Events
The Mount Dennis Community Association is the lead organizer for several events each year, but we also participate as partners or attendees with other groups. The best way to stay updated on our events and attend is by joining our email list.
If there are any local community events you would like to let us know about, please email us at info@mountdennis.ca!
spring clean up
The yearly MDCA spring clean-up is a series of community volunteer events that takes place throughout April/May. We invite members of the community to join us on walks and pick up as much garbage as we can to help keep Mount Dennis beautiful.
party by the pond
Since 2012, the MDCA has been hosting an annual “Party by the Pond” where we invite the community to enjoy the beautiful green space and nature within Eglinton Flats, partake in activities such as fishing, and enjoy food and entertainment provided by local food businesses and artists.
skating rink
During the winter months, Pearen Park was transformed into an outdoor ice rink built and maintained by volunteers. Members of the public were welcome to bring their own skates and make use of the rink. Over the years many learned to skate on this rink and used the free skates and hockey sticks available to borrow from the Skate Hut. Please e-mail us at volunteer@mountdennis.ca if you are interested in how we get a skating program back despite the mild winters.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The MDCA hosts an annual general meeting (AGM) where we invite residents to learn about our work and other neighbourhood efforts, and overall celebrate our wonderful community. The AGM is also the once-per-year opportunity to join our board. We usually hosts our AGM late November. Please email us at board@mountdennis.ca or call 416-614-3371 to learn more.
Jane's walk
Jane’s Walk are free, locally organized walking tours, in which people get together to explore, talk about and celebrate their community. The walk we host in Mount Dennis tends to take place in May, and focus on historical sites and the natural beauty of the area. It is a fun stroll in the neighbourhood that can also be very informative. Although we do not host one every year, there are other groups that do walking tours and Jane’s Walk as well.
other events
The MDCA has (co)hosted many partnered events to increase civic engagement and community building within Mount Dennis. Some past events include Government Election Debates and a Multicultural Forum. Candidates and Ministers are frequent guests at our events. For any collaborations/partnerships, please email us at info@mountdennis.ca!
