An Ontario judge has temporarily stopped the province from demolishing a group of heritage buildings at the Dominion Foundry Complex in Toronto s West Donlands pending a decision at the end of February.
In a statement Friday evening, the group Friends of the Foundry says it is very relieved by the decision of Justice David Corbett to protect the buildings from further damage until next month s hearing. Word of the decision comes after crews began tearing down buildings on the provincially owned site on Jan. 18.
