Lakeshore Blvd In Etobicoke, at the present-day site of Marie Creek Curtis Park, it changed the very landscape when floodwaters came crashing through a housing Etobicoke Creek development located at the mouth of Etobicoke Creek. Over 56 cottages and houses were destroyed, 365 people left homeless and seven people died. The first permanent residents on the sand bars, or Etobicoke Flats, were Captain Oates and his wife, who built a cottage in 1921. By the late 1940s, at least 277 families were living in Marie Curtis Park, and the mouth of Etobicoke Creek at the Lake Ontario waterfront today (left) and in 1946 after a spring flood (above). this part of Long Branch.

  • Rapid Transit in Toronto Levyrapidtransit.Ca TABLE of CONTENTS
    The Neptis Foundation has collaborated with Edward J. Levy to publish this history of rapid transit proposals for the City of Toronto. Given Neptis’s focus on regional issues, we have supported Levy’s work because it demon- strates clearly that regional rapid transit cannot function eff ectively without a well-designed network at the core of the region. Toronto does not yet have such a network, as you will discover through the maps and historical photographs in this interactive web-book. We hope the material will contribute to ongoing debates on the need to create such a network. This web-book would not been produced without the vital eff orts of Philippa Campsie and Brent Gilliard, who have worked with Mr. Levy over two years to organize, edit, and present the volumes of text and illustrations. 1 Rapid Transit in Toronto levyrapidtransit.ca TABLE OF CONTENTS 6 INTRODUCTION 7 About this Book 9 Edward J.

  • Evaluating the Toronto Waterfront Aquatic Habitat Restoration Strategy
    Evaluating the effectiveness of aquatic habitat restoration implemented using the Toronto Aquatic Habitat Restoration Strategy Kaylin Barnes1, Lyndsay Cartwright1, Rick Portiss1, Jon Midwood2, Christine Boston2, Monica Granados3, Thomas Sciscione1, Colleen Gibson1, Olusola Obembe1 1 Toronto and Region Conservation Authority 2 Fisheries and Oceans Canada 3 PREreview.org November 2020 Evaluating the Toronto Waterfront Aquatic Habitat Restoration Strategy EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Fish populations of the Laurentian Great Lakes are impacted by a variety of stressors. Commercial and recreational fishing directly affect the fishery through harvest while other stressors, such as land use changes and degraded water quality, indirectly affect survival and reproduction through a loss or degradation of habitat. Great Lakes fisheries are also affected by competition and predation by invasive species along with changes in climate such as increasing lake temperatures. An estimated 80% of the approximately 200 fish species found in the Great Lakes use the nearshore areas for some portion of their life and as such, coastal development pressures such as shoreline modifications and watershed urbanization continue to impact the fishery. The Toronto Waterfront Aquatic Habitat Restoration Strategy (TWAHRS) was developed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority with guidance from a committee of subject matter experts to provide practical information for decision-makers, designers and regulatory agencies to ensure that implementation of all waterfront projects incorporate opportunities to improve aquatic habitat. The TWAHRS includes an illustrated compendium of habitat restoration techniques intended to improve waterfront aquatic habitats for a diversity of species - fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, molluscs, invertebrates and plants; however, it focuses on fish because they are excellent indicators of the overall health of the ecosystem.

  • REVISED Aug 20 Planning Equitable Public Parks for Mental
    'Public' Mediations in Public Parks: Equity, Planning and the Regulation of Behaviours by Zoi de la Peña supervised by Jennifer Foster and Liette Gilbert A Major Paper submitted to the Faculty of Environmental Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Environmental Studies, York University, Toronto Ontario, Canada. August 20, 2018 Abstract This Major Research Paper examines how ideologies of nature are manipulated by local civic actors to regulate people’s behaviour in public parks and thereby plan specific demographics of people out of these spaces. Focusing on behaviours of cruising and loitering, I explore how legal, design, and urban planning tools are leveraged to control and criminalize these behaviours in two GTHA public parks: Marie Curtis Park in Toronto, and Gore Park in Hamilton. Methods of research include multiple site visits to each park, interviews with local stakeholders, as well as urban planning and mental health professionals, and a literature review. In researching the above, I address questions on how the identity of “public” is defined and constructed in public parks and argue that the current regulation of cruising and loitering in the above cases serve to constitute homophobic and classist notions of “the public”. This is a particularly pressing issue for urban planners as an increasing number of ailments within cities are linked to rising temperatures, poor air quality and psychological distress. Scholarly work has demonstrated a positive correlation between exposure to nature and the alleviation of the above conditions. As parks are a primary source of nature in urban areas, addressing how the regulation of behaviour in public parks can limit the access of certain demographics of people - particularly those that are already socially marginalized - to the health benefits provided by exposure to nature is an urgent social equity issue in today’s urban environment.

  • Beaches Plan Plan Decemberjanuary 2009 2008 Marie Curtis Park  Message from the Mayor
    ROUGE · BLUFFER’S PARK · BALMY – KEW · WOODBINE · greatbeaches... great city, CHERRY · WARD’S ISLAND · TORONTO BEACHES PLAN TORONTO BEACHES PLAN CENTRE ISLAND · GIBRALTAR POINT · HANLAN’S POINT December January · SUNNYSIDE · 2009 EAST 2008 MARIE CURTIS PARK MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Revitalizing Toronto’s waterfront is a priority for all Torontonians. Ensuring that our beaches are clean and accessible is essential to making that revitalization happen. As places to play and enjoy nature, they contribute to and enhance the quality of life in Toronto. Because of the tremendous importance of beaches, it’s not surprising that Toronto is so focused on creating great public spaces along the waterfront and making our beaches more swimmable. As Founding Chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, I know that communities within this region are taking steps to improve their beaches. As Canada’s biggest city, we must lead by example. I’m proud that Toronto was the first community in Canada to certify its swimming beaches under the international Blue Flag program. The Blue Flag has now been raised at six of our beaches. This is a great start, but we shouldn’t be satisfied until all of our beaches are certified – and until every beach is open for swimming every day during the summer. We’ve made great progress over the past five years in improving Toronto’s beaches.
