Community safety affects all of us, and every criminal act has the potential to violate our individual and collective sense of safety. The Pocket Community Association is happy to host a Community Safety Townhall event.
This event will bring together Pocket residents and our local community policy officers, and officials from the TTC to engage in dialogue about key concerns around safety in our community and how best to address them. We hope you will consider joining us to discuss any topics around safety in our community.
Please register for the event using the link below - however, registration is not mandatory so feel free just to show up too!

Come on out for a fun pre-holiday community celebration from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Saturday Dec 2! Enjoy free hot chocolate, coffee and baked goods as well as several tables of local crafts to peruse for possible Xmas gifts (cash only!).
We are accepting donations in support of Eastview Community Centre and the Toronto Humane Society. Please bring unwrapped toys, canned/boxed food or monetary donations on the day.
The annual night parade will go through the neighbourhood on Monday November 27, starting at 6:00 pm at Chatham/Greenwood – see parade route below.
The annual Pumpkin Parade is back for another exciting night of jack-o-lantern joy and the spirit of the spook! Each year after the sun sets on November 1, kids converge in Phin Park to see The Pocket’s Jack-o-Lanterns shine one last time. It’s a fun way for neighbours to celebrate an end to Halloween together and a simple way for communities to dispose of their pumpkins, with the support of the City of Toronto and our local councilor.
Come on out and celebrate with your neighbours. The PCA will be handing out hot chocolate, snacks and blaring some tunes!
The Pocket SNAP and Pocket Community Association (PCA) will be hosting a community planting event to plant the Pocket Tiny Forest.
The planting will begin at 9 AM at 8 Oakvale Avenue, in the northwest corner of the TTC Oakvale Greenspace (adjacent to the Oakvale Green Community Garden and south of Firehall 323). Community volunteers are invited to help plant 300 diverse native trees and shrubs that together will become The Pocket Tiny Forest.
Participants must wear close-toed shoes and are encouraged to bring gardening gloves. Light refreshments will be provided, and there will be an information booth to learn more about The Pocket Tiny Forest project and the Pocket SNAP. To register, go HERE.
