First Parliament Site Event

The City of Toronto has been working to recognize the First Parliament site, a historically significant property at the intersection of Front and Parliament Streets. The site represents the political, social, and industrial forces that helped shape the city.

The First Parliament Project is holding another Public Open House on March 31, 2020 at 6:15 p.m. at the St. Lawrence Market Tent.

The team has completed Phase 1 of the project, and Phase 2 is well underway. This open house will serve as an update on the current state of the project and will invite your feedback to inform the continued development of the project.

Phase 1 involved the preparation of a Heritage Interpretation Strategy for the site. Based on research and a robust public engagement program, the Heritage Interpretation Strategy sets out a framework and recommendations for the interpretation of the site’s heritage. An Overview Summary of the report can be found online here.

Phase 2 involves the development of a Master Plan for the First Parliament site. The first step was to develop a draft Vision with First Principles and a series of master plan explorations. This material was presented to stakeholders and the general public in October 2019 for review and comment. The presentations generated lively and productive discussion, which has guided work since.

At the upcoming public open house on March 31, the team will present the refined Vision and First Principles and a preliminary Demonstration Plan for the First Parliament site. Following a question and answer session, participants will be invited to provide comments, opinions, and ideas for the continued development of the Plan.

We hope you will join us on March 31, 2020 at 6:15 p.m. in the St. Lawrence Market Tent to continue to help us develop the First Parliament Site into a place that tells important stories and best serves the community. 

—The First Parliament Team
