OPEN HOUSE
Pet-friendly Design Guidelines and Best Practices for New Multi-unit Buildings
Date: Time: Place:
Tuesday, October 22, 2019
6pm - 9pm
Metro Hall Rotunda(55 John Street, Ground Floor Lobby)
The City of Toronto has initiated a project to create a set of Pet Friendly Design Guidelines for Toronto’s multi-unit, high-density communities. Toronto communities are becoming increasingly compact, and include a large and growing pet population. In these areas, existing facilities may be at or nearing capacity, and additional space, facilities, and amenities are increasingly required to support the growing pet population and their owners, as well as to provide open space and facilities for everyone to enjoy.
The purpose of this study is to develop a series of guidelines and best practices to inform the design and planning of pet amenities in multi-unit, high-density communities. The study will focus on three scales – the neighbourhood, the building, and unit - covering the private to the public realm, with recommendations and strategies tailored to address issues associated with each scale.
As you have expressed interest on this matter previously, we would like to invite you to contribute your ideas and your perspective on how the resulted draft Guidelines can inform planning and development to improve residents’ access to facilities and amenities, and quality of life. We hope that you are able to attend.
