Harbourfront Centre

Harbourfront Centre is a key cultural organization on the waterfront of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated at 235 Queens Quay West. Established as a crown corporation in 1972 by the Government of Canada to create a waterfront park, it became a non-profit organization in 1991. Funding comes from corporate sponsors, government grants, individual donors and entrepreneurial activities. Harbourfront Centre has a seating capacity of 2,000. Harbourfront Centre works with over 450 community organizations, and hosts more than 4,000 events a year in many disciplines such as theatre, dance, literature, music, film, visual arts and craft. The development is governed by a 26-person community based volunteer Board of Directors, and is assisted by approximately 2,000 volunteers who generously contribute their efforts and time. Harbourfront Centre is patrolled by its own in-house security team, which works closely with police to ensure that the property is protected.

Workmen's Compensation Board Building
Workmen's Compensation Board Building

The Workmen's Compensation Board Building (later known as 90 Harbour Street) was a five-storey office building in Toronto, Ontario. It was originally home to the Workers Compensation Board of Ontario from 1953 to 1973. It was designed by the province's master architect, George N. William. It was also known as the Old Ontario Provincial Police Headquarters, with the province's police force using the building from 1973 until the early 1990s. The Ontario Provincial Police moved into a new building in 1995 at 777 Memorial Avenue in Orillia. The building was later sold to a film production company, Juxtaproduction, and targeted for use in film shoots. It was used in films such as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Exit Wounds and Ararat. The building was sold to private developers and then demolished in the summer of 2011. The City of Toronto had endeavoured to preserve the building as a prime example of the mid-20th century style, but ultimately rescinded its application on the grounds that it had no authority to impose a historical designation on provincial government property. It has been redeveloped as a mixed-use development consisting of a 37-storey office building fronting on York Street (1 York) and two seventy-story residential buildings with retail at the base. Near the site of this building are: Toronto Harbour Commission Building World Trade Centre, Toronto Air Canada Centre Queen's Quay Terminal
