Serving our community since 1972 Vol. 41, No. 9 www.torontoobserver.ca Friday, Oct. 26, 2012 n FALLING FOR FALL 54 Division’s future yet to be decided By MATTHEW WOCKS The Observer The reports of 54 Division’s death are greatly exaggerated, says a Toronto police spokesperson. Mark Pugash, director of corporate communications for the Toronto Police Service, said the future of the division and its headquarters at 41 Cranfield Rd. has yet to be decided, in spite of media reports to the contrary. The rumours began on Oct. 11, when police Chief Bill Blair met with residents of Thorncliffe Park at Marc Garneau Collegiate Institute. He discussed, among other things, the future of the headquarters, located near O’Connor Drive and St. Clair Avenue, and the projected $35-million cost of replacing it. Media reports the next day focused on specula- tion that 54 Division could be closing, but Pugash said that emphasis is misleading. “There has been no decision,” he said. “Any suggestion otherwise is wrong.” Blair is currently gathering information and will present his findings to the board and to the city, Pugash explained. “This is the beginning of a process to look at what is most effective way to deal with the aging building,” he said. The three options being discussed are: • Maintain the current boundaries and construct a new building at a new location • Amalgamate 54 and 55 divisions and build a new headquarters • Realign divisional boundaries The division is bordered by the Don River to the west, Victoria Park to the east, Eglinton Avenue to the north and Danforth Avenue to the south. Ward 29/Toronto-Danforth councillor Mary Fragedakis, who spoke to residents of her ward about the options, said she fears that closing down or changing the division could make the community less safe. “My community is interested in maintaining the existing boundaries and rebuilding the new station,” she said, “and I want what my community wants.” While Pugash said the cost of rebuilding would be a significant financial expenditure, Fragedakis said the funding has been in the capital budget for the last 10 years. Nick Tragianis /// Observer “The money has already been set aside,” she said. Crossing into autumn Regardless of the decision, Pugash wants residents of East Summer is a fading memory as the days become shorter and cooler, but that isn’t stopping York to know that every effort will be made to preserve the cyclists from taking in the colours along Pottery Road and Bayview Avenue. front-line police presence.

Reacting to the medium’s growing significance, members of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) accepted that they had a wartime responsibility to maintain civilian morale. The CBC thus unequivocally supported the national cause throughout all levels of its organization. Its senior administrations and programmers directed the CBC’s efforts to aid the Canadian war effort.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.
