Send an Email in support of a car-free High Park
It's time for a car-free High Park.
On May 10-12, City Council will meet to vote on the future of High Park.
High Park should be a natural refuge from the stresses of city life – a healthy environment where people can enjoy the park free of motor traffic and the accompanying air pollution, noise, and threat of injury.
The City of Toronto took the bold step of closing High Park to vehicles on weekends back in 2020 and the overwhelming success of this decision is well reflected in the High Park Movement Strategy surveys and reports. That’s because the full potential of High Park shines through when it is car-free.
A car-free High Park will fully support the City of Toronto's TransformTO climate goals, VisionZero road safety goals, and ActiveTO health and well-being goals. If a park can’t be car-free, then what hope do we have of prioritizing low carbon modes of transportation, meeting our climate goals, and putting the health and safety of people first?
That is why it is vital we maintain and expand upon one of the only car-free spaces in the city.
Please take a moment to send an email to City Council in support of a car-free High Park. You are provided with a pre-written message or you can write your own.
Thank you for your support.
