 Highland Creek is an east Scarborough neighbourhood surrounding the Highland Creek water system. Our heritage neighbourhood borders Lake Ontario to the south and The Rouge National Park to the north.   At the heart of our neighbourhood is Highland Creek Village, a commercial village centre with roots dating back to the mid 1800’s.  In the 1850's, Highland Creek was the largest residential and business centre in the former Township of Scarborough. Highland Creek was officially recognized as a community in 1852, when it was granted its own post office.    A little more of  Our Vast History...

Highland Creek Development Survey    
Proposed developments in Highland Creek have residents concerned as to the future of our Heritage neighbourhood.

Results of the Highland Creek Development Survey were shared with City Planner Sophie Knowles and Christian Ventresca, Ward 25 City Councillor Jennifer McKelvie,  within the August 2020  Highland Creek Villager News.
