Authorization to Release Section 37 and Section 45 Funds for Heritage Lighting at the Young People’s Theatre - by Councillor Chris Moise, seconded by Deputy Mayor Ausma Malik

Lawrence Neighbourhood Heritage Conservation District, which covers the original 10-blocks of "Old Town" Toronto, bounded by Adelaide Street East, Berkeley Street, George Street, and Front Street East. The 2011 Heritage Lighting Master Plan for Old Town Toronto study reviewed the potential to enhance heritage architecture in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood. The Young People's Theatre building was identified as an opportunity to use night time lighting design to highlight architectural details. Enhancement of this building is part of a strategy to highlight the heritage of the City, and to support the continued development of St. Lawrence and the Old Town as a tourist destination. Permission may be required for work that involves altering a building or structure on properties that are designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. To find out whether the lighting proposal requires a Heritage Permit, Heritage Planning staff must review the proposed lighting scheme. Funds were secured from a variety of development sources in the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood, secured to support the Heritage Lighting Master Plan for Old Town Toronto.
