A call for development

The City of Toronto has issued a call for development in its search for a partner to redevelop the Ontario Place lands.  We can only hope that creative minds come up with a revitalization plan that will treat this beautiful lakefront acreage with dignity.  Green space is imperative in the downtown core, and we must fight to preserve this historic space.  Find out more here.

A museum by the people, for the people.

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, why not immerse yourself in some beautiful art.   The Dundas West Open Air Museum, located in Little Portugal, showcases the work of local as well as international artists in an eclectic neighbourhood setting.  It is a great day out whether on your own, or with the family.

Out with the Old and in with the New

There is no argument that the Galleria Mall at Dupont and Dufferin has long passed its youth and usefulness.  Enter  Freed Developments and ELAD who are going full steam ahead with  an impressive mixed use development which will be home to retail spaces,  a community centre, sprawling outdoor living areas in addition to residential towers.  Architects Hariri Pontarini have presented a master plan for the revitalization of this piece of land and if all goes as promised, the end result will be worth the wait.  Read about the plans in blog.to
