That is not what it says.

It says:

Unless there are particular concerns with the budget, selected projects will receive their entire ask. For budgets that exceed $100,000,
supplementary external funding must be secured by the applicant.

So Northcrest will supply $100,000 max.

Thus generated by the artist.
 
I have a couple friends doing artsy stuff for these lands and they said it is nothing short of amazing and is being run well. Lots to be excited for! I love how the call has been opened up to international artists, which is kind of rare for Toronto because we tend to be overly concerned with only focusing on local artists and thus kind of boxing in our city in a very provincial bubble. Great!! My aspirations for Toronto to be an international arts hub 'may' come true.

That last one is interesting in the light of all the discussion around Villiers.

Waiting until DOWNSVIEW WEST (Federal Lands) come to Council in the Fall, to see what an actual Federal Commitment is on their own lands.

will be interested to see if DND closes down their remaining lands at the armoury and DRDC given the federal govt plan to develop defence lands for housing. Guessing we will hear more this fall.

The next govt will likely have the same plan, seeing as they want to sell off 6000 buildings.
 
Just an illustration of what a ‘meanwhile’ use can look like. This is a temporary venue for the Stratford Symphony on a beautiful farm outside town.
