More on the Canada Malting Co. Silos

We told you a few weeks ago about the museum project at the site of the Canada Malting Silos.

Here's an update from the Heritage Toronto site

The other issue of import on Friday was the Canada Malting silos. Heritage Preservation Services is moving to designate the silos based on their associative, contextual and design value. This comes as the City's Facilities & Real Estate Division is seeking to demolish all but a representational stub of the footprint of a few of the silos. The Board agreed with the HPS staff recommendation that the silos are worthy of designation, and also added an amendment to recommend that the $8 million set aside by the City for this site, and which Facilities & Real Estate is suggesting be used for demolition, instead be used to stabilize and restore the silos, while demolishing the buildings to the west, which pose a public danger.
The site is apparently no longer being considered as the future home of the Museum of Toronto, and work is now underway to consider the feasibility of Old City Hall for that purpose.
