TAS is collaborating closely with the Walmer Road Baptist Church, its congregation and the local community to shape the redevelopment for a church that sits at the heart of the Annex neighbourhood in Toronto. You can learn more about the project here.
We’re currently in listening and sharing mode – trying to learn as much as we can about how folks experience the local neighbourhood today, and how our project could help make it even better for tomorrow.
This November, we’re hosting some fun ways to get involved, learn about the project and share your thoughts. Everyone is welcome to join these free events.

About this event
TAS is redeveloping a 5.3-acre site right next to the Cooksville GO Station in the heart of Mississauga.
Since COVID-19 continues to affect our communities and it’s challenging to gather in groups, we are hosting a special online workshop about the project for local residents.
We’ll be sharing information about our redevelopment plan and answering any related questions you might have.
And even more importantly, we want to hear what you think! It’s our goal to listen and learn all about how you experience the Cooksville neighbourhood today, what you love about it and how our redevelopment project can help make it an even better place to live, work, learn and play.
Do you think we should create a new community centre or library? Is there specific retail or services you think the neighborhood needs more of? Or do you have a design idea for an awesome public space or park that the neighbourhood would use all the time? All ideas and perspectives are welcome and we look forward to a lively conversation.
