Two recent projects come to mind when looking around our community. With Covid-19 resulting in a change in our normal routines and limited opportunities to shop or visit in groups, here’s a chance to drive around Scarborough and take note (and pictures) of our heritage.

Pictured below are two interesting new heritage features.

The former Stop 14, Stinson’s Grocery store at Midland and Kingston Road, has now been restored to its former 1903 appearance. The new owners have done a great job, using historical photographs to fix up this designated heritage property.

The Midland Park mural on the plaza wall at Ellesmere and Birkdale Road is the work of a dedicated group of local residents who have been trying for years to have the unique community designated as a Heritage Conservation District.
