  • Studying Personal Communities in East York
    STUDYING PERSONAL COMMUNITIES IN EAST YORK Barry Wellman Research Paper No. 128 Centre for Urban and Community Studies University of Toronto April, 1982 ISSN: 0316-0068 ISBN: 0-7727-1288-3 Reprinted July 1982 ABSTRACT Network analysis has contributed to the study of community through its focus on structured social relationships and its de-emphasis of local solidarities. Yet the initial surveys of community networks were limited in scope and findings. Our research group is now using network analysis as a comprehensive structural approach to studying the place of community networks within large-scale divisions of labour. This paper reports on the analytical concerns, research design and preliminary findings of our new East York study of "personal communities". - 11 - STUDYING PERSONAL COMMUNITIES IN EAST YORK 1 OLD AND NEW CAMPAIGNS Generals often want to refight their last war; academics often want to redo their last study. The reasons are the same. The passage of time has made them aware of mistakes in strategy, preparations and analysis. New concepts and tools have come along to make the job easier. Others looking at the same events now claim to know better. If only we could do the job again! With such thoughts in mind, I want to look at where network analyses of communities have come from and where they are likely to go. However, I propose to spend less time in refighting the past (in part, because the battles have been successful) than in proposing strategic objectives for the present and future. In this paper, I take stock of the current state of knowledge in three ways: First, I relate community network studies to fundamental concerns of both social network analysis and urban sociology.

  • East York History Bike Ride
    East York History Bike Ride Presented by Ward 29 Bikes and The East York Historical Society East York History Bike Ride 2 East York History Bike Ride Welcome! Welcome to the inaugural East York History bike ride, offered by Ward 29 Bikes and the East York Historical Society. We hope that you enjoy this self-guided tour that visits some of the interesting historical sites in and around Ward 29. At a leisurely pace, this ride should take between 90 minutes and two hours, including all stops. Caution! Although most of the recommended route follows quiet residential streets or bike lanes, short sections are on main neighbourhood roads. Please use discretion at all times, especially if you’re riding with children. Cross streets only at intersections or marked crossings. If you are using a pedestrian crossing, dismount and walk your bike across the street. Every crossing of a main street on this tour is at or within a block of a stop light or crosswalk. Don’t be afraid to make a short detour if traffic is too busy to cross. Always ride on the right side of the road. When you pull over at a site, pull your bikes right off the road and out of traffic. Privacy Many of the sites that you’ll see today are private residences; please respect the privacy of the people living there. Above all, have fun, and good riding! 3 East York History Bike Ride Playter Gardens 4 Cambridge Avenue Captain George Playter of the British army was given a grant of 500 acres of land near the Don River in 1793.

S. Walter Stewart Branch Area 1. Why is East York celebrating 200 years in 1996? In July of 1796, two brothers, Isaiah and Aaron Skinner were given permission to build a grist mill in the Don Valley, which they proceeded to do that winter. This began an industrial complex of paper mill, grist mill, brewery and distillery with later additions. In 1996, East York is celebrating 200 years of community.

Leaside is a thriving midtown suburb of Toronto, Ontario, Canada situated just to the west and north of the Don River. Leaside’s distinctive cultural heritage landscape evolved from the overlaying of the following: the natural and pre-settlement landscape, the agricultural settlement landscape, the mod- el town designed in 1912 by Frederick Todd, the ensuing residential develop- ment of the late 1920s to the 1950s, and its contemporary development Pre-settlement Landscape The Leaside area was affected by a series of ancient Ice Ages, which covered cover: Aerial orthographic photo of Leaside, 1942 above: Courtyard, Garden Court Apartments the land with a succession of glaciers and large lakes.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register – Laird in Focus – 90 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road
    ~TORONTO REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register – Laird in Focus – 90 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road Date: October 7, 2019 To: Toronto Preservation Board North York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Preservation Services, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 15 – Don Valley West SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council include the properties at 90 Laird Drive, 180 Laird Drive and 20 Research Road on the City of Toronto Heritage Register. The properties are located on the west side of Laird Drive between Vanderhoof Avenue and Millwood Road and the north side of Research Road. As part of the Laird in Focus Planning Study, City Planning initiated a Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) to ensure that all properties of cultural heritage value or interest were appropriately identified, understood and conserved as part of an up-to- date planning framework. The three properties identified for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register, along with the four properties already listed on Laird Drive highlight the 1920s -1940s as a period of significance in the development of Leaside, when many finely crafted buildings were constructed as part of the Town of Leaside's growth. Together, the six properties on Laird Drive enrich the understanding of the area's sense of place and demonstrate the continued importance of this historic commercial and industrial spine for Leaside's growth and prosperity. The property on Research Road is one of the rare surviving structures representing Leaside's major contribution to Canada's military in both world wars.
