  • Moss Park Redesign Impresses and Divides Design Review Panel
    Moss Park Redesign Impresses and Divides Design Review Panel September 23, 2016 4:58 pm | by Julian Mirabelli | 13 Comments Public spaces are taking centre stage in Toronto as of late, as the City is investing millions—and possibly even billions—in bringing world-class public spaces to our expanding metropolis. With the recent completion of celebrated spaces such as Sherbourne Common and Corktown Common, to the soon-to-be-complete revamps of Grange Park and Berczy Park, to the high-profile Under Gardiner and Rail Deck Park projects coming our way, Toronto is poised to become an international leader in public space design. Next up on the docket is a complete overhaul of Moss Park, a highly visible—and highly contentious— park at the corner of Queen and Sherbourne Streets just outside the downtown core. Spearheaded by The 519 and funded by all three levels of government, the Moss Park project—affectionately called More Moss Park—aims to completely redesign the poorly organized plot of land to provide more amenities and better services to its diverse group of users. The proposal includes a brand new building by MJM Architects with sports facilities, gathering spaces, and services, and a completely reconfigured park designed by Dutch landscape architects West 8. Aerial view of the park, looking southwest, image courtesy of the City of Toronto. The concept behind the proposal is one of openness and inclusion, with a host of flexible and multi- purpose programming hoping to cater to the disparate current and future user groups that form the Moss Park community.

  • Le Musée Aga Khan Célèbre La Créativité Et Les Contributions Artistiques Des Immigrants Au Cours D’Une Saison Qui Fait La Part Belle À L’Immigration
    Le Musée Aga Khan célèbre la créativité et les contributions artistiques des immigrants au cours d’une saison qui fait la part belle à l’immigration Cinquante-et-un artistes plasticiens, 15 spectacles et 10 orateurs représentant plus de 50 pays seront à l’honneur lors de cette saison dédiée à l’immigration. Toronto, Canada, le 4 mars 2020 - Loin des gros-titres sur l’augmentation de la migration dans le monde, le Musée Aga Khan célèbrera les contributions artistiques des immigrants et des réfugiés à l’occasion de sa nouvelle saison. Cette saison dédiée à l’immigration proposera trois expositions mettant en lumière la créativité des migrants et les contributions artistiques qu’ils apportent tout autour du monde. Aux côtés d’artistes et de leaders d’opinion venant du monde entier, ces expositions d’avant-garde présenteront des individus remarquables qui utilisent l’art et la culture pour surmonter l’adversité, construire leurs vies et enrichir leurs communautés malgré les déplacements de masse, le changement climatique et les bouleversements économiques. « À l’heure où la migration dans le monde est plus importante que jamais, nous, au Musée Aga Khan, pensons qu’il est de notre devoir de réfuter ces rumeurs qui dépeignent les immigrants et les réfugiés comme une menace pour l’intégrité de nos communautés », a déclaré Henry S. Kim, administrateur du Musée Aga Khan. « En tant que Canadiens, nous bénéficions énormément de l’arrivée d’immigrants et des nouveaux regards qu’ils apportent. En saisissant les occasions qui se présentent à eux au mépris de l’adversité, ils incarnent ce qu’il y a de mieux dans l’esprit humain.

  • TORONTO PORT AUTHORITY (Doing Business As Portstoronto) MANAGEMENT's DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS – 2017 (In Thousands of Dolla
    TORONTO PORT AUTHORITY (Doing Business as PortsToronto) MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS – 2017 (In thousands of dollars) May 3, 2018 Management's discussion and analysis (MD&A) is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of the trends and significant changes in the results of operations and financial condition of the Toronto Port Authority, doing business as PortsToronto (the “Port Authority” or “TPA”) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 and should be read in conjunction with the 2017 Audited Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) and accompanying notes. Summary The Port Authority continued to be profitable in 2017. Net Income (excluding the gain on the sale of the 30 Bay Street/60 Harbour Street Property) for the year was $6,368, slightly down from $6,684 in 2016. This MD&A will discuss the reasons for changes in Net Income year over year, as well as highlight other areas impacting the Port Authority’s financial performance in 2017. The Port Authority presents its financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The accounting policies set out in Note 2 of the Financial Statements have been applied in preparing the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, and in the comparative information presented in these Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016. Introduction The TPA was continued on June 8, 1999 as a government business enterprise under the Canada Marine Act as the successor to the Toronto Harbour Commissioners. The Port Authority is responsible for operating the lands and harbour it administers in the service of local, regional and national social and economic objectives, and for providing infrastructure and services to marine and air transport to facilitate these objectives.

  • Midtown in Focus Parks and Public Realm Plan Part 3 of 3
    Attachment 2 - Part 3 of 3 CHAPTER 8 CITY OF TORONTO 2018 102 A CONNECTED AND VERSATILE NETWORK OF PUBLIC PARKS The parkland analysis and public feedback received have been synthesized with new park spaces previously identified as part of the 2014 Midtown in Focus: Parks, Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan to create a connected and versatile network of public parks for Midtown (Figure 11). The network capitalizes on the area’s existing park assets with an eye to expanding these parks and making better use of these spaces to support local needs. It also identifies a series of proposed public parks of all shapes and sizes throughout the area. In some instances, the identification of proposed parks is opportunistic to complement and further strengthen the Public Realm Moves or to recognize the transformative potential associated with the existing subway trench and Davisville Yard. In other instances, a practical approach has been taken to provide new park spaces capable of accommodating a range of locally-oriented passive and active activities throughout the area that will not only provide new park spaces, but also fill in missing gaps. Taken as a whole, the network of public parks that will be created responds to the challenges and opportunities facing Midtown both now and into the future. It has the potential to add at least 17 hectares of new parkland to Midtown’s existing 26.2 hectares of parkland. 103 Figure 11: Parks and Open Space Network Plan BLYTHWOOD ROAD Sherwood Park BRIAR HILL ROAD SHERWOOD AVE KEEWATIN AVE ROSELAWN AVE

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
