About FoNTRA

Founded in February 2001 with 21 residents’ associations as members, the Federation of North Toronto Residents’ Associations (FoNTRA) is a not for profit organization now comprised of over 30 residents’ associations, which collectively include more than 175,000 Toronto residents within their boundaries. We believe that Toronto and Ontario can and should achieve better development. Its central issue is not whether Toronto will grow, but how. FoNTRA believes that sustainable urban regions are characterized by environmental balance, fiscal viability, infrastructure investment and social renewal.

FoNTRA is an association of member residents organizations, which are located in the City of Toronto generally between Bloor Street and Sheppard Avenue, and between the Don Valley Parkway and Bathurst Street.

FoNTRA’s mandate includes:

(1)  monitoring, investigating and working towards resolution of urban planning related issues and concerns raised by member residents associations;

(2) sharing best practices regarding urban planning;

(3) representing the interests of member organizations before public and private bodies and work constructively towards resolution of issues.
