The enthusiastic group recognized the park and its trees as a valuable resource to the community and has initiated the first step in creating a Strategic Urban Forest Management Plan. Our company, Trinity Tree Team, composed of 4 students from the University of Toronto’s Master of Forest Conservation program, commends the Friends for choosing to hire Brian Volz to complete a tree inventory of the park. The work completed thus far includes GIS mapping of individual tree locations and an inventory and health assessment of all the trees and naturalized areas within the park. All trees have been measured in terms of diameter at breast height (DBH), crown width and height, and overall tree height. The inventory has been the first step towards cataloguing tree data and planning for the future of this important urban park. 2 Methodology Over the summer of 2009, a tree inventory was completed for the over 800 trees in Trinity Bellwoods Park. The data was collected according to Neighbourwoods© protocol, an inventory methodology designed for use by neighbourhood community members with little to no arboricultural experience. Diameter at breast height (DBH), crown width and height, and overall tree height were measured for each tree. Individual trees were scored for the presence and severity of a variety of condition attributes such as lean, rot cavity, and defoliation (see Trinity Tree Team, University of Toronto 1 Existing Conditions Report Appendix IV for the Neighbourwoods© Quick Reference Guide) and a cumulative score was used to rate the trees’ overall condition as excellent, good, fair, poor or very poor (see Table 2: Neighbourwoods© condition ratings, in section 3.3). Finally, each tree was mapped into a geographical information system (GIS), and all data were entered into a database for future reference. The inventory data collected for Trinity Bellwoods Park are the basis for the analysis contained within this report. 3 Inventory Area Figure 1: Aerial view of Trinity Bellwoods Park (compiled image) (Source: URL: www.bing.com/maps) Trinity Tree Team, University of Toronto 2 Existing Conditions Report Trinity Bellwoods Park (Figure 1) is bounded by Dundas Street on the North, Queen Street on the South, Crawford Street and Shaw Street on the West and Gore Vale Avenue on the East. The total area of the park is 15.1 hectares. 4 Summary Analysis of the Tree Inventory This report summarises the distributions, for example by genera and species, size class, native vs. non-native, deciduous vs. coniferous, and tree condition, of the existing trees in Trinity Bellwoods Park. Simplifying the extensive data contained in the inventory is vital to understanding the current composition and structure of this

  • 281-289 College Street
    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 281-289 College Street Date: November 13, 2017 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Acting Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning Division Wards: 20 - Trinity-Spadina SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 281-289 College Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and state its intention to designate the properties under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The subject properties are located on the south side of College Street, west of Spadina Avenue, and contain a group of five three-storey commercial buildings dating to 1887 that are known historically as the Alexandrina Block. The properties at 281-289 College Street were identified as having heritage potential in the College Street Study Official Plan Amendment, which was adopted by City Council at its meeting of May 24, 2017. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the properties at 281- 289 College Street meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their design, associative and contextual values. At the west end of the Alexandrina Block, the individual property at 289 College is currently the subject of a demolition application. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with Official Plan Heritage Policies. Designation enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.

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.

  • Communication from Ric Amis
    May 31, 2021 Dear Members of The Toronto Executive Committee, Re: EX24.3 – Ontario Place Redevelopment Update I write as Chair of the West Side Community Council, an umbrella organization of thirteen West End community associations, in regard to agenda item number EX24.3, the proposal to City Council to approve the proposed "Province of Ontario - City of Toronto Engagement on the Future of Ontario Place and Exhibition Place Terms of Reference" as a means to continue and advance discussions with the Province of Ontario on the Ontario Place redevelopment. We support a joint venture between the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario to develop these publicly held lands in concert with and for the betterment of the citizens of Toronto and Ontario. This area by the waterfront is a destination district, appreciated not just locally and regionally but nationally and internationally. With all this focus comes pressures to develop and transform. Some of these will be desirable, but others not. We have several areas we would like to speak to: 1. That the Exhibition Place Master Plan and the Exhibition Place Strategic Plan continue to align and draw in Ontario Place to make this 347 acres in total on the Toronto waterfront a world-renowned centre-piece of good governance into the next century. 2. That there be an acknowledgement of the value of open green space for the health and well-being of Toronto residents. The increase in the population surrounding these two publicly owned lands has seen in the past 15 years 125,000 new residents and the future residents yet to come 3.
