  • Lease of the Palais Royale - Request for Proposals P-129-99.RFP (High Park)
    Lease of the Palais Royale - Request for Proposals P-129-99.RFP (High Park) (City Council on July 4, 5 and 6, 2000, adopted this Clause, without amendment.) The Economic Development and Parks Committee recommends the adoption of the following joint report (May 29, 2000) from the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer: Purpose: To seek approval for the negotiation and execution of an agreement for the lease of the Palais Royale with the recommended proponent, Shoreline Entertainment Corporation. Financial Implications and Impact Statement: The City is currently covering all operating and maintenance costs for the Palais Royale building through the 2000 Facilities Operating Budget.

This rent will begin to be fully realized in 2001 and will be reflected in the Parks and Recreation Operating Budget for next year. The Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer has reviewed this report and concurs with the financial impact statement. Recommendations: It is recommended that: (1) the proposal received from Shoreline Entertainment Corporation, the only acceptable proponent, in response to Request for Proposals P-129-99.RFP, for the lease of the Palais Royale, be accepted; (2) staff be authorized to negotiate and execute a lease agreement, in a form acceptable to the City Solicitor, with Shoreline Entertainment Corporation; and (3) the appropriate City officials be authorized and directed to take the necessary action to give effect thereto.

  • Lake Ontario Maritime Cultural Landscape
    LAKE ONTARIO MARITIME CULTURAL LANDSCAPE A Dissertation by BENJAMIN LOUIS FORD Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Major Subject: Anthropology LAKE ONTARIO MARITIME CULTURAL LANDSCAPE A Dissertation by BENJAMIN LOUIS FORD Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Approved by: Chair of Committee, Kevin Crisman Committee Members, Michael Alvard Donny Hamilton Jonathan Smith Head of Department, Donny Hamilton August 2009 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT Lake Ontario Maritime Cultural Landscape. (August 2009) Benjamin Louis Ford, B.A., University of Cincinnati; M.A., College of William and Mary Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kevin Crisman The goal of the Lake Ontario Maritime Cultural Landscape project was to investigate the nature and distribution of archaeological sites along the northeast shoreline of Lake Ontario while examining the environmental, political, and cultural factors that influenced the position of these sites. The primary method of investigation was a combined archaeological and historical survey of the shoreline within seven 1-km square areas. The archaeological component of the survey covered both the terrestrial and submerged portions of the shore through marine remote sensing (side-scan sonar and magnetometer), diving surveys, pedestrian surveys, and informant interviews. A total of 39 sites and 51 isolated finds were identified or further analyzed as a result of this project. These sites ranged from the Middle Archaic period (ca. 5500–2500 B.C.) through the 19th century and included habitation, military, transportation, and recreational sites.

  • Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 295 Indian Road
    TE34.212b REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 295 Indian Road Date: July 13, 2018 To: City Council From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Wards: Ward 14 - Parkdale-High Park SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the property at 295 Indian Road on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. Located on the east side of the street between Boustead and Radford avenues, south of Bloor Street West, the property at 295 Indian Road contains a 2½-storey detached house form building. The Paul Hahn House (1906) is valued as a fine representative example of Period Revival styling influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement as designed by the notable Toronto practitioner, Eden Smith. In 2016, the owners of 295 Indian Road requested that their property be designated under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act as a significant example from the portfolio of the notable architect, Eden Smith. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 295 Indian Road meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its design, associative and contextual value. The inclusion of the property at 295 Indian Road on the City's Heritage Register and its designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act would identify all of the property's cultural heritage value and heritage attributes.

  • North American Gentrification? Revanchist and Emancipatory Perspectives Explored
    Environment and Planning A 2004, volume 36, pages 1191 ^ 1213 DOI:10.1068/a368 North American gentrification? Revanchist and emancipatory perspectives explored Tom Slater Centre for Urban Studies, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol, 8 Priory Road, Bristol BS8 1TZ, England; e-mail: [email protected] Received 15 January 2003; in revised form 6 September 2003 Abstract. By offering a response to recent calls for a `geography of gentrification', the author attempts to move on from the intractable theoretical divisions and overgeneralizations that continue to pervade the gentrification literature. The research described in this paper takes the form of a comparative assessment of the gentrifying neighbourhoods of South Parkdale, Toronto, Canada, and Lower Park Slope, New York City, USA. A central part of this research has been an engagement with two contrasting academic discourses on gentrification, the `emancipatory city' (a Canadian construct) and the `revanchist city' (a US construct), to examine how gentrification may or may not have changed since these discourses were produced and articulated. The author combines narratives from in-depth interviews (with a particular focus on displaced tenants) with supplementary data from secondary sources and demonstrates that gentrification is neither emancipatory nor revanchist in either case. This has important implications for how gentrification is understood and evaluated in Canada and the USA. Although one can see crucial broad similarities both in the causes and in the effects of gentrifi- cation in each neighbourhood (which would appear to endorse casual references to `North American gentrification'), the process is also differentiated according to contextual factors, and the nuances of the gentrification process are illuminated and clarified by international comparison.

    Wednesday, May 4, 7:30 pm Rousseau Room - Swansea Town Hall SPEAKER: Hugh Barnett King George's War and the Lake Ontario frontier, 1744-1750 Visitors Welcome! Light Refreshments! The Swansea Historical Society thankfully acknowledges funding grants from the following provincial bodies: Please note: The speaker will start at 7:30 promptly. If there is a business meeting, it will start at 7:15. President's Message: by Bob Roden, President After an eventful and exciting year, the May 4 meeting will be our last formal meeting before the summer break. We will start up again in October with our Annual General Meeting and elections. In the meantime, we will be participating in several neighbourhood events, which we invite you to attend, including various guided historical walking tours. See “Future Events” for details. Looking ahead to the Society's Annual General Meeting (AGM) and elections in October, I want to remind you that we are a volunteer organization, and we can always use more help and fresh ideas. Some of us have served for several years on the Executive. Much as we enjoy the camaraderie, we feel the interests of the Society would be best served if we could plan to move on before passing our “best before” dates. In addition to filling jobs with ongoing responsibilities, we are also happy to welcome people on-board as “executive members without portfolio”, who may be called upon to participate in specific initiatives from time to time. Attendance at monthly Executive meetings is desirable, but not mandatory. Please give some thought as to how you could contribute even a small amount of your time and talent, and let us know of any ideas you might have.
