    Thinking Space: Mathuria 262 Homebound: Reflections on Spatial Difference as a Suburban Child Sunjay Mathuria Concordia University [email protected] _____________________________________ As many of us are now homebound and primarily living virtually, I am reminded of how being at home as a child prompted me to read texts (television and novels) spatially and become more cognizant of spatial differences and injustice. I learned how to read and reflect on my surroundings without leaving the house. Being a first and second generation Canadian child living in a suburban landscape presents unique challenges and opportunities in relation to developing and expressing spatial practices. When coupled with race, gender, class and mobility, the experiences of Canadian children in the suburbs can vary immensely. In my case, I felt largely confined to our home, and in this piece, I will discuss how, as a child, I approached Canadian youth television and young adult historical fiction as spatial texts, which enabled me to reflect on my own relationship with place. Television and literary texts offer those who are spatially limited or less mobile (such as suburban children) to reflect on their own spatial limitations and privileges, conceptualize spatial injustice and connect with other marginalized identities. I think we can even extend these reflections to the current coronavirus pandemic that has gripped our geographical realities. The Image of the Suburb When I was 10 years old, I was in a Toronto-area suburb, living in a large subdivision of meandering crescents, winding roads, looping streets, and cul-de-sacs. Childhood experiences shape how we think about community, space and geography.

  • 685 Queen Street East
    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Alterations to a Heritage Property and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement - 685 Queen Street East Date: April 21, 2021 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Toronto-Danforth - Ward 14 SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the listed heritage property at 685 Queen Street East under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, approve the alterations proposed for the heritage property in connection with a proposed development of the subject property and grant authority to enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement for the subject property. Located on the south side of Queen Street East between the East Don Roadway and Broadview Avenue, the property at 685 Queen Street East, contains the Dr. John B. Fraser office and residence. Constructed in 1903-4, the two-and-a-half storey, brick- clad, hipped and gable-roofed, house-form building is an early example of the medical office-residence typology and is a fine blend of the Richardsonian Romanesque and Edwardian Classical styles. In 1938, the property was converted to contain six apartments and in 1976 it became part of the Riverdale Co-operative Housing Inc. and now provides nine affordable rental housing units. The property contributes architecturally as well as typologically to the eclectic mix of late-19th and early-20th century commercial and residential properties which characterize the historic Queen Street East streetscape.

And a thousand other forms of trivial chatter. We talk about the weather. We talk about work. We talk about everything-- except the elephant in the room. There's an elephant in the room. We all know it is there. We are thinking about the elephant as we talk together. It is constantly on our minds.

It examines properties on First Avenue east of DeGrassi Street, and on West and Tiverton Avenues. It recommends the creation of a Heritage Conservation District (HCD) under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act to assist residents in protecting and restoring the heritage character and fabric within those boundaries. It is expected that on completion of this study, a second study will be undertaken for the remainder of First Avenue from De Grassi Street to Broadview Avenue and adjacent streets. A summary of the importance of these three streets is set out at the beginning of the Heritage Character Statement: “The significance of these streets lies in the large number of original buildings, with the majority of their heritage attributes present or capable of being restored. The streets were some of the earliest developed on the east side of the Don River, and reflect the period of development which stretched from the mid 1880s to the First World War. The houses are a mixture of the “Bay-n-Gable” style, Second Empire Row houses, and examples of modest scaled Edwardian Four Square.

I was texting with a fifteen-year-old boy whom I had a crush on that summer. He never knew I existed when we were at sleep-away camp, but somehow he had acquired my AOL instant messenger screen name. Or maybe I somehow acquired his. That fall we IM’d and talked every day, or rather, I typed sentences and asked leading questions while he typed words like “lol” or “yea.” I was eager to impress the older emo boy from camp. I remember telling him I was nervous to enter the 8th grade, and him saying I shouldn’t worry because, as he said, “you’re not ugly ;)” At the time I probably took it as a compliment; at the time it probably made me squeal in girlish delight. Eventually we exchanged numbers and started texting. I added him to my contacts under a secret nickname, Trenchboy.
