West Lodge Apartments

West Lodge Apartments, also known simply as West Lodge, is a 720 unit apartment complex located at 103 and 105 West Lodge Avenue in Parkdale, Toronto. The complex consists of two curved 18 story towers joined at the base by a 5-story segment which includes a convenience store on the second floor. The complex was built in 1964 and by the mid 1970s had already become notorious as the source of numerous building code violations, and for its general state of disrepair. The apartments have been the site of decades of tenant organizing continuing up to the present. Most notably, tenants in the 1970s were able to bring a case before the Supreme Court of Canada in October 1975 and organize a substantial bid to buy the complex from the City of Toronto and convert it into co-operative housing - a bid that ultimately failed when the building's previous owners put in a higher bid at the last minute. Through the 2010s and 2020s the building has continued to be a subject of concern, receiving in 2016 the most code violations of any building in the city. In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, tenants occupied a vacant unit on the second floor of 103 West Lodge, which now serves as a food bank for tenants. Revolving ownership The property has passed through the hands of numerous owners since its construction, including a period of receivership where it was owned by the City of Toronto. Past owners include Bnai Fishel, a subsidiary of The Wynn Group, Timbercreek Asset Management,. and Hazelview Properties. It is currently owned by Morguard References

Hôtel de ville de Toronto

L'hôtel de ville de Toronto, Ontario, Canada est l'un des monuments les plus distinctifs de la ville, constituant le logotype de l'institution municipale. Il est le fruit de l’un des plus grands concours d'architecture jamais organisés par une ville. Le jury international composé pour l’occasion doit juger 520 projets venant de 42 pays. En 1958, le maire de Toronto, Nathan Phillips, annonce le lauréat du concours : il s’agit de Viljo Revell, un architecte finlandais basé à Helsinki. Les travaux commencent en 1961 et l’inauguration officielle a lieu quatre ans plus tard ; en même temps que celle du Nathan Phillips Square, situé aux pieds du bâtiment ; soit le 13 septembre 1965, date à laquelle il remplace l'ancien hôtel de ville de Toronto construit en 1899 et depuis, classé au patrimoine historique national canadien en 1984.

Ratusz w Toronto

Ratusz w Toronto (ang. Toronto City Hall) – ratusz w Toronto, położony w centrum miasta, sąsiadujący bezpośrednio z Financial District, Eaton Centre, Queen St. West, połączony z systemem PATH. Obok siebie znajdują się budynki starego ratusza (obecnie sąd, zbudowany w 1899) oraz nowy budynek, zbudowany w 1965. Majestetyczna architektura neoromańska budynku starego magistratu przypomina średniowieczne zamczyska. Jego projektant – Edward James Lennox – zaprojektował także inny podobny budynek w Toronto – Casa Loma. Mury budowli mają ponad 2 metry grubości, a wieża zegarowa ma 103.6 m wysokości i posiada dzwony, z których największy – Big Ben – waży 5.443 kg. W początkach swojego istnienia wieża służyła jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków pływających po jeziorze Ontario, Dziś przysłonięta jest biurowcami Financial District. Budowa magistratu zajęła 11 lat, a koszty urosły z planowanych 600 tys. dolarów do 2.5 miliona. W odpowiedzi na krytykę, architekt na fasadzie umieścił powykrzywiane podobizny rajców i jedyną uśmiechniętą – swoją twarz, oraz swoje nazwisko na murach budowli. Hall wewnętrzny ma dwa piętra wysokości, służył niegdyś jako miejsce oficjalnych ceremonii. Freski na ścianach przedstawiające życie osadników, oraz postaci alegoryczne, wykonał George A. Reid w 1899, założyciel Ontario College of Art. Nad schodami prowadzącymi na piętro znajduje się witraż symbolizujący rozwój miasta, a na półpiętrze pomnik poległych podczas II wojny światowej mieszkańców Toronto. W budynku znajduje się także City Council Chamber, gdzie zbierała się kiedyś rada miejska. Od niedawna powróciły oryginalne elementy zdobnicze budynku, które przez lata były nieobecne. Ponownie zamontowano na wieży gargulce z brązu, czyli zakończenia rynny przedstawiające himery. Zdjęto je w 1939, gdyż jedna z nich, nadwątlona mrozami, oderwała się i spadła rozbijając dach budynku. Budynek starego magistratu otwarty jest dla zwiedzających. Nowy budynek zaprojektowany została przez fińskiego architekta Viljo Revella. Budynek został oddany do użytku w 1965 roku. Przypomina złożone dłonie, pomiędzy którymi umieszczona jest sala obrad w kształcie spodka. Całość obejmuje przestrzeń urbanistyczną budynku, jak i placu Nathan Phillips Square i otaczającej go kładki pieszej. Przed budynkiem Revell ustawił rzeźbę Henry'ego Moore'a, The Archer, co zapoczątkowało bliskie kontakty tego brytyjskiego artysty z Toronto. W Art Gallery Of Ontario znajduje się największa kolekcja jego prac na świecie. Centralne miejsce placu zajmuje fontanna, z wysokimi arkami spinającymi jej brzegi. Na placu, nazwanym imieniem pierwszego żydowskiego burmistrza Toronto, odbywa się wiele imprez. Jest to m.in. miejsce, gdzie mieszkańcy witają wspólnie Nowy Rok, wystawiane są lodowe rzeźby podczas Winterfest, a w lecie odbywa się największa wystawa sztuki na otwartym powietrzu w Ameryce Północnej. W zimie fontanna zamienia się w często odwiedzane darmowe lodowisko. Przy sąsiadującym budynku Osgoode Hall na Queen Street znajduje się pomnik Winstona Churchilla.

Eden Mills, Ontario

Eden Mills is an unincorporated community in the Township of Guelph/Eramosa, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada. Located on the Eramosa River, the Eden Mills Writers' Festival is an annual event. History The settlement was founded in 1842 by the Kribbs family, who built a mill on the Eramosa River. First called "Kribbs Mill", it was renamed "Eden Mills" in 1846, when the new mill owner described the location as "beautiful as the Garden of Eden". The early settlement had a post office, blacksmith, hotel, general store, taxidermist, oatmeal mill, several saw mills, and a community hall, erected around 1893. The population in 1902 was 300. The Toronto Suburban Railway was built to Guelph in 1917, with a stop in Eden Mills. The railway enabled local farmers to ship produce to Toronto, and Eden Mills became a recreational destination for train travellers. Around 1924, Edgewood Park was built near the railway station to attract visitors, and featured a baseball diamond, picnic area, cottages, a dance hall, and in 1928, a swimming pool. The park was purchased in 1944 by the Lutheran Church of the Canada as a summer youth camp, and in 2017, the camp ceased operation and was sold to the Eden Mills River Conservation Authority. In 1930, the railway ceased operations, and Eden Mills became a police village (a form of municipal government previously used in Ontario). Eden Mills Writers' Festival is an annual event founded in 1989. Demographics In the 1991 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, Eden Mills had an estimated population of 319.

Olde Fort Erie

Fort Erie var en brittisk fästning som byggdes åren efter Sjuårskriget, då fransmännen fått lämna Nya Frankrike till britterna. Den var belägen söder om staden Fort Erie i Ontario. Fort Erie användes som hamn för skepp som transporterade varor, trupper och passagerare över Eriesjön till den övre delen av Stora sjöarna. Under 1812 års krig förstördes fästningen av amerikanerna innan de drog sig tillbaka till Buffalo inför vintern, se belägringen av Fort Erie. Under 1930-talet återuppbyggdes fästningen, som blivit en turistattraktion, och den 28 juni 1985 utfärdade Canada Post ett frimärke med Fort Erie-motiv på ett av 20 frimärken i serien "Forts Across Canada Series" (1983 & 1985).

Humber College station

Humber College is a Toronto subway station on Line 6 Finch West, part of the Toronto subway system. It is located at the southwest corner of Highway 27 and Humber College Boulevard on the north campus of Humber Polytechnic in the Etobicoke district of Toronto, and is the western terminus of the line. A walkway connects the station to the Humber College Bus Terminal. The station retained its planned name after Humber College rebranded to Humber Polytechnic. Description The station is located below street level parallel to Highway 27, with the central part of the island platform in an open trench and both ends partly underneath the two entrance buildings: one on the south side of Humber College Boulevard and the second on the north side of President's Way, a new access road flanked by an exterior walkway with a 200-metre (660 ft) canopy that links the station to the Humber College Bus Terminal and the Humber Polytechnic campus. The lack of a roof over the trench allows natural light to reach the platform, and the open section of the platform has several canopies for weather protection. The station has a bike room to accommodate 40 bicycles, two elevators for accessibility, Wi-Fi, and washrooms. Besides Humber Polytechnic, the station also serves Etobicoke General Hospital located at the southeast corner of Humber College Boulevard and Highway 27. LRT infrastructure in the vicinity North of the station, the line runs in a trench beside Highway 27, rising partway to surface level to a flat section where a pair of single crossovers to reverse light rail vehicles (LRVs) are located. It then dips back down until Finch Avenue West, where it enters a short tunnel and curves 90° east under the intersection. After exiting the tunnel, it rises to the surface to begin its run along the centre of Finch. There are also tail tracks south of the platform for overnight storage for two LRVs. Humber College Bus Terminal Unlike other TTC stations with terminals connecting to surface routes, Humber College station does not have an attached bus terminal within the station itself but connects with the pre-existing Humber College Bus Terminal, which opened in 2015. The terminal is located on the Humber Polytechnic North Campus, approximately 300 metres (980 ft) west of the LRT station and thus is not within its fare-paid area. Along with TTC buses, the terminal is served by MiWay, Brampton Transit (which includes Züm), GO Transit and York Region Transit. The bus terminal is bounded by the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation to the south, Aboretum Boulevard to the east, Spruce Vista on the north side and Silver Bell Lane on the west side. The terminal has 10 bus bays: 6 bays are along an island platform on the south side of Spruce Vista, 3 bays are along a side platform next to the Barrett Centre, and 1 platform is on the west side of Silver Bell Lane. Platforms have waiting shelters and next bus displays. TTC buses The TTC bus routes serving the terminal are: Regional buses The following regional bus routes serve the terminal: References External links Official station page
Medical Sciences Building (University of Toronto)

The Medical Sciences Building (MSB) is the main building of the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, the medical school at the University of Toronto. It was built in 1969 within the historic King's College Circle on the St. George campus in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The large, predominantly concrete structure is exemplary of the Brutalist architectural style of the 1960s. The building is connected to several others along College Street including the Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research. The building is located in Toronto's Discovery District, home to several teaching hospitals partnered with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine, including Toronto General Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). History The site of the Medical Sciences Building has been used by the University of Toronto in science and medical education since as early as 1850. Part of a substantial expansion of the university post-World War II, several older buildings including the School of Practical Science built in 1878 (also known as "The Little Red Skulehouse"), were demolished in 1966 to accommodate its construction. It was completed in 1969. The large building allowed the Faculty of Medicine to greatly expand its research capacity with new laboratory spaces. During the 2010s the MSB underwent a C$40 million renovation to modernize its facilities as part of a C$190 million Lab Innovation for Toronto project. In 2025, Toronto City Council adopted a by-law to designate the Medical Sciences Building under the Ontario Heritage Act. The west wing of the Medical Sciences Building is slated to be demolished and replaced by the planned Temerty Building, designed by architect firms MVRDV and Diamond Schmitt. The 11-storey Temerty Building will be funded by a $100 million donation from James and Louise Temerty made in 2020, part of a $250 million gift to the University of Toronto's Faculty of Medicine.

Sharp Centre for Design

Sharp Centre for Design – centrum dizajnu, znajdujące się w Toronto. Centrum jest częścią Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), uczelni założonej w 1876 roku. Budynek Budowę Sharp Centre for Design rozpoczęto w 2002 roku, której całkowity koszt wyniósł 42,5 miliona dolarów. W 2004 roku budynek został oddany do użytku. Prostokątna bryła budynku, zawieszona na 26 m nad ziemią, wsparta jest na dwunastu kolorowych stalowych kolumnach, znajdujących się bezpośrednio nad najstarszym budynkiem kampusu uniwersyteckiego, z którym jest połączona za pomocą windy i klatki schodowej. Rozmiary prostokątnej bryły budynku: długość – 84 m, szerokość — 31 m, wysokość – 9 m. Budynek ma dwie kondygnacje, w środku się mieszczą: pracownie artystyczne, sale dydaktyczne, sale konferencyjne, sale wystawowe i biura. Autorem budynku jest brytyjski architekt Will Alsop. W wywiadzie udzielnym przez niego w 2013 roku Alsop powiedział: "bardzo niewiele osób mówi, że im się budynek podoba. A jeśli im się on nie podoba, to naprawdę go nienawidzą i myślę, że to dobrze. Mało kto może pozostać wobec niego obojętnym. Ale myślę, że budynek spełnia swoje zadanie na wiele sposobów. Szczególnie wnętrze budynku jest dobrze przyjmowane przez studentów". Budynek potocznie jest nazywany "stołem" (ang. "table-top"). Sharp Centre for Design zdobyło wiele nagród, w tym międzynarodową nagrodę RIBA w 2004 roku, Excellence Award przyznaną przez Toronto Architecture and Urban Design w 2005 roku oraz Canadian Consulting Engineering Award w 2005 roku.
