Lemonade for Love is a lemonade stand with a sweet twist! This child-driven, parent-supported fundraising event focuses on kids helping kids. Lemonade for Love started in 2014 as a small lemonade stand in a front yard in Etobicoke. It has since grown into a well-attended community event held each June at Fairfield Park in Etobicoke. This year marks their 10th anniversary, a significant milestone! To date, Lemonade for Love has raised and reinvested over $200,000 back into our local community through the #CaptainXavierFund at Silver Creek Preschool for children with special needs in Etobicoke. This fund provides scholarships to help families send their children to Silver Creek Preschool as well as offers financial support to families at Silver Creek who may need assistance with the cost of medical devices, equipment, and/or aids. This event is championed by youth ambassadors who represent Lemonade for Love in the community. Please welcome this year's ambassadors to the Etobicoke York Community Council to share their presentation and invite us to the 9th annual event, which will take place Saturday, June 21st, 2025, from 9am-12pm at Fairfield Park.

250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West
In 2021 City Council approved a zoning bylaw amendment for 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West under item 2021.EY25.1. The decision allowed the addition of three new 11 storey buildings and the retention of a large part of the existing retail plaza. This multi-building, mixed-use development includes residential and non-residential space, a public park fronting Eglinton Avenue West, a privately-owned publicly-accessible open space (POPS) abutting the public park, a community agency space, and a large plaza with several shops and services. On January 6, 2023 the applicant submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment, 23101352WET02OZ to amend site-specific zoning By-laws 834-2021 and 835-2021 to significantly increase the approved building heights and densities on the site. No decision has been made. There is a deferred application 23199617WET02CO (B0033/23EYK) to sever the site into a number of parcels. The 2021 application proposed the introduction of an 8.5 m wide L-shaped mid-block private street connecting Eglinton Avenue West and Wincott Drive. Located south of the private street, fronting on Eglinton Avenue West, would be Buildings B and C, while Building A would be located to the northwest of the private street adjacent to the western property line. Building D is referred to as the existing Richview Square plaza. The 2021 staff report notes public opposition to the proposed private road, and preference of a public street. In the report, staff noted "that all new public roads that are to be assumed by the City are required to be free and clear of any above or below-grade encumbrances, and as such the City would have no interest in assuming a public road at this location". Information has since been made available to the public that identify encumbrances as two catch basins and connecting infrastructure to the city storm sewer which serve the temporary driveway located in the same position as the new road. Overcoming these encumbrances would be possible with the construction of a new public road on the site.
The Etobicoke York Community Council: 1. Requested the Executive Director, Development Review, to give consideration to the inclusion of a public road within the development application under review for 250 Wincott Drive and 4620 Eglinton Avenue West.

4208 Dundas Street West - Liquor Licence Application - Region Food and Bar - License No. 2261917
In July 2023, an application to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) was submitted for a liquor licence for the premises at 4208 Dundas Street West to operate under the name Marche Leo's Market (the "Premises"). The Application was for an indoor area only with a proposed capacity of 120 patrons. No objections were submitted for this liquor licence application, but the licence has not yet been issued by the AGCO. In May 2025, an application to add an outdoor licensed area to the Premises was submitted to the AGCO with a proposed capacity of 88 patrons, with the operating name of the Premises to be changed to Region Food and Bar. The Premises is located within a residential midrise building and there are concerns that a licenced outdoor area with a capacity of 86 patrons may disturb residents living within this building. The application for the addition of an outdoor licenced area is not in the public interest, unless the concerns of the residents are addressed. The Registrar of the AGCO should be requested to issue a Proposal to Review the liquor licence application. The application to add the licenced outdoor area to the Premises is not in the public interest unless certain conditions, addressing the concerns of the community, are attached to the licence. This matter is urgent as the placard deadline for objections is June 16, 2025.
The Etobicoke York Community Council recommends that: 1. City Council direct the City Clerk to advise the Registrar of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) that the issuance of a liquor licence adding for the outdoor area for Region Food and Bar, 4208 Dundas Street West (the "Premises"), is not in the public interest having regard to the needs and wishes of the residents unless conditions are placed on the licence, and that the Registrar should issue a Proposal to Review the liquor licence application. 2. City Council recommend that the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario be requested to provide the City of Toronto with an opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to the Premises. 3. City Council authorize the City Solicitor and to attend all proceedings before the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and the Licence Appeal Tribunal in this matter and be directed to take all necessary actions so as to give effect to this Motion, including adding conditions to any liquor licence issued for the Premises.
