If you signed up to receive emails from LEF, and don’t see them in your regular inbox, chances are it probably went to your spam folder. You might think to yourself, “..but LEF is a legitimate entity, why would my inbox flag it as spam?”

Quilt on Weston: Sharing Our Vision with Community

13 May 2022

The Learning Enrichment Foundation has hosted four community co-design meetings on the Quilt on Weston thus far. The first meeting, held on March of 2021, shared the goals of the redevelopment and served as a brainstorming session on the overall vision. The second conversation with the community, in July of 2021, was dedicated to imagining the streetscape in front of the new building. Based on feedback provided from the first and second community consultations, LEF’s architect, LGA Architectural Partners, and planners, Gladki Planning Associates, prepared a number of design concepts. In October of 2021, various design concept elements were presented to the community to obtain their input.

More recently, on March 30th of 2022, LEF continued the neighbourhood discussion on the Quilt on Weston by holding a co-design session with the community to determine how the Quilt on Weston’s community space could best fulfill the community’s needs.
