    Exhibition Place Master Plan – Phase 1 Proposals Report

    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

In the course of wandering around the Toronto area, I've learned a lot about the history of Great Waters Challenge #1 the city, and am excited to share my findings with you. In Toronto, there are two prominent rivers that run into Lake Ontario - Humber River and Don River. All of them (Humber River, Don River, and Lake Ontario) have interesting tidbits of history, and I've found landmarks relating to each. Here goes: 1. Humber Bay Arch Bridge Photo taken on one of my recent bike rides along the Martin Goodman Trail This is a beautiful bridge. Over the past few years, I've biked or run on this bridge many times, and have always marveled at its architecture and beauty. However, it was not until this water challenge that I actually sat down to research its history. The bridge is located where the Humber River empties into Lake Ontario, and it connects what was "Old Toronto" with "Etobicoke".

    What’s Out There? Toronto - 1 - What’s Out There - Toronto The Guide The Purpose “Cultural Landscapes provide a sense of place and identity; they map our relationship with the land over time; and they are part of our national heritage and each of our lives” (TCLF). These landscapes are important to a city because they reveal the influence that humans have had on the natural environment in addition to how they continue to interact with these land- scapes. It is significant to learn about and understand the cultural landscapes of a city because they are part of the city’s history. The purpose of this What’s Out There Guide-Toronto is to identify and raise public awareness of significant landscapes within the City of Toron- to. This guide sets out the details of a variety of cultural landscapes that are located within the City and offers readers with key information pertaining to landscape types, styles, designers, and the history of landscape, including how it has changed overtime. It will also provide basic information about the different landscape, the location of the sites within the City, colourful pic- tures and maps so that readers can gain a solid understanding of the area. In addition to educating readers about the cultural landscapes that have helped shape the City of Toronto, this guide will encourage residents and visitors of the City to travel to and experience these unique locations. The What’s Out There guide for Toronto also serves as a reminder of the im- portance of the protection, enhancement and conservation of these cultural landscapes so that we can preserve the City’s rich history and diversity and enjoy these landscapes for decades to come.
