The Cooper Koo Family Cherry Street Y will be home to a 20,000 square foot accessible green roof – one of the largest in downtown Toronto.
A consultation session will be held on Feb. 24 from 7 to 8 p.m. at 51 Division at the corner of Parliament and Front streets. No registration is required to attend the consultation.
The YMCA has also created an online survey at http://fluidsurveys.com/s/koogreenroof/ where residents can share thoughts about design concepts, programs the Y could offer, or sign up to volunteer and plant the roof in the spring.
Email Sarah Beldick, Assistant General Manager, at Sarah.Beldick@ymcagta.org to get involved.
