Sunnyside Garage Repairs complete

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the Sunnyside Garage Repairs for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, pending an exterior repair to the pedestrian bridge mid-May which will not impact occupancy of the garage.

Quick stats:

16 months of complex problem solving and collaborative decision making
310 parking spots repaired and re-opened
5,859 ft2 of concrete restored

The result: Safer access to the parking garage for everyone.

Your understanding during this time has been invaluable. This achievement would not have been possible without the commitment of our project team whose expertise and perseverance ensured we met our goals. A special thank you to the Parking Management, Security, Facilities, and Communications teams as well as the local community and stakeholders for your patience, support, and cooperation throughout the construction process.

With this work now complete, we look forward to seeing its positive impact serving patients, visitors and staff. We appreciate your trust and partnership, and look forward to working together on further restoration of the Sunnyside Garage.

Thank you once again for being a part of this journey!

Keeping Our Site Clean

St. Joseph’s is located in the heart of Roncesvalles, just steps from some of the city’s most vibrant residential and commercial streets. Whether you’re visiting the site to work, learn, receive care or visit a loved one, it’s important that we treat the site and community with kindness and respect. One way to do this is by keeping the neighbourhood clean. Please be mindful of your garbage and dispose of the following items properly:

Cigarette butts go in cigarette butt disposals on City of Toronto garbage cans
Masks and gloves go in garbage bins
Pop cans go in recycling bins
Organic waste should be placed in compost bins

Thank you for helping us keep Unity Health and our surrounding neighbourhoods clean. To learn more about how to dispose of various materials, please use the Waste Wizard on the City of Toronto website.
