If you live in #Willowdale two journalists are starting a new initiative to bring a new news outlett to the neighborhood.

Protecting Neighbourhood Retail: Save Our Shops Councillor James Pasternak from the neighbourhood to our west has launched a campaign that may be of interest to residents in our community who rely on nearby retail services. The proposal for 75 Billy Bishop Way would replace essential neighbourhood retail with five towers reaching up to 49 storeys. Beyond the immediate impact on the Wilson community, there are broader concerns about the precedent rezoning could create. When land is rezoned, i…
