One of this city's best-known personalities, Johnny Lombardi was a pioneer in the promotion of Toronto's cultural diversity. Born in this city to an Italian immigrant family, he quickly achieved success by appealing to the needs of this city's rapidly growing Italian immigrant neighbourhoods - first as the proprietor of a grocery store, opened in 1946, then as an impresario of Italian entertainment. Lombardi is responsible for two vital Toronto institutions: CHIN Multicultural Radio and the CHIN International Picnic. | ||

Nationally recognized for its distinctively Canadian style, Runnymede Branch was designed by John M. Lyle, one of this country's most distinguished 20th-century architects. In the 1920s, a surging sense of national pride inspired Lyle to create a uniquely Canadian architecture that blended European styles with Canadian themes and ornamentation. Runnymede Branch was an early attempt at such a design. The building is constructed of variegated red and yellow Credit Valley stone, and combines Georgian, French, and early Quebec styles, the latter in its steeply pitched, hipped roof. Lyle used Canadian aboriginal motifs for much of the decoration, including totem poles at the main entrance and arrowheads in the iron railing above. Carvings of native plants and animals also embellish the building. In 1989, the Runnymede Branch was featured on the first in a series of postage stamps celebrating Canadian architecture. The building was most recently restored and enlarged in 2005. | ||

Green Meadows, otherwise known as "The McDougald Estate", was constructed circa 1950 for John Angus "Bud" McDougald and his wife Hedley Maude. Though the main house, an elegant Colonial Revival mansion, is all that is left of the estate today, the McDougald property once comprised 300-acres of land stretching north from what is now Van Horne Avenue to Finch Avenue, and east from Leslie Street to what is now Don Mills Road. Green Meadows was focused around two of Bud McDougald's great interests - horses and antique automobiles. It featured barns for thoroughbreds and a track for racing, and included garages with room for 30 cars. Preserved and restored when the surrounding estate was developed into residential neighbourhoods, the main house remains a fine example of a Canadian Establishment estate house from the mid-twentieth century. | ||

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. | ||

O'Connor House - one of three buildings remaining on the former 850-acre O'Connor Estate/Maryvale Farms of the 1930s. There is a risk of losing it if we do not work together to save it and bring it back to life. The man who built O'Connor Estate was Frank O'Connor - who, with his wife, Mary Ellen Hayes, were the founders of Laura Secord Candies in 1913. Who has not enjoyed a box of Laura Secord jellied candies or melt-in-your-mouth chocolates. And, did you know, that during the war years of rationed sugar, and other basics, that people would give their ration to Frank so he could continue to make the candies to send away to their beloved soldiers. Why it is important to be part of this project is because it is North York at its finest. O'Connor House stands on its original foundation - unlike several other historic North York homes which have been moved. It has "good bones," a solid foundation, and architecturally, has beauty and balance. Who does not experience their heart, mind and soul uplifted in the presence of beauty and balance. | ||

The Société d’histoire de Toronto and Alliance Française invite you to join them on Sunday, October 5, between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm for a picnic as part of “Lafontaine-Baldwin Day at the Temple of the Children of Peace” in Sharon, northeast of Newmarket, at 18974 Leslie Street. The Temple is a National Historic Site, completed in 1832, renowned for its architecture and symbolism, and also for its role in the historic alliance between Robert Baldwin and Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine. Participants will be welcomed at 11:00 am at the Temple by none other than David Willson who founded the Children of Peace nearly two hundred years ago. They will then visit the historic Doan farmhouse where Mrs. Doan will greet them and tell them of some of the political turmoil which characterized this part of Ontario in the 1830s and 40s and the effects it had on the community which built the Temple. | ||

A Book Launch organized by The York Pioneer and Historical Society will take place on April 26, 2009 at the John McKenzie House at 34 Parkview Avenue (just north of the North York subway). The occasion is to launch a special publication in the honour of Toronto's 175th Anniversary. Chris Raible was very instrumental in organizing and recording the information for this book. We are the only organization that have located and recorded over 90 Rebellion Boxes. They were carved by the prisoners that were arrested during the 1837 Rebellion. While in jail the men carved these small wooden boxes incredibly detailed and usually dedicated to lived ones. The event starts at 2:00 pm at the John Mckenzie House, there will be refreshments and the book will be for sale. | ||
