Guild Park and Gardens, Where Art Meets Nature – John Mason
As champions of Guild Park, John Mason and
Janet Heise, Probus-Guildwood member, were the
recent recipients of the Paul Harris Fellows
recognition from the Rotary Club of Scarborough .
John Mason, President and founder of the
volunteer group, Friends of Guild Park was our
October 9 speaker. John has been involved with
Guild Park for almost a decade assisting in Guild
Park’s remarkable transformation from neglect.
He’s a unique individual who works collaborat-
ively with many colleagues and officials. He has
helped: a) organize Guild Park events, including
hundreds of popular walking tours; b) collect
stories about the site and the founders of the Guild
of All Arts, Rosa and Spencer Clark; and c)
advocate on behalf of park users.
For his work, Friends of Guild Park has received
awards from all three levels of government, as
well as Heritage Toronto.
History of the Guild
The original building, called Ranelagh Park, was
built in 1914. It was the family home of Colonel
(later General) Harold Child Bickford who only
lived there for three years. Eventually the property
with about 488 acres was purchased by the artistic
patrons, Rosa and Spencer Clark, in 1932 who
transformed the site into Canada’s only “arts
colony” during the Depression. With the
construction of various studio cabins, the Clarks
created The Guild, a home to artists and artisans,
including Thomas Bowie, Sorel Etrog and Dorsey
James for 50 years.
With the demolition of historic Toronto buildings,
Spencer Clark rescued many facades and artifacts
creating a sculpture garden throughout the
manicured gardens and created the current Greek
Theatre. The “Guild” attracted celebrities and
tourists and by 1967 the Guild Inn had grown to
become a popular hotel with an indoor and patio
restaurant.
Misfortune and Neglect
Unfortunately, the Clarks’ dream faded when they
were compelled to sell 400 acres to Guildwood
developers to pay increasing taxes. Eventually
they sold the last 88 acres to the TRCA in 1978.
The Guild Inn and its forest, formal gardens, and
art then were all managed by the City of Toronto.
With the death of Rosa in 1981 and Spencer in
1986, there was an absence of a vision for the site.
The Guild Inn closed in 2001.
Despite the concerns of the Guildwood
community, the Guild Inn was not a priority for
the city.
A fire destroyed the Studio building valued at
$500,000 on December 25, 2008. It was not
insured. Subsequently the hotel wing was
demolished in April 2009. Plans for a tourism

institute by Centennial College failed. By 2012 the
boarded and fenced-in building was seriously
neglected. The after-effects of the Emerald Ash
Borer and the 2013 Ice Storm caused more than
3,600 mature trees to be cut down. There was
considerable loss of wildlife habitat. The Park was
made ‘off-limits’ to the public.
The Rebirth of The Guild
The original building was restored and reopened as
the Guild Inn Estate in 2017 by a privately-run
corporation for special events only. However, the
Guild property of 88 acres is still managed by the
city. With concerted community action by
concerned volunteers, new initiatives based on
best practices at other Toronto sites were launched
due to the decades of failed plans and inaction.
Current projects, with public input, are now in
progress. Two “Vimy Oaks” were planted in 2018.
In June 2019 the Sculptor’s Cabin was restorated
which is a Volunteer Project becoming a Welcome
Activity hub.
The Clark Centre for Arts, which will have artist
studios and public art space, is scheduled to open
in 2020-21. $7,000 has been raised for a Heritage
Plaque which will be mounted when more funds
become available for installation and site
landscaping.
Seniors Walks in Guild Park ran June 24 to
September 16. It was a “life-changing” program
for people to become active in nature. Probus-
Guildwood assisted. Many aspirations and
challenges remain for the volunteer advocates to
revive Guild Park and its significance as a unique
Scarborough landmark.
Dorsey James, former Guild resident sculptor, and
Carole Lidgold, author of The History of the
Guild Inn, joined us for this presentation to
provide further background and to sign copies of
her book.
John is a former journalist and communications
consultant. He holds degrees in forestry,
journalism and business. He can be contacted at
[email protected] or by Mobile/Text:
416-816-9701. John is leaving 10 copies of
Carole’s book for Probus-Guildwood members.
They are $10 a copy cash or cheque payable to
‘Friends of Guild Park’.
My Wife isn't talking to me, says I ruined her birthday.
I'm not sure how. I didn't even know it was her birthday.

Walking Tour of remaining tunnels
and buildings of wartime GECO,
munitions plant – with Barbara
Dickson
Thursday morning, we gathered at the base of
the Water Tower at Warden and Eglinton,
mother nature decided to keep the rain at bay
and allow the sun to come out. As Barbara
Dickson started with a brief history of the site of
GECO, I could see with my minds eye the
expropriated 350 acres of farmland – green and
lush.
Barbara Dickson started to give us the history of
the building of 346 acres and 172 buildings, and
kilometers of tunnels-completed in only seven
months in 1941. We strolled past original
buildings which were used as change rooms –
20,000 staff could only wear non static non
metallic items and then they would enter the
plant site via walkways. The buildings had no
windows and some of the buildings were also
partially buried just in case of an explosion or
fire. The tour brought us to an original building
whose owner was willing to allow Barbara to
take groups into the tunnels, interesting space,
low ceilings, original clips and doors to stations
still in place, a vivid imagination takes over.
.
We met up and continued past lots of auto repair
shops. Barbara pointed out rows of old
buildings, where walkways would have been. As
we turned a corner, an original building was
being demolished – it was being taken down
with care to reclaim as much as possible.
Post war a large group of the buildings were
being used as affordable housing. Families

started growing up on the ammo grounds as
Scarborough started grew. One of the buildings
was converted into the Embers Banquet Hall but
it is now a church, 70 years later.
As the story tour ended with Barbara Dickson, I
could look across all the auto shops and could
still see acres of farmland. Jadwiga Brazda

November – Carbon Monoxide Awareness In Ontario, you must have a working CO alarm
adjacent to each sleeping area of the home if you
have a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an
attached garage. Exposure to CO can cause flu-
like symptoms such as headaches, nausea,
dizziness, as well as confusion, drowsiness, loss
of consciousness and death. If your CO alarm
sounds, and you or other occupants are suffering
from symptoms of CO poisoning, move
everyone out of the home immediately and call
911. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for
your CO alarms to know the difference between
the sound of an alarm and the sound of a low
battery or end of life warning. The CO alarm
sounds different than a smoke alarm. Test both
alarms monthly and make sure everyone in the
home knows the difference between the two
alarm sounds. Test your alarms monthly to
ensure they are working.
All fuel-burning appliances and vents in the
home should be inspected annually by a
registered contractor. In a condo or apartment
building with a service room, CO alarms must
be installed in the service room and in each suite
or sleeping room adjacent to the service room.
Sobering truth: In Ontario, more than 65 per cent
of injuries and deaths from CO occur in the
home.
Lunch with Friends and Cooking With Jan
Kudos to Janet Eaton who coordinates these two
activities. She researches, organizes and reminds
our members who have signed up for the local
luncheons.
On Friday, October 25, the group gathered at Six
Social which opened May 2019 in Highland
Creek. The staff are very friendly and offer free
coffee and soup to patrons.
The next luncheon will be at Thai One On at
Bellamy and Ellesmere. The luncheons are a
great way to explore various restaurants at
relatively low cost while enjoying the company
of new and familiar faces.
Jan also hosts a ‘one pot cooking session’ in her
apartment building Social Room. She and Barry
Scheffer will continue this activity in January
2020 when members will be requested to
register in advance for Jan to purchase required
groceries.
A nominal fee will be charged as participants
will be sampling the demonstration product.
Thanks, Jan, for your gastronomic enthusiasm.
