  • Tall Buildings: up up and Away?
    expect the best Tall Buildings: Up Up and Away? by Marc Kemerer Originally published in Blaneys on Building (April 2011) There has been much debate about tall buildings (buildings over 12 storeys in height) in Toronto in the past number of years particularly due to the decreasing availability of development land, and the province and municipal forces on intensification – but how tall is too tall and where should tall buildings be permitted? Marc Kemerer is a municipal As we have reported previously, the City of Toronto continues to review proposals for tall towers partner at Blaney McMurtry , against its Tall Buildings Guidelines which set out standards for podiums, setbacks between sister with significant experience in towers and the like. Some of those Guidelines were incorporated into the City’s new comprehensive all aspects of municipal planning and development. zoning by-law (under appeal and subject to possible repeal by City Council - see the Planning Updates section of this issue) while the Guidelines themselves were renewed last year by City Marc may be reached directly Council for continued use in design review. at 416.593.2975 or [email protected]. Over the last couple of years the City has embarked on the “second phase” of its tall buildings review through the “Tall Buildings Downtown Project”. In connection with this phase, the City has recently released the study commissioned by the City on this topic entitled: “Tall Buildings: Inviting Change in Downtown Toronto” (the “Study”). The Study focused on three issues: where should tall buildings be located; how high should tall buildings be; and how should tall buildings behave in their context.

  • Renaming to the Toronto Zoo Road

Scarborough Community Council request the Director, Engineering Support Services & Construction Services and the Technical Services Division begin the process to review options for the renaming of Meadowvale Road between Highway 401 and Old Finch Avenue including those of a "honourary" nature. 2. Staff to report back to the February 2017 meeting The Toronto Zoo is the largest zoo in Canada attracting thousands of visitors annually becoming a landmark location in our City. Home to over 5,000 animals it is situated in a beautiful natural habitat in one of Canada's largest urban parks. Opening its doors on August 15, 1974 the Toronto Zoo has been able to adapt throughout the years developing a vision to "educate visitors on current conservation issues and help preserve the incredible biodiversity on the planet", through their work with endangered species, plans for a wildlife health centre and through their Research & Veterinary Programs. I believe it would be appropriate to introduce a honourary street name for the section of Meadowvale Road between Highway 401 and Old Finch Avenue to recognize the only public entrance to the Toronto Zoo.

  • Identity Politicking: New Candidacies and Representations in Contemporary Canadian Politics
    Identity Politicking: New Candidacies and Representations in Contemporary Canadian Politics by Teresa-Elise Maiolino A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto © Copyright by Teresa-Elise Maiolino 2017 Identity Politicking: New Candidacies and Representations in Contemporary Canadian Politics Teresa-Elise Maiolino Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This dissertation centres on the candidacies and leaderships of three politicians—Justin Trudeau, Olivia Chow, and Kathleen Wynne. It examines the ways in which gender, race, sexuality, and other salient aspects of politicians’ identities are strategically negotiated and mobilized by politicians, political actors, the media, and the grassroots. The cases herein question the extent to which identity matters in Canadian electoral politics at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels, bridging sociological understandings of power and authority with feminist analyses of identity. The project engages broadly with qualitative methods—discourse analysis, media analysis, participant observation, and interviewing. The research contributes to understandings of: (1) the durability of masculinity in Canadian electoral politics; (2) dispositional requirements for leaders; (3) the compensatory labour that minority politicians perform; (4) alignments and allegiances between politicians and grassroots movements. The first case of the dissertation examines media coverage of a charity-boxing match between Liberal Member of Parliament Justin Trudeau and Conservative Canadian Senator Patrick Brazeau. It offers the concept recuperative gender strategies to describe how political leaders work to restore their public gender identities. The second case is focused on the candidacy of visible minority Toronto mayoral candidate, Olivia Chow.

  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*
    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.
