Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street (Part of Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4, Registered Plan 62), City of Toronto, Ontario

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Preliminary Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, in the City of Toronto, has been carried out in support of an application for its proposed redevelopment. The preliminary assessment has entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the property, and its nineteenth- and twentieth-century development history, as reflected on nineteenth- and twentieth century mapping and the general character of the neighbourhood. A complete land use history of the property will be compiled for the final assessment report. In the meantime, it is concluded that there is no potential for the presence of significant precontact or Euro-Canadian archaeological resources that may be impacted by site preparation or construction activities necessitated by the proposed redevelopment. This conclusion is based on the extensive alterations that have occurred on the property through the twentieth century. Accordingly, this report recommends that the undertaking be cleared of any further archaeological concern, with the proviso that the appropriate authorities must be notified should deeply buried archaeological or human remains be encountered during any future work on the property.

1.0 PROJECT CONTEXT

1.1 Development Context

Archaeological Services Inc.(ASI) was retained by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects to conduct a Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of the proposed redevelopment of 203 Jarvis Street, located on the northeast corner of Jarvis and Shuter streets in the City of Toronto (Figure 1). The subject property encompasses approximately 0.09 hectare.

This assessment, required as a condition of site plan and rezoning applications for a proposed mixed use development on the property, is being conducted under the project management of David Robertson and direction of Thanos Webb (MTCS PIF P400-0027-2015), as required by the Ontario Planning Act. All activities carried out during this assessment are being completed in accordance with the terms of the Ontario Heritage Act and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture’s (now Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport) 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011). This report is a summary of work to date and is preliminary.

Permission to access the subject property and to carry out all necessary activities necessary for the completion of the assessment was granted by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects on November 2, 2015.

2.0 HISTORICAL CONTEXT

2.1 Background

The subject property consists of part of the former Park Lot 6 in the First Concession from the Bay in the Township of York. The modern address is 203 Jarvis Street and comprises parts of Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 on Registered Plan 62.

The land which comprises the former York Township was alienated by the British from the native Mississaugas by provisional treaty number 13, known as the “Toronto Purchase,” dated at the Bay of Quinte on September 23, 1787. Due to certain irregularities contained in the original document, this purchase was confirmed by a second treaty dated August 1, 1805. Between 1784 and 1792, this part of southern Ontario formed a part of the judicial District of Montreal in the Province of Quebec (Anonymous 1891 vol. 1:32-35).

The first township survey was undertaken by Augustus Jones in 1791, when the base line was established. The name proposed for this tract of land was “Dublin Township.” Two surveys for a town plot at Toronto had been made by Gother Mann and Alexander Aitkin as early as 1788. These plans were not used, and a new survey for the Old Town of York was undertaken by Alexander Aitkin in the summer of 1793. This plan consisted of just ten blocks, bounded by George, Adelaide, Parliament and Front Streets. By the summer of 1797, the survey of the town had been enlarged and included land as far north as Lot (Queen) Street, and westward to Peter Street (Winearls 1991:591; Firth 1962:11, 21).

At that time it was announced that York had been selected as the temporary capital of , and all government officers were required to relocate from the town of Newark (now Niagara-on-the-Lake) to

Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, City of Toronto, Ontario PRELIMINARY REPORT Page 2

the north shore of the lake. Some officials, such as William Jarvis, were reluctant to abandon the homes and property which they had improved in Niagara. Large blocks of land called “Park Lots” were set aside, which extended between Queen and Bloor streets. These park lots were granted to members of the Family Compact and to those who were friendly towards the government, partly as an incentive for them to move, and also as partial compensation for any losses which they might sustain thereby.

The original “Old Town” of York, laid out in 1793, only extended as far west as New or Jarvis Street. In June 1797, the survey of the town was extended further westward to York Street, and then to Peter Street by a second survey. The original northerly limit of the city was established at Lot or Queen Street. Peter Russell objected to this enlargement of the town. He felt that it would “be impossible to prevail upon the Inhabitants to build near each, and years might elapse in Consequence before the place would assume even the appearance of a Town.” The inhabitants who did build houses would be thinly scattered, and expenses such as the maintenance of roads and sewers “would fall heavy upon those who shall have Houses even in this confined space.” Russell predicted that York “might remain for ever an Ugly, Miry, unhealthy swamp.” Russell recommended without success to Chief Justice John Elmsley that the “new town” could be surveyed and the land held in reserve by the government, and only extended westward “as the Population may call for it.” A sketch map of this survey was compiled by surveyor John Stegmann in April 1801 (Robertson 1908:46; Firth 1962:43).

The Town and Township were re-named by Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe in 1792, either after the County of Yorkshire in England, or as a compliment to Prince Frederick, who was then the Duke of York (Gardiner 1899:216-217). Family tradition relates that the name “York” was suggested by Captain John Denison, an early brewer in the town, who is said to have told Simcoe that “No Yorkshireman would live in a place called Dublin.” Simcoe asked Denison what would be a better name for the capital, to which Denison replied that he would settle in the new town if it was called “York.” The name of the town reverted back to “Toronto” when the settlement was elevated to the status of a city in 1834 (Martyn 1980:28-30).

The town and township comprised part of the East Riding of York in the Home District which, between 1792 and 1800, was administered from Niagara. Unofficially, plans were forwarded for York as the capital of Upper Canada in the winter of 1796. However it was not until February 1798 that it was selected as the “seat of Government on mature deliberation” by the Duke of Portland (Firth 1962:24, 47). On January 1, 1800, the Home District was elevated into a separate administrative district from Niagara. Following the abolition of the Districts in 1849, the Home District was succeeded by the United Counties of York, Peel and Ontario in 1850. Ontario and Peel were elevated to separate county status in 1851-1852 (Armstrong 1985:143).

In 1805, it was noted that the town “is much increased within the last two or three years, and several very good houses have been built by the different officers of government. The society of the place is highly respectable, and its hospitality is experienced by every visitor.” Other public buildings, such as the court house and House of Assembly, had not been fully completed. The gaol was a “tolerable building, and in a healthy situation.” The town was “well furnished with every necessary convenience, and the market is well supplied.” The private stores were “very respectable” but the prices “rather high.” The streets were “tolerably uniform, and exhibit a handsome prospect from the lake.” The society in York was “highly respectable, and its hospitality is experienced by every visitor” (Boulton 1805:43-45; Smith 1846:225).

The population of the Town increased gradually before the War of 1812, but showed a significant growth during the 1820s. In 1797, for instance, the total number of inhabitants within the town was estimated at

Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, City of Toronto, Ontario PRELIMINARY REPORT Page 3

212 persons. Within the space of one decade, this number had doubled to 414. By 1824-1825, the town contained 1,679 residents. By 1834, when Toronto was incorporated as a city, the population had reached 9,254, and by 1845 this number had doubled again to 19,706 (Walton 1837:41; Smith 1846:193; Mosser 1984:7, 67, 157).

2.1.1 Park Lot 6

In the early 1790s, the British surveyed large 200 acre (80.93 ha) farms called “Park Lots” that were laid out in the rear of the Town of York, and granted to members of the governing elite as partial compensation for improvements to lands made and abandoned in Niagara during the capital years between 1792 and 1796. Park Lot 6 was patented by William Jarvis in 1811.

William Jarvis (b. Sept. 1756) was a native of Stamford, Connecticut and the son of Samuel and Martha (Seymour) Jarvis. He joined the Queen’s Rangers in 1777, eventually rising to the rank of coronet. Jarvis saw action throughout the American Revolutionary War, and was wounded in Virginia in 1781. He returned to his home on half-pay in 1782 or 1783, but could no longer remain there due to the hostility shown towards the Loyalists. He travelled to England in 1784, and there he was married to Hannah Owen Peters (Jan. 1763-Sept. 1845), the daughter the Rev. Samuel Peters of Hebron, Connecticut, in December 1785. Jarvis secured the patronage of John Graves Simcoe, and he was recommended in 1791 for the position of Provincial Secretary and Registrar for Upper Canada. Jarvis and his family arrived at Niagara in the summer of 1792, where they resided for the next five or six years. In 1794, Jarvis was accused of being the author of a squib or political lampoon called the “Beggar’s Opera or Highland Farce” which maligned various members of the government although the charges could not be substantiated. After constructing a home at Niagara, Jarvis was reluctant to relocate his office to the Town of York. He finally did move after a great deal of coercion on the part of the government, and following the destruction of his house by fire in December 1796. Jarvis was in conflict with various (English born) members of the government, partly over his job performance but also over the financial affairs of his office. William Dummer Powell described Jarvis as a “distressed Man who has no duties to perform which call for Energy.” Jarvis as secretary and registrar was responsible for the cost of paper, parchment, ink, sealing wax, and record books for his office. It was understood that his annual salary of £300 would be augmented by a percentage of the fees collected for each land patent that he issued. However, the attorney general claimed to be entitled to one-half of the patent fees as the “legal counsel” for the province. As a result, Jarvis made little profit from the fees after deducting the cost of his office disbursements. It is no wonder that his wife Hannah came to regard the other members of the Family Compact as a group of “pimps, sycophants and lyars.” She referred to Peter Russell as “the old rogue,” and Mrs. Simcoe as a “little stuttering vixon [vixen.]” Jarvis was eventually awarded £1,000 by the government as a partial recompense for his lost fees and office expenses in 1815. Nevertheless, Jarvis lived well in the Town of York. He built a large frame dwelling for his family at the corner of Caroline and Duke streets (now Sherbourne and Adelaide) which was staffed by six slaves. The Jarvis family owned one of the first carriages in the Town of York which became a source of jealousy and envy for other members of the governing elite. Jarvis retained his connection with the military, and served as a colonel in the York Militia. He was appointed as a magistrate for the Home District in January 1800, and he was chairman for the Court of Quarter Sessions from 1801-1806. He unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the provincial election in 1800, and secretly wished for a seat on the Executive Council but was “too proud to ask” for that prize. Jarvis staged one of the first fox hunts in York, on what is now the Toronto Island, in 1801. Jarvis held a variety of other minor positions, and was the grand master in the first Freemason’s Lodge established in the province in 1792. Jarvis and his wife raised a family of seven children. He died at York on August 13,

1817. A few years afterwards, his widow returned to Niagara where she resided in “genteel poverty” with her daughter at Queenston until her death (Upper Canada Gazette, Dec. 7, 1796; Gazette, Feb. 14, 1801; Kingston Gazette, Aug. 19, 1817; Chadwick 1894:122-126; Firth 1962:315).

After William Jarvis’ death, his son, Samuel Peters Jarvis (b. Nov. 1792), inherited Park Lot 6. He was a native of the Town of Newark (Niagara-on-the-Lake), and the eldest surviving son of William and Hannah Owen Peters Jarvis. Jarvis was educated by the Rev. Strachan at Cornwall, and he later studied law under Attorney General William Firth. During the War of 1812, Jarvis served in the 3rd Regiment of York Militia, and was present at the battles of Detroit, Queenston, Stoney Creek and Lundy’s Lane. He was one of the pallbearers for Lieutenant-Colonel John Macdonell in October 1812. Jarvis also took part on the side of the government during the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837-1838. He was called to the bar as a barrister in Trinity term of 1815. Jarvis was one of the principals in the duel with John Ridout, in which the latter was killed in July 1817. Jarvis was appointed acting provincial secretary in 1817, and as deputy provincial secretary between 1827 and 1839. He served as Clerk of the Crown in Chancery from 1817 until 1837. Jarvis resided at Niagara where he practiced law between 1818 and 1824, after which he returned to York. In June 1826, he took part as leader in the Types Riot, in which ’s printing office was ransacked. Although his actions were deemed “very imprudent,” he was nevertheless advanced through various government departments. In June 1837, Jarvis was appointed to serve as the Chief Superintendent of Indian Affairs in Upper Canada. He held this position until June 1845, when he was dismissed over financial irregularities—owing the government an amount estimated at somewhere between £4,000 and £9,000. Jarvis inherited his father’s Park Lot 6, upon which he constructed a comfortable family home in 1824 which was known as Hazelburn. Following his dismissal from the Indian Department, Jarvis was forced to subdivide his Park Lot 6 in order to repay his government debt (Plate 2). Much of Hazelburn was demolished in order to make room for the construction of Jarvis Street through the former estate lands. Jarvis was married to Mary Boyles Powell (1790-1884), the daughter of Chief Justice William Dummer Powell, in October 1818 and they raised a family of nine children. Jarvis died in Toronto on September 6, 1857 (Chadwick 1894:124-126; Firth 1962; Firth 1966; Armstrong 1985:44-45, 113, 128; Leighton and Burns 1985:430-433; Lundell 1997:54- 55.)

2.2 City Directories

City directories were published irregularly between 1833 and 1868-1869, and annually thereafter. All of the available directories that included street directories were consulted to 1880, and thereafter generally at five-year intervals. The last directory searched was that of 2000. Note that the street numbering changed periodically. Entries in bold italics for the listings are the owners or occupants of parts of the subject property.

2.3 Historical Map Sources

Nineteenth and twentieth century maps clearly show the development of the subject property during the past two centuries.

Both Phillpotts’ 1818 Plan of York and Cane’s 1842 Topographical Plan…show that subject property lacked structures before it was subdivided into building lots as evident in the Dennis and Fleming Topographical Plan… of 1851. The Boulton and Boulton atlas mapping of 1858 identifies three structures within the subject property: a two storey brick structure at the corner of Jarvis and Shuter streets, a second two storey brick structure fronting Shuter Street to the south and the property line to east and a single storey roughcast structure adjoining the aforementioned brick structures (Figure 2). According to the 1856 City Directory, the structures were occupied by Nordheimer family followed by others until 1880 when Dr. W.S. Clark appears both in the city directory and the Goad’ Atlas.

The 1880 edition of the Goad’s Atlas (Figure 2) shows that one roughcast and four brick structures were newly built on the subject property. Dr. Clark’s house at 201 Jarvis Street was enlarged by an additional brick structure on the north side of the house fronting Jarvis Street. These structures remained on the subject property until the mid-twentieth century when the house on 201 Jarvis Street was razed and a service station was built (Figure 2). In the mid 1960s, the city directories show that remaining brick structures on 203 and 205 Jarvis were demolished to enlarge the gas station.

3.0 ARCHAEOLOGICAL CONTEXT

3.1 Physiographic Setting

The urban core of the City of Toronto has been extensively modified over the past 200 years. The subject property lies within the Iroquois Plain physiographic region (Chapman and Putnam 1984), which is the former bed of glacial Lake Iroquois. In the Toronto area, the Lake Iroquois strand is situated approximately 4.5 km inland from the current Lake Ontario shore. Below the strand, the Quaternary sediments are dominated by outwash sands typical of nearshore deposits. The balance of the plain, towards the modern lake shore, is dominated by fine sediments of silt and clay, typical of off-shore deposits, overlying till (Gravenor 1957; Chapman and Putnam 1984).

Glacial Lake Iroquois came into existence by about 12,000 B.P, as the Ontario lobe of the Wisconsin glacier retreated from the Lake Ontario basin. Isostatic uplift of its outlet, combined with blockage of

Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, City of Toronto, Ontario PRELIMINARY REPORT Page 10

subsequent lower outlets by glacial ice, produced a water plane substantially higher than modern Lake Ontario. Beginning around 12,000 B.P., water levels dropped stepwise during the next few centuries in response to sill elevations at the changing outlet. By about 11,500 B.P., when the St. Lawrence River outlet became established, the initial phase of Lake Ontario began, and this low water phase appears to have lasted until at least 10,500 B.P. At that time the waters stood approximately 100 m below the current level, but isostatic uplift was already raising the outlet at Kingston so that by 10,000 B.P., the water level had risen to about 80 m below the present level. Uplift since then has continued to tilt Lake Ontario upward to the northeast, propagating a gradual transgressive expansion throughout the basin, flooding the mouths of the creeks and rivers that rim the basin (Karrow 1967:49; Anderson and Lewis 1985; Karrow and Warner 1990).

The forests which stood in this portion of the city, prior to nineteenth-century clearance, had become established shortly after 7,000 B.P. Under median moisture regimes and eco-climates the climax forest of the downtown Toronto region was likely co-dominated by hard maple (Acer saccharum) and beech (Fagus grandifolia), in association with basswood (Tilia americana), red oak (Quercus rubra), white oak (Quercus alba), shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) and bitternut hickory (C. cordiformis) (Hills 1958; Burgar 1993).

3.2 Previous Archaeological Research

In order that an inventory of archaeological resources could be compiled for the subject property and surrounding area, three sources of information were consulted: the site record forms for registered sites housed at the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS); published and unpublished documentary sources; and files located at Archaeological Services Inc.

In Ontario, information concerning archaeological sites is stored in the Ontario Archaeological Sites Database (OASD) maintained by the MTCS. This database contains archaeological sites registered within the Borden system. Under the Borden system, Canada is divided into grid blocks based on latitude and longitude. A Borden block is approximately 13 km east to west, and approximately 18.5 km north to south. Each Borden block is referenced by a four-letter designator, and sites within a Borden block are numbered sequentially as they are found. The subject property is located in Borden block AjGu.

No archaeological sites have been registered within the limits of the subject property. Ten sites have been documented within approximately one kilometre of the subject property’s boundaries (Table 1), all of which are related to the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century development of the City of Toronto (Table 1).

ARA=Archaeological Research Associates OHT=Ontario Heritage Trust

A number of archaeological assessments have been carried out in the vicinity of the subject property, but not on lands contiguous with it. In any case, given the highly variable character of historical land uses and accompanying taphonomic processes, the findings any assessments that have been conducted within the area, but do not treat with the subject property specifically, are of no relevance to the current study.

3.3 The Predevelopment Landscape and Modelling Aboriginal Archaeological Resource Potential

Water is arguably the single most important resource necessary for any extended human occupation or settlement. Since water sources have remained relatively stable in southern Ontario after the Pleistocene era, proximity to water can be regarded as the primary indicator of archaeological site potential. Accordingly, distance to water is one of the most commonly used variables for predictive modelling of archaeological site location.

The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:17-18) stipulate that undisturbed lands within 300 m of primary water sources (lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, etc.), secondary water sources (intermittent streams and creeks, springs, marshes, swamps, etc.), ancient water sources, and the shorelines of extant or former waterbodies are considered, at a generic level, to exhibit archaeological potential. A variety of other criteria that may indicate potential are also identified in the MTCS document, however, they are not relevant to the subject property or cannot be reconstructed given the urban context in which the property occurs.

The generic MTCS distance to water potential model has been refined for the City of Toronto, as part of the City’s Archaeological Management Plan, currently in development. According to the Interim Master Plan of Archaeological Resources for the City of Toronto (ASI 2004), undisturbed lands within 250 m of an extant or formerly mapped river or creek, or within 250 m of the pre-development shoreline of Lake Ontario, have potential for the presence of precontact Aboriginal archaeological sites. In addition, this potential zone is extended to any floodplain lands, and to lands in close proximity to the Lake Iroquois strand (i.e., lands above and within 200 m of the strand, or below and within 100 m of the strand).

While no extant watercourses flow within this portion of the city today, early maps such as Phillpotts’ 1818 Plan of York and Cane’s 1842 Topographical Plan…(Figure 2) show that tributaries of Taddle

Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, City of Toronto, Ontario PRELIMINARY REPORT Page 12

Creek lay approximately 150 metres to both the north and south of the subject property. These features were buried during the mid-nineteenth century.

3.4 Existing Conditions

A property inspection was conducted on November 6, 2015, in order to refine the basic understanding of the archaeological potential of the subject property (Figure 3, Plate 1) and to determine the degree to which development and landscape alteration may affect that potential. The weather on the day was appropriate, being mixed sun and cloud with mild temperatures.

The subject property is currently an open asphalted parking lot.

4.0 ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS

The evaluation of the possibility for the survival of any archaeological resources of potential cultural heritage value must take into account a number of taphonomic considerations in addition to the basic historical sequence of developments, demolitions, and general patterns of change in property use outlined in Sections 2.0 and 3.0.

4.1 Aboriginal Archaeological Resource Potential

As noted in Section 3.3, the subject property is located approximately 150 metres from two former streams that were part of the Taddle Creek watershed. Therefore, the property falls within an area of potential for the presence of precontact or early contact period Aboriginal archaeological resources according to both the Toronto Archaeological Management Plan potential model and the generic MTCS distance to water criteria. This factor aside, the potential for the survival of any Aboriginal archaeological remains in primary contexts within the subject property is essentially nil. Such sites will not have survived the historic development activities that have removed or heavily altered all elements of the original topography. This conclusion is consistent with the statements concerning the removal of archaeological potential (“disturbance”) outlined in Section 1.3.2 of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:18).

4.2 Euro-Canadian Archaeological Resource Potential

The first structures on the subject property were likely built in the early 1850s on Lot 1. These brick, frame and roughcast residences were occupied by a succession of households. At the corner of Jarvis and Shuter streets (201 Jarvis), the brick frame house was demolished in the mid twentieth century to make way for a service station and its multiple underground fuel tanks. The remaining structures on 203 and 205 Jarvis Street were razed before an asphalt parking lot was built after 2000.

The excavations for the basements and the fuel tanks have resulted in the bulk removal of all original soils from most of property. This work has obliterated any traces of the earlier occupations that might otherwise be considered to be of potential cultural heritage value or interest. It is possible that the

Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, City of Toronto, Ontario PRELIMINARY REPORT Page 13

foundations and basement of Dr. Clark’s residence at 201 Jarvis Street may still survive to some degree. However, the contents of the basement void are most likely to be dominated by material related to its twentieth century demolition. Even isolated material related to the first-mid-nineteenth-century occupations (i.e. those that would be of greatest archaeological value), will be dispersed to such a degree that it will be “invisible” within secondary or tertiary contexts, in which case it is mere ephemera that cannot be linked to any identifiable tenancy. This conclusion is consistent with the statements concerning the removal of archaeological potential (“disturbance”) outlined in Section 1.3.2 of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011:18).

The balance of the subject property (Lots 2, 3 and 4) was only developed circa 1879. Any potential subsurface remains post-date 1870 and are not associated with the first generation of settlement in the region, and do not process cultural heritage value or interest according to the criteria provided by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2011 Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011: 59, Table 3.2)

5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

Given the findings of the Stage 1 assessment research, the following recommendations are made:

1. The 203 Jarvis Street subject property may be considered free of further archaeological concern. No further archaeological assessment is required.

The final report on the Stage 1 archaeological resource assessment will include more comprehensive presentation of the nineteenth- through twentieth-century land use history of the property as derived from primary source material held at the City of Toronto Archives, the Archives of Ontario, and the Toronto Land Registry Office. This research is for documentation purposes only. It will not result in revision to the conclusion that the subject property does exhibit archaeological potential as this evaluation is based primarily on considerations of archaeological taphonomy.

Notwithstanding the results and recommendations presented in this study, Archaeological Services Inc. notes that no archaeological assessment, no matter how thorough or carefully completed, can necessarily predict, account for, or identify every form of isolated or deeply buried archaeological deposit. In the event that archaeological remains are found during subsequent construction activities, the consultant archaeologist, approval authority, and the Cultural Programs Unit of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport should be immediately notified.

The documentation related to this archaeological assessment will be curated by Archaeological Services Inc. until such a time that arrangements for their ultimate transfer to Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario, or other public institution, can be made to the satisfaction of the project owner(s), the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, and any other legitimate interest groups.

6.0 ADVICE ON COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION

The following advice on compliance with legislation is provided: • This report is submitted to the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport as a condition of licensing in accordance with Part VI of the Ontario Heritage Act, RSO 1990, c 0.18. The report is reviewed to ensure

Stage 1 Archaeological Resource Assessment of 203 Jarvis Street, City of Toronto, Ontario PRELIMINARY REPORT Page 14

that it complies with the standards and guidelines that are issued by the Minister, and that the archaeological field work and report recommendations ensure the conservation, preservation and protection of the cultural heritage of Ontario. When all matters relating to archaeological sites within the project area of a development proposal have been addressed to the satisfaction of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, a letter will be issued by the Ministry stating that there are no further concerns with regard to alterations to archaeological sites by the proposed development.

• It is an offence under Sections 48 and 69 of the Ontario Heritage Act for any party other than a licensed archaeologist to make any alteration to a known archaeological site or to remove any artifact or other physical evidence of past human use or activity from the site, until such time as a licensed archaeologist has completed archaeological field work on the site, submitted a report to the Minister stating that the site has no further cultural heritage value or interest, and the report has been filed in the Ontario Public Register of Archaeology Reports referred to in Section 65.1 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

• Should previously undocumented archaeological resources be discovered, they may be a new archaeological site and therefore subject to Section 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act. The proponent or person discovering the archaeological resources must cease alteration of the site immediately and engage a licensed consultant archaeologist to carry out archaeological fieldwork, in compliance with sec. 48 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act.

• The Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, S.O. 2002, c.33, requires that any person discovering or having knowledge of a burial site shall immediately notify the police or coroner. It is recommended that the Registrar of Cemeteries at the Ministry of Consumer Services is also immediately notified
