Summary:
Freakier rich people. More suburban art. A venue for new music. Better staplers. An infrastructure for hip-hop. Laneway art. More wi-fi. A more understanding marriage between art and business. Affordable live-work spaces. What would make Toronto a better place for the arts? City Hall proclaimed 2006 the Year of Creativity. ‘Live With Culture’ banners flap over the city. And across the city, donors are ponying up millions for the ROM and the AGO. Culture’s never had it so good. Right? The State of the Arts explores the Toronto culture scene from every angle, applauding, assailing and arguing about art in our fair burg. The essays consider the big-ticket and the ticket-free, from the CNE to unintentional art. In between, you'll find thoughts on the ’creative city’ and photobloggers, Toronto on film and the fine line between part and art. Taken together the thoughts of these writers, artists and city-builders create a snapshot of culture in T.O. as it grows from ’Toronto the Good’ to ’Toronto the Could’ to ’Toronto the Can-Do.’ Includes sixteen colour pages of eye-level Toronto, and cover art by Susan Szenes. With essays by Sandra Alland, Jason Anderson, Anna Bowness, Stephen Cain, Kate Carraway, Hanna Cho, Brendan Cormier, Natalie De Vito, Liz Forsberg, Mark Fram, Marc Glassman, Katarina Gligorijevic-Collins, Brenda Goldstein, Amy Lavender Harris, Karen Hines, Sarah B.

Drained by a half-dozen major watersheds, cut by a network of deep ravines and fronting on a Great Lake, Toronto is dominated by water. Like most cities, though, Toronto has mismanaged its water, from the decades-long transformation of the citys creeks into sewersheds to the alteration of Torontos waterfront. Recently, the trend of fettering Torontos water and putting it(...)

Summary:
Drained by a half-dozen major watersheds, cut by a network of deep ravines and fronting on a Great Lake, Toronto is dominated by water. Like most cities, though, Toronto has mismanaged its water, from the decades-long transformation of the citys creeks into sewersheds to the alteration of Torontos waterfront. Recently, the trend of fettering Torontos water and putting it underground has been countered by persistent citizen-led efforts to recall and restore the citys surface water. In HTO: Torontos Water From Lake Iroquois to Taddle Creek and Beyond, 30 contributors examine the ever-changing interplay between nature and culture, and call into question the citys past, present and future engagement with water.

Linda Johnson now delves into the fascinating story behind the Kandik Map, examining the reasons why and how these two men from such different backgrounds combined their extensive knowledge of the country to map the Kandik River region. Drawing on historical letters, geographical analysis, and the original map itself held in the University of California’s Bancroft Library, Johnson produces a groundbreaking study on the history of the Kandik Map and reveals its significant implications for Native American scholarship.

Terra Nostra célèbre la cartographie du Canada et permet de partager cette incroyable ressource historique conservée dans les fonds de Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. Cette institution réunit un grand éventail de réalisations cartographiques, qui s'étendent des portulans préparés par les premiers explorateurs aux images aériennes récentes des floes (ou glacesflottantes) de la côte Est. Les cartes du Canada ont servi à plusieurs, et ont rempli de multiples fonctions. Elles ont entretenu, chez les premiers marchands et aventuriers, la promesse de gloire et de fortune ; les chefs d'armée s'en sont servis pour consolider leur mainmise territoriale ; les politiciens ont, grâce aux cartes, légitimé l'empire qu'ils ont établi au pays ; les hommes d'affaires y ont eu recours pour proclamer leur fière appartenance à la communauté ; enfin, les cartes témoignent du type de collectivité que les simples citoyens veulent léguer à leurs enfants. Dépositaires de nos pensées et réflexions, les cartes canadiennes montrent les exploits techniques que notre pays a accomplis, et nous font mesurer l'évolution du savoir géographique. Elles sont une fenêtre ouverte sur le monde. Jeffrey S. Murray, archiviste principal à Bibliothèque et Archives Canada, participe depuis plus de vingt ans à l'acquisition de documents qui composent l'héritage cartographique du Canada. Depuis toujours passionné d'histoire canadienne, il a publié plus de cent articles de revues et plusieurs guides d'archives; il a aussi monté de nombreuses expositions.

It is widely believed that only the growth of mass suburbs after World War II brought suburban living within reach of blue-collar workers, immigrants, and racial minorities. But in this original and intensive study of Toronto, Richard Harris shows that even prewar suburbs were socially and ethnically diverse, with a significant number of lower-income North American families making their homes on the urban fringe. In the United States and Canada, lack of planning set the stage for a uniquely North American tragedy. "Unplanned Suburbs" serves as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked suburban growth.
