Who We Are

About Don Valley West for Environmental Action

We are a group of residents in Don Valley West working to build a greener, more sustainable future in our riding.

Through community engagement and education, we want to inspire people to take action in their daily lives and to spur our local politicians to lead on issues important to Don Valley West.

We are a proud member of Green Neighbours Network and team up with other Toronto-based groups that share our goals. We run a photo contest celebrating the Don Valley's natural beauty, co-host tree walks with the Toronto Environmental Alliance, and are planning our first repair cafe for spring 2026.

Ward 15 — Don Valley West

We serve Toronto's Ward 15, stretching from the Don Valley ravines through Leaside, Thorncliffe Park, and Bennington Heights. Our ward includes some of the city's most beautiful green spaces—and some neighborhoods that need more.
