History and Vision
The Dufferin Grove Residents’
Association (DGRA) was formed in
the fall of 2004, in response to the
Doversquare Development. A few
very concerned individuals, trying to
get answers about this development,
decided they might have
more strength if they worked
together. To attain party status at
the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB)
Hearing for the Doversquare
Project, this group of individuals
incorporated as the DGRA.
Since that time, the DGRA has:
1. Established a Board of Directors
and a constitution
2. Defined its community (the area bounded Bloor, Ossington,College and Dufferin Streets)
3. Expanded membership
4. broadened its activities to include a wide range of initiatives intended to protect and advance the community’s interests and foster a sense of neighbourhood.
