I have some concerns with regards to the last paragraph describing the controversial arrival of Chapters at Bloor West Village and the conversion of the Runnymede Theatre. Based on my research of the building, the Ontario Heritage Act declared the former theatre a protected building in 1990, which means that it cannot be demolished or altered permanently.

You are correct. Although it is true that such designation can be changed or modified by the city, it is clear that the Runnymede Theathre was designated a protected building in 1990 as listed in the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory. I have made changes to the main page to reflect this as the previous version may not have been accurate and was speculative in nature anyways. Please feel free to modify the paragraph further to make it read better. --Thylark 08:26, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Large retail chains such as Chapters and Laura Secord occupy some store-space."

Do we need to start mentioning retail chains? I figure not... this can easily balloon into a list of stores in the area - if the BIA wants to list that on their site, sure. If the article were to discuss controversy regarding development (Chapters taking out the old theatre) that would work too. Krupo 03:55, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)
