Making Healthy Public Spaces

Our goal is to develop a healthier and community-based Scarborough. To do so, we are organizing clean-up events and developing initiatives that care for our public spaces.

Plaza Pops

In the summer of 2025, SZW has collaborated with Plaza POPS to transform Wexford parking lots into community oases. We have organized a workshop about waste reduction strategies with our neighbours and have developed together with Good Future Collective a brochure with our findings. The conclusions of it was that eventhough Toronto inner suburbs' waste infrastructure is underdeveloped, the people feel ready for more ambitious waste reduction strategies like bringing your own containers or reusable dishware.
