In Tishrei 2009, after much effort, a new eruv was installed in southeast Toronto by emissary Rabbi Avraham Plotkin, connecting southeast Toronto with the rest of Toronto's eruv. Towards summer 2012, Camp Gan Israel Toronto was established in Haliburton, about a two-hour drive from Toronto (considered relatively close by Canadian standards). Before the camp's opening, Haliburton City Council renamed the street leading to Gan Israel grounds to "Gan Israel Trail."

In Menachem Av 2019, the Chabad "Noam Institute" inaugurated a mikvah. The city's emissary is Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Zaltzman. The main Chabad community is located in an area called "Chabad Gate" in the city's north, in the Thornhill-Vaughan area. Rabbi David Schochet serves as the community's rabbi there. In the second area, there is a smaller community alongside a large yeshiva led by the late Rabbi Akiva Wagner.
