There is going to be a VIP Investor Event on February 4^th.

The Investor Suites of 1000 Bay in the heart of Downtown Toronto.

The lowest price goes to the people who buy VIP, not to the people who line-up and who when they get in, find red stickers covering the availability board.

The prices range from $250,900 for a 321 sq ft studio to $882,900 for a 1,340 sq ft three-bedroom plus Den suite. Estimated completion date is May 30th 2015.

On this one-day February 4^th, you get to buy at the very 1^st price the suites are released.

So, please e-mail me rnicholas@trebnet.com to buy into this opportunity.

The plans for 90 Harbour Street, in Downtown Toronto will be released this month by Menkes Developments.

Menkes is proposing a 31-storey office tower building and also two 70-storey residential condominium towers. This proposal is raising concerns for area residents, who think that this community is already at capacity.

Members of the York Quay Neighbourhood Association (YQNA) fear breakdowns in traffic, transit and pedestrian flow, as this area includes:

1. The Harbourfront Centre

2. Rogers Centre

3. Air Canada Centre and

4. The ferry terminal to the Toronto Islands.

It appears that the City Planning and Zoning Bylaws and Regulations Departments need updating to keep up with the building boom.

The Toronto Waterfrontis open to the public. This is made possible by the Harbourfront Centre which is a Canadian charity that operates the 10-acre site.

Various Courses and Workshops are conducted by the Harbourfront Centre. There are courses on Web and Social Media, Photography, Performing Arts etc., for those who are interested in a fun environment, at a great location, by Lake Ontario.

The Harbourfront Centre is a non-profit organization that provides arts, culture, education and recreation. The location is 235 Queens Quay W., Toronto.

In 2012, Toronto will be commemorating the Bicentennial of the War of 1812. This war led to the transformation of the, then, town of York which progressed into a city, that it is today.

Toronto is the largest city in Canada and also the nation’s commercial and financial centre.

The two centuries of peaceful co-existence between the United States and Canada will be celebrated starting the week of June 15^th, 2012. The many events include an overnight vigil in honour of those who died in that war, and costumed actors talking with visitors to ‘Old Town Toronto’, relating the events that took place.

A series of events are planned for 2012 and 2013. The events and activities are being organized by the City of Toronto and many interested partners.
