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of Toronto had endeavoured to preserve the building as a prime example of the mid-20th century style, but ultimately rescinded its application on the grounds that it had no authority to impose a historical designation on provincial government property.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

Scotiabank Arena
Scotiabank Arena

Scotiabank Arena (French: Aréna Scotiabank), formerly known as Air Canada Centre (ACC), is a multi-purposed arena located on Bay Street in the South Core district of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the home of the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). In addition, the minor league Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League (AHL) and the Raptors 905 of the NBA G League play occasional games at the arena. The arena was previously home to the Toronto Phantoms of the Arena Football League (AFL) and the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League. Scotiabank Arena also hosts other events, such as concerts, political conventions and video game competitions. The arena is 61,780.5 square metres (665,000 sq ft) in size. It is owned and operated by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. (MLSE), which also owns the Leafs and the Raptors, as well as their respective development teams. The building was constructed in 1941 as the Toronto Postal Delivery Building for postal deliveries and was temporarily used by the Department of National Defence during World War II. After the war, the building was transferred to Canada Post in 1946 where it functioned as the main postal terminal for Metropolitan Toronto until 1989 when Canada Post moved its services to the Eastern Avenue facility. The Postal Building was sold to a consortium of developers but was reverted to Canada Post ownership in 1993 due to financial woes, but the new ownership of the soon-to-be Toronto Raptors basketball team acquired the building in December 1994 to construct the new arena. However, the Raptors were acquired by Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd., the owners of the Maple Leafs hockey team in 1998 during construction that began a year prior, to replace their outdated Maple Leaf Gardens arena. The arena was opened on February 19, 1999, at the cost of $288 million ($499 million as of 2022), with the Leafs playing the Montreal Canadiens the following night, and the Raptors playing the Vancouver Grizzlies the night after that.In 2018, Scotiabank Arena was the 13th busiest arena in the world and the busiest in Canada. It is also the most photographed location in Canada on Instagram according to BuzzFeed. Scotiabank Arena is connected to Union Station's railway, subway and regional bus services and is connected to the Path.
