Re-cap Riverside Walks for Doors Open Toronto
Riverside Walks, free guided walking tours series of Riverside neighbourhood – is back for another season! This past weekend, Lynne, Ron, and Geraldine led 3 Doors Open walks that explored the past, present and the future of Riverside. 

Although, we were sad to cancel the walk at 10:00am on May 25th due to thunderstorms; we had a great time at the other walks throughout the weekend.

Thank you to everyone for their understanding and for showing up to the walking tour. It was a busy weekend here in Riverside with over 100 guests learning about the history and changes of the Riverside neighbourhood. 

Enjoy more photos of the weekend on the blog!

Reasons for Designation: The property at 28-30 Langley Avenue is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under all three categories of design, associative and contextual value.

Notice of an objection to the proposed designation may be served on the City Clerk, Attention: Ellen Devlin, Administrator, Toronto and East York Community Council, Toronto City Hall, 100 Queen St. West, 2nd floor, Toronto, ON, M5H 2N2, until June 17, 2019, The notice of objection must set out the reason(s) for the objections, and all relevant facts.

Jeff Mann Sculptures in the Saulter Street Gallery

This is the last weekend to visit Jeff Mann’s DeTrOiTuS MaSks will feature 14 original sculptures.

Jeff Mann transforms old car parts into masks, creating primal style and features with modern, industrial materials. Rather than simply using the car parts as found objects, their previous function in automobiles is the spiritual core of the works themselves. Mann has been sculpting for over 20 years, and he is currently based in Kingston, Ontario.

The Saulter Street Stairwell Gallery is located in the heritage staircase at the south end of the building daily from 9 am to 9 pm, and can be accessed through the second or third floor. Admission is free. Works in this exhibition may be purchased by directly contacting the artist.
