  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

  • 281-289 College Street
    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 281-289 College Street Date: November 13, 2017 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division Wards: 20 - Trinity-Spadina SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 281-289 College Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the properties under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject properties are located on the south side of College Street, west of Spadina Avenue, and contain a group of five three-storey commercial buildings dating to 1887 that are known historically as the Alexandrina Block. The properties at 281-289 College Street were identified as having heritage potential in the College Street Study Official Plan Amendment, which was adopted by City Council at its meeting of May 24, 2017. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the properties at 281- 289 College Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their design, associative and contextual values. At the west end of the Alexandrina Block, the individual property at 289 College is currently the subject of a demolition application. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

  • Communication from Ric Amis
    May 31, 2021 Dear Members of The Toronto Executive Committee, Re: EX24.3 – Ontario Place Redevelopment Update I write as Chair of the West Side Community Council, an umbrella organization of thirteen West End community associations, in regard to agenda item number EX24.3, the proposal to City Council to approve the proposed "Province of Ontario - City of Toronto Engagement on the Future of Ontario Place and Exhibition Place Terms of Reference" as a means to continue and advance discussions with the Province of Ontario on the Ontario Place redevelopment. We support a joint venture between the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario to develop these publicly held lands in concert with and for the betterment of the citizens of Toronto and Ontario. This area by the waterfront is a destination district, appreciated not just locally and regionally but nationally and internationally. With all this focus comes pressures to develop and transform. Some of these will be desirable, but others not. We have several areas we would like to speak to: 1. That the Exhibition Place Master Plan and the Exhibition Place Strategic Plan continue to align and draw in Ontario Place to make this 347 acres in total on the Toronto waterfront a world-renowned centre-piece of good governance into the next century. 2. That there be an acknowledgement of the value of open green space for the health and well-being of Toronto residents. The increase in the population surrounding these two publicly owned lands has seen in the past 15 years 125,000 new residents and the future residents yet to come 3.

  • Queen Street West to Dupont Street: Zoning Amendment and Official Plan Amendment Direction – Final Report
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Bathurst Street – Queen Street West to Dupont Street: Zoning Amendment and Official Plan Amendment Direction – Final Report Date: May 29, 2014 To: Toronto and East York Community Council From: Director, Community Planning, Toronto and East York District Wards: Ward 19 – Trinity-Spadina Ward 20 – Trinity-Spadina Reference 14 155462 STE 19 OZ Number: SUMMARY City Planning has completed the Council-directed planning study focussing on built form and land use on both sides of Bathurst Street from Dupont to Queen Street ("Better Bathurst Study"). One of the key objectives of the study is to better define the role Bathurst plays as a boundary between the area formally designated as "Downtown and Central Waterfront" (Official Plan Chapter 2, Map 2) and the rest of the City. The motion can be found at the following link: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHi story.do?item=2012.TE17.57 The study examined the land uses, built-form, heritage, retail characteristics, public realm, and policy framework. Community consultation included four community meetings, one community workshop for the whole corridor, a visioning workshop for the Bathurst and Bloor four corners, and a survey on retail use and shopping patterns. The outcome of the Study is a recommendation to amend Zoning By-law 438-86 Section 12(2)270 to regulate retail and service uses. In Bathurst Street – Queen St W to Dupont Street - Final Report 1 V.05/13 addition, an Official Plan Amendment is recommended to introduce a site and area-specific Official Plan Policy that defines the existing elements of the street to be retained and enhanced along with direction for areas of the street than can accommodate change.
