The George Street Revitalization (GSR) project continues to be shaped by the valuable input of stakeholders, ensuring this transformative city-building initiative addresses the diverse needs of the community. The revitalization will include the development of a long-term care facility, an emergency shelter for men, an all-gender transitional shelter, supportive housing, and a community-focused service hub. These integrated services aim to provide holistic support, fostering stability, dignity, and improved quality of life for those in need.

Meeting Information

The GSR Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) aims to meet at least two times a year.  Coordination of the George Street Revitalization (GSR) Stakeholder Reference Group was suspended in Spring 2020 to support the City of Toronto’s COVID-19 pandemic response.

We anticipate the next meeting of the SRG will be Fall 2025.
