Pics taken in November but I've walked by Dufferin Grove Park recently and the status of the community centre is still around the same:

Ongoing progress of the community centre and park improvements. I believe the scaffolding is for a new zamboni storage structure:

The DufferinDovercourt Village neighbourhood was Canada’s fastest-growing area for new music creators in 2021, according to data collected by the Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).

The list was determined by analyzing the number of songwriters, composers, and music publishers who became SOCAN members in 2021 per sortation area, according to the first three characters of Canadian postal codes, with populations of 20,000 or more.
 
North of Bloor by a little bit, but I'll just slot this in here:

Any indication if the project is being done in-house?

I see the gazebo in Kew Gardens in the Beach is being 'restored' by City staff.........

They are doing real work.......but 'Time is money' is not a philosophy in evidence on the job thus far.
