WHAT Tuesday, June 3, announcement of an agreement in principle between the Toronto Port Authority and a group of investors to restore the building and turn it into a restaurant and event space.
WHY It’s not quite the promised “public space that everyone can enjoy,” but the deal will save one of the oldest aviation buildings of its kind in Canada.
Reclaim the streets
Homeless women and their advocates marched to Reclaim The Streets and end violence against women on Friday, June 6. The annual event, which began in response to the murder of Carolyn Connolly in 2008 in an alleyway at Sherbourne and Shuter, was particularly topical this year. The demo came a few days after new prostitution laws were introduced and a few days before council voted to create the first 24-hour women’s drop-in. See photo essay.
