They’ve developed their own website, www.torontoravines.org to raise public awareness They’re also appearing at pop-up venues around the city where planners and forestry experts are soliciting public input on the city’s ravine strategy plan to let Toronto residents know about their findings and ongoing research.  Amateur naturalists Dale Taylor and Paul Scrivener raised funds back in 1977 for the initial study of the ravine by U of T’s botany department The two men had both grown up along the Rosedale and Moore Park ravines and wanted to document the biodiversity of the ravine they’re working to help raise funds for a comparative study conducted by Smith’s students in the Faculty of Forestry “The Toronto community has a fabulous vision to keep its ravines natural,” Taylor said “But the healthy natural state of these ravines is threatened all the time What these studies are trying to do is get at the changes that are affecting the ravine We hope that will lead to some recommendations on sound ravine management Ultimately as the city is undergoing its own exercise I’m sure we will have findings to feed into it.” The City of Toronto says it expects to have the ravine strategy finalized by spring 2017 said that while ecological integrity may not appear as such in a draft of the plan released this summer the strategy calls for developing and implementing management plans for environmentally significant areas and identifying best practices for building projects to ensure natural ecosystems are protected “It’s important to keep in mind that the consultation draft is written in language that the public can understand The two words ‘ecological integrity’ might not appear but that principle is very loud and clear in all of the actions.” If you've been thinking about upgrading your current digs for something more on the lavish side that also offers plenty of space to entertain and raise a family this beautiful detached home in Toronto's ritzy Rosedale neighbourhood might be exactly what you need And talk about curb appeal.

However the crown jewel of the residence is easily the aforementioned backyard and a cabana with his and her change rooms According to the listing page the residence first hit the market on May 16 for just $3.8 million and sold for nearly $300,000 over asking in just six days The home was then listed again in September of the same year for $3.9 million and sold for nearly $400,000 under the asking price Four years later and the home is back on the market again for $8.18 million showing just how expensive Toronto's real estate market has become it's time to take a moment to reflect on Toronto's real estate market and what were the most and least expensive sales recorded throughout 2021 Presenting such a roundup is Toronto realtor and chartered accountant Scott Ingram, who is back with the 2021 edition of his annual MLS Awards Ingram created the ‘awards’ because he was curious to see what the most expensive house that sold in Toronto on the MLS was which made him then wonder what the least expensive was… and so on While the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board’s MLS system covers a wide geographic area the ‘winners’ of this year's edition are only from Ingram’s main area of interest The winners are also exclusively only residential real estate -- sorry commercial READ: Welcome to 2022: “Basic” Kitchener-Waterloo Home Sells for Over $1.2M here are the most and least expensive sales throughout Toronto for 2021 Neighbourhood: C12 Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York MillsAddress: 24 Park Lane CircleList price: $45,000,000DOM: 259 (and counting) The property is unique because it actually has two concurrent residential listings or there's the $45-million option in which the "Owner/Builder will customize while in construction."  Neighbourhood: C12 Bridle Path-Sunnybrook-York MillsAddress: 71 The Bridle PathSold price: $23,850,000DOM: 440 (total property DOM: 906) Securing the title of the most expensive home sold in 2021 is this Bridle Path home, which actually had the most expensive asking price in Ingram's 2020 MLS Awards at $32 million the palatial home -- boasting 21 rooms (plus nine more in the basement) an an indoor pool -- ended up selling for a cool $23.8 million Neighbourhood: W3 Caledonia-FairbankAddress: 2226 Dufferin AvenueSold price: $450,000DOM: 11 the least expensive freehold to sell in Toronto is this tiny detached home that sold for $450,000 on Dufferin Ave this home is a "total gut job," and there aren't actually any photos of the home's interior available the home's listing reads: "Attention builders," "Property being sold as-is where-is," and "No children or elderly to access lot or house," so you could only imagine what the interior looked like Neighbourhood: C1 Bay Street CorridorAddress: 1 Bloor Street West (The One)List price: $34,700,000DOM: 45 (and counting) As for the most expensive asking price for a condominium this 8,752-square-foot lower penthouse located on the 79th floor of Mizrahi Development Group's The One took the top spot Neighbourhood: C9 Rosedale-Moore ParkAddress: 1 Roxborough Street East (Hill and Dale)Sold price: $11,600,000DOM: 44 (total property DOM: 174) This year's top condominium sale is located in a 14-unit building one block north of the Rosedale subway station and features about 4,000 square feet spread across two levels. There are three bedrooms plus a den, three parking spaces, and an exceptional outdoor space that's complete with three private terraces including a rooftop terrace with its own pool and incredble views Neighbourhood: C2 AnnexAddress: 155 Cumberland Street (155 Cumberland)Sold price: $10,850,000Maintenance fees: $6,381/month it's not that surprising that a condo of this calibre would come with this high of monthly maintenance fees this Cumberland unit was just one of five condos to have monthly fees north of $5,000 Neighbourhood: C2 AnnexAddress: 118 Yorkville Avenue (The Hazleton)List price: $18,690,000Maintenance fees: $12,002/month While Ingram typically only reserves his awards for properties that sold he included this unit as it's an "interesting case" and "worth mentioning." With a monthly maintenance fee of $12,002 the owner would need to earn an extra $310,000 annually just to have enough after tax to pay the $144,000 in condo fees for the year Neighbourhood: W5 Black CreekAddress: 4645 Jane Street (Jane Street Condos)Sold price: $145,000DOM: 24 Since Ingram started doing these awards three years ago the least expensive condo sale in the city has always been in the same same series of four buildings located right on Jane the cheapest condo in Toronto sold for just $145,000 "Thirteen of the 15 condo sales under $200K in the city last year happened in these buildings (the other two were at 50 Old Kingston Rd) So it's pretty easy to crown in the lowest-priced building in the city they were built in 1972 and are showing their age." Additionally Ingram says the white elephant factor also holding down the values of these buildings at Jane and Shoreham is the reputation of the area 100 Harbour Street (Harbour Plaza Residences) Neighbourhood: C1 Waterfront CommunitiesAddress: 100 Harbour Street (Harbour Plaza Residences)Sold price: $93,000DOM: 1 the most expensive parking spot to sell was just shy of six digits selling for $93,000 in Harbour Plaza Residences every year the neighbourhood for the most expensive spot has been C1 Waterfront Communities and from Bathurst to Yonge Street (minus the northeast chunk from Queen to Front and Simcoe to Yonge) Neighbourhood: C1 Little PortugalAddress: 170 Sudbury Street (The Curve)Sold price: $13,000DOM: 87 Taking the title of the least expensive condo parking space is a spot located in The Curve building that sold for $13,000. Why the low price tag? The building was an Urbancorp project, which you may have heard ran into some trouble back in 2019 the builder was left with an inventory of about 40 parking spots most of which sold for varying amounts over the years 16 parking spots were listed -- 14 of them for $15,000 and the other two for $18,000 -- which ultimately gave the buyers a ton of leverage Ingram said two of the $15,000 spots sold for $13,000 each becoming the least expensive condo parking spaces to sell in the process 22 Southport Street (South Kingsway Village II) Neighbourhood: W1 High Park-SwanseaAddress: 22 Southport Street (South Kingsway Village II)Sold price: $18,000DOM: 5 The most expensive storage locker to sell in 2021 was a locker at Queensway and South Kingsway Ingram said there were no pictures or dimensions available for the locker but it's located in a building built in 1989 Ingram said the listing did mention that the locker came with "lots of wall space to accommodate shelving," plus a monthly maintenance fee of $14.57 Neighbourhood: C4 Lawrence Park NorthAddress: 177 Old Orchard GroveSold price: $2,058,000 (206% of $999,900 list price)DOM: 7 This detached home in Lawrence Park North sold for $2,058,000 which was a whopping 206% above the $999,900 listed price while this pricing strategy may leave you scratching your head Ingram said it isn't as ridiculous as the 2020 winner which sold for a similar amount ($2.05M) but had an even more ridiculous $500,000 listing price Neighbourhood: C9 Rosedale-Moore ParkAddress: 7 Rosedale RoadSold price: $6,600,000 ($2,100,000 over $4,500,000 list price)DOM: 7 This Rosedale-Moore Park home sold for more than $2 million over asking. While houses selling for significantly more than their listing price aren’t uncommon in Toronto’s perpetually dramatic real estate market $2.1 million over asking is fairly rare air the listing agent referred to the property as a "unicorn" home for the sought-after neighbourhood Neighbourhood: C9 Rosedale-Moore ParkAddress: 3 Douglas DriveSold price: $13,000,000 ($200,000 over $12,800,000 list price)DOM: 48 This Rosedale-Moore Park home isnt only notable for selling over the asking price at $12.8 million but also for going over the asking price after spending 48 days on market "If you saw a place on the market for over a month you definitely wouldn't start your bidding up there I'm guessing the sellers lucked into having two people interested at the same time and played them off against each other," said Ingram Neighbourhood: C1 Trinity-BellwoodsAddress: 219 Roxton RoadSold price: $1,550,000 (71% of $2,195,000 asking price)DOM: 64 Located in Toronto's Trinity-Bellwoods neighbourhood this home was an "Attention builders/renovators/investors" listing but the listing did mention that the home was set up as a fourplex with two units rented the home sold for $1,550,000 -- 71% less than the original $2,195,000 asking price LocalNewsPolice searching for suspect who allegedly exposed himself to a girl in midtown Toronto, committed an indecent actBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: May 04, 2025 at 2:29PM EDT and the information within may be out of date The world will descend on Rosedale Park this weekend as Mayfair makes its triumphant return Mayfair has been a staple in the Moore Park and Rosedale communities for generations starting out as a small community festival in 1946 It became an annual event and has since grown to welcome former members of the community and those from across the city and beyond it has become a fundraiser for Mooredale House an organization that offers programming to the community with this year’s theme being Mayfair Around the World decorations and food will be on hand to represent various cultures a fitting theme for a diverse city such as Toronto “We’ll have decorations around that will turn it into a bit of a World Fair,” said Mooredale general manager Marjorie Booth most of the events that make up Mayfair remain the same The rides are switched up from year to year though Booth said the festival will include its usual four rides for young children and four rides for older children “The kids love it so we stick with what we know they love,” she said the event brought an estimated 12,000 to Rosedale Park and organizers hope this year’s event sees a similar grand turnout A new addition this year will make the festival more accessible than ever to those looking to get there by bike “Cycle Toronto is offering bike valet service and Evergreen Brick Works will host a bike safety area,” Booth said Following in the footsteps of last year’s Mayfair the event will kick off with a sneak preview night on Friday the beer garden will be open and there will be a special re-gifting silent auction Mayfair gets into full swing with parades kicking off the festivities Kids and families will walk to Rosedale Park from Moorevale Park starting at 8:20 a.m and from Whitney Park starting at 8:30 a.m Kids will also be able to participate in track and field events throughout the day Mayfair will run from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 10 and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 11.

a rarity in this pricey neighbourhood - and the building's heritage makes it that much more appealing Built in 1907 by one of Rosedale's early developers, Edgar John Jarvis, this home became his third Rosedale residence, modest in comparison to his first two. It was designed by his son, Toronto architect Beaumont Jarvis offering a modernized canvas for the next owner and the five bedrooms on the top floors aren't typical Toronto sized rooms; they're principal size with no debate if there's room for a King size bed cupboards and marble may be exactly what a millionaire with design sense is looking for And who can say no to a fully modernized home with commercial grade solar panels A family that wants some space to move around fully finished basement with a separate kitchen plus a big backyard should offer more than enough room to spread out The space is technologically advanced - with a fully equipped security system and speakers in every room this renovation may not jive with your idea of what a heritage home should look like Thanks to Bosley Real Estate Ltd, Brokerage for sponsoring our House of the Week.

the 50th anniversary since hip-hop became established as both a musical genre and culture neighbourhoods like Malvern and Rexdale are credited with producing the most hip-hop artists and music in the city but one dance studio chose to set up shop in an unlikely part of the city with a hidden hip-hop history Choreographers and co-owners Aaron Aquino-Annobil and Nicole Rosove, along with their third business partner Lisa Heath, opened Run The Flex dance studio this year after initially launching the dance program in 2017 Located just north of Yonge Street and Davenport Avenue in the neighbourhood of Rosedale-Moore Park the studio is aiming to bring the culture of hip-hop back to the downtown core and celebrate its history by teaching its students about the narratives and architects behind various choreography A lot of people back in the days used to think that jogging was meant for athletes and Olympians to get ready for competitions and such But now it’s become so normalized to just jog,” said Aquino-Annobil who grew up in Rexdale’s Mount Oliver-Silverstone-Jamestown neighbourhood where he first started hip-hop dancing “I want to bring the culture of what we did especially what I had from learning about hip-hop [and] my love of hip-hop Aaron Aquino-Annobil grew up in the Rexdale neighbourhood of Mount Oliver-Silverstone-Jamestown where he first started hip-hop dancing Rosove said whether guests have two left feet “From Rexdale to Rosedale,” comes from the Etobicoke neighbourhood’s rich history they want to “honour the culture” and “honour [Aquino-Annobil’s] childhood by bringing it to the core of the city where people might not have that knowledge.” The intersection of Yonge and Davenport has historically been a central part of Toronto’s hip-hop scene a historic concert hall known to host jams “888 Yonge Street is where Ron Nelson was putting on concerts and bringing some of the emerging American hip-hop acts, who were still teenagers at the time, to Toronto to perform with local Canadian acts,” said Mark Campbell, assistant professor of music and culture at the University of Toronto Scarborough as well as founder of Northside Hip Hop Archive. Nicole Rosove is co-owner of Run The Flex as well as a dance instructor. (Julia Lawrence/The Green Line) According to Campbell, the concert hall is also a place where a young Ice-T, Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, Ice Cube and KRS-One would have come to Toronto as emerging artists. “Lots of young people would travel from Regent Park, Flemingdon Park, Etobicoke and Scarborough to be at the concert hall,” Campbell added. But over the last few decades, the neighbourhood has seen an increase in condos and commercial buildings – much like the rest of Toronto – which brought higher rents and living costs that transformed the hip-hop scene downtown. Campbell said many hip-hop clubs decided to make the move to Toronto’s east end as well as other parts of the GTA such as Pickering, Brampton and Mississauga. Aaron Aquino-Annobil teaching a dance class at Run The Flex. (Julia Lawrence/The Green Line) “Hip-hop has been pushed out of the city along with many of the working class and middle-class racialized groups who are either starting families or trying to find lower rents,” explained Campbell. “I would call the downtown Toronto hip-hop scene sparse and disconnected … At one point in time, you could find a venue each night that was playing hip-hop music and had a stage with live performance. There are places you could go to experience hip-hop music, but it does not lend itself well to hip-hop dance or the culture of breaking.” Campbell added that now you might only find an event biweekly or monthly with smaller numbers in unpredictable places. Through the new studio, Aquino-Annobil and Rosove are working to make hip-hop dancing more accessible to Torontonians. However, a key part of Run the Flex’s philosophy is to also teach students about the history, creators and evolution behind each dance move. “It’s important to keep those stories alive because they came from somewhere. How are we going to move forward if we can’t move ten steps back and learn of the culture and the rawness that it came from,” said dance student Carina Kanaan. Carina Kanaan, a dance student at Run The Flex, started dancing hip-hop at the age of seven and says it is a form of expression for her. (Julia Lawrence/The Green Line) According to Rosove, the educational component encourages retention and appreciation for the culture while giving the choreography more purpose and understanding. This is a crucial element in today’s hip-hop scene since, according to Campbell, “the history of these dance moves are definitely disconnected from mainstream Top 40 music and movement. And you see this online, you see young people do dance moves that they have no idea where they’re from or what they’re about.” The Charleston, for example, has strong parallels to dances originating from Trinidad, Nigeria, and Ghana but is associated with the South Carolina city. In the early 1900s, African-Americans – who were living in a society with bonded labour and chattel – were often performing the dance against their will as part of their service and outside of the context in which they originated, Campbell said. Another example of a dance with important historical context, Aquino-Annobil added, is the C-Walk which was created in the 1970s by one of the first members of the Crips street gang, Robert Jackson. Despite repetitive social media, pop culture and film appearances, according to Campbell, “it’s not necessarily the wisest thing to randomly do anywhere.” Run The Flex’s lessons incorporate local history specific to Toronto as well. “When we curated our faculty, we were really intentional about finding people who really knew what they were talking about,” said Rosove. “These are people that have really studied things like threading, gliding, tutting, moves that are local to Toronto, but they’ve also gone out in the world to absorb other cultures [and dance styles] and then brought it back.” Campbell said it’s important for the general public to understand that “the hip-hop community is a community before it’s a scene” since individuals get together to support one another and encourage the creation of art, music and culture. “But it’s not necessarily an industry, there’s no hip-hop industry in Canada and the industry is not the only metric of success,” Campbell added. Echoing Campbell’s sentiments about community, Aquino-Annobil believes sharing knowledge about hip-hop’s culture – one of the five pillars of hip-hop cited by KRS-One – also means reinforcing its community values. “Especially within the culture of hip-hop and with crews, the idea [that] you’re responsible for everyone in your crew. Everyone is a family. And that was one thing growing up in this neighborhood, a lot of it was family oriented,” shared Aquino-Annobil about Rexdale. “I wanted to bring that aspect … to our clientele, letting them know when you are entering Run The Flex, you’re entering our family. You’re entering our community [and] we got your back, no matter what.” A post shared by THE GREEN LINE (@thegreenlineto) Leafs and Panthers players discuss Game 1 of round 2 of the playoffs Ontario Premier Doug Ford calls on Prime Minister Mark Carney to prioritize a list of projects including the proposed Highway 401 tunnel Monday is calling for rain and thunderstorms Stella Acquisto has the long-range forecast Could we see another indefinite pause on postal service in the country Negotiations are underway again as Canada Post and the workers’ union try to cut a deal to avoid a lockout or strike later this month listen to NewsRadio Toronto live anytime and get up-to-the-minute breaking-news alerts weather and video from CityNews Toronto anywhere you are – across all Android and iOS devices Prospective homebuyers with multi-million dollar budgets are likely to consider another major life purchase – that of a luxury vehicle – as they approach the driveway of their next potential home At least that’s the thinking behind a new initiative being jointly tested by BMW Canada and Heaps Estrin Real Estate a group under Royal LePage that specializes in luxury real estate within highly sought-after neighbourhoods in Toronto The luxury automaker has partnered with the real estate team to place some of its highest-end vehicles in the driveways of GTA homes with a ranging list price of $2.9 to $5.9 million Each home features one of three BMW vehicles the cars are being staged outside during open-houses in target Toronto neighbourhoods Research indicates that a house is the largest purchase Canadians make the two purchases follow one another: 33% of Canadian luxury vehicle purchases are triggered by the buying of a new home “I believe that makes sense that these two large purchases tend to be correlated,” wrote Michael Oliver national manager of brand communications for BMW Canada “New home purchases or relocations are often triggered by a lifestyle change New additions to the family or professional promotions are just a few examples.” He says it’s not so surprising to think a luxury home buyer may also need a BMW X7 to transport their growing families or that they have the means to put a BMW i8 Roadster in the driveway “There has always been an element of the home-buying experience that includes looking at the cars parked in the neighbourhood you’re considering and envisioning what it would be like to live there yourself.” While the initiative is still in its early days Digital marketing efforts have helped decrease its typical cost-per-lead in the vehicle class by 56% could be expanded in the future depending on results additional digital marketing efforts have helped decrease the typical cost-per-lead by 56% for the vehicle class with Media Experts overseeing media and North Strategic handling PR (all of which are BMW’s AORs)
