Save Sneaky Dee's. Stop the Gentrification. Save our Music.

The Issue

We are losing Sneaky Dee's - a popular music and social venue - to developers.

A Development Application was put forward on September 4, 2020 for 419 College (near Bathurst). 

According to the proposal, the developers want to build a "13-storey mixed-use building with retail/commercial at grade. The proposal consists of a total of 169 dwelling units and 13,009.1 square metres of combined residential and non-residential gross floor area."

Many local journalists and musicians have reported that this signifies the beginning of the end of our beloved music venue.

So many people are talking about it, it has begun to trend on Twitter. Many point to how the venue served as a rite of passage for many young people stepping into Toronto's Music Scene.

We have already lost other important venues in Toronto:
- The Hideout
- Coalition
- Silver Dollar
- The Central
- Many More

We can't afford to lose another one.

SIGN AND SHARE THIS PETITION.
