Origin
Summary
The purpose of this report is to seek authority from City Council to enter into a management agreement with Fred Victor Centre, a registered charity. The agreement would initiate a community partnership to govern use of park space and would allow Fred Victor to manage, on behalf of the City, the greenhouse, bake oven and community garden complex at Regent Park for community benefit. This approach is intended to ensure these park amenities live up to their full potential for serving the community.
