Clarence Square

Clarence Square is a small park in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where Wellington Street West meets Spadina Avenue. It is a relatively quiet and shady park, with many large trees and a spacious grassy terrain. There are several benches and picnic tables scattered throughout and a drinking fountain in the centre. The origins of the name of the square are unclear, but both are linked to members of the British Royal Family, Prince William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh or Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, with the former being the likely name as the name appeared on maps in the 1850s. In the northwest corner of the park is a historical plaque honouring Alexander Dunn, born near the park, who was the first Canadian recipient of the Victoria Cross. In 1854, he was a participant in the Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava, saving the lives of two fellow soldiers. Hugh John Macdonald, son of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald, also lived in the area (#304). Clarence Square is one of the oldest remaining park spaces in the downtown core of Toronto. The park became a largely neglected space, however, when the rail yards and industrial warehouses inhabited areas adjacent to the park. Today, however, industry has left the neighbourhood and the area is primarily residential and commercial. Historic buildings along Clarence Square include: Clarence Terrace (5-15 and 6-16 Clarence Square) built in 1879–1890 Steele Briggs Seed Company warehouse or Clarence Square Building (originally as 2 Clarence Square now as 49 Spadina Avenue) 5-storey warehouse and office built in 1911–13 See also Other squares envisioned by the 'New Town Extension': Portugal (McDonell) Square West Market Square Victoria Memorial Square References External links Official website City of Toronto – King-Spadina Urban Design Guidelines

Clarkson Secondary School

Clarkson Secondary School is a high school in Clarkson community of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada; designated Ward 18 by the Peel District School Board. Clarkson is an average school in both population (11th, at 866 students) and age (13th, built in 1969) of the entire Peel range of 28 public secondary schools. It is also known as the "Peel Academy for International Students". History Clarkson was designed like many 1970s-era schools in Ontario as part of an experimental open concept design. On the ground floor, the cafeteria and auditorium are central to the design; a tech/drama wing, staff room, and gymnasiums are placed on the west side, while a classroom wing adorns the east side. These were open to the hallways, to other classrooms, separated only by pillars. Other schools using the same concepts include The Woodlands Secondary School, Bayridge Secondary School, and St. Thomas More Catholic School. During the late 1970s, the design was abandoned for a more traditional approach, as such designs proved deficient in the leakage of noise from other classes.

Cloud Gardens

Cloud Gardens or "Bay Adelaide Park" and "Cloud Gardens Conservatory" is a small park in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It extends from the south side of Richmond Street to the north side of Temperance Street, between Yonge Street and Bay Street, on 0.6 acres (2,400 m2) of land. The park is currently closed for construction and repairs. Origin The site was given to the city in the 1980s as part of a deal that allowed the Bay Adelaide Centre to be higher than official plan limits. The developers thus gave a small portion of the lot to the city and spent $5 million to build a park. Landscape design and art Designed by Baird Sampson Neuert Architects, the MBTW Group/Watchorn Architects, and two artists—Margaret Priest and Tony Scherman—the park features elaborate landscape design. The western part of the park includes a network of pathways and is edged by cluster of trees around a semicircular lawn. The eastern portion is marked by series of walkways climbing past a waterfall. Rising above this area is a monument to Toronto's construction workers designed by Margaret Priest and constructed by the Building Trades Union. It comprises squares that each illustrate one of the building trades. Thus one shows a network of steel rebars, another, a cluster of wiring. The namesake feature of the Gardens is a small greenhouse set to the cool and moist conditions of a cloud rainforest. A walkway runs from the lower-level entrance to an upper-level exit by the waterfall. Cloud Gardens won Baird Sampson Architects a Governor General's Architecture Award. Construction The park was closed in November 2018 for construction to replace the waterproofing under the park, and is estimated to reopen in 2026 after the construction of a new building west of the park is complete.

Cloverdale Mall

Cloverdale Mall is a community shopping centre located in the Etobicoke district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at 250 The East Mall northeast of the intersection of Dundas Street West and Highway 427). It opened in 1956 as an open-air shopping plaza on what was part of the Eatonville farm. History On November 15, 1956, Cloverdale Mall opened with 34 stores such as Dominion, S.S Kresge, Laura Secord Chocolates, Tip Top Tailors, United Cigar Stores as well as the Bank of Nova Scotia and Canadian Bank of Commerce. The centre of the plaza was an open-air concrete courtyard. A Morgan's anchor store of two floors joined in August 1960 as part of an expansion of the shopping centre. In the 1960s, following the purchase of Morgan's by the Hudson's Bay Company, the Morgan's store was converted into The Bay. In the 1980s, Cloverdale Mall was converted into an enclosed mall and expanded. In 2005, Hudson's Bay Company replaced The Bay department store with their discount store Zellers at the mall's north end. Zellers expanded the lower/main level retail floor space but did not continue using the upper level of the Bay's former space, and it has been closed ever since. Winners and Kitchen Stuff Plus opened where the old Zellers outlet was at the mall's southern end. The mall underwent major renovations in 2006. In late 2008, the Dominion store was rebranded as Metro. In September 2012, the Zellers store closed as its lease was sold to Target. Target opened on the bottom floor of the old store in March 2013. On January 15, 2015, Target announced it was withdrawing from the Canadian market and all its stores would be closed within 4–5 months. The Cloverdale store remained vacant until February 2024, when Fairgrounds Public Racket Club opened a pickleball court in the former Target space. QuadReal, the property owner, had proposed replacing the existing mall with a mixed-use development covering 32 acres, while retaining the Cloverdale Mall name. QuadReal plans to submit the rezoning application in March 2020. In February 2021, it was announced a site at the mall was being prepared as a large-scale clinic for distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine during the COVID-19 pandemic in Toronto.

College Street United Church

College Street United Church is a United Church of Canada church at the corner of College and Bathurst Streets in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As of 1990 the church is part of the same structure as The Channel Club Condo at 456 College Street. The large church was built in 1885 as College Street Presbyterian and could hold 1200 worshippers, under founding (1874) minister Alexander Gilray (1874-1915), and Robert Balmer Cochrane (1915-1925). In 1925, this congregation voted to join the United Church, and was the site that June of the 51st and final General Assembly of the originally constituted Presbyterian Church in Canada before a majority of congregations of that founding denomination voted to enter the United Church of Canada. Over time attendance fell and it ran into financial difficulties and disrepair. Despite its heritage status, it was decided to demolish much of the church, renovate the bell tower, and rebuild in 1990. The new building is 8 stories tall with an 89 suite condominium on top of the church. The architects of the new building worked to have it be as similar to the old church as possible, copying many of its architectural elements. As of May 2024, Rev. Jeffrey Dale became the minister at College Street United Church, with a desire to live out the ministry and purpose through an understanding of College’s Vision Statement to be a ‘people helping people in the name of Jesus.’ See also List of United Church of Canada churches in Toronto References "Beleaguered church is reincarnated in new condominium."
