  • 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.
