It also refers to anything handed down from the Past President past, be it familial, as a successor or in an historical Gary Parkinson 416-621-1619 context. The term is also now commonly used in President commercial and computer lingo as in legacy Board, Sheila Tait 416-767-2406 legacy system or legacy soft ware. Indeed the model 1st Vice President name of my last car, with which I finally parted Claudia Mang 416-626-0798 company after 16 years, was Legacy. 2nd Vice President At the recent funeral of an esteemed and much Karl Sprogis 905-625-4839 beloved colleague, there was the opportunity for a Secretary long chat with a former student who had brought Janet Thacker 905-503-1484 with him a photo copy of a page of a year book which was circulated and then Treasurer included in the display of the mementos prepared by the family. He filled us Harold Royle 416-741-2781 in and brought us up to date on the careers, fortunes and whereabouts of his Awards brother and a special group of friends.

Submitted by Helen Gill During a recent stroll in my neighbourhood, I stopped to snap a few photos only to discover that my 8 gigabyte memory card was full and these images were not coming home with me. Then I remembered my phone has a camera! It was a few hours later that I realized I have an unacknowledged hobby – the digital collecting of street art. The images I capture range from public monuments and memorials, to street signs and graffiti, some supported by the city through its STArts program, and some appearing anonymously. As I started sorting through the images on my card, I noticed that I seem to have ‘categories’ for collecting. Some photos are clearly items of historical or local heritage importance. One day I was surprised to find images of cows with their names on the sidewalk pavers in the little park that once bordered the southern edge of Gibson House Museum. Did you know that the bovines ‘Grey’ and ‘Spot’ belonged to David Gibson, land surveyor and rebel in the Rebellion of 1837? The statues and sculptures at Ireland Park are a chilling reminder of Toronto past. Other markers, like the Air India Memorial (Humber Bay East Park, Lakeshore Boulevard West & Parklawn), the Fallen Firefighters Memorial (HTO Park, Harbourfront, near Fire station 334) are sobering reminders of events from my own lifetime. Con’t Page 4 3 District 22 Etobicoke and the City Of York The personalities of neighbourhoods where I have walked are revealed in other images. The Parkdale Public Library, a heartbeat in this culturally diverse part of the city, is easily recognized by the huge globe outside its front door. Even the bicycle rack out front is reflective of the ethos of the neighbourhood. The alley that runs east and west from Portland Street to Bathurst, south of Queen Street, is famous as the backdrop for many of Rick Mercer’s rants on his CBC show, The Mercer Report. Some of my favourites are signed by Uber 5000. I’ve spotted the Lovebot, work of a local Toronto artist, Matthew Del Degan, as far east as Ossington, north at Dupont and hidden within the streets of Brockton Village and Parkdale near Roncesvalles. A little research shows that this friendly little icon is popping up around the globe. Follow the link http://www.blogto.com/arts/2015/01/toronto_lovebot_spotted_around_the_world/ My category ‘signs and stickers’ is quite eclectic. Some of these appealed to me for their creativity and interest factor like the signage in the animal pens at the High Park Zoo; others are informative, urging urban walkers to beware of coyotes along the Western Beaches boardwalk. Some signs have been ‘amended’ such as a Neighbourhood Watch sign that indicates ‘protected by Batman and Robin’ and another favourite of mine are the #SavetheBees stickers from the Sierra Club posted in public spaces. Murals, Art Boxes and Little Free Libraries of various shapes and sizes are popping up, but my favourite photos are installations or creations in the public realm, like the gLITTER Box, that reflect the humour, wit and creativity of the unknown artist. Currently I am on the hunt for signs of ‘yarn bombing’. Mine is a great ‘good weather’ hobby. All you need is a camera in your pocket and the inclination to play tourist for a day, tuned in and aware of what is around as you ‘day trip’ through parts of this great city 4 District 22 Etobicoke and the City Of York • be a child/grandchild of a Old Age Security (OAS) In Memoriam Johnson employee. • universal • age 65 (67 in 2023 but under review) Submitted by Adele Pick We offer our sympathies to the family and Online Application Form • $564.87 per month friends of our departed members.

The assessment entailed consideration of the proximity of previously registered archaeological sites, the original environmental setting of the property, and its nineteenth- and twentieth-century development history. This research has led to the conclusion that there is no potential for the presence of significant precontact or Euro-Canadian archaeological resources that may be impacted by site preparation or construction activities necessitated by the proposed redevelopment. Accordingly, this report recommends that the undertaking be cleared of any further archaeological concern, with the proviso that the appropriate authorities must be notified should deeply buried archaeological or human remains be encountered during any future work on the property.

  • Bringing Queer and Trans Voices Into Creating Safe Inclusive Communities
    LGBTQ2+ Experiences of Public Safety in the Urban Form: Bringing Queer and Trans Voices into Creating Safe Inclusive Communities by Jen Roberton Honours B.A., University of Toronto, 2013 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN PLANNING in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Planning) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2016 © Jen Roberton, 2016 Abstract The Master’s thesis, “LGBTQ2+ Experience of Public Safety in the Urban Form”, seeks to find out how LGBTQ2+ inclusive cities can be planned and designed. Geographies of identity around visibility and passing are used to frame perceived safety in public spaces. Using the City of Toronto as a case study, the thesis unpacks the current state of perceived and experienced public safety as articulated by LGBTQ2+ people. Focus groups, interviews, an online survey and secondary readings are the data sources used. Quantitative and qualitative data on hate crimes and discrimination in Toronto are also triangulated to contextualize queer and trans experiences of harassment, physical assault, discrimination, microaggressions, verbal harassment and sexualized violence. This study challenges conventional feminist safety planning and the concept of normal/abnormal uses espoused by proponents of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) by bringing queer intersectionality to the forefront of discussion. Recommendations stemming from the collected data include sensitivity and inclusivity training for authority figures, poster campaigns on inclusivity, gender neutral bathrooms, better programming, and the breakdown of systemic barriers faced by LGBTQ2+ communities. ii Preface The research is conducted in partnership with METRAC, a Toronto based consulting non-profit that conducts safety audits with the goal of creating safer spaces for women and youth.

  • OLD BUILDINGS, GREAT BEER: Lessons of Adaptive Reuse and Microbreweries in the City of Toronto
    OLD BUILDINGS, GREAT BEER: Lessons of Adaptive Reuse and Microbreweries in the City of Toronto Daren Zuk Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada June 2015 Copyright © Daren Zuk, 2015 A report submitted to the School of Urban and Regional Planning in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban and Regional Planning. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Microbreweries have become increasingly popular in recent years, responding to changing consumer demands and tastes. In Canada, the phenomenon started in the last fifteen years, with microbreweries proving popular among urban, young professionals. To cater to their main demographic, many microbreweries are choosing to locate in dense, mixed-use urban neighbourhoods. This creates a host of planning issues – such as zoning relating to microbrewery’s light industrial status – but also issues surrounding the adaptive reuse of old buildings in which microbreweries locate; both of which have hindered the development of microbreweries in these neighbourhoods. Within the City of Toronto, many microbreweries have chosen to locate in dense, walkable, and traditional mixed-use neighbourhoods. To locate in these neighbourhoods in transition, many microbreweries have opted to adaptively reuse older existing buildings, some of which have heritage significance. The advantages of such older buildings are their affordability, flexibility, and a unique ‘cool’ factor. With the increasing popularity of microbreweries, and other light industrial uses, there is value in investigating further into

  • Brief: Karl Junkin to John Gerretsen
    Ministry of the Environment, Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch, 2 St. Clair Avenue West, Floor 12A, Toronto, Ontario M4V 1L5 To the Honourable John Gerrettsen, Purpose The contents of this document are to illustrate to The Crown, as clearly as possible, serious concerns and consequences of the proposal put forward by Metrolinx for the Georgetown South Service Expansion and Union-Pearson Rail Link, on the CN/GO Weston Subdivision between Bathurst Street and Goreway Drive. Background The Georgetown GO Corridor has been serviced by rail by GO Transit since 1974. It has been studied for expansion to full-day service for about 20 years. Studies and projections indicate the corridor has the highest potential for growth in the GO Transit rail network. Metrolinx is a corporation of The Crown, setup to oversee the planning and implementation of a Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Metrolinx is the proponent of the Georgetown South Service Expansion (GSSE) project, including the Union-Pearson Rail Link (UPRL) as part of the same Environmental Assessment (EA). The Crown’s initiative to have a body put into place for coordinating the various local transit agencies’ and GO Transit’s efforts to improve transit services in the GTHA is laudable. The Crown deserves credit for taking leadership on this issue after over a decade of neglect that started in the 1990s. The Crown setup the Greater Toronto Transportation Authority in June, 2006, branded it Metrolinx in December, 2007, and merged it with GO Transit in May, 2009. The RTP was adopted in November, 2008.

  • Toronto - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Toronto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto Coordinates: 43°42′N 79°24′W From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Toronto (/tɵˈrɒntoʊ/, local /ˈtrɒnoʊ/) is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Toronto Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. The City history of Toronto began in the late 18th century when the British Crown purchased its land from the Mississaugas of the New City of Toronto Credit. The settlement established there became York, which lieutenant governor John Graves Simcoe designated as the capital of Upper Canada. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812. In 1834, York became a city and renamed to Toronto. It was damaged in two huge fires in 1849 and 1904. Since 1954, the city occasionally expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently occurring in 1998. According to the 2011 Census, the city has 2.6 million residents, making it the fifth-most populous city in North America. However, in 2012, the municipal government published a population estimate of 2,791,140, which led to media reports claiming Toronto as the fourth most populous city in North America and the most populous Great Lakes city, surpassing Chicago.[2][3] The census metropolitan area (CMA) had a population of 5,583,064,[4] and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) had a population of 6,054,191 in From top left: Downtown Toronto featuring the CN Tower and the 2011 Census.[5] Toronto is at the heart of the Greater Toronto Financial District from the Toronto Islands, City Hall, the Ontario Area, and of the densely populated region in Southern Ontario Legislative Building, Casa Loma, Prince Edward Viaduct, and the Scarborough Bluffs known as the Golden Horseshoe.
