The ground-breaking finally took place on December 18, 2015, attended by representatives from the City, Stucor the construction company, Chairperson for the project Lion Ken HENDERSON, Freelton Lions Club members, and representatives from the community including young children who are looking forward to skating on it this winter. Charter Member Lion Frank JAMIESON performed the honours with the shovel. For many years he took on the task of making and maintaining a rink for the children every winter. This new facility should extend the skating season when the weather may not be the most co-operative. The project is now almost completed except for finishing touches, and they expect the keys to be turned over to the city in early October. After final inspection and assurance that everything is functioning properly, the Freelton Lions Club looks forward to inviting the community to join them in an open house celebration. The Lions have also upgraded the sign at the Freelton Community Park to an electronic type, which bears the Lions symbol, and “The Freelton Lions Club”. It is being programmed with a series of welcoming messages, and will be used to advertise local community activities. Freelton Lions are proud to complete these projects for LCI’s Centennial Year.

Having recently recommended to the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering that they increase their activities in heritage bridge conservation, I was happy to participate in this inventory project as such initiatives highlight the significant and often overlooked relationship between engineering advancements and our cultural heritage. Over time the widespread loss of heritage bridges has occurred for a variety of reasons: deterioration, changes in highway requirements, or damage by storms like Hurricane Hazel. Today, however, with increasing attention towards cultural heritage, creative solutions are being explored for preserving heritage bridges. Protecting, conserving and celebrating our heritage bridges contributes to not only a greater understanding of the development of approaches to modern day engineering but also marks our progress as a nation, from early settlement to today’s modern and progressive communities.

  • Elm Bank (Circa 1834)
    REASONS FOR DESIGNATION ATTACHMENT NO. 3 19 Jason Road: Elm Bank (circa 1834) Description The property at 19 Jason Road is worthy of designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value or interest, and meets the criteria for municipal designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario under the categories of design, historical and contextual value. Located on the south side of Jason Road in the area southeast of Islington Avenue and Albion Road in Etobicoke, the 1½-storey house form building and the adjoining residential structure at 23 Jason Road (completed prior to 1820) are together known as “Elm Bank.” Historical records indicate that the building at 19 Jason Road was constructed circa 1834 for John Grubb. The property is listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value Design or Physical Value: Elm Bank (circa 1834) is a rare surviving example of a Regency Cottage in Toronto. The Regency style is named for the future King George IV, who reigned as the Prince Regent from 1811 to 1820 when he commissioned the Royal Pavilion in Brighton, England. This remarkable palace, which incorporated elements from Colonial dwellings in India and China, was interpreted in more modest residential buildings in Upper Canada (Ontario). The typical Regency Cottage featured a low profile, shallow-pitched hipped roof with tall chimneys, oversized French-style windows and verandah, all designed to extend the building physically and visually into the surrounding landscape. The Georgian organization with a symmetrical façade, central entrance and paired window openings was retained, with trim reflecting early 19th century Classical styling.

  • Thistletown Regional Centre Heritage Crisanti
    June 10, 2014 Etobicoke York Community Council via email: [email protected] Dear colleagues, RE: Request for Heritage Review – 51 Panorama Court Several months ago, the Provincial Government indicated it would end service at the Thistletown Regional Centre, a treatment facility for adolescents and youth. I am writing to request your support in ensuring the heritage value of this facility is appropriately protected. The Thistletown Regional Centre was designed by leading Toronto architectural firm Sproatt and Rolph, which built some of the most successful and renowned landmarks of Canadian architecture between 1899 and 1934. It is an excellent example of the Modern Classical architectural style that became popular during the 1920s and 1930s, especially for corporate, industrial and government buildings. The property’s history contributes to an understanding of several different aspects of children’s medicine and how treatment philosophies and methods have changed over the course of the 20th Century. As a children’s hospital, it tells the story of how sun and fresh air were used to treat many diseases for which there was nothing else available, and how this type of convalescent hospital became unnecessary as medicine advanced. As the first children’s mental health centre in Ontario, the building tells the story of how advances in the field have improved psychiatric treatment over the years. In addition, this building is the only known building designed by the architectural firm of Sproatt and Rolph in Etobicoke. RECOMMENDATION: 1. Etobicoke York Community Council direct Heritage Preservation Services to investigate the potential of including the buildings at the Thistletown Regional Centre at 51 Panorama Court on the inventory of heritage properties and report back to the September 10, 2013 meeting of the Etobicoke York Community Council.

  • A Textual Analysis of Newspapers, Madness, and the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital
    CRITICAL DISABILITY DISCOURSES/ DISCOURS CRITIQUES DANS LE CHAMP DU HANDICAP 8 98 A Textual Analysis of Newspapers, Madness, and the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Kevin Jackson* York University; Toronto Disability Pride March (TDPM) [email protected] Abstract Since the development of news media in North America, representations of mental illness have been a preeminent feature of news stories. These representations are key to understanding the intricacies of Mad people’s history, their marginalization, and their disenfranchisement. This paper provides asylum researchers with a simple yet effective strategy for examining how Mad people were portrayed in the Canadian asylum era by applying a qualitative textual analysis method to examine newspapers’ negative representations of “mad people” who were inmates at the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital in Etobicoke, Ontario. Drawing themes from a cross-section of relevant newspaper stories, this paper identifies the ways in which Mad people were –and continue to be – projected and perceived and how that has – or has not – changed over time. As a result, findings work to counteract many damaging and false perspectives adopted by newspapers and challenge the common belief that Mad people are inherently dangerous and thus deserving of incarceration. Keywords: Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital; Mimico Asylum; Mad history; news media; post-structural textual analysis * Kevin is one of the key organizers of the Toronto Disability Pride March (TDPM). Formerly, Kevin has been the Vice- chair of the Ethno-Racial People with Disabilities Coalition of Ontario (ERDCO), board member of the Canadian Disability Studies Association (CDSA-ACEI), Chair of the Psychiatric Survivor Archives of Toronto (PSAT), member of the Lakeshore Asylum Cemetery Project (LACP) and a Mad Pride (2011) organizer.

The purpose of this research is to identify the conditions, constraints and opportunities of the Rexdale Employment Area and develop the groundwork for a Secondary Plan. The first phase of this research project involves conducting a literature review of suburban industry and collecting historical information on Rexdale's employment lands.
