Any word on what is happening at the factory. I would hope my first visit in 2013 wasn't to be my last.

I can't imagine how we could ever save this place anyway. I think it will be like everything else historic in Canada, money will drive what happens. Look at the military bases in Victoria, buildings that existed before the communities were built were dozed down and loaded out. Entire bases disappeared. I have little faith in our headmasters keeping this for posterity. I wish I'd thought to go see it when I was in the area some years back.

Found this but nothing more recent .....

Arsenal Lands Park Master Plan
The City of Mississauga and TRCA will develop a new park on the former Arsenal Lands. The City of Mississauga, along with TRCA and City of Toronto, will review the existing Arsenal Lands/Marie Curtis Park West Master Plan Addendum to determine potential programme and infrastructure changes that help to meet the current fiscal constraints and public needs for the park. Mississauga staff will be the project lead for the existing concept review, detailed design, development and operation of the Arsenal Lands. A Request for Proposals will be initiated for a consulting firm to undertake conceptual design refinement, detailed design, construction drawing preparation, approvals/permits, contract documents, specifications, tender documents and construction administration for the Arsenal Lands. It is anticipated that implementation of the Arsenal Lands Master Plan could begin in early 2011.

Interesting read. Thank you CODFan. I am very happy to see a park with some recognition of the workers and the job they did for the ALLIES. Much better than another corporate waterfront boondoggle, Buying prime real estate from the feds for pennies on the dollar. I hope it has one more year left in it for a show.

[CODFan]

I hope to meet you there next year.

A few additional update photos for those interested ....

Looks to me like someone has grandiose plans...

[CODFan]

For those interested. Sign indicates the work is part of the Hanlan Water project.

Wow,looks almost suspicious the type of barrier in that part of town. So much for the park! What ever it is I hope it brings jobs and revenue to the area.
