Thank you for the question.
The originally proposed maps of 2012 saw a community called Malvern cut in half. Malvern has been identified by the City of Toronto as one of the priority neighbourhoods to ensure that it builds as a community. There is a lot of investment into that community by the city itself to make sure that a sense of community is built for larger Malvern.
Secondly, the community of Morningside Heights, directly north of Malvern, was also cut in half. Morningside Heights is a relatively newer community, a younger community that hasn't had the opportunity to establish strong roots and its own identity. The community of Morningside Heights today is reliant on Malvern for all of its community services. It's a neighbourhood of houses and some schools. There's even a brand new school that's being built in Morningside Heights today, as we speak, which is set to open later in the fall. So this community hasn't even had a chance to create its identity. It's not fair to a young, thriving community, where we are seeing the most change in population development. Population growth in Scarborough is actually in the north part of Scarborough, in Rouge River, in the Morningside Heights area, and it doesn't make sense to divide these communities in half.
Both Malvern and Morningside Heights need to be kept together because Morningside Heights is dependent on Malvern for all of its service delivery, that is, immigration, health care, child and youth programs. Everything that Morningside Heights depends on is in Malvern.
