How to save a community landmark
September 07, 2009
Carol Goar
This could have been a story about a working class neighbourhood losing a cherished landmark. The demolition order was ready.
It could have been a story about a small community group being brushed aside by municipal decision makers. That is where the plotline was heading.
But someone was smart enough to change the trajectory.
Claude Bergeron, president of the Carleton Village Residents' Association, isn't sure who the hero was – not him, he says modestly.
It might have been a far-sighted architectural team. It might have been an enlightened planner. It might even have been Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair.

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
