ACCESSIBILITY

We have accessible washrooms at the Turtle Island Neighbourhood Centre. Please use the front door to avoid barriers. 

The block party will be set up in the field next to the Turtle Island Neighbourhood Centre. The centre is in the middle of housing. Visitors will need to park on King Street, Dufferin Avenue, or Flora Avenue and use the paved walkways to access the site.

Please contact [email protected] by June 24 if you are concerned about barriers and need to drop off a family member closer to the centre because we can open a gate to the field on Flora Avenue (you will need to park on one of the public streets after your drop off).
