COMMUNITY YARD SALE
LPRO hosts an annual Community Yard Sale the first Saturday of June. This is a much anticipated event in our community where you can find a new home for your gently used items, find something special and meet with your neighbours. Every year over 100 homes participate!
aNNUAL RAVINE CLEAN-UP
An LPRO tradition for over 20 years, the clean-up of the Chatsworth/Otter Creek Ravine and Glenview and Duplex Parkettes is part of the City of Toronto’s “Clean Toronto Together” spring clean-up. The event, held every year on a city-designated Saturday in April, is a wonderful opportunity to help keep our community sparkling by helping to clean up litter such as small plastics, cans, bottles and other waste. It is also a great way to meet your neighbours, and if you are a high school student, to earn community service hours.

Thanks to our fellow RAs, our Organizing Committee, moderator Tom Cohen from Eglinton Park Residents’ Association, and our technical expert John Hiddema for helping make this event a big success – our largest ever turn-out for a candidates’ meeting!
2019 EGLINTON-LAWRENCE FEDERAL CANDIDATES' MEETING*
LPRO hosted a candidates’ meeting for the community on October 2, 2019 to help residents make a more informed choice in the 2019 federal election. This was a unique opportunity to meet the candidates and hear them articulate and defend their party’s platform. The event drew a large audience from LPRO’s catchment and the rest of the riding.
A 50 Questionnaire Handout was completed by Candidates prior to the Meeting and was distributed to attendees on the night of the event.

Our Annual General Meeting is open to the public however only paid-up members of LPRO can vote. Meetings are typically held in person, however in 2021 and 2022 our AGM was held virtually because of Covid.
Our 2024 AGM was held on Tuesday, October 8, 7:00 – 8:30 p.m., at Glenview Presbyterian Church. Almost 100 residents turned out to hear what the Toronto Police Service, Councillor Mike Colle, TDSB Trustee Shelley Laskin and LPRO President Maureen Kapral had to say.
