The funding increase has already made a far-reaching impact on TAC, Toronto’s artists and the city. It has allowed TAC to offer stability to existing organizations while providing significant new support for culturally diverse arts organizations, emerging arts groups and community-engaged arts projects, with a focus on the inner suburbs and youth. TAC approved its Priorities for New Funding in 2013 following confirmation of increased investment from the City, based on extensive community consultations and on the City Council approved Creative Capital Gains report. TAC’s new funding priorities break down into 3 major grants program priorities and 14 subsidiary goals. In the first two years of increased funding, progress has been realized as follows: Priority #1: Growth & Sustainability Goals: 1. Increase core funding to arts organizations meeting highest standards of excellence 2. Increase project funding in all disciplines to arts organizations and individual artists meeting highest standards of excellence 3. Create and implement strategies to address funding inequities among arts organizations Progress to Dec 2014: Goal #1: Over $2 million additional funds added to core operating program, annually. Goal #2: Over $1.4 million increased funding allocated in project grants to arts organizations and individual artists. Goal #3: TAC Board and staff have identified $6 million funding gap required to address funding inequities; new funds allocated since 2013 have reduced this gap by almost $3 million. Priority #2: Community Connections Goals: 1. Youth led arts projects to be a funding priority 2. Community engaged art projects in inner suburbs will be a funding priority 3. Culturally diverse youth artists and arts organizations will be given enhanced opportunities to enter the funding stream 4. Outreach and community revitalization projects will be eligible for additional funding 5. Partnerships with Toronto’s civic institutions (libraries, heritage, housing, parks, tourism, immigrant settlement agencies, education, neighbourhood and community centres) will be forged or strengthened to ensure greater neighbourhood access to arts programming Progress to Dec 2014: Goal #1: Toronto Arts Council has partnered with Artreach Toronto to increase access and opportunities for cultural participation for youth across the city, including $300,000 funding annually for youth-led arts projects. Goal #2: In partnership with four leading community arts organizations, TAC has developed Platform A to support a shared vision of seeding sustainable, high-quality community arts practice, and provide increased opportunities and access to the arts for youth and communities through an innovative microgrants program: $300,000 per year for 3 years. Goal #3: In addition to ArtReach and Platform A, Toronto Arts Council has added support for audio recording to its Music Creation program, responding to demand from Toronto's music community. Successful grant applicants include many young musicians from communities outside the downtown core: $200,000 per year. 1 Goal #4: Targeted Enhanced Funding - Recognizing that it takes significant resources to undertake high engagement activities that involve youth, diverse and underserved communities in the arts, this program is available to TAC operating clients that have already begun to engage with communities outside the downtown core: 60 grants totalling $595,000 in 2013 and 2014. Goal #5: New grants programs in partnership with Toronto's civic institutions focus on neighbourhoods outside the downtown and include: Animating Historic Sites and Museums, Artists in the Library, Artists in the Schools: in the first two years 34 grants totalling $750,000 have been awarded. Priority #3: Innovation & Partnerships Goals: 1. Respond to exceptional one-time events and opportunities 2. Build local arts community capacity 3. Provide opportunity for funding interdisciplinary work 4. Provide seed or development funds for new and innovative artistic initiatives developing new platforms for national and international recognition of Toronto artists 5. Facilitate mentorship and professional development opportunities for arts professionals 6. Stimulate increased investment in Toronto arts through strategic inter-sectoral partnerships Progress to Dec 2014: Goal #1: Open Door funding process developed to respond to exceptional one-time events and opportunities: $545,000 granted to 11 projects in 2014. Goal #2: With TAC funding, Platform A offers a microgrants program granting up to $1,000 to emerging and newcomer artists and collectives to foster new arts projects, practice skills, and incubate creative ideas with mentorship from established artists and organizations in the field: 88 grants totaling $79,870 in first two years. Goal #3: Interdisciplinary programs introduced by TAC since 2013 include: Animating Historic Sites and Museums, Artists in the Library, Artists in the Schools, ArtReach Toronto and ArtsVest. New interdisciplinary programs being introduced in 2015 include Indigenous Arts Projects and Arts in the Parks. Goal #4: Open Door funding process (see goal 1) also responds to this goal. Goal #5: In partnership with the Banff Centre, TAC has created the Cultural Leaders Lab to offer mentorship & professional development opportunities for Toronto's arts leaders. In the first year of the program, 18 cultural leaders were selected to participate. Goal #6: TAC funded ArtsVest, a national sponsorship training and matching incentive program created by Business for the Arts. In 2013 and 2014, 148 Toronto arts organizations participated in the program partnering with over 200 local businesses and raising over $2 million in sponsorship funds. In addition TAC’s partnership programs developed with TDSB,

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

THE CORE CIRCLE N The Core Circle re-imagines the valleys, bluffs and islands E encircling the Downtown as a fully connected 900-hectare immersive landscape system W S The Core Circle seeks to improve and offer opportunities to reconnect the urban fabric of the Downtown to its surrounding natural features using the streets, parks and open spaces found around the natural setting of Downtown Toronto including the Don River Valley and ravines, Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands, Garrison Creek and the Lake Iroquois shoreline. Connecting these large landscape features North: Davenport Road Bluff, Toronto, Canada will create a continuous circular network of open spaces surrounding the Downtown, accessible from both the core and the broader city. The Core Circle re- imagines the Downtown’s framework of valleys, bluffs and islands as a connected 900-hectare landscape system and immersive experience, building on Toronto’s strong identity as a ‘city within a park’ and providing opportunities to acknowledge our natural setting and connect to the history of our natural landscapes. East: Don River Valley Ravine and Rosedale Valley Ravine, Toronto, Canada Historically, the natural landscape features that form the Core Circle were used by Indigenous peoples as village sites, travelling routes and hunting and gathering lands. They are regarded as sacred landscapes and places for spiritual renewal. The Core Circle seeks to re-establish our connection to these landscapes.

  • Redeveloping the Distillery District, Toronto
    Place Differentiation: Redeveloping the Distillery District, Toronto by Vanessa Kirsty Mathews A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Vanessa Kirsty Mathews 2010 Place Differentiation: Redeveloping the Distillery District, Toronto Doctor of Philosophy Vanessa Kirsty Mathews, 2010 Department of Geography University of Toronto Abstract What role does place differentiation play in contemporary urban redevelopment processes, and how is it constructed, practiced, and governed? Under heightened forms of interurban competition fueled by processes of globalization, there is a desire by place- makers to construct and market a unique sense of place. While there is consensus that place promotion plays a role in reconstructing landscapes, how place differentiation operates – and can be operationalized – in processes of urban redevelopment is under- theorized in the literature. In this thesis, I produce a typology of four strategies of differentiation – negation, coherence, residue, multiplicity – which reside within capital transformations and which require activation by a set of social actors. I situate these ideas via an examination of the redevelopment of the Gooderham and Worts distillery, renamed the Distillery District, which opened to the public in 2003. Under the direction of the private sector, the site was transformed from a space of alcohol production to a space of cultural consumption. The developers used a two pronged approach for the site‟s redevelopment: historic preservation and arts-led regeneration. Using a mixed method approach including textual analysis, in-depth interviews, visual analysis, and site observation, I examine the strategies used to market the Distillery as a distinct place, and the effects of this marketing strategy on the valuation of art, history, and space.
