Our Community

One of the Royal York Gardens' greatest strengths has always been our sense of community. Many of our neighbours, especially seniors, have lived here for decades and helped shape the place we all call home. As part of the next stage of RYGTA.com, we’re excited to announce a new initiative focused on community initiatives, including the establishment of a Seniors Connection & Community Support Network. This program is a simple, caring way for tenants to help one another, especially during emergencies or when someone just needs a helping hand. Before we launch, we’re asking for tenants willing to help us organize and set up the program. We’re looking for people who can: Help design a simple check-in or contact system for seniors in the building, share ideas on how to reach neighbours who may not be online, assist in organizing volunteers or creating emergency contact lists, and lend time or skills to help get the network started. This will be a community-led effort by tenants, for tenants, to ensure no one is left behind. Additionally, we encourage participation in local charity events and supporting local businesses as part of our community efforts. If you’re interested in helping set up or volunteering once the program starts, please click below to add your name. Together, we can build something that brings comfort, safety, and connection to everyone in our community.
