The book began in the 1990s as “Earlscourt in Pictures” and focused on the area around Dufferin/St. Clair Branch of the Toronto Public Library. Earlscourt was a small, unin- corporated community in the first decades of the 20th century. Its boundaries were rough- ly the City of Toronto limits to the north, the Canadian Pacific Railway tracks to the south, Dufferin Street on the east, and the Grand Trunk Railway (now the Canadian National Railway) tracks to the west. However, Earlscourt’s roots went back into the 19th century, and its history flowed east and west of Earlscourt's boundaries. Many of the district’s earliest settlers were asso- ciated with Carlton and Davenport, two small villages west of Earlscourt, established in the 1850s. These communities were the real beginnings of urban development in this part of Toronto. There was also the community of Oakwood, an early 20th-century subdivision along St. Clair east of Earlscourt. People in the York Township districts of North Earlscourt, Fairbank, Silverthorn, and Rowntree used St. Clair Avenue for shopping and transit. St. Clair West in Pictures reflects the enlarged area, bounded roughly by Winona Drive on the east, Old Weston Road on the west, the CPR tracks on the south, and Toronto’s pre-1998 limits on the north. Part I follows the chronological development of the area from the time of Aboriginal portage routes and encampments to the present day. Part II high- lights outstanding personalities, institutions, landmarks, and groups. First published in 1997, St. Clair West in Pictures was a critical and popular success and quickly sold out, necessitating a second edition in 1999. We are gratified that the book has been so well received and has contributed to an awakened appreciation for St. Clair West’s rich heritage. It has served as a catalyst for such projects as the mural restoration at the Dufferin/St. Clair Library, and an information source for several community studies, for example, many of the 50 interpretive panels placed at streetcar stops on St. Clair’s new dedicated right-of-way. The third edition, like the second, is ‘revised and enlarged’ with considerable new content and images. Todd Bennett of Wee Studios did an admirable job of incorporating this new material into the third edition and designing attractive new covers. 2 We are grateful to many Toronto Public Library staff that helped with the third edition. Particular recognition is due to Joanne Bar, who prepared the index, and Laurie Ruscica and Teresa Stangl-Walker for their assistance with a myriad of tasks. We appreciate the support of managers Phyllis Malette, Cheryl Skovronek, Cynthia Toniolo, and Dufferin/St. Clair Branch Head Caroline Ingvaldsen. Staff and volunteers at several other organizations provided information for the third edition, including City of Toronto Archives, West Toronto Historical Society and the Toronto Transit Commission (Mike DeToma and Diego Sinagoga). Thanks also to David Raymont, who shared his research on the Earlscourt paintings of Lawren Harris and a photograph of a house in Fairbank. We are especially grateful to three local residents who been involved with the book from the beginning, and who gave financial and editorial support for the third edition.

  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

Cars, buses and emergency vehicles alike were forced to turn left, entering the infamous "Dufferin Jog". This three block circuitous route through a residential neighborhood added only time and confusion to those wishing to travel further south. Delcan was contracted to remedy this by designing and engineering a smart solution that would seamlessly link the two parts of Dufferin Street. The City of Toronto billed this project as an exercise in "urban place-making", wanting to both improve access and revitalize a community at the same time. Delcan's crisp urban design met these requirements
