  • Toronto Has No History!’

    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.
  • Tommy Thompson Park Update

    Tommy Thompson Park Update

    Attachment 3: City of Toronto Report for Action REPORT FOR ACTION Tommy Thompson Park Update Date: May 10, 2021 To: Infrastructure and Environment Committee From: Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation Wards: Ward 14 - Toronto-Danforth SUMMARY Tommy Thompson Park (the Park) is the largest component of the broader Leslie Street Spit (the Spit), located at the base of Leslie Street where it meets the shore of Lake Ontario; all components of the Spit will ultimately be consolidated as Tommy Thompson Park (see Attachment 1). The Park is designated in the Official Plan as an Environmentally Significant Area and is recognized internationally as a Canadian Important Bird Area for supporting the conservation of birds and their habitat. The Park is owned by Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) and managed in partnership between TRCA and the City of Toronto. The Park demonstrates that nature can flourish in cities and contribute to the well-being of city residents; only minutes from downtown, the Park is an escape from the city, and a place to marvel at the force of nature. It is a pet-free urban wilderness that exists as the result of decades of careful management and stewardship of natural succession and habitat restoration processes by TRCA with the support of the City, community groups, and other partners. Its significant and diverse aquatic and terrestrial environments provide habitat for at-risk species who are otherwise challenged by the interrelated impacts of habitat loss, habitat fragmentation, urbanization and climate change. The Park's evolution into an urban wilderness can also be attributed to the work of advocacy groups like the Friends of the Spit, founded in 1977 by naturalists advocating for the Spit to grow naturally, without development and the privatization of uses.

    Acknowledgments The site of Exhibition Place has had a long tradition as a gathering place. Given its location on the water, these lands would have attracted Indigenous populations before recorded history. We acknowledge that the land occupied by Exhibition Place is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. Figure 1.

    Sugar Wharf Is a Community of Extraordinary Proportions

    A WHOLE NEW COMMUNITY From Humber Bay to the Eastern Beaches, Toronto’s magnificent waterfront spans 46 kms. Under the direction of Waterfront Toronto, this highly desirable section of the city is undergoing a sea change. Created by the federal and provincial government and the City of Toronto, Waterfront Toronto has the mandate to transform the area into a vibrant public and cultural space for all Torontonians. Unequalled in size, it’s one of the largest urban revitalization projects in the world. The total area for development is 800 hectars in size, and is one of the largest revitalization projects in the world! Collaborating with developers like Menkes, Waterfront Toronto aims to create 40,000 new residences and approximately 40,000 new jobs. With the introduction of mixed-used neighbourhoods, offices, expanding public transit, parks, and public spaces, the waterfront will be a coveted place to live, work, learn and play. By adopting an economically and environmentally sustainable design approach, this reimagination will change the face of Toronto and deliver a positive, meaningful relationship between the lake and the city. THE LAKE. THE LIFE. THE CITY. LAKE SHORE BLVD E NEW ST COOPER ST Rising on the shores of Toronto’s waterfront, Sugar Wharf is a community of extraordinary proportions. FREELAND ST Striking the perfect work-life balance, this exceptional development will be the future-forward ideal today’s urban population seeks. Home to 7,500 residents, and 4,000 HARBOUR ST office workers once completed, this 11.5-acre community RETAIL PROMENADE offers homes, offices, shops, restaurants, school, daycare, park and more.
