Community Council Decision
The Toronto and East York Community Council:
1.

Origin
Summary
It has been brought to my attention by the community and a local historian that this property may have architectural and cultural significance. This property has, for many years, been a gathering place for the local community and in particular a place for dancing to flourish. The organization that had been in the building for many years is now leaving and in order to preserve the existing property as a potential heritage resource, I am requesting that City staff urgently undertake an evaluation for inclusion to the City's Heritage Register.
