The land known as the Birch Cliff Quarry Lands is at the heart of confrontation between the community and two real-estate developers seeking to change the landscape of the area. One of the developers, The Conservatory Group has already decided what it's going to build. The other, Build Toronto, met with the community to get feedback on their plan.

The residents of Scarborough’s Birch Cliff community will not give up the fight over the planned development of high-rise towers on the quarry lands, according to the president of the Concerned Citizens of Quarry Land Development.
