"Interestingly, a review of more than 4 years of agendas and meeting minutes for Build Toronto, both at the committee level and board level, revealed little discussion specific to 9 Madison." Please clarify the significance of this not happening.
Why should the City support a cultural centre project that allows for the demolition of the historic Estonian House?
Here, as advocated by one of the Councillors who will review the proposed transfer of 9 Madison to an entity as yet unnamed, is how the Italian community recently openly resisted the demolition of their historic Columbus Centre:
"Education Minister Indira Naidoo-Harris has issued a letter dated February 14, 2018 on this matter that:
Recognizes the historical significance of Columbus Centre and its importance to Ontario's Italian-Canadian community
Considers City Council's Heritage Review of Columbus Centre buildings
Suggests that the TCDSB move forward with an alternative proposal
States that the Ministry of Education will not support a school project that allows for the demolition of the historic Columbus Centre
Offers to work with TCDSB to use current funding to support a project that will not affect the Columbus Centre"

I think these 2 buildings might be different, though. The Columbus Centre is historic as the Columbus Centre, is that right? Built for and occupied by the Italian community.
The Estonian House is historic as the Chester Avenue Public School - the Estonian House function is merely the most recent use of the historical building (though of course significant for our community, not what makes the building exceptional).

The Estonian House is doubly historic.
The Chester Public School, as an example of early Toronto history and architecture. So many beautiful buildings from that era have been torn down already, replaced with glass boxes.
Then the Estonian House itself as a tangible example of the incredible spirit of the Estonian people who came together to celebrate and pass their culture to their younger generations. Could you just imagine what our community would have been without this house? A shining example of the will of people rising above serious adversity.
