As the leaves change colour and the crisp autumn air settles in, my team and I have been busy planning a full calendar of events for Ward 15 – Don Valley West. From Town Halls to monthly Coffee Chats, creating opportunities for community engagement is a priority for me as your City Councillor.
I will be hosting four Town Halls over the next year. Located in neighbourhoods across Ward 15, the Town Halls will feature presentations from senior City staff and offer a chance for residents to ask questions, share feedback, and learn more about the work happening at City Hall. I’m committed to making local government accessible and transparent, and these events are a great way to stay informed and involved.
Ward 15 Town Halls:
October 23, 2025 | Thorncliffe Park Community Hub
November 25, 2025 | Leaside Memorial Community Gardens
February 24, 2026 | Virtual Meeting
May 14, 2026 | Location pending!
I’m also continuing my series of Coffee Chats – informal meetings held monthly in neighbourhoods throughout Ward 15. Whether you have a specific question or just want to say hello to the Ward 15 team, we’d love to see you there! These chats have been a wonderful way to build community connection and discuss the issues that matter most to you.
Coming soon in Leaside!
Coffee Chat: October 28 | Trace Manes Community Centre | 1:30 p.m.
Ward 15 Town Hall: November 25 | Leaside Memorial Community Gardens | 6:30 p.m.
For a full schedule of events, visit my website at RachelChernosLin.ca/events. Please check back periodically as events planned far in advance could be subject to date changes.
On another note, we are anticipating the completion of several exciting park projects this fall, including the Cudmore Creek & Trailhead rehabilitation and the Redpath Avenue Parkette revitalization. For updates on these projects and so much more, I encourage you to sign up for my newsletter at RachelChernosLin.ca.
Finally, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to reach out to my office, attend a community event, or stop by a Coffee Chat. Your ideas and feedback continue to shape the work I do at City Hall, and I’m so grateful for your engagement. I’m looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces at our upcoming Town Halls, park openings, and community gatherings. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected Don Valley West and Toronto.
Rachel Chernos Lin, Councillor, DVW
