About

About

The OV NAP is a broad based community-led organization with a mandate to work together with residents, businesses, agencies and City representatives to improve neighbourhood well-being and active communication, coordination, and service delivery. OV NAP was founded in January 2016 as a result of community action to address some issues in our community. Councillor Josh Colle successfully obtained City of Toronto financial and logistical support for this community-based initiative.

The OV NAP meets monthly at the Maria A. Shchuka library with our resource members to discuss and tackle issues within our community. OV NAP meetings are co-chaired by community residents who facilitate our discussions.

OV NAP IS COMMUNITY LED!
