Join Geoff Kettel and Mitch Bubulj on Friday May 3rd for Jane’s Walk: Factories and Beyond: The Evolution of Leaside Business Park
Urban planners today talk a lot about “complete community”. But one hundred years ago, they delivered. Leaside was designed by the noted Montreal landscape architect Frederick Gage Todd in 1912 as a complete community. And in those days, by “complete” they meant “homes AND jobs”. Todd’s plan for the Town of Leaside designated residential uses (west side) and industrial uses (east side), separated by Laird Drive. But since then the Leaside Business Park has been in constant change mode.
