  • Midtown in Focus Parks and Public Realm Plan Part 3 of 3
    Attachment 2 - Part 3 of 3 CHAPTER 8 CITY OF TORONTO 2018 102 A CONNECTED AND VERSATILE NETWORK OF PUBLIC PARKS The parkland analysis and public feedback received have been synthesized with new park spaces previously identified as part of the 2014 Midtown in Focus: Parks, Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan to create a connected and versatile network of public parks for Midtown (Figure 11). The network capitalizes on the area’s existing park assets with an eye to expanding these parks and making better use of these spaces to support local needs. It also identifies a series of proposed public parks of all shapes and sizes throughout the area. In some instances, the identification of proposed parks is opportunistic to complement and further strengthen the Public Realm Moves or to recognize the transformative potential associated with the existing subway trench and Davisville Yard. In other instances, a practical approach has been taken to provide new park spaces capable of accommodating a range of locally-oriented passive and active activities throughout the area that will not only provide new park spaces, but also fill in missing gaps. Taken as a whole, the network of public parks that will be created responds to the challenges and opportunities facing Midtown both now and into the future. It has the potential to add at least 17 hectares of new parkland to Midtown’s existing 26.2 hectares of parkland. 103 Figure 11: Parks and Open Space Network Plan BLYTHWOOD ROAD Sherwood Park BRIAR HILL ROAD SHERWOOD AVE KEEWATIN AVE ROSELAWN AVE

  • Fairmont Royal York Transformation
    FAIRMONT ROYAL YORK TRANSFORMATION THE NEXT CHAPTER AT TORONTO’S MOST CELEBRATED ADDRESS Reimagined Common Areas. Modern Meeting & Event Spaces. A Redefined Fairmont Gold. New Food & Beverage Experiences. TORONTO, CANADA – FEBRUARY 2019 This year, Fairmont Royal York celebrates its 90th anniversary. Since 1929, the hotel has welcomed millions of travellers from around the globe, lit up the silver screen as the most filmed location in Toronto and played host to the city’s most unforgettable moments including the G20 Summit, Bill Clinton’s 60th birthday and the Queen’s Jubilee. Now, the iconic Canadian landmark will mark its next historic chapter with a majestic transformation, honouring the icon’s timeless grandeur while entering a new era of luxury. In the final and most exciting phase of a multi-year renovation, the highly-anticipated reveal will include a transformed arrival and check-in experience, newly imagined dining venues, contemporary event and meeting spaces, and a completely redefined Fairmont Gold, presenting the finest luxury hotel offerings and services in the city. Bringing the vision of the hotel’s transformation to life has been carefully entrusted to a team of world-renowned architects and design partners with extensive experience modernizing some of the most iconic and treasured properties around the world. The team shares a commitment to the preservation of the historical and architectural elements of the landmark property, once the tallest building in the British Empire. The grand renovation will be completed summer 2019, in time for the hotel’s official anniversary celebration. FIRST IMPRESSIONS Led by global design firm Rockwell Group, the concept behind the lobby and arrival experience is inspired by a journey from Toronto’s past through its present.
