“One of the reasons that [Hanlan’s] became so successful for queer folk to go to is that it feels safe, it's remote, it's away from prying eyes," says community historian Ed Jackson.
The site where Canada's first-ever Pride celebration took place coincides with the area of Hanlan's Point beach that the queer community has historically used most. To mark this important queer space, permanent Progress Pride Flags have been raised at both beach ends. #HappyPride
A local group is fighting to preserve Hanlan's history as one of the world's oldest surviving queer spaces. @TheGreenLineTO visited the island to learn more. toronto.citynews.ca/2023/06/23/tor…
Hanlan's Point Beach is one of the world's oldest surviving queer spaces, but so much of its history remains untold. Help us change that. Share Carol's story of 1940s queer beach life and tag your friends that make Hanlan's special for you <3 #HanlansPointBeach #TorontoIslands
For 80+ years, Hanlan’s has been a place to organize + gather for Toronto’s 2SLGBTQ+ community. Heartened that City Council unanimously approved my & Chris Moise’s motion to recognize this. Big thanks @hanlansbeach for your advocacy, knowledge and care ❤️ ausmamalik.ca/hanlanshistory

Thank you 🤗 to @CheriDiNovo, @jamesdubro, @DennisFin, @SusanGapka, and the many other queer people that shared their stories with us. We are so lucky to live in Toronto and have a councillor like @ausmalik and a council that recognizes the significance of this space! 🌈⛱️🌊

For clarity, it is the "permanent infrastructure" for events that is off the table. Large-scale events, like Electric Island, will continue to happen at Hanlan's. Events, queer safety, increased policing, land back to Mississaugas, ecology care and more have not been addressed.

@99piorg @romanmars you should do an episode on @janeswalk since you’re touching on The Power Broker, it would be great to touch on the impact of Jane Jacobs in our cities and post her life inspiring a festival in over 500 cities worldwide. Let’s chat!
The pumps are off! Give or take a few centimeters, the river is full to Lake Level.

Toronto’s Port Lands project is big and visionary – and it needs streets to match. My column: theglobeandmail.com/gift/5208e122e… #topoli #toronro
Some new cycling infrastructure is opening to the public tomorrow in the Portlands 🌉 The Commissioners Street Bridge and Cherry Street South Bridge will provide cycling and pedestrian access to the new Villiers Island from the rest of the Portlands.
$63.6 million approved by City Council to advance the #WaterfrontEastLRT to ‘shovel-ready design.’ Thank you Deputy Mayor @ausmalik and the Ward 10 Office for your work to keep the project on track. The LRT is closer to reality than ever before.
Thank you for this wisdom, @Jay_Pitter! I’m already thinking about how to apply this to our work in Barbara Hall Park, where safety as a concept has been prominent & also divisive.
I engaged City of Toronto’s, Parks, Forestry & Recreation staff at the beautiful Toronto Botanical Gardens. We explored public safety issues across municipal spaces. Public safety is one of the most urgent yet misunderstood & poorly addressed issues across cities. Highlight 🧵
