The Dominion Foundry complex in the West Don Lands, a listed heritage site, is in imminent danger of demolition. Friends of the Foundry needs your help to pressure the Province to stop the demolition and start talking about adaptive reuse of at least part of the site.
Yesterday, a demolition crew arrived at the site to raze the Foundry buildings. Because these are provincial lands, no demolition permit was required and no notice was given to the City, the community or to heritage advocates. To add insult to injury, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing chose the first day of the emergency provincial lockdown to quietly move in demolition equipment.
