As the city filed it
City Council on May 14 and 15, 2019, adopted Member Motion MM 7.11. It requested the General Manager, Economic Development and Culture, in consultation with appropriate City divisions and the local Councillor, to assist in determining the operational needs of The Artists Network, and to identify any suitable and available spaces on or near Queen Street East to house its operations. The Artist Network, a non-profit group, has contributed to cultural life in the community for many years and is being forced out of its most recent home due to gentrification in the neighbourhood.

Staff subsequently identified the Fieldhouse in Leslie Grove Park as a suitable location. The Fieldhouse, also known in the past as the Leslie Grove Shack, has washrooms available to the public. Otherwise, it was deemed an underused facility. The building would require minor renovations to make it suitable for the purposes of The Artist Network and its community work. These renovations would include, for example, winterization of washrooms, new locks, new storage closet, and new drywalling, lighting and flooring. The proposed work would be managed by Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff. This Motion proposes to pay for renovation by releasing Section 42 Above Five Percent Cash-in-lieu funds. The work is urgent as the organization is losing its existing space at the end of August.
