Land Acknowledgement

It has been a place of human activity for 15,000 years. This land is the territory of Huron Wendat and Petun indigenous peoples of Seneca, and more recently the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The region was subject to the Spoon Wampum Belt Treaty, an agreement between the Iroquois Federation and the Ojibwe Union and allies to peacefully share and nurture resources around the Great Lakes.
Today, Toronto's meeting place is still home to many indigenous peoples from all over Turtle Island. I am grateful for the opportunity to work in the local community.

History

The Parkdale Theater opened in the spring of 1920. Built by the chain mogul Jay and Jules Allen, it was designed by C. Howard Crane, Detroit's premier cinema architect. The interior of the theater was lush with spacious and ornate stucco ceilings, gold accents, crystal chandeliers and over 1,500 soft leather seats.
Known as the Workers Riviera, the area was an entertainment destination for Toronto residents due to its many theaters, live music, and proximity to amusement parks and Sunnyside Beach. The Parkdale Theater was closed in the summer of 1970.
Many tenants have lived there for years, from Eaton's annex to beer shops and some anti-sellers, but they keep the building away from its roots as a place for people's entertainment and installation.
