BATHURST QUAY NEIGHBOURHOOD ASSOCIATION

Since 1990 the BQNA’s mandate has been to help improve the quality of individual and community life in the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood. If you live in the community from Coronation Park in the west to Spadina Avenue in the east and from the south side of Lake Shore Boulevard to Lake Ontario you are a member of the BQNA! The BQNA has an elected board made up of representatives from the 14 eligible buildings in the Bathurst Quay neighbourhood.

Our role is to act as liaisons for the community at the local, federal and provincial level to governments, business and community groups.

Encampment prevention update in Little Norway Park grotto

The encampment underneath the grotto has been fully removed, and the grotto itself is now officially closed, thanks in large part to the steadfast stream of emails and phone calls from the community and the fast action by our Parks department.

About the BQNA

The BQNA board usually meets around the third Wednesday of each month (with a summer break in July and August). All members of the community are welcome to attend. As residents, you form the general membership of this association, which was incorporated in 1990. Check the event page for meeting details.

We are looking to add more building representatives and sub-committee members as a way to better represent areas of particular interest. Our current sub-committees include: Air Quality Testing in the Bathurst Quay Neighbourhood and feedback on the Canderel proposal for 545 Lakeshore Blvd West.

We also have BQNA board and general members as representatives on Ports Toronto’s Community Liaison Committee and Noise Committee and on the City’s Community Liaison Committee for the temporary respite centre.
