Leaside is a thriving midtown suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated just to the west and north of the Don River. Leaside’s distinctive cultural heritage landscape evolved from the overlaying of the following: the natural and pre-settlement landscape, the agricultural settlement landscape, the mod- el town designed in 1912 by Frederick Todd, the ensuing residential develop- ment of the late 1920s to the 1950s, and its contemporary development Pre-settlement Landscape The Leaside area was affected by a series of ancient Ice Ages, which covered cover: Aerial orthographic photo of Leaside, 1942 above: Courtyard, Garden Court Apartments the land with a succession of glaciers and large lakes.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register – Laird in Focus – 90 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road
    ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register – Laird in Focus – 90 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road Date: October 7, 2019 To: Toronto Preservation Board North York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 15 – Don Valley West SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 90 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road on the City of Toronto Heritage Register. The properties are located on the west side of Laird Drive between Vanderhoof Avenue and Millwood Road and the north side of Research Road. As part of the Laird in Focus Planning Study, City Planning initiated a Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) to ensure that all properties of cultural heritage value or interest were appropriately identified, understood and conserved as part of an up-to- date planning framework. The three properties identified for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register, along with the four properties already listed on Laird Drive highlight the 1920s -1940s as a period of significance in the development of Leaside, when many finely crafted buildings were constructed as part of the Town of Leaside's growth. Together, the six properties on Laird Drive enrich the understanding of the area's sense of place and demonstrate the continued importance of this historic commercial and industrial spine for Leaside's growth and prosperity. The property on Research Road is one of the rare surviving structures representing Leaside's major contribution to Canada's military in both world wars.

  • Child & Family Inequities Score
    CHILD & FAMILY INEQUITIES SCORE Technical Report The Child & Family Inequities Score provides a neighbourhood-level measure of the socio-economic challenges that children and families experience. The Child & Family Inequities Score is a tool to help explain the variation in socio-economic status across the City of Toronto neighbourhoods. It will help service providers to understand the context of the neighbourhoods and communities that they serve. It will also help policy makers and researchers understand spatial inequities in child and family outcomes. While other composite measures of socio-economic status in the City exist, the Child & Family Inequities Score is unique because it uses indicators that are specific to families with children under the age of 12. The Child & Family Inequities Score is a summary measure derived from indicators which describe inequities experienced by the child and family population in each of Toronto’s 140 neighbourhoods. The Child & Family Inequities Score is comprised of 5 indicators: • Low Income Measure: Percent of families with an after-tax family income that falls below the Low Income Measure. • Parental Unemployment: Percent of families with at least one unemployed parent / caregiver. • Low Parental Education: Percent of families with at least one parent / caregiver that does not have a high school diploma. • No Knowledge of Official Language: Percent of families with no parents who have knowledge of either official language (English or French). 1 • Core Housing Need: Percent of families in core housing need . This report provides technical details on how the Child & Family Inequities Score was created and describes how the resulting score should be interpreted.
