"There are thousands of commemorative plaques across the City of Toronto. A total number, I don't think anyone has," said Adam Wynne, chair of the Toronto and East York community preservation panel."
"A bronze plaque was ripped off a bridge. That looks like theft to me," noted Coun. Josh Matlow, emphasizing the suspicious nature of the disappearing plaques.
"We rely on people to tell us they're missing," said Chris Bateman, manager of plaques for Heritage Toronto, highlighting the lack of formal tracking.
"City plaques vary in size, weight and composition... The most common commemorative bridge plaques are set into either end of the bridge with adhesive and brass bolts," describes the specifications of the plaques.
