  • 20TEY Dear Sirs, I Am an Owner and Resident of 24 Highview
    coa.tey From: Peter Harries-Jones <[email protected]> Sent: May 25, 2021 12:12 PM To: coa.tey Cc: [email protected] File number B0086/20TEY A1097/20TEY A1098/ 20TEY Dear Sirs, I am an owner and resident of 24 Highview Crescent, along with my wife, Rosalind Gill. I would like to support the content of the letter sent to you recently by Kate Stewart and Bret Dawson of 29 Highview Crescent regarding the proposed application for permission to build a house next door to them on the property of 15 Highview Crescent. We fully support their objections to proposed construction of a building there. The proposed building is almost directly opposite our own property and our objections are a) aesthetics - that it would effectively destroy the notion of Highview Crescent as a ‘crescent’ b) that the building of a property there would be ecologically damaging and c) that during the period of construction, the buildings on the eastern side of the building site , under present traffic regulations on the street, would be effectively blocked from entry to their property because of construction traffic parked on the street. A) Aesthetics. Highview Crescent is named a ‘crescent’ because of the curve in the road and the evident vacant space created by a set back of housing on that curve. Currently this very evident physical highlight of the street, is crowned by the existence of two ‘survivor ‘ elms right on that site. I believe that the requisite department of Toronto City Council has made a survey of ‘survivor’ elms in the city, and I read a couple of years ago that only 23 elms survive in the downtown of Toronto.

  • Music Strategy Downtown Yonge Bia June 2015 Is Music Important to Toronto?
    MUSIC STRATEGY DOWNTOWN YONGE BIA JUNE 2015 IS MUSIC IMPORTANT TO TORONTO? Research shows that the arts matter to Torontonians in diverse and profound ways. Not only do arts and culture contribute $11.3 billion to the city’s economy every year, they also employ 174,0001 people. The arts bring tourists to the city, help support local business, and create a more livable city. Music, in particular, is dear to Torontonians. The city is the largest music market in Canada, the fifth largest in North America, and home to record labels and recording studios, plus both commercial and not-for-profit music enterprises2. WHAT DOES MUSIC HAVE TO DO WITH A BIA? Quite a lot, as it turns out. An effective BIA develops a keen understanding of economic development opportunities for its businesses and its district economy. Typically, competitiveness comes from offering something unique— something that is irreplaceable. The idea of a music strategy is to preserve a distinctly unique Toronto experience and connect that to a distinctly unique Toronto future, to generate economic vitality. Perhaps most important is the role that a BIA can play to advocate for the music sector with federal, provincial and local funding agencies. Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (DYBIA), for example, acts a facilitator and partner in support of various music events, including: • DYBIA partnered with MonstrARTity to secure funding through the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund (OCAF) to present the Monster Rock Orchestra on Yonge-Dundas Square in May 2015; and 1 Toronto Arts Foundation, www.torontoartsresearch. • DYBIA’s summer ambassador team, which has been partly funded by Service org/artsfacts Canada in the past, works as event support throughout the summer months.
