Guild Inn

Guild Park and Gardens is a public park in the Scarborough district of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The park was formerly the site of an artist colony and is notable for its collection of relics saved from the demolition of buildings primarily in downtown Toronto arranged akin to ancient ruins. Located on the Scarborough Bluffs, Guild Park and Gardens has an outdoor Greek stage and a 19th-century log cabin among the oldest in Toronto. The principal building in the park is the Guild Inn, a former inn and estate mansion. The park is located on Guildwood Parkway, east of Eglinton Avenue East and Kingston Road. Its 50 acres (20 ha) is accessed from the Guild Inn's own parking lots and from a parking lot for the Lake Ontario access trail, just to the east. The park is mostly forested. South of the Inn is a large area of grassy, open space. To the east, a ravine leads down from Guildwood Parkway to Lake Ontario. Along the bluffs, an east–west trail connects to Livingston Road to the west, with several points for viewing the lake. The edges of the bluffs are roped off for safety, as the bluffs are tall and composed of soft, sandy, unstable material.

The Danzig Street shooting or Danzig shooting was a Canadian gang-related shooting. It occurred on the evening of 16 July 2012 at a block party on Danzig Street in the West Hill neighbourhood of Toronto. Rival gang members Folorunso Owusu, 17, and Nahom Tsegazab, 19, along with an unidentified third gunman, opened fire in a crowd of two hundred people. This resulted in the deaths of Joshua Yasay and Shyanne Charles, and the injury of twenty-four others (including two of the perpetrators), making it the worst mass shooting in Toronto.A 2008 provincial report had warned of increasing trends in youth violence but key recommendations to stop at-risk youth from joining gangs had not been adopted. Around 2010 the West Hill-based Galloway Boys gang was re-forming, recruiting youths who obtained guns used in conflicts for territory and leadership. Some of these youths held a party with free alcohol following a children's barbecue at a social housing complex. After a series of confrontations, threats escalated into the shooting. Although initially believed to be the resumption of a 2003 gang war between the Galloway Boys and the Malvern Crew, it later became clear that the Danzig Street shooting was not part of a territorial dispute or retaliation for another incident but a disagreement between teenagers who then had a gunfight at a party. Police initially received few tips from frightened witnesses but were able to make two arrests that month; two additional arrests came following a reprisal shooting in September. The four young men convicted were aged 15 to 19 at the time of the shooting; two were minors and their names were withheld under the Youth Criminal Justice Act until they were sentenced as adults. Justice Ian Nordheimer said of the incident, "Ordinary persons do not understand how anyone, much less teenagers, can come not only to possess such weapons, but to use them in such a brutal and indifferent way."The incident, in conjunction with the Eaton Centre shooting six weeks earlier and a shooting in a Colorado movie theatre four days later, renewed debate on gun crime in urban areas. Despite falling national crime rates, a poll taken the following week showed that a majority of Canadians were in fear of "a violent crime wave". The shooting led the Toronto Police Service to develop new crime-prevention strategies for the Neighbourhood Officers program, established to build community relationships in at-risk areas to gain information on local crime, making possible targeted crackdowns on gang activity and a dramatic reduction in shootings and other crimes. Police 43 Division (which includes Danzig Street) reported no homicides in 2013.

The Scarboro Golf and Country Club is a private club in eastern Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located in the former city of Scarborough. It has facilities for curling and an 18-hole golf course that is ranked among the top courses in Canada.The club was founded in 1912 by stockbroker A.E. Ames. Its 144-acre (58 ha) site is located in the Woburn neighbourhood, approximately 12 miles (19 km) from downtown Toronto. Its course was originally designed by George Cumming and was extensively changed in 1924 under the direction of one of the America's celebrated designers, A. W. Tillinghast (who designed noted courses U.S. Open courses - Baltusrol Golf Club, Bethpage Black and Winged Foot amongst others), his only work in Canada and in his only work outside of the United States. In 1947, legendary golf course designer Stanley Thompson was commissioned to reduce the severity of some of the slopes on the course including major work on a hill on the eighth hole. The course plays to par 71, and it plays to 6,547 yards from the championship tees through the West Highland Creek valley. The creek comes into play as many as 11 times in 18 holes, and the hilly terrain, gullies and trees as natural hazards, making artificial hazards almost unnecessary at Scarboro. The club has been host of the Canadian Open golf tournament four times, as follows: 1940 won by Sam Snead 1947 won by Bobby Locke 1953 won by Dave Douglas 1963 won by Doug Ford in a playoff with Al GeibergerNumerous other professional and amateur events have been conducted on the club's fairways, most recently hosting the 1987 and 2012 CPGA Tour Championship. In hosting the 1958 Canadian Amateur Championship, a first round casualty was an 18-year-old Jack Nicklaus. In 1961, the course was one of 25 that hosted the World Series of Golf matches between Masters and British Open champions, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. In fact, Mr. Palmer was so taken with the golf course, he included Scarboro’s signature par 3 Hole # 14 as one of his all-time favourite holes. The course gives its name — with a change in spelling to Scarborough — to the north-south concession road astride which it lies, Scarborough Golf Club Road. The widening of and construction of a bridge under the adjacent GO Transit Lakeshore East line local rail corridor was cited as the reason for the closing of the curling facility in 2018, a decision taken by club's board of directors, and supported by a majority of club shareholders, though closing the curling facility was not absolutely necessary for the widening. The decision caused some controversy as some curling club members wanted the facility to remain.

West Hill is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located in the eastern end of the city, in the suburb of Scarborough. It is roughly bounded by Scarborough Golf Club Road and a branch of Highland Creek on the west, the CNR railway tracks and Lake Ontario on the south, and Highland Creek on the north-east. The name comes from its elevated position on the west side of Highland Creek, a deep glacial ravine. The section east of Manse Road, which roughly splits this neighbourhood in half, is often now referred to as the Manse Valley neighbourhood. It has less commercial development and more industrial development than the western part of the neighbourhood. However, both parts were treated as part of West Hill prior to development.
