One addition from Wikipedia: CHARLOTTE WHITTON was the first female mayor of a major city in Canada, serving from 1951 to 1956 and again from 1960 to 1964. (Whitton is sometimes mistakenly credited as the first woman ever to serve as a mayor in Canada, but this distinction is in fact held by Barbara Hanley, who became mayor of the small town of Webbwood in 1936.)

I think it’s fascinating to see the changes in urban development over time – the good and the bad – since this is where we can learn from history about the society and cultural values that engendered the said changes.

Her approval of plans to build the Queensway were outdated when she approved it. Today, the Queensway is a source of much frustration and traffic. <br/><br/>You mention the big garage sale, this is a perfect example of a flawed neighbourhood in regards to traffic.
