The North Etobicoke Revitalization Partnership envisions a vibrant, harmonious community where everyone respects diversity and takes responsibility for ensuring safety, health and economic viability.
NERP is a community-driven initiative to guide the future development of northern Etobicoke. Through the mobilization of work groups addressing specific areas of concern such as environment, recreation, arts, culture, housing and employment, NERP seeks to make our community safe, clean, healthy and sustainable - a community to live in and be proud of.
Over the past several years, NERP has been successful in securing a number of project based grants from a variety of sources, such as Toronto Arts Council and Friends of the Environment. Currently, NERP receives funding from the Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, which supports the operation of a small office at Thistletown Multi Service Centre, two staff positions (project coordinator and administrative support worker), and a series of activities under the Labour Market Emergence Initiative (LMEI) project.
If you are interested in joining one of NERP's work groups or helping with one of our community projects, you can call or email the Project Coordinator, Judy Shum, at (416) 743-3753 or jshum_nerp@bellnet.ca
