Thorncliffe Park is often called an \u201cArrival City\u201d (after Doug Saunders\u2019 book of the same title) because it is the first place many immigrants settle in Toronto. It\u2019s a neighbourhood of high- and low-rise apartment buildings, with no detached or semi-detached houses. No one has a backyard, so its two parks function as everyone\u2019s backyard. \u00a0Its residents face steep economic challenges: many are highly educated, but lack the requisite Canadian experience and credentials to land a job in their profession. \u00a0As a result, 32% have low incomes, 15% are unemployed, and 20% are on social assistance.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_67344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67344\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-67344\" src=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/06\/Darragh-parks-5-600x931.jpg\" alt=\"Sabina Ali and Dave Meslin at the welcome event on Toronto Island.

It didn\u2019t even have garbage or recycling bins. \u00a0She organized the women in the community and requested investments in R.V. Burgess Park from the city of Toronto. Gradually, play structures, swings, a splash pad, and lights were installed in the park. The Women\u2019s Committee organized art activities for children, magic shows, a winter carnival, and markets every Friday evening. Gradually, the park became a hub for the community. The committee established a caf\u00e9 in a shipping container. In addition to selling nutritious, low-cost south Asian specialties, the caf\u00e9 provides job training and employment for local residents. Beside the caf\u00e9, the community raised funds for a wood-fired tandoori oven to bake naan and other south Asian specialties. During Covid, the Park Caf\u00e9 delivered 10,000 meals to local residents shut-in during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/conference.parkpeople.ca\/2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 Park People national conference<\/a> continues until June 23, 2023.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photos by Ian Darragh<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week folks passionate about city parks are fanning out across Toronto to study the best the city has to offer in innovative urban park design and management.
