News release issued by the City of Toronto to mark the
20th Anniversary of Toronto City Hall

September 9, 1985

A celebration of the twenty City Hall years is scheduled for the evening of September 13. The event will be a re-creation of the sights and sounds of the 1960s, featuring the music of Robbie Lane and the Disciples. The City is inviting everyone to get out their mini-skirts and bell-bottom trousers and dance the night away.

After the party is over, the building will undergo yet another transformation. Renovations will soon begin on the first two floors of the building. The recently completed Aldermen's offices were the first phase of this renewal project, which was made possible when the Registry Office moved out of the building in December.

"The touch of greatness" offered by the addition of the Archer and the City Hall it ornaments has long been achieved. In the future both these and other changes may improve or alter the effect of the present structure, but, undoubtedly, all changes will be debated fiercely and add to the City Hall tradition as the focus of controversy.
