Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Ossington Avenue Properties

Many of these properties were nominated to Toronto and East York Community Council in 2015 for heritage evaluation to determine whether they merit inclusion on the Heritage Register. Ossington Avenue, between Queen Street West and Dundas Street West, is an historic main street that was previously part of the Dundas Street highway and a major arterial road heading westward from the Town of York and, later, City of Toronto. Its present-day context is defined by a prevalence of main street commercial row and block building types, with institutional uses at its southern point and an evolving contemporary urban character. All of these properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register will extend interim protection from demolition, should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. Listing provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
