Heritage Building Highlight
Picture
By Bruce Bell

South East corner of King and George

One of the first buildings to be erected on George Street was the home of the Rev. George Okill Stuart on the southeast corner of King and George.

He arrived in York in about 1800 and was the town's second Anglican minister, the first being a Lt. Smith at Fort York.
​
It would be Rev Stuart who would go on to build the first St. James' church on the corner of King and Church.
That first church was known as the Episcopal Church in York as it wasn't until 1827 when the name St. James' began to appear.
Picture
It was from his house at George and King that Rev. Stuart set up the first school in York known as the Home District Grammar School starting in 1807.

The house, part log cabin and part clapboard, went on to become by 1833 a general store operated by the jovial and much loved George Duggan who ironically was also the town's coroner while upstairs was the practice of Dr. Thomas Duggan, his brother.

The house which later became an Inn stood until 1879 when the present building originally built as the Little York Hotel was constructed.

COVID Vaccine Information - 70+

Information about getting the COVID-19 vaccine is on the City of Toronto website and key information has been highlighted on a SLNA Flyer.

Download the UPDATED high resolution SLNA COVID Vaccine Information Flyer and print locally for posting in your community/building.

Transportation Clinics

The Vaccine Equity Transportation Plan begins March 29. The City is piloting transportation services for seniors 75 years of age or over who may be unable to access or afford existing transportation options to get to their vaccination appointments.

Transportation options will eventually be expanded to include people with disabilities, seniors under 75 years old and others who are frail or have underlying conditions which make them at greater risk from COVID-19 and/or render them unable to safely access other modes of transportation.

This program is intended for those who have no other options for transportation to vaccination appointments.

Book a Ride to and from Your Vaccination Appointment
  1. Book your vaccination appointment at a clinic location that is in your area of the city.
  2. Contact the transportation program in your area to arrange for a ride to and from your appointment. Appointments should be booked no later than 48 hours before your appointment time. Availability is limited and rides are not guaranteed.
  3. If you live in central Toronto, visit Toronto Ride  or call 416-481-5250.

Note that transportation vehicles are not accessible and clients should be able to step into the vehicles (with assistance). There will be approximately one hour between drop off at the vaccination clinic and pick up after the appointment.

51 Division Community Response - Resource
Picture
Our local Community Response Unit within Toronto Police Services 51 Division have developed a resource to help residents with the process of filing a report of crime, should the unfortunate need arise. 

Our Community Response Unit has produced 10,000 printed copies of this resource, but here is a high resolution file that can be printed locally to provide as a reference for those interested.
