You have until Aug. 15, 2014 to offer online input regarding the State of Heritage in Toronto

On my way to a July 22, 2014 Heritage Consultation meeting at 450 Broadview Ave., I observed an impressive heritage building at Front St. East and Parliament St. that has been turned into a Toronto Police Service facility. Jaan Pill photo

I attended the Heritage Consultation meeting that was held at 450 Broadview Ave. on July 22, 2014. I was very impressed with the meeting, which was well organized and covered a specified list of questions within the time frame allotted to the task.

I learned many new things of interest, and had the opportunity to share my own thoughts and reflections about topics related to heritage preservation in Toronto and Mississauga. Among the things I learned was that the Heritage Toronto Twitter account (see link below) has 11,000 followers.

I learned more in 90 minutes than I could have learned in many weeks of reading and study and random conversation on my own.

I’m very pleased I had the opportunity to attend, having missed an earlier consultation meeting that was held in the West End.

The following message is from Heritage Toronto:
