De La Salle College "Oaklands" (also known as De La Salle College, Toronto, or simply De La Salle) is an independent, co-educational, Catholic college preparatory institution run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in Toronto, Ontario. Founded by the Christian Brothers in 1851, it offers a rigorous liberal arts education from grades 5 through 12, consistent with its Lasallian traditions and values. De La Salle "Oaklands" has a distinguished history as a college-preparatory institution in the Roman Catholic tradition as founded in 1679 in Reims, France, by Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (also the patron saint of the college). From 1967 to 1994, the school was operated as a public separate secondary school as part of the Toronto Catholic District School Board (formerly the Metropolitan Separate School Board).

Church of the Messiah (Toronto)
Church of the Messiah (Toronto)

The Church of the Messiah is an Anglican church in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located at 240 Avenue Road, on the corner of Dupont Street. The church was founded on March 24, 1891, by members of the Church of the Redeemer further south on Avenue Road. The building was designed by Gordon & Helliwell, along with a rectory next door (which has not been owned by the church for many years). The church suffered a major fire in 1976 that gutted the building and destroyed the parish hall next door. The fire was determined to be arson by Toronto police and the perpetrator was convicted and jailed. The church was rebuilt preserving the original exterior appearance, however the interior was radically redesigned to maximize flexibility. As a result, the Church of The Messiah has a liturgical space that can be configured in several different ways. During the week the space is used for worship, community meetings (including AA groups), dance and yoga classes, a daycare, and a café. Historically, the Church of the Messiah was a bastion of the low-church Anglicanism in Canada. Every Rector (or Incumbent) prior to the current one was a graduate of Wycliffe College. Several of these were noted preachers and two went on to become Bishops. Currently, the church is known for a creative worship style, diverse congregation, food access programs for the neighbourhood (including a Food Bank), and the Bell Tower Café. The current Incumbent is the Rev'd W. Tay Moss, AHC. Sarah John serves as Minister of Music.
