The South Mountain community engagement initiative reaches out to seven social housing complexes operated by Kiwanis Homes Inc., Victoria Park Community Homes Inc. and McGivney Homes Inc.. The initiative, funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, is a two year project which employs a Community Developer who supports the newly established resident-led South Mountain planning team. The purpose of the baseline survey was to gain a sense of the community’s strengths and improvement areas prior to the initiative in order to measure the influence of the initiative. Survey results revealed that there was a general consensus of neighbourhood assets, problem areas, and resolutions. Overall, survey participants were satisfied with access to transportation and amenities in their neighbourhood, and were concerned about safety.
