The Festival of Architecture and Design is here again, and the folks at ERA Architects, Spacing Magazine, Toronto Society of Architects, Wireless Toronto, and [murmur] are throwing the fourth annual Toronto the Good party to celebrate Toronto.

This year, Toronto The Good wants attendees to explore an idea: planners, architects, developers, and interested residents from around the world are using a new tool - the urban centre - to educate the public and debate local development issues. Cities such as London, Amsterdam, New York, Chicago, and San Francisco have a place for the masses to come and learn about how their metropolis has grown and where it is headed.

On Tuesday, July 1 at 2pm, The Tollkeeper's Cottage will be opened to the public for very first time.

The historic Tollkeepers Cottage, believed to be the oldest tollgate surviving anywhere in Canada, was rediscovered 15 years ago and lovingly restored by the Community History Project and public support. In the 1800s, private companies were retained to build roads and were permitted to charge road tolls. The three-room cottage was home to the tollkeeper and his family when Davenport Road was a toll road in the 19th century.

The museum will highlight the history of tolls, roads and 19th century life for those with modest means, a contrast to the wealth and luxury of Casa Loma and Spadina House Museum not far from the cottage site. The park surrounding the museum will be renamed The Tollkeeper's Park in recognition of the site's historic significance.

We welcome you to join the celebration, with refreshments and the park dedication by Councillor Joe Mihevc.

The Cottage is located at Bathurst and Davenport Road.

The Toronto Field Naturalists (TFN) is an organization whose members have worked for 85 years to help Torontonians explore, love and conserve our city’s unique natural heritage.

To celebrate its 85th anniversary, the TFN is hosting a Nature Art Exhibit/Sale at which some 20 TFN member artists and photographers will display their interpretations of Toronto’s flora and fauna. The event will take place at The Papermill Art Gallery, Todmorden Mills Heritage Museum and Arts Centre, 67 Pottery Road, Toronto, and will be open to the public from August 27 to September 14. Artists will be available to discuss their work.

At the Art Exhibit, special tribute will be paid to artists Eva Davis, the late Diana Banville, and Mary Cumming who is credited with founding, some 40 years ago, the Nature Arts group within the TFN. This group of artists and photographers frequently work together in Toronto’s parks and ravines, and their creations enhance the pages of the TFN’s newsletter, published eight times a year since 1938.
