Fort York: Adding New Buildings With this special addition of the Fife and Drum we are pleased to be able to provide our members, friends and supporters with a copy of a new publication, Fort York: Adding New Buildings. Th is study is the result of a fi ve year process involving the Friends of Fort York, Th e Fort York Management Board and the Culture Division of the City of Toronto. Th e study makes recommendations as to what buildings and other capital improvements, both within and outside the walls of Fort York, are required to integrate visitors into the site and its history in a seamless manner. At the same time, the new facilities that are recommended will accommodate the increased level of program activities and visitorship contemplated for the future. Th e report provides the necessary analytical background and rationale for a capital expenditure program at Fort York that will respect its status as Toronto’s birthplace and most important historic site, while signifi cantly enhancing the fort as a major attraction for both citizens and tourists, and as an economic resource for the City. Th e report will also be an essential aid in the on-going process to convince the private sector to participate in the fi nancing of that capital expenditure program.
