Go to Dufferin Grove Park on a Thursday evening and you will see something rare, even for Toronto: people of all ages and skin colours happily intermingling; a community kitchen dishing up bowls of chilly gazpacho; vendors at a farmers’ market hawking organic baked goods and greens; a yoga class exhaling in unison; small children chasing each other through tall ornamental grasses. And the especially interesting thing about this kombucha-fueled camaraderie is that it’s entirely resident-led. The stuff that happens there is mostly the work of an amorphous citizen collective called Friends of Dufferin Grove Park, members of which are now saying the City is trying to clamp down on their activities.
