Ladies and Gentlemen. Over a year ago, I brought to the attention of the members, a serious problem here in Toronto. The Dean at St. James' Cathedral applied for a letter of closure to sell the adjacent cemetery (PRIME Real estate) to erect a condo which would have towered over the Cathedral's Spire, the second highest in North America. The 3000 plus skeleton remains would have been disposed of later, no indication of where and how. Some of these would have contained British, Canadian and American veterans of the Capture of York (Toronto), April 27, 1813. Our opposition forced him to withdraw this application. Now, once again into the fray, he sold a portion of the air rights, which he does not own, and wishes to do excavations and shoring to remodel existing offices on the sight. The graves are once again under attack. Numerous remains are found 2-3 feet below the parking surface. Yes, the grave site was paved over for parking.They were excavating last summer when 2 trenches 60x4x8 feet were dug in the cemetery. Now, the US Casualties on that date was 52 soldiers and 3 seamen killed and a total of 222 wounded, some of whom died later in York. I have acquired some 17 names and names only of 3 whose bodies were returned to Sacketts Harbour - Zebulon Pike and Midshipmen Hatfield and Thompson. Can any one supply additional names and possible burial sites. Sacketts Harbour only shows Pike buried there. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, we go back to the city council once again on July 8th to voice our opposition.
