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) as part of, and coordinated with, the Bloor-Yorkville Secondary Plan Study. The Bloor-Yorkville Cultural Heritage Resource Assessment (CHRA) FINAL Context Statement is now completed.
