  • Richard Anderson a Disgrace to the City Chapter 6 1
    Richard Anderson A Disgrace to the City Chapter 6 Chapter 6: Under a broiling sun: Urban Heat Introduction As long-term residents will know, Toronto can be hot and uncomfortable in summer. Heat-wave nights can be warm and sticky, while the days bring a scorching combination of steamy heat and smog. And it is all supposed to get worse with global warming. Although the city's historians have tended to ignore it, Toronto's summer heat has a long and significant history. It also has an intricate geography. Over long periods of time the changing geography of Toronto's heat has helped reshape the city and its surrounding regions. Urban heat has played a vital role in its biophysical history. If we had to arrange a field trip to take urban historians to meet the Ghost of Heat-Waves Past, we might start with the early part of July 1921. Those in search of biophysical stress would find Toronto sweltering in classic hot summer weather. The Observatory, custodian of official temperature records, put the maximum at 93 °F (33.9 °C)1 but it was much warmer in the city's workplaces. Downtown offices were in the high 90s, and it got well into the 100s in restaurant kitchens, brickyards, foundries, and the gas works.2 Workplace absenteeism was widespread. Heat closed the CCM factory in Weston, and reduced the staff at Dunlop Rubber. The Gurney and Pease foundries closed. Plasterers and bricklayers downed tools.3 People riding to work on the streetcars hung their heads out of windows, in search of a breeze.

The assessment entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the project area, and its nineteenth- and twentieth-century development history. This research has led to the conclusion that there is potential for the presence of significant Euro-Canadian archaeological resources related to the 1870 Don Breakwater and the circa 1880 Toronto Dry Dock. Accordingly, this report recommends that construction excavations in the area of potential for these features be subject to a program of archaeological monitoring to document their remains, if any, prior to their removal.
