A couple of days ago, someone on Twitter asked who Lansdowne Ave. was named after. Here's the answer, from Toronto Street Names, page 131:"Lansdowne Ave. was named in 1883 by the village council of Parkdale, in honour of the new Governor General of Canada: Henry Charles Keith Petty-Fitzmaurice, the 5th Marquis of Lansdowne (1845-1927). Lansdowne performed his duties admirably from 1883 to 1888, during a tumultuous period in Canadian history. The Northwest Rebellion broke out and the Canadian pacific Railway was completed, despite the scandals that rocked the country. His distinguished political career also included Lord of the Treasury (1869-72) and Undersecretary for War (1872-74) in England, and Viceroy of India (1888-93)."

Please come out and join members of your community for the Wallace-Campbell Safety Walk (please see attachment for more information and a map of the route - and please distribute widely)
With members of the community, along with staff from many city departments, safety audits provide an opportunity to evaluate spaces from the standpoint of women, children and other vulnerable groups. Together we will examine how social and physical environments can make an area safe or un-safe. Things we will look for: people's attitudes and behaviours, lighting, signage, sightlines, isolation, maintenance, and accessibility.
