Public events at the Gardener’s Cottage in Kew Gardens are on hold – indefinitely. The circa-1902, heritage-designated building, also known as Kew Williams House, does not
have two exists therefore does not meet the requirements of the Ontario Fire Code. “All public buildings require two exits,” said Toronto Fire Services District Chief Rocco Delle Save during a recent interview. “If there’s a fire and smoke,
that (main) exit would be contaminated. The fire code is not (intended) to close people down but to get people out safely in the event of an emergency.” Staff from the Toronto Parks, Forestry and Recreation Department, which owns and manages the Gardener’s
Cottage, were forced to close the building’s doors indefinitely to the public late last year. “When we started to increase the programming (at the Gardener’s Cottage), we knew there would be some challenges to meet the Ontario Fire Code,” >>>COST, page 11
Jeffrey Baldwin fundraiser set for Saturday ‘Man of Steel’ event at Distillery Historic District A gala event aimed at raising funds for the Jeffrey Baldwin Memorial Statue in Greenwood Park takes place Saturday in the Distillery Historic District. The “Man of Steel” evening of hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and entertainment, will be held at The Stirling Room, 14 Trinity St., starting at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $30 in advance or $35 at the door. Baldwin led a mostly anonymous existence in his short five years of life in Toronto’s east end. The five-year-old boy was locked in a cold, dark bedroom with his six-year-old sister without food, left to drink water from the toilet. He died Nov. 30, 2002 – just two months shy of his sixth birthday. He weighed one pound less than he had as a one-year-old. He suffered severe abuse and neglect at the hands of his grandparents before dying of starvation, pneumonia, and septic shock. Todd Boyce, a father of three, is raising the funds for the memorial to immortalize Jeffrey with a bronze statue of the boy dressed in a Superman costume.
