  • Cultural Facilities 030109
    A Map of Toronto’s Cultural Facilities A Cultural Facilities Analysis 03.01.10 Prepared for: Rita Davies Managing Director of Culture Division of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Prepared by: ERA Architects Inc. Urban Intelligence Inc. Cuesta Systems Inc. Executive Summary In 1998, seven municipalities, each with its own distinct cultural history and infrastructure, came together to form the new City of Toronto. The process of taking stock of the new city’s cultural facilities was noted as a priority soon after amalgamation and entrusted to the newly formed Culture Division. City Council on January 27, 2000, adopted the recommendations of the Policy and Finance Committee whereby the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism was requested to proceed with a Cultural Facilities Masterplan including needs assessment and business cases for new arts facilities, including the Oakwood - Vaughan Arts Centre, in future years. This report: > considers the City of Toronto’s role in supporting cultural facilities > documents all existing cultural facilities > provides an approach for assessing Toronto’s cultural health. Support for Toronto’s Cultural Facilities Through the Culture Division, the City of Toronto provides both direct and indirect support to cultural activities. Direct support consists of : > grants to individual artists and arts organizations > ongoing operating and capital support for City-owned and operated facilities. Indirect support consists of: > property tax exemptions > below-market rents on City-owned facilities > deployment of Section 37 development agreements. A Cultural Facilities Inventory A Cultural Facility Analysis presents and interprets data about Toronto’s cultural facilities that was collected by means of a GIS (Global Information System) database.

  • The Campfires of Bureaucracy: in 25 Short E-Mail Chapters
    THE CAMPFIRES OF BUREAUCRACY: IN 25 SHORT E-MAIL CHAPTERS Chapter 1. Dark clouds Jan.24 2007 Recreation Supervisor to Permits/Fire dept., asking for a cooking fire permit for Wallace every Sunday. Response: any campfire/ cooking fire has to be 30 meters from a building. Jan.25 Park friend Jutta Mason to Recreation Supervisor, to pass along to the Fire department: 30 meters is too far. 13 years of campfires at Dufferin, no injury. Proximity to a building gives wind protection. “We burn hardwood, no softwood and no paper, and there are seldom sparks that travel more than a few inches. The campfire site is on snow and frozen earth. We have the means right beside the fire to extinguish the fire within one minute or less.” Chapter 2. Insults and exclusion Jan.26 Meeting with Parks Supervisor and Fire Captain, who said: “the people who make these fires are imbeciles.” Recreation Supervisor, e-mail to park friend Jutta Mason: “Jutta, as per this morning’s meeting, all cooking fires in Ward 18 are to stop…I will try to set up a meeting next week with all the necessary staff in order to reach a resolution.” Jan.26 Park friend Jutta Mason to Recreation Supervisor: “I would like to emphasize that the experts in safe, successful park campfires are the people who have done them now for many years. That includes me, and also the senior park staff who have used these campfires so successfully for community-building. So, no back-room, fait-accomplit planning, please. We will need to be at the table when any new regulations are discussed.

  • 2017 Global Awards of Excellence
    For Immediate Release TORONTO’S WEST DON LANDS MASTER-PLAN COMMUNITY WINS 2017-2018 ULI GLOBAL AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE TORONTO (Nov. 15, 2017) – A major Toronto redevelopment project has been recognized on the international stage, alongside projects from the United States, Japan, Spain and Singapore, for achieving a high standard of excellence in the development industry. West Don Lands, an industrial area currently being redeveloped as a mixed-use neighbourhood in Toronto's downtown east end, was named one of thirteen winners in the Urban Land Institute’s 2017- 2018 ULI Global Awards for Excellence. It was selected by an international jury made up of ULI members from a wide range of professional backgrounds who are recognized as leaders in their fields. According to ULI, while architecture and design are key components for all developments that have been recognized, winners are selected based on a broader set of criteria encompassing the “full development process of a project.” “The West Don Lands is Toronto urbanism at its best,” says ULI Toronto Executive Director Richard Joy. “Its evolution is a global showcase of city building that confirms our city’s reputation as a place that’s for and about the people it serves.” Hailed by local media for “changing the face of Toronto,” the West Don Lands is a huge revitalization effort led by Waterfront Toronto that has spanned two decades. The 80-acre site features robust and inventive public spaces, including Corktown Common and Underpass Park. Condominium residences developed by Dream Unlimited and Kilmer Group served as the Athletes’ Village when Toronto hosted the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games.
