Reconfiguration Environmental Assessment Archaeological Baseline Conditions Report 2014 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Report entitled Archaeological Assessment Baseline Conditions Report, has been prepared to document the baseline conditions in the Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard East Environmental Assessment (referred to as the Gardiner East EA) study area. Waterfront Toronto and the City of Toronto (City) are jointly undertaking an Individual Environmental Assessment (EA) to determine the future of the eastern portion of the elevated Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard from approximately Lower Jarvis Street to approximately Leslie Street (referred to as the Gardiner East EA). Waterfront Toronto and the City are committed to a fully-integrated study process that consists of: 1) An urban design that yields a vision or multiple visions(s) for the future of the area occupied presently by the elevated Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard; and, 2) An Individual Environmental Assessment (EA) pursuant to the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) for proposed changes to the existing Gardiner Expressway and Lake Shore Boulevard. The Gardiner East EA commenced in 2009 with the preparation of the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the study. The ToR set out the study process to be followed in conducting the Individual EA, including a description of how the public, stakeholders, Aboriginal communities, and agencies will be consulted throughout the process. The ToR is available as Appendix A to the EA Report and was approved by the Minister of the Environment in December 2009. 1.1 Purpose of the Baseline Conditions Report This Report has been prepared to document the archaeological baseline conditions in the study area. The Gardiner East EA Study follows a planning approach where environmental constraints or opportunities are considered in the context of the broadly defined environment under the EAA (i.e., the natural environment as well as the social, economic and heritage and other “environments” relevant to the undertaking). This Report will form part of the supporting documentation for the Gardiner East EA Study.

Weaver NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 407 i i HiES IS ABSTRACT THESIS ABSTRACT: 11 By and For the Large Propertied Interests: The Dynamics of Local Government in Six Upper Canadian Towns During the Era of Commercial Capitalism, 1832-1860." This dissertation analyzes the dynamics of local government in six communities Brockville, Hamilton, Kingston, Ottawa, St. Catharines and Toronto. Traditional politico-constitutional histories were obsessed with tracing the steady growth of participatory democracy at the local level. In contrast, this study adopts a more critical perspective, documenting the manner in which local elites utilized municipal government to shape the development of the province's urban communities. Among the relevant issues examined are the incorporation of towns and cities, the regulation of the public market, the expansion of municipal services, the subsidization of i nterna1 improvement projects, and the struggle to preserve public order and morality.

THE CORE CIRCLE Re-imagine the valleys, bluffs and islands encircling the Downtown as a fully interconnected 900-hectare immersive landscape system THE CORE CIRLE 30 THE CORE CIRLE PUBLIC WORK 31 TRANSFORMATIVE IDEA 1. THE CORE CIRCLE N The Core Circle re-imagines the valleys, bluffs and islands E encircling the Downtown as a fully connected 900-hectare immersive landscape system W S The Core Circle seeks to improve and offer opportunities to reconnect the urban fabric of the Downtown to its surrounding natural features using the streets, parks and open spaces found around the natural setting of Downtown Toronto including the Don River Valley and ravines, Lake Ontario, the Toronto Islands, Garrison Creek and the Lake Iroquois shoreline. Connecting these large landscape features North: Davenport Road Bluff, Toronto, Canada will create a continuous circular network of open spaces surrounding the Downtown, accessible from both the core and the broader city. The Core Circle re- imagines the Downtown’s framework of valleys, bluffs and islands as a connected 900-hectare landscape system and immersive experience, building on Toronto’s strong identity as a ‘city within a park’ and providing opportunities to acknowledge our natural setting and connect to the history of our natural landscapes. East: Don River Valley Ravine and Rosedale Valley Ravine, Toronto, Canada Historically, the natural landscape features that form the Core Circle were used by Indigenous peoples as village sites, travelling routes and hunting and gathering lands. They are regarded as sacred landscapes and places for spiritual renewal. The Core Circle seeks to re-establish our connection to these landscapes.

  • Redeveloping the Distillery District, Toronto
    Place Differentiation: Redeveloping the Distillery District, Toronto by Vanessa Kirsty Mathews A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Geography University of Toronto © Copyright by Vanessa Kirsty Mathews 2010 Place Differentiation: Redeveloping the Distillery District, Toronto Doctor of Philosophy Vanessa Kirsty Mathews, 2010 Department of Geography University of Toronto Abstract What role does place differentiation play in contemporary urban redevelopment processes, and how is it constructed, practiced, and governed? Under heightened forms of interurban competition fueled by processes of globalization, there is a desire by place- makers to construct and market a unique sense of place. While there is consensus that place promotion plays a role in reconstructing landscapes, how place differentiation operates – and can be operationalized – in processes of urban redevelopment is under- theorized in the literature. In this thesis, I produce a typology of four strategies of differentiation – negation, coherence, residue, multiplicity – which reside within capital transformations and which require activation by a set of social actors. I situate these ideas via an examination of the redevelopment of the Gooderham and Worts distillery, renamed the Distillery District, which opened to the public in 2003. Under the direction of the private sector, the site was transformed from a space of alcohol production to a space of cultural consumption. The developers used a two pronged approach for the site‟s redevelopment: historic preservation and arts-led regeneration. Using a mixed method approach including textual analysis, in-depth interviews, visual analysis, and site observation, I examine the strategies used to market the Distillery as a distinct place, and the effects of this marketing strategy on the valuation of art, history, and space.

"The Laws Are Like Cobwebs": Popular Resistance to Authority in Mid-Nineteenth Century British North America Michael S. Cross* The three men began their work on the morning of 26 January 1850. They were in the snowy street of the village of St.-Grrgoire le Grand, on the St. Lawrence south shore, to assess the population for school taxes. Hardly had they begun when they were confronted by a mob of three hundred angry men who ordered them to stop, tore up and burned their assessment books, and warned them not to attempt to carry out the government's work. A week later, on 2 February, the assessors went to the grand jury of the Court of Queen's Bench at Trois Rivi~res, seeking an accusation for rioting against the ringleaders of the St.- Grgoire resistance.
