Mayor Tory will present Patricia (Pat) Moore with a Key to the City for her tireless work to ensure that everyone in Toronto’s Flemingdon and Thorncliffe Park communities has a voice. The presentation will take place Saturday ( June 30) at 1:30 p.m. at Beth Nealson Dr. at Thorncliffe Park Dr. (northwest corner) at which time the westerly portion of Thorncliffe Park Dr. will be renamed Pat Moore Drive. A statement from the mayor said “Patricia Moore is extraordinary. She understands the real issues that face her neighbours and has the ambition and courage to take the lead so that they may be heard and positive change can happen,” said Mayor Tory. “Patricia is a role model to the youth of her community and her achievements speak plainly to the common good of all the people who live there. For her bold commitment to grassroots change and her nobility of character, I am proud to present Patricia Moore a Key to the City.” Pat Moore has lived in Flemingdon and Thorncliffe Park for more than 40 years. She is known as an advocate for the underdog on issues related to housing as well as youth and women’s rights. Over the years, her work has contributed to the creation of tenants associations that help to protect the rights of tenants as well as making more co-op housing available in the community. She has raised awareness of the need to stop violence against women and has created community programs to support the growing youth population in her neighbourhood.
