  • Toronto Has No History!’
    ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY By Victoria Jane Freeman A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto ©Copyright by Victoria Jane Freeman 2010 ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ ABSTRACT ‘TORONTO HAS NO HISTORY!’ INDIGENEITY, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND HISTORICAL MEMORY IN CANADA’S LARGEST CITY Doctor of Philosophy 2010 Victoria Jane Freeman Graduate Department of History University of Toronto The Indigenous past is largely absent from settler representations of the history of the city of Toronto, Canada. Nineteenth and twentieth century historical chroniclers often downplayed the historic presence of the Mississaugas and their Indigenous predecessors by drawing on doctrines of terra nullius , ignoring the significance of the Toronto Purchase, and changing the city’s foundational story from the establishment of York in 1793 to the incorporation of the City of Toronto in 1834. These chroniclers usually assumed that “real Indians” and urban life were inimical. Often their representations implied that local Indigenous peoples had no significant history and thus the region had little or no history before the arrival of Europeans. Alternatively, narratives of ethical settler indigenization positioned the Indigenous past as the uncivilized starting point in a monological European theory of historical development. i i iii In many civic discourses, the city stood in for the nation as a symbol of its future, and national history stood in for the region’s local history. The national replaced ‘the Indigenous’ in an ideological process that peaked between the 1880s and the 1930s.

  • Beaches Plan Plan Decemberjanuary 2009 2008 Marie Curtis Park  Message from the Mayor
    ROUGE · BLUFFER’S PARK · BALMY – KEW · WOODBINE · greatbeaches... great city, CHERRY · WARD’S ISLAND · TORONTO BEACHES PLAN TORONTO BEACHES PLAN CENTRE ISLAND · GIBRALTAR POINT · HANLAN’S POINT December January · SUNNYSIDE · 2009 EAST 2008 MARIE CURTIS PARK MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Revitalizing Toronto’s waterfront is a priority for all Torontonians. Ensuring that our beaches are clean and accessible is essential to making that revitalization happen. As places to play and enjoy nature, they contribute to and enhance the quality of life in Toronto. Because of the tremendous importance of beaches, it’s not surprising that Toronto is so focused on creating great public spaces along the waterfront and making our beaches more swimmable. As Founding Chair of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative, I know that communities within this region are taking steps to improve their beaches. As Canada’s biggest city, we must lead by example. I’m proud that Toronto was the first community in Canada to certify its swimming beaches under the international Blue Flag program. The Blue Flag has now been raised at six of our beaches. This is a great start, but we shouldn’t be satisfied until all of our beaches are certified – and until every beach is open for swimming every day during the summer. We’ve made great progress over the past five years in improving Toronto’s beaches. The Toronto Beaches Plan lays out the actions needed to make our beaches cleaner, safer, more usable, more accessible and greener. It’s a broad agenda, ranging from water quality to amenities to programming.

  • Fact Sheet Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Terminal A
    Fact Sheet Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Terminal A Restoration Quick Facts Terminal A was designed and built by Toronto Harbour Commission (Toronto Port Authority’s predecessor), with construction completed in 1939. The building served as the airport’s terminal from 1939 until 2010. The Federal Government recognized Terminal A as a national historic building in 1989. The building was moved from its original site to the south side of the airport runway in 2012. In June 2014, the Toronto Port Authority (TPA) announced an agreement in principle to repair, restore and re-open the historic Terminal A building at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (BBTCA) as a public space and hub for the general aviation community. Terminal A: Overview Prior to the opening of the new terminal in 2010, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport’s Terminal A building served as the airport’s primary terminal. From 1939 to 2010, the building’s ground floor was used for passenger and baggage handling while the second floor served as the airport’s administrative space. The Toronto Port Authority has invested significant resources into preserving the historic Terminal A building and its aviation heritage and moving the building to its current site. Recognized as a national historic building in 1989 by the Federal Government, the Terminal A building is a rare, surviving example of early airport terminal construction. It is one of the oldest buildings of its kind in Canada and one of only a few in the world. A similar building to Terminal A at Malton Airport, now Toronto Pearson International Airport, was torn down in the 1960s.
