The three-year partnership will see Peoples Jewellers become the Official Jeweller of the Maple Leafs and will feature exciting fan experiences, both in-store and in-arena.

Fans will also be able to celebrate their favourite team over the course of the season through three in-store events at Peoples Jewellers locations in Toronto. “MLSE is extremely excited to welcome Peoples Jewellers as the Official Jeweller of the Toronto Maple Leafs,” said Jeff Deline, Vice President, Global Partnerships, MLSE.

  • The Toronto Ravines Study: 1977-2017 Long-Term Changes in the Biodiversity and Ecological Integrity of Toronto’S Ravines
    The Toronto Ravines Study: 1977-2017 Long-term Changes in the Biodiversity and Ecological Integrity of Toronto’s Ravines Eric Davies, Anqi Dong, Catherine Berka, Paul Scrivener, Dale Taylor, Sandy M Smith Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto - July 2018 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This report would not have come into being without the work of the many individuals who dedicated endless volunteer hours to its realization. Our thanks to: The originators of the 1977 study, our co-authors Paul Scrivener and Dale Taylor, for sticking with the project over the past 40 years, and for getting it going again. Dale and Paul provided the team with a real-life example of ‘citizen science’ in action, and a generational timeline to the past. They made this project an adventure for all of us. Good stewardship of the land is a lifelong affair, and Dale and Paul have exemplified that commitment beyond all expectations. Esther McNeil for walking into the University of Toronto, Faculty of Forestry six years ago and asking: “How can I help save the Toronto ravines?” Esther inspired us to start working in the Toronto ravines, which ultimately led to this project, this report, and a renewed interest in ravine conservation. Catherine Berka for jumping with two feet into this project from day one, and for providing an endless source of positivity, leadership, humour, community outreach, and every day hard work. The project would simply not be what it is today without the heart and soul of our other co-author, Catherine. This project has benefited tremendously from the expertise, cooperation, and guidance of many people, especially in The City of Toronto, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, local nature groups, and countless citizens.

Lead: City of Toronto Transportation Services Mode: Cycling Accessibility: Moderate cycling, uneven surfaces This WalkShop is co-sponsored by WSP. If You Build (Parking) They Will Come: Bicycle Parking in Toronto Providing safe, accessible, and convenient bicycle parking is an essential part of any city's effort to support increased bicycle use.

  • Downsview Area Secondary Plan 7
    7 DOWNSVIEW AREA SECONDARY PLAN 7. DOWNSVIEW AREA SECONDARY PLAN 1. VISION AND GOALS The Downsview Area Secondary Plan Area is centrally located in the City and presents a unique opportunity to develop a significant national urban park, new residential neighbourhoods and employment areas, in a park like setting and well served by public transit that complements the Government of Canada’s planned National Urban Park. The Secondary Plan area is located on high lands between the Don River and Black Creek watersheds, resulting in long views to the south and southwest. The lands also have a strong aviation and military heritage. De Havilland established operations in the area in 1929, the lands were the centre of Canada’s production of military airplanes during World War II, and from World War II up to the mid-1990’s Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Downsview occupied a large portion of the Secondary Plan area. In the mid 1990’s the federal government announced its intention to close the base and establish a national urban park on the lands. Downsview Park is currently under development by the federal crown corporation Parc Downsview Park Inc. (PDPI) and is envisioned to become a national urban park that supports a wide range of parkland, cultural and recreation uses of local, regional and national interest. The Downsview Area Secondary Plan provides a land use and development framework that supports the significant public investment in rapid transit infrastructure and the National Urban Park, and achieves a mix of transit-supportive land uses of a high quality of urban design.
