Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study — West Annex Phase II

Commissioned by the City of Toronto, EVOQ serves as prime consultant for the West Annex Phase II Heritage Conservation District (HCD) Study. The study area encompasses approximately 1,300 properties in an area bounded by Bloor Street West, Dupont Street, Bathurst Street, and Bedford Road, at the heart of a historic residential neighbourhood that developed following the city's northward expansion in the late 19th century.

The study aims to identify and assess the cultural heritage values and attributes of the area, and to formulate recommendations for the potential designation of one or more Heritage Conservation Districts under the Ontario Heritage Act. The process brings together a multidisciplinary team comprising EVOQ (built heritage), ASI (archaeology), Re:public Urbanism (planning), and Lura Consulting (community engagement). This study incorporates public consultations and outreach to urban Indigenous communities.
