East Scarborough Storefront
Summary
The East Scarborough Storefront is a community agency offering support to people in the neglected tower neighbourhoods of Toronto. Containing a community kitchen and garden, as well as a market, resource centre and access point to over 50 different agencies such as job search support and literacy service, this agency is a major asset to the people of Scarborough and Toronto.
ERA is working with the Storefront and local residents to explore the opportunities of Tower Neighbourhood Renewal at its site in East Scarborough. Specifically, ERA is exploring the potential of integrating the Storefront with its neighbours and the community at large, through an updated landscape and site plan. Through an ongoing series of community workshops with local youth, with partners Sustainable.TO and archiText, a community vision is beginning to take shape.
