    The Toronto Ghosts & Hauntings Research Society Present s… About This Document: Since early October of 1997, The Toronto Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society has been collecting Toronto’s ghostly legends and lore for our website and sharing the information with anyone with an interest in things that go bump in the night… or day… or any time, really. If it’s ghostly in nature, we try to stay on top of it. One of the more popular things for a person with a passion for all things spooky is to do a “ghost tour”… which is something that our group has never really offered and never planned to do… but it is something we get countless requests about especially during the Hallowe’en season. Although we appreciate and understand the value of a good guided ghost tour for both the theatrical qualities and for a fun story telling time and as such, we are happy to send people in Toronto to Richard Fiennes-Clinton at Muddy York Walking Tours (who offers the more theatrical tours focusing on ghosts and history, see Image Above Courtesy of Toronto Tourism www.muddyyorktours.com) We do also understand that at Hallowe’en, these types of tours can Self Guided Walking Tour of fill up quickly and leave people in the lurch. Also, there are people that cannot make time for these tours because of scheduling or other commitments. Another element to consider is that we know there are Downtown Toronto people out there who appreciate a more “DIY” (do it yourself) flavour for things… so we have developed this booklet… This is a “DIY” ghost tour… self guided… from Union Station to Bloor Street….

  • A Grand Experiment in Municipal Governance Toronto's Board Of
    A Grand Experiment In Municipal Governance Toronto's Board of Management, 1996-97 MPA Research Report J0 Submitted to The Local Government Program Department of Political Science The University of Western Ontario August 2003 David Hutcheon /0 Abstract During the penultimate term of the old City of Toronto municipal government (1994- 1997) before it was replaced by the Megacity, an amalgamation of seven municipalities, the City of Toronto council replaced a hierarchical system of governance with a new governance model called the Board of Management. The Toronto Board of Management was born out of the hard-headed political reality of council having to take charge of the budget process by taking it out of the hands of the then established bureaucracy during the rapidly deteriorating fiscal crisis of the 1990. This led to the realisation that the departmental model of governance just did not work anymore and could not respond corporately to the fiscal crisis. The inspiration for the Toronto Board of Management model came out of the City's own heritage and Western Canada's governance model, the 0 Board of Commissioners. Toronto has a heritage of evolving governance models that increase the participation of democratically elected representatives in local government while balancing the power and influence of the mayor, council and civil servants. It is the civil servants' responsibility to give their best advice to council and even though their advice may be ignored, to follow council's direction. It is council's job to receive advice and give direction. Theoretically there is no crossover. However, in reality staff and councils wrestle with this notion of direction every time a decision is made.

  • The Queen's Rangers the Queen's Rangers
    The Queen's Rangers The Queen's Rangers This pamphlet is issued in connection with the presentation of the colours of the Queen's Rangers to the Public Library of Toronto, by Mr. Frederick B. Robins of that city. PREFACE When the Queen's Rangers were disbanded at the close of the War of the American Revolution, the colours of the regiment, in accordance with the custom of that time, were deposited with the Colonel, John Graves Simcoe. When he retired to his estate at Wolford near Honiton in Devonshire, he hung the colours in the Great Hall and there they remained until a few months ago, when through the interest, liberality and public spirit of Mr. Frederick B. Robins of Toronto, their removal to Canada and to Toronto was made possible. This was the suitable place for the colours which Simcoe prized so highly. He was the first Governor of Upper Canada and we might call him the founder of Toronto. The Public Reference Library has a collection of prints and documents illustrating his life and his conduct of public affairs in Canada and so the colours have found a real home. That our people may know who the Queen's Rangers were and lest there be some who might confuse the Queen's Rangers of the Simcoe administration in Canada with the Queen's Rangers of the Revolution, or lest still further confusion might arise from the fact that there was a regiment of Queen's Rangers in the Rebellion of 1837, we are reprinting the address on the Queen's Rangers given at the meeting of the Ontario Historical Association at Kingston in June.

  • “Hire the Handicapped!” Disability Rights, Economic Integration and Working Lives in Toronto, Ontario, 1962-2005
    i “HIRE THE HANDICAPPED!” DISABILITY RIGHTS, ECONOMIC INTEGRATION AND WORKING LIVES IN TORONTO, ONTARIO, 1962-2005 DUSTIN GALER A THESIS SUBMITTED IN CONFORMITY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO © by Dustin Galer JUNE 2014 ii “Hire the Handicapped!” Disability Rights, Economic Integration and Working Lives in Toronto, Ontario, 1962-2005 Dustin Galer Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This dissertation, “‘Hire the Handicapped!’: Disability Rights, Economic Integration and Working Lives in Toronto, Ontario, 1962-2005,” argues that work significantly shaped the experience of disability during this period. Barriers to mainstream employment opportunities gave rise to multiple disability movements that challenged the social and economic framework which marginalized generations of people with disabilities. Using a critical analysis of disability in archival records, personal collections, government publications and a series of interviews, I demonstrate how demands for greater access among disabled people to paid employment stimulated the development of a new discourse of disability in Canada. Including disability as a variable in historical research reveals how family advocates helped people living in institutions move out into the community and rehabilitation professionals played an increasingly critical role in the lives of working-age adults with disabilities, civil rights activists crafted a new consumer- led vision of social and economic integration. Separated by different philosophies and bases of support, disability activists and allies found a common purpose in their pursuit of economic integration. iii The focus on employment issues among increasingly influential disability activists during this period prompted responses from three key players in the Canadian labour market.
