Help Save Weston Lions Arena

Looking across the Humber River towards Weston Lions Arena (top left) in 1954 after Hurricane Hazel devastated Raymore Drive.

The community efforts to save Weston Lions Arena continue.

Toronto’s Senior Manager of Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning has recommended that City Council include Weston Lions Arena on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register. This is a major step along the way to save this historic part of the Weston community.

There are more steps along the way and a show of support from the public is needed. The first hurdle is for approval from Etobicoke York Community Council.

  1. Either show up at the Etobicoke / York Community Council Meeting on Wednesday, February 18, 9:30am at 399 The West Mall, Etobicoke, ON M9C 2Y2) or
  2. Send in a submission via the ‘Submit Comments’ or ‘Request To Speak’ links to the Council stating your support for including the arena on the Heritage Register.

If given the go-ahead by the Community Council, the recommendation will go before a full meeting of Toronto Council for a vote.

This is the community’s chance to let their opinions be known.
