Geoplanspring 2011 SPRING 2011 GEOPLAN DEPARTMENT OF GEOGRAPHY & PROGRAM IN PLANNING AND THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO ASSOCIATION OF GEOGRAPHY ALUMNI (UTAGA) Celebrating our 75th Anniversary he Department of Geography at the University of Toronto was founded in 1935 and the academic year 2010-11 was therefore our 75th anniversary. We had an excellent celebration, packed Twith events. It started early in September with a display at Robarts Library of more than 100 books authored by geography faculty and alumni. The display was seen by thousands of visitors to the library between September and October. We also put on a special departmen- tal speakers series with the theme of “Intersections” between human and physical geography and between geographers and the community. Twenty-two guest speakers participated and we held special panel sessions on the Tar Sands, Climate Change, the Aboriginal City, and Women and Factory Work in China. The biggest event of the year was a full weekend of activities in mid-September. The weekend began early on Thursday, September 16th, when the Planning Alumni Committee hosted its first Fall Plan- ning Mixer at the Duke of York, in honour of Geography’s 75th. On Friday afternoon, renowned climate change scholar Professor Diana Liverman (MA ‘80) from the University of Arizona gave a public lecture on “Governing Climate”. This was followed by an opening reception and book launch for Reflections on the History of Geography at the University of Toronto. On Saturday, there was a faculty panel ses- sion in the morning on the history of the department and a workshop exploring mapping on the web. We had lunch in the Great Hall at Hart House where alumnus David Phillips, Canada’s foremost weather expert, was the guest speaker. After lunch, a group of novice and expert Geocachers was equipped with GPS devices and set out on a hunt for hidden treasures around the University of Toronto campus. The weekend culminated with two field trips on Sunday, one to visit Evergreen Brick Works, a community environmental centre, and the other to Mount Nemo, a cliff ecosystem on the Niagara Escarpment. We had a excellent turnout at all of the events with participants from the class of ‘48 up to the present day. Thank you everyone for making it such a success—and a special thanks to the members of the 75th Organizing Committee: Robert Lewis, Jenny Lass (BA ’97, MA ’98), Andrew Malcolm, Jane Macijauskas (BA ’96), Jock Galloway, Tamara Soma (MScPl ’10), David Roberts (PhD ABD) and Dick Baine (BA ’51, MA ’52). 75th photo review 1st Row: David Phillips (left) speaks to an audience of alumni, faculty and students (right) at the luncheon held in the Great Hall, Hart House 2nd row: Virginia Maclaren speaks at the book launch (left) for ‘Reflections on the History of Geography at the University of Toronto,’ (right) 3rd row: Jenny Lass and Jane Macijauskas (left) pose while setting up a display of faculty and alumni books at Robarts library (right) 4th row: Alumnus and Evergreen Brickworks General Manager David Stonehouse gives a tour of the old quarry (left) and the visitor’s centre (right) in its final stages before the grand opening, which would occur the following weekend 5th row: Emeritus Professor Tony Davis speaks to GeoTrip attendees (left) on top of Mount Nemo with its views of South Western Ontario (right) PG. 1 CHAIR’S MEssagE IN MEMORIAM by virginia maclaren Thank you to our Alumni Dr. Marie Sanderson his has been an incredibly eventful year In this issue of GeoPlan we would like to thank for the department.

  • 2020 Year in Review
    2020 Year in Review Ed Hore, Chair, Waterfront for All, February 10, 2021 Waterfront for All is an umbrella group of residents associations and other groups interested in the revitalization of the Toronto waterfront from the Rouge River in the east out to the Etobicoke boundary in the west. We love the waterfront and are interested in what happens to it. Here’s a brief run-down on things that happened in 2020. Water Levels Before the pandemic, a major concern along the waterfront was whether 2020 would bring flooding as happened in 2019 and 2017. There was a well-attended meeting about this at the Brigantine Room at Harbourfront on March 3, 2020, attended by politicians and hundreds of residents. This was the last crowded big meeting I went to before Covid shut-down public meetings. In early 2020, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) carried out some quick projects on Toronto Island to alleviate the effects of future floods. For example, they built “beach curbs” east and west of the Ward’s Island ferry dock. These consist of rectangular stones weighing three to five tonnes laid end to end to provide some protection if the water rises. The beach curbs were in place by the end of March. TRCA also raised some sections of the roadway from Wards to Hanlans Point around six inches, so that emergency vehicles could get through in the event of a flood. But in fact no flood happened; the water level of Lake Ontario peaked on May 5, 2020, around 20 inches lower than the peak level in 2019.

She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto where she lectures on the history of architecture. She is also an associate at Goldsmith, Borgal & Company Ltd.

Previous (1921-2010)—an architect who introduced cutting-edge construction techniques positions include Heritage planner at the City of and avant-garde styles to the mid-sized Hamilton, Ontario, and the City of Vaughan, Ontario. Canadian city of Hamilton, Ontario. While not necessarily radical in national or inter- national terms, Roscoe’s buildings were certainly progressive in the regional con- text of the day. As reported in a 1960 article on Roscoe in Time Magazine, his decade-long tenure as city architect brought to Hamilton “ten years of lively argument.”1 This spirited debate was the result of his role as a champion of modern design, within the traditional nineteenth- century Victorian city of Hamilton (fig. 1). The analysis of Roscoe’s oeuvre shows that, in the overall context of architec- ture in Canada, he was very much keep- ing pace with new developments and progress in building systems then being explored by architects across the coun- try. Not only did the writer of the afore- mentioned Time Magazine article boldly contend that Hamilton had received “the most interesting modern architecture in Canada” as a result of Roscoe’s employ- ment as their city architect,2 but a review of other references in the popular press, along with documents found in Roscoe’s personal correspondence,3 also uncovers many other accolades that support an assertion of the architect as a pioneer in modern architecture.
