At today's city council meeting, however, councillors are expected to vote on no fewer than
three motions that aim to
protect potential heritage buildings.
"Heritage architecture tells the story of Toronto, providing a visible reminder of our social history," reads
one of the motions. Joe Mihevc put this one forward.
The other two motions seek to create a city-wide survey of potential heritage buildings and both mention the Bank of Montreal building at
2444 Yonge Street. It dated back to 1907, but was demolished before those in the surrounding neighbourhood could save it.
Now, these motions hope to steer the wrecking ball away from buildings such as that one in the future.
