:
Residents' everyday experiences with revitalization
Issues with community safety
Affordable housing
Employment opportunities and getting good jobs and employment
Community wealth building
Community ownership
