The CPRA, formerly known as CORA, started in 2006 when a dedicated group of residents were concerned about some of the businesses on Bloor Street between Crawford and Ossington. They fought to keep the number of establishments with liquor licenses to a reasonable number and worked with the police and housing authorities to crack down on the drugs that were being dealt out of the Irene Avenue Parkette. The Parkette was very successfully brought back to the community, cleaned up and with the City's help new play structures were installed.

The CPRA is now expanding its focus and looking to engage more of the residents that live between Dupont and Harbord, Ossington and Christie/Grace. We are in close and frequent contact with our elected officials, particularly our new Ward 19 Councillor, Mike Layton, as well as MP Olivia Chow and MPP Rosario Marchese. We hope to help keep our area up-to-date and well informed on issues that effect us all. If you are interested in getting involved, we welcome you to join us at one of our meetings.
