Who prepared the development parameters and strategic vision statement?
The development parameters and strategic vision statement were prepared by the St. Lawrence Market North Working Committee. This group, established in June 2003, provided a prompt and efficient forum for the community and City staff to provide input into a set of planning and design guidelines for the redevelopment of the property. Membership of the working committee included representatives from the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Association, the St. Lawrence North Market Initiative, the South Market Merchants’ Association, the North Market Farmers’ Association, the St. Lawrence BIA, Citizens for the Old Town, Heritage Toronto and Councillor’s Pam McConnell’s office. The committee also included City of Toronto staff from the Facilities & Real Estate, City Planning (including Urban Design and Heritage Preservation Services) Parks Forestry & Recreation, Economic Development Culture & Tourism and Transportation Services divisions.
