As the city filed it

For more than 30 years, Heather McGregor has been the CEO of Toronto's YWCA, a key Toronto charity that supports women. Their head office, at 87 Elm St., backs onto a walkway between Edward Street and Elm Street that is an extension of Chestnut Street. Ms McGregor is about to retire. The YWCA has requested that the walkway be renamed Heather McGregor Way, in recognition of her extraordinary service to the women of Toronto.
