Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Toronto
Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Toronto

The Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Toronto was located at 83-85 Christie St., Toronto, Ontario, Canada until the building was sold in 2015. (The Centre has relocated to the Old Mill Hotel and Banquet complex since then). "Christie", as the building was simply dubbed, was host to many Ukrainian events, and was the heart of the Ukrainian community in the Greater Toronto Area, bringing together people with a common culture and ideas. The Centre was where the Ukrainian ancestral heritage was kept alive for several decades and also where English classes for newcomers and immigrants to Canada were offered. The Ukrainian Cultural Centre of Toronto consisted of a large and a small banquet hall, concert stage, full kitchen, rehearsal spaces, classrooms, library, cafeteria, "Trembita" nightclub, offices and a gymnasium. The Centre was home to the main offices of both the weekly Ukrainian language national newspaper HOMIN UKRAINY (Ukrainian Echo) and the Ukrainian Youth Association of Canada. Both these institutions were founded in 1948 by Ukrainian immigrants to Canada. From the 1970s, and through to the 1990s, the Centre was home to the Metro Toronto International Caravan Festival Ukrainian Pavilion, (originally as "Kiev," in honour of the Ukrainian national capital, then later "Lviv"). Before 1960, the building at 83 Christie St. was originally the home of the Toronto branch of the UJPO (United Jewish Peoples' Order). Currently the building is owned by the Philippine Jesus Is Lord Church.

Christie Pits
Christie Pits

Christie Pits (officially Willowvale Park until 1983) is a public recreational area in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 750 Bloor Street West at Christie Street, just west of the Toronto Transit Commission's Christie subway station. The park has an area of 21.9 acres (8.9 ha), about half of which is grassed picnic areas, the rest being various sports fields. Sports facilities on the site include three baseball diamonds (one full-sized and fenced named "Dominico Field"), basketball courts, a soccer/rugby/football field, and the Alex Duff Memorial Outdoor Pool; and a splash pad and adjacent outdoor ice rink which are located on the west edge of the park at 779 Crawford Street.The sides of the pits are highly sloped, as a result of which most of the area of the park sits well below street level. The slopes are used in winter for tobogganing and related activities. Garrison Creek runs under the park, converted to a storm sewer at the turn of the 20th century. The park was named after the Christie Sand Pits which were on the location until the early 1900s. The sand pits had been named after Christie Street, which was named after William Mellis Christie, co-founder of the Christie & Brown Cookie Company, now known simply as Mr. Christie. The official name of the park, Willowvale Park, never caught on, and the common name for the park since its days as a sand pit, Christie Pits, was adopted as the park's official name in 1983.
