Minto Midtown

The local ward councilor, Michael Walker, kicked the developer out of his office when approached with the proposal and remained steadfastly against the project.

Walker had the backing of a number of neighborhood groups, especially the North Toronto Tenants Network.

After delays and the city's plans to reject the project, Minto appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board.

[5][6] Minto reached an agreement with city council, by reducing the height by several storeys, providing CAD $1.2 Million for social housing, and $200,000 for transit connections.

Incumbent city councillor Anne Johnston had helped broker the compromise that approved the towers.
