MUNICIPAL AND GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS (MAGA)
The BVA Municipal and Government Affairs Committee:

-
Presents the Association’s viewpoint to relevant government bodies
-
Advises the Executive and members of the Association of new municipal and government developments.
Bayview Village Association (BVA), through MAGA, has represented residents concerns over development for many years. Their work has brought about numerous changes to developers' plans – resulting in better designs, safer streets, and advantages to our community. While developers have large resources behind them, MAGA consists of hard working dedicated volunteers.
BVA is actively vigilant about new developments. Having understood the City’s determination to recover the investment in the Sheppard Subway, and the Province’s Policy on Intensification, it is a very hard and lengthy process to reduce or modify proposed developments to not only adhere to the Shepppard Corridor Secondary Plan, but also to minimize negative impacts on Bayview Village. Deviations from the Plan in one development tend to erode this standard in future developments. We have persevered to work towards solutions that are at the very least palatable, if not elegant.
