    Thursday, October 8, 2015 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS and PEOPLES

    Thursday, October 8, 2015 TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS AND PEOPLES JEWELLERS ANNOUNCE MULTI-YEAR PARTNERSHIP TORONTO, ON - The Toronto Maple Leafs and Canada’s number one diamond store, Peoples Jewellers, have announced a multi-year partnership that will commence with the 2015-2016 NHL season. The three-year partnership will see Peoples Jewellers become the Official Jeweller of the Maple Leafs and will feature exciting fan experiences, both in-store and in-arena. A highlight of the partnership is the “Ultimate Penalty Kill” promotion, which will give one Leafs fan at each home game the opportunity to win jewelry from Peoples Jewellers should the Leafs score a short-handed goal during a penalty kill. “We are truly thrilled to be the Official Jeweller of the Toronto Maple Leafs and excited by the unique opportunity we have to deliver memorable experiences for fans and guests,” said Scott Davies, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Peoples Jewellers. “From the interactive in-arena promotions to the special in-store events we have planned, this will be an amazing season both on and off the ice.” In addition to the “Ultimate Penalty Kill” promotion, Peoples will also have a strong in-arena presence at the Air Canada Centre, including branding on the Bremner Board in Maple Leaf Square, concourse signage and executive suite digital screen prominence. Fans will also be able to celebrate their favourite team over the course of the season through three in-store events at Peoples Jewellers locations in Toronto. “MLSE is extremely excited to welcome Peoples Jewellers as the Official Jeweller of the Toronto Maple Leafs,” said Jeff Deline, Vice President, Global Partnerships, MLSE.

    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.

  • 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment

    3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment

    ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT 3. Description of the Potentially Affected Environment The purpose of Chapter 3 is to present an overview of the environment potentially affected by the SWP to create familiarity with issues to be addressed and the complexity of the environment likely to be affected by the Project. All aspects of the environment within the Project Study Area (see Figure 2- 1 in Chapter 2) relevant to the Project and its potential effects have been described in this chapter. The chapter is divided into three sections which capture different components of the environment: 1. Physical environment: describes the coastal and geotechnical processes acting on the Project Study Area; 2. Natural environment: describes terrestrial and aquatic habitat and species; and, 3. Socio-economic environment: describes existing and planned land use, land ownership, recreation, archaeology, cultural heritage, and Aboriginal interests. The description of the existing environment is based on the information from a number of studies, which have been referenced in the relevant sections. Additional field surveys were undertaken where appropriate. Where applicable, future environmental conditions are also discussed. For most components of the environment, existing conditions within the Project Area or Project Study Area are described. Where appropriate, conditions within the broader Regional Study Area are also described. 3.1 Physical Environment Structures and property within slopes, valleys and shorelines may be susceptible to damage from natural processes such as erosion, slope failures and dynamic beaches. These processes become natural hazards when people and property locate in areas where they normally occur (MNR, 2001). Therefore, understanding physical natural processes is vital to developing locally-appropriate Alternatives in order to meet Project Objectives.

    A Map of Toronto’s Cultural Facilities A Cultural Facilities Analysis 03.01.10 Prepared for: Rita Davies Managing Director of Culture Division of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism Prepared by: ERA Architects Inc. Urban Intelligence Inc. Cuesta Systems Inc. Executive Summary In 1998, seven municipalities, each with its own distinct cultural history and infrastructure, came together to form the new City of Toronto. The process of taking stock of the new city’s cultural facilities was noted as a priority soon after amalgamation and entrusted to the newly formed Culture Division. City Council on January 27, 2000, adopted the recommendations of the Policy and Finance Committee whereby the Commissioner of Economic Development, Culture and Tourism was requested to proceed with a Cultural Facilities Masterplan including needs assessment and business cases for new arts facilities, including the Oakwood - Vaughan Arts Centre, in future years. This report: > considers the City of Toronto’s role in supporting cultural facilities > documents all existing cultural facilities > provides an approach for assessing Toronto’s cultural health. Support for Toronto’s Cultural Facilities Through the Culture Division, the City of Toronto provides both direct and indirect support to cultural activities. Direct support consists of : > grants to individual artists and arts organizations > ongoing operating and capital support for City-owned and operated facilities. Indirect support consists of: > property tax exemptions > below-market rents on City-owned facilities > deployment of Section 37 development agreements. A Cultural Facilities Inventory A Cultural Facility Analysis presents and interprets data about Toronto’s cultural facilities that was collected by means of a GIS (Global Information System) database.
