City of Toronto Heritage Planning utilises Cultural Heritage Resource Assessments (CHRAs) to document and analyse an area’s history and ensure that properties of potential cultural heritage value or interest are appropriately identified, understood and conserved. In December 2020, Heritage Planning engaged Common Bond Collective to prepare the Bloor-Yorkville Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA). The Bloor-Yorkville CHRA is being undertaken as part of, and coordinated with, the Bloor-Yorkville Secondary Plan Study.

The ABC Residents Association believes Ramsden Park has an interesting and important story to tell. Since the City of York’s earliest beginnings, this unique landscape has had a meaningful connection to this community. We believe that Ramsden Park meets the criteria for designation as a Cultural Heritage Landscape.
