  • Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
    Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

  • Casa Loma's Fate
    Casa Loma’s Fate One of the city’s great landmarks By Trelawny Howell or the better part of a century, Torontonians have been blessed with an absolutely irreplaceable treasure. And Fthrough most of that time we have ignored it, abused it, defiled it and turned one of Toronto’s greatest landmarks into a monumental embarrassment. If you’ve visited Casa Loma lately, you’ll know what I mean. But generally, Toronto residents tend not to spend time at the city’s third most popular tourist destination. If they were aware of what’s been going on at what once was Toronto’s most romantic, glamorous landmark, I suspect there would be thou- sands beating on Mayor David Miller’s door to take his electoral broom and sweep the castle clean. I must confess that I could be perceived as having a vested interest in the fate of Casa Loma. I am the great-grandniece of Sir Henry Pellatt, the visionary Toronto businessman and First World War legend who built his amazing residence between 1911 and 1914. The castle was just one in a long list of over- the-top accomplishments for the Kingston-born wunderkind, known at that time as one of the 25 men who were the nation’s most spectacular financiers. Henry Pellatt joined his father’s stock brokerage at just 17 years of age and a year later signed on with the Queen’s Own Rifles, which he later commanded and formed into a regiment of 750 men. Always a visionary, he invested heavily in elec- tric power generation and the westward trek of thousands of newly arrived immigrants.

  • Fact Sheet Lady Mary Pellatt
    Fact Sheet Lady Mary Pellatt Our first Chief Commissioner, Lady Mary Pellatt, lived in a castle! Who was this woman who did so much to promote and organize Guiding in Canada? She was born Mary Dodgson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Dodgson in Toronto in 1858. She was educated at Bishop Strachan School in Toronto and attended St. Simon’s Anglican Church and St. James’ Cathedral. On June 15, 1882, she married Henry Mill Pellatt of Kingston, who later became Major-General Sir Henry M. Pellatt, C.V.O., D.C.L., knighted in 1905 for his service to the Canadian Militia. How exciting it must have been for the Guides and their leaders to attend Girl Guide rallies at her home, Casa Loma. The first visit took place in 1913 and included 250 Girl Guides who toured the conservatories, the palatial stables, climbed the circular staircase to the top turret and then were served tea in the Palm Room. The Mail and Empire, Toronto, Saturday, April 19, 1913, reports that Guides: “...felt perfectly at home, for Lady Pellatt is a thoughtful hostess and she saw to it that there was nothing of a formal nature to embarrass the girls... They enjoyed themselves immensely without riotous romping or unseeming conduct of any kind. Lady Pellatt showed her confidence in them by allowing them to roam at will through the beautiful conservatories...” Pictures that have come to light (National Archives) show Guides in September of 1915 marching and dancing, with tents and marquees set up, on the expansive lawn of Casa Loma.

  • 6 7 a Moving Story About Immigrants from a Country That Has Always Been
    A moving story about immigrants from a country that has always been a magnet for immigrants, with Joe and Lorenzo Di Donato as our wonderful hosts. All in all, an ideal combination for a very special kind of city portrait: My Toronto Books and films often dramatize Canada’s wide-open spaces: the unspoilt natural environment, the untamed wilderness. Indeed, in terms of area, the country is the second-largest in the world. And at the same time, one of the most sparsely populated. Statistically speaking, just under four inhabitants share one square kilometre of land between them. Admittedly, in YYZ (Toronto airport’s interna- tional code), where we have just safely landed, things look different. Completely different. Toronto is a fascinating global metropolis, enthused Joe and Lorenzo Di Donato, when they persuaded us to pay them a visit. During our descent to the city, with its 2.6 million population, the view from the airplane window certainly looked very promising. The clock shows noon as we enjoy the feeling of terra firma under our feet after eight-and-a-half hours above the clouds. We enter the terminal to a typically warm Italian welcome from our hosts. 6 7 You need a good start to the day, advise Joe and Lorenzo, when they perfect coffee, coupled with a vision for giving coffee spe cialities their pick us up next morn ing in the hotel lobby.

John has appeared before all levels of trial and appellate courts and before domestic and international arbitral tribunals. A significant percentage of his practice is in the Ontario Commercial Court. He has also represented members of the National Hockey League in salary arbitrations with their players. He has successfully acted as lead counsel on multi-million dollar disputes, which have included: the supply of defective equipment in an Australian zinc refinery; cost overruns and delays in a hazardous waste decontamination project; litigation surrounding the closure of major anchor supermarket tenants in retail malls; the restructuring of a major beverage manufacturer plagued by highly acrimonious shareholder relations; delay and deficiency claims pertaining to gas co- generation facilities; failed automotive joint ventures; the enforcement of security by major Canadian financial institutions; and mass investor frauds. Many of his cases involve the need to organize complex financial, technical or scientific facts so that they can be properly understood by the court. Given his experience with such diverse and complex litigation matters, he is comfortable working with clients to create and monitor litigation budgets and in using technology to minimize litigation costs where possible. John has written many articles on topics encountered in complex commercial litigation published in leading Canadian law journals.
