Local parade to mark D-Day’s Land tribunal finalizes participant list for hearing on plan for Kingston Road building 81st anniversary set for June 8 By Matthew Stephens
A RECENT preliminary Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) meeting ended in disappointment for a local ravine conservation group after its request for “party status” in an upcoming hearing on a proposed 11-storey residential development at 847–855 Kingston Rd. (at Beech Avenue) was denied. The Glen Stewart Ravine is a natural area located just south of
the proposed development. The purpose of the OLT’s Case Management Conference online meeting on May 14 was to organize and establish party and participant status for an upcoming hearing in April of 2026. At the request of the OLT, the Case Management Conference was prohibited from being recorded by anyone who was attending online (including a Beach Metro Community News reporter) without “Prior
approval from the Tribunal.” Reporting on the meeting, however, was permitted. Attendees at the May 14 conference included legal representative for Gabriele Homes Ltd. (the applicant) Mark Flowers; Jyoti Zuidema representing the City of Toronto; planner Sean Guenther with the City of Toronto; Matthew Rutledge (counsel) and Tim Duncan (cocounsel) for the Toronto Region Continued on Page 2
THE MEMBERS of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 11 in East Toronto are organizing a local parade and memorial service to observe the 81st anniversary of D-Day. The parade will take place along Kingston Road on the afternoon of Sunday, June 8, starting at 1:30 p.m. The parade will travel east along Kingston Road from Norway Junior Public School, 390 Kingston Rd., to St. John’s Norway Cemetery on the northwest corner of Woodbine Ave-

D-Day on June 6, 1944 was the start of the invasion of France and the liberation of Europe by Allied troops to end the Second World War. More than 14,000 Canadian military members took part in the D-Day invasion. Canadian troops secured Juno Beach at the cost of over 1,000 casualties, with 359 killed.
