About Us

Welcome!

We are a distinct and vibrant neighbourhood tucked into the small pocket between Broadview Avenue and the Don Valley.

CHCTRA is committed to protecting, enhancing and improving our downtown residential neighbourhood and surrounding area.

Our Committees are actively engaged on issues such as development along Broadview Avenue, community safety and traffic on our neighbourhood streets.
