The Golden Mile Impact Network (GMIN) is a group of community-based organizations and resident leaders that brings community voice and active participation in the process and work related to the Greater Golden Mile redevelopment.
GMIN has developed the Golden Mile Community Benefits Framework as a community-informed response to the anticipated large-scale, transit-oriented development precipitated by the construction of the Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit (LRT). The Golden Mile Benefits Framework is foundational for the Inclusive Local Economic Opportunity (ILEO) initiative and informs all the ILEO pilots and projects, including the Aecon-Golden Mile (A-GM) Joint Venture.
GMIN is supported by United Way Greater Toronto and led by Working Women Community Centre. Learn more here: https://www.workingwomencc.org/goldenmileimpact
