There was a growing public awareness of the importance of Toronto’s heritage. We witnessed Canada’s 150th milestone, and we worked alongside a committed Toronto City Council. Heritage Toronto celebrated advancements. We also had conversations about exclusion and silenced voices. Collectively, we weighed our past while looking to the future. It was also the most active year in the history of Heritage Toronto. We presented 99 events across 28 wards and welcomed 8,000 people to our programs. We hosted guest speakers such as renowned humanitarian Stephen Lewis and chef Susur Lee. We worked with 22 volunteer organizations to run tours and events that highlighted timely issues such as Toronto’s immigration and LGBTQ2+ histories. We presented a revitalized Heritage Toronto Awards, made possible by record-breaking support from our sponsors. We installed more plaques than any other organization in North America—plaques which resonated with current events, carrier, and Alice and Dan Heap’s lifelong commitment to helping the city’s poor and homeless. Following this banner year, Heritage Toronto enters 2018 with momentum and optimism.

  • City Building and Architectural Renewal: a Historical Study of Five Buildings in Halifax, Nova Scotia
    City Building and Architectural Renewal: A Historical Study of Five Buildings in Halifax, Nova Scotia Claire Renwick A Thesis in The Department of Art History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Master of Arts (Art History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada September 2010 © Claire Renwick, 2010 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Claire Renwick Entitled: City Building and Architectural Renewal: A Historical Study of Five Buildings in Halifax, Nova Scotia and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Art History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Supervisor: Jean Belisle Reader: Cynthia Hammond Approved by: Joanne Sloan, Graduate Program Director 2010 ABSTRACT City Building and Architectural Renewal: A Historical Study of Five Buildings in Halifax, Nova Scotia Claire Renwick Halifax is a small Canadian city that has gone through phases of city building and urban renewal that have most visibly affected its downtown area around the waterfront. While many buildings were cleared during the post-WWII period, growing heritage preservation and participatory planning movements in the city successfully saved many older structures that contribute to the history of Halifax. This case study looks at five heritage buildings in the waterfront area known as the Peter Martin Liquors, Harrington MacDonald-Briggs, Fishwick & Co., Shaw, and Imperial Oil Buildings, and seeks to document their individual and collective histories by bringing together aspects of the social, political, and economic circumstances that have shaped these buildings through the eighteenth century to the present.

  • 1 the Fury of the Blast One Chilly December Lunch-Time in 1973 There
    The Fury of the Blast One chilly December lunch-time in 1973 there was a small party on the sidewalk outside the Toronto Stock Exchange. The celebration honoured Ann Grossman, or “Mrs G”, as she was known to the traders. She was the Stock Exchange’s resident news vendor, and she had been selling papers on the corner of Bay and Wellington for 18 years. She had made a fond impression.1 The Grossman family had a long association with that street corner. Ann had inherited her news stand from her husband Lou, who started it in 1935. Lou was an old-time newsboy, and prominent in their fraternity. He sold papers outside the Stock Exchange, he played on newsboys softball, and basketball teams. He acted as president and treasurer of the Newsboys Association.2 He did well enough to marry Ann and set up a home for their young family on Vinci Crescent, in the city's east end. But one evening, in July 1955, as he drove the family home from the Henry Street synagogue, he suffered a fatal heart attack. He was only 39.3 Widowed with three young children, Ann took up Lou's old news stand and continued the business. She braved the corner in all weathers until, by 1973, her children had all safely completed university. Ann was a resourceful and courageous person, and it was a combination of her fortitude and cheerfulness which won the respect of the stock traders. She became a character on the street outside the Exchange, well known to the traders and to the newspaper people.

  • East London Industrial Heritage Recommendations Full Report
    East London Industrial Heritage Recommendations | 1 East London Industrial Heritage Recommendations Full Report Introduction: East London, having been the industrial heart of London at the turn of the century, is home to one of the finest collections of industrial architecture from the first two decades of the twentieth century in North America. London’s nineteenth century industries were predominately located west of Adelaide Street, and in all too many cases the structures that housed them have been lost to later development. In the early twentieth century, however, London found itself in the midst of an industrial boom which swept North America. London’s industrial community was strengthened by cheap electrical power from Niagara Falls. The city’s location on several major railway lines gave it easy access to domestic and international markets, and close connections were developed with firms headquartered in Detroit, New York, and elsewhere. And London’s place in the British Empire served as a boon, granting the city’s manufacturers easy access to raw materials extracted across Britain’s colonies, and an entry into markets in Britain and around the world. In “The Economic and Industrial History of the City of London, Canada”, written in 1930, Benjamin S. Scott repeatedly draws attention to a network of trade reaching into Europe, the Caribbean, Australia, and from coast to coast in the Dominion of Canada. Far from being a peripheral element, London was an integral hub within this network. What is most remarkable about this industrial boom in retrospect is just how well preserved its physical elements have been to the present day.
