Old City Hall in Toronto will be vacated by the Ontario government on April 1, after serving as a courthouse since 1972. City staff are seeking new uses for the historic site, with proposals including shops, restaurants, and a library. Councillor Josh Matlow advocates for the building to become a Museum of Toronto, citing strong public support for this option. An amendment approved by the mayor's executive committee will explore not only the museum concept but also funding mechanisms, with a report expected by mid-2026 that will include public consultations.
Old City Hall could become a museum of Toronto, reflecting public interest in the city's history and engaging community investment.
Coun. Josh Matlow emphasized the emotional connection people have with Toronto's stories, suggesting that funding can be sourced from those invested in this narrative.
