EDITOR’S NOTE: This piece was written in 1985 by Stephen Otto for a catalog that was never published to accompany the exhibit “Meeting Places: Toronto’s City Halls,” at the Market Gallery. It is offered here to
mark Toronto’s 182nd anniversary of incorporation on March 6, and to foster understanding of the North St. Lawrence Market site where archaeological excavations are taking place currently prior to the redevelopment of the property for courts and a new market.
In July 1833 the
Colonial Advocate took notice of the increased pace of commerce and improvements in York: “everything is going on charmingly … In short York bids fair to become one of the first cities of importance, for commerce, extent and neatness, in British America.”

“One day I’m designing a pair of socks, the next day I’m designing a campaign for the side of a bus,” William Allen tells Design Week. “You just never know what you’ll have.”
Allen is one quarter of the Barbican’s in-house design team, established in 2011 and in more normal times based in the Brutalist arts centre itself. Opened in 1982, the arts centre is a much-loved London destination, celebrated as much for its architecture as its creative programme. The centre hosts exhibitions and performances on all major art forms, including dance, film, music, theatre and visuals arts. Over a million people attend its events annually – though this year is likely an exception – and it also has three cinemas, a conservatory and a library.

It strives to provide students in underserved communities the opportunity to develop skills and gain the confidence to recognize that they can excel in college.
Through the program, selected students at Louis E. Dieruff and William Allen high schools and Building 21 Allentown will take online courses at the University of Connecticut and Yale and Howard universities.
