DOWNSVIEW HUB Community Engagement & Programming DOWNSVIEW HUB Community Engagement & Programming What is Downsview Hub? Located at 70 Canuck Ave., Downsview Hub is an on-site community engagement space created by Canada Lands Company to cultivate community building opportunities, and strengthen public participation in the Downsview area. Overall, our goal is to strengthen and support the Downsview community by providing the neighbourhood with a central gathering place, a source of information and resources on all things Downsview, and a place to be exposed to exciting Toronto organizations and groups with valuable initiatives. The Hub will allow programming partners to connect with the Downsview community, gain exposure to different audiences, and explore opportunities at the Downsview Lands. We are looking to key organizations in the community and the City of Toronto to help develop collaborative programming that will encourage activity and participation at Downsview while introducing participants to organizations and groups like yours that are part of exciting initiatives in Toronto. When is the Downsview Hub open? The Hub is currently open on the 2nd and 4th sunday of each month from 10 am to 2 pm, as well as for special events. Check the Downsview Lands website, www.downsviewpark.ca for updated hours. How do I book the Hub? To book the Hub, please contact Allison Best at [email protected]. Where is Downsview Hub located? The Hub is located in Downsview Park in a 2700 sqft. space on the 1st floor at 70 Canuck Ave., suite 102, near the intersection of Sheppard Avenue and Keele Street. What facilities are provided at Downsview Hub? The Hub will be outfitted with tables, chairs, and a television. Basic facilities such as restrooms are available. The Hub will include a physical model of the Downsview Lands, project information panels, and a boardroom table. The building has surface parking available and is located adjacent to the urban agricultural space. How do you get to Downsview Hub? Downsview Hub is accessible by car and public transit routes. From Sheppard West subway station, bus routes 84, 101, 106, and 108B will bring you to Keele St. and Sheppard Ave., a short walk from 70 Canuck Ave. From Downsview Park Subway/GO station it is a 18 minute walk. 1 What opportunities exist for programming the Hub? We are looking for the Hub to become a vibrant space, welcome to everyone. While components of the installations are permanent the space is easily transformed to suit different needs. We envision: • Art installations and showcases • Exhibits on urban issues • Walkshops that explore features of Downsview Park • Lectures on urban issues • Cultural events of all kinds • Hands-on Workshops • Meeting space for community groups What are the next steps? We are really excited about the possibility of developing programming opportunities with you! In order to streamline the process, we would like to receive an overview from your organization outlining the event(s) you envision at the Downsview Hub. Your proposal should include details such as dates, length and time of events, material or equipment requirements, anticipated attendance, and target audience. Who is Canada Lands Company?

  • Bathurst Manor
    Canadian Jewish Studies / Études juives canadiennes, vol. 31, 2021 181 Donna Bernardo-Ceriz A Jewish Tale of Suburbia: Bathurst Manor 182 Donna Bernado-Ceriz / A Jewish Tale of Suburbia: Bathurst Manor How does one tell the story of a neighbourhood? If examining the changing and de- veloping physical landscape, then records are in no short supply at various govern- ment archives: census records, municipal planning records, maps, assessment roles, directories, building surveys, and aerial photographs, to name only a few. Retelling the experiences of a community of people, however, requires a slightly different re- search strategy. Personal papers, photographs, letters, home movies, and oral histo- ries offer a glimpse into the lives of residents. Organizational records can provide insight into the cultural, religious, and social needs of a community and the services offered. But what if those records do not exist or cannot easily be located? The Ontario Jewish Archives (OJA) receive over 650 research requests each year. If we divide that by the number of working days (ignoring vacations, stat, and Jewish hol- idays), that equals 2.5 inquiries every day. Some of these inquiries are fairly quick and straightforward, and some are long, protracted research endeavours. We also receive over 50,000 unique users to our website each year; researchers whom we never in- teract with and whose research we never hear about. Of these research requests, a sizable number are related to Jewish spaces and shifting landscapes. “I’m researching the history of Kensington Market”; “Do you have any records on The Ward?”; “I’d like to study the small communities in Ontario”; “I’m interested in how Bathurst Street became the spine of Toronto’s Jewish community.” While these questions may appear well defined, it is the archivist’s job to determine what the researcher is actually asking.

    IMMEDIATE RELEASE: JULY 25, 2019 Pursuit Wins Bid to Expand Flight Ride Experience to Toronto Brand new attraction showcasing Canada and its people to launch near the base of the CN Tower Vancouver (July 25, 2019) – Pursuit, part of Viad Corp (NYSE: VVI), announced today that it will expand its flight ride concept to Toronto. Modeled after Pursuit’s highly successful FlyOver attraction in Vancouver, the new FlyOver Canada location will provide guests with a brand-new flight ride experience featuring the country’s most iconic locations, picturesque landscapes and natural wonders.

  • Ethnic Grocery Retailers and Perceptions of Food Access in Humbermede, Toronto
    DISRUPTING THE FOOD DESERT/OASIS BINARY: ETHNIC GROCERY RETAILERS AND PERCEPTIONS OF FOOD ACCESS IN HUMBERMEDE, TORONTO MICHAEL CHROBOK A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO September 2014 © Michael Chrobok, 2014 Abstract Contemporary studies of food accessibility often disregard ‘ethnic’ grocery retailers as sources of food or assume them to be attractive to all individuals. This body of research also frequently frames access as an issue of spatial proximity to grocery stores. Drawing on thirty interviews I conducted with residents of Humbermede, Toronto, I explore how food accessibility is perceived and experienced in a culturally-diverse neighbourhood where the only grocery retailers present are ethnic in nature. I argue that identity-related factors (food preferences, ethnic identification, language, and attitudes towards difference) and aspects of one’s life circumstances (purchasing power, mobility, and location or length of residence) – not merely distance – coalesce to influence understandings of one’s food retail environment and one’s store patronage decisions. These findings suggest that food shoppers are not homogenous, that all retailers are not equally attractive to all consumers, and that food accessibility has critical socio-cultural, economic, and spatiotemporal components. ii Dedication For my late Nana, who sparked my interest in food accessibility. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank the thirty residents of Humbermede, Toronto who took the time out of their busy schedules to share their perspectives with me during interviews. Their insights were invaluable and made this thesis possible.
