"Toronto in 1834" by Owen Staples, showing the Gooderham
& Worts windmill |
Toronto is one of the largest, most culturally diverse municipalities in North America and has a cultural history that began approximately 11,000 years ago. The archaeological sites that are the physical remains of this lengthy settlement history represent a fragile and non-renewable cultural legacy. |
Gooderham and Worts windmill site | Protecting these sites has become increasing important since landscape change has been occurring at an ever-increasing rate. The City of Toronto is in the process of developing an archaeological master plan to identify areas of archaeological potential and to require archaeological assessments on land prior to development. The Interim Report - A Master Plan of Archaeological Resources for the City of Toronto, August 2004 sets out the framework for the project. |
