Zion Schoolhouse was built in 1869 to provide free public education for the children in the small farming community of L'Amaroux. Children from neighbouring farms came to learn basic reading, writing and arithmetic as well as agriculture, nature study, geography and history.

Henley Gardens is one of the most sought after condominiums in the Beaches. It is NOT a retirement home.

This parking is usually full

Even though this is just a zoo for some reason this parking lot is used alot.

East York Tidbits Stories About East York Presented by the East York Historical Society THE NAMING OF DIEPPE PARK In the early morning of August 19, 1942 about 6,000 Allied troops embarked on 250 vessels from southern England on a daylight raid on the German occupied French resort town of Dieppe. Almost 5,000 of the troops were young Canadian men. They were well trained, but lacked battle experience. Along with the Canadians were British and French commandos and American Rangers, the first Americans to see action in Europe in the War. The aim of the raid was to land on the beaches in and around Dieppe, occupy the town for about 12 hours and withdraw to England with as many German prisoners as possible. Another explanation for carrying out the raid was to test German defences for an upcoming Allied invasion of Europe. The raid on Dieppe was a failure. Of the 5,000 Canadians who embarked on the raid, almost 4,000 were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. Only a few of the men who landed on the beaches of Dieppe made it into the town. Of the 1,000 men who returned to England, 600 of them were wounded. They brought back with them a handful of German prisoners. Inadequate information about German fortifications and poor Allied planning and equipment are two main reasons for the failure of the raid. No matter the reasons for failure, the fact remains that the failed raid on Dieppe is remembered with sadness about the lost of young Canadian men who, without hesitation, faithfully served their country. About 4 months after the raid on Dieppe, on January 11, 1943, East York Township Council named the park site on Cosburn Avenue Dieppe Park, in honour of the brave men who participated in the raid. The Council passed the following resolution. “WHEREAS East York Township’s manpower have responded to the call of the Country in this time of War. And Whereas East York men were present at the Battle of Dieppe which was the opening Battle of the Allied offensive, and Whereas we have several park sites set aside in East York Township as yet unnamed. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the East York Council name the park site that has been known as the Smith Property to Dieppe Park in honour of our men who fought the gallant battle also to those men who gave their lives, and at some future time a suitable plaque be placed in the park setting forth this purpose. And the Seal of the Corporation be hereto affixed.” The naming of Dieppe Park is a significant chapter in East York’s long and proud history of supporting the men and women who served our country. – Article courtesy of the East York Historical Society

It's not a pet free building...

In apt one floor down compare to our in the 3000 Dufferin St. Toronto, M6B 3T6 I hear Russian speech addressed to me and there was said that they gave to me code when I would be not allowed to work/be employed. Could I know if there is really such code that does restrictions in employment, business, etc. and how to remove it? Who have the right to stick it to the name of person? The people who talk with me from that apt stay incognito and stayed incognito in previous apartments at 65 Wynford Hgt. Cr. M3C 1L7 and in 2660 Kent, Montreal, Que. From both previous apts they evicted us. They have corporate documents and Eviction is some kind of their business, they buy apartments after for low prize. Do Russian agents have the rights to make for us restrictions in employment for others, Canadian citizens, grants, etc.? How to check them out? If report to police has appeared does police check out if behind of these reports stay real people and info that they submit is not lie. I spent years on courts that charged me for wrongful accuses composed by Russian speaking people trying to be legalized in Canada. They afraid that I would recognize them - they attack not worse job places as in Government. After employment in Montreal I cannot get income in Ontario where I was moved on family circumstances. If I got Canadian Citizen status in Montreal should I get document in Ontario also? How Police can help in resolving tough situation with low income because I cannot get any money for my work? Could Police help to get grant, Fund for company that I registered in 2005 at Ministry of Industry? How I can use credits of my accounts for income, cash? Family has tough financial situation: Son is not employed, daughter is separated, has two girls, husband only gets income but is sick and get treatment at Hospital, I cannot get money for my work in Professional and Public Services. Something is wrong. I assume identity fraud is one of the reason. How I can get grant, Fund for family? My last salary was 50 000 and 60000$/yr.

SO SUPER BUILDING!

I have lived at 1011 Lansdowne since April 1 2010. When I viewed the unit on the 19th floor it was in excellent condition. A showpiece. Under the impression that this was the unit I was to occupy when moving in, I agreed to take the apartment. The day I moved in I was informed that I was to be given another, inferior unit. With a hole under the sink, a constant drip in the bathroom and uncountable cockroaches and bedbugs. Being on ODSP due to major health issues, I, like many before me took the apartment due to financial restrictions. What was I to do with all of my furniture on the sidewalk? I, somwhat hesitant, took the apartment and settled in. Over the course of 2009-10 I sat back and observed the attitudes of the management and the tenants, while learning as much as I could about the history of the building. To find a positive description of the Dupont/Lansdowne neighborhood in the archives of Toronto has yet to prove fruitful. The residents, mostly individuals, of 1011 Lansdowne are, for the most part, struggle honestly through the day, relying on the support of one another to maintain a sense of normalcy while under duress from the dismissive attitudes of the management and the city at large. Incidents, some of which I have personally encountered, have led me to a conclusion that the management of 1011 Lansdowne are incapable of creating a atmosphere of community, not the tenants, as the residents/politicians of Toronto have so repeatidly espoused. Yes, there is a drug problem. Yes ther is a prostitution problem. Yes the building is in need of a complete overhaul and yes the management has to be held accountable to the people of Toronto and the tenants of 1011 Lansdowne. But beyond the negative impression that has been bestowed upon the residents of the building, the simple reality of the fact is that the reputation that is imposed on the neighbourhood, because of the building, is home to many diverse and capable individuals. Upon speaking with any number of residents one quickly realizes that they are bright, articulate and willing to create change for the better. All they lack is a belief that the management city will support them. Former residents who criticize the building, and there are many, are convinced that they are justified in the belief that the building should be torn down. That the residents are not woth the time or effort to intigrate into society. The only solution being to remove them from the neighbourhood by any means necessary. The corner of Dupont and Lansdowne consists of recently build townhouses, six apartment buildings, with another currently being built, a couple of stores, a coffee shop, a men's shelter and a dentist office. The corner in itself is a microcosim of the city of Toronto and the country of Canada as a whole. With a large portion of families, with 50% or more, having children (the largest percentage in Toronto), a large immigrant population where English is being learned as a second language, the working poor, middle class labourers, the unemployable and increasingly well off individuals. With the erecting of a new building on the northwest corner, and the addition of a shopping plaza in the next few years, will continue to create a more diverse and multicultural comunity. All that is lacking is leadership in the neighbourhood. Not politicians who provide lip service at the time of elections, and the dismissal of the neighbourhood in non election years. The economic investments within the neighbourhood that are currently being embarked upon provides an opportunity for all residents of the Dupont/Lansdown area to come together and work towards the betterment of all living situations in the neighbourhood. And if asked, the residents of 1011 Lansdowne would be more than willing to address the issues that effect them every day. Until this happens, the outside view of the building will always be in stark contrast to the reality of the lives that the individuals at 1011 Lansdowne face. Carrying a sense of shame and worthlessness that has been bestowed upon them for choosing to live in the greatest city in the world. Although ther are few who would have you believe that the residents are not worth the time or effort and are a hopeless cause. To believe this is to believe that a resident of 1011 Lansdowne is not worthy of being treated like a human being. Instead of offering a segratory and dismissive attitude towards the building, perhaps an attitude of compassion and a willingness to correct these misaligned attitudes would create a community worthy of being calling the greatest in the world.

I've never been here, or to Toronto for that matter, but I heard Regent Park is pretty dangerous.

Formerly a Canadian Tire site

currently has application to redevelop as townhomes and some commercial/industrial units

i agree to all the above comments. even though i haven't experienced any cockroaches or bed bugs, there are other problems in this building. the building super/ managers are extremely rude. they should not be in the public relations as they really don't have the etiquette to talk to the tenants in a normal way. tenants are being screamed at or insulted by them. there is insufficient heating in this building. most of the tenants have to personally buy their own portable heaters. when i asked the lady manager to fix the heat, she told me sarcastically to put my thermals, sweaters and socks on all the time inside my apartment. the water lines are also screwed up. somtimes there is no hot water in the kitchen for about an hour or so. they charge way too much rent considering the fact that they deprive the tenants even of the basic necessity like proper heat in the cold brutal winter. i hope someday either the city or health canada reaches out to help the suffering tenants.
