TAXED OUT: Can Toronto’s Retail Main Streets Survive?
Intense, rapid development in Toronto has led to massive hikes in commercial property values and taxes. Independent businesses are feeling the crunch. Many have closed, and more are threatened by rising space costs. Presenting TAXED OUT, the first gallery exhibition of the Ryerson City Building Institute [link: www.citybuildinginstitute.ca], which through a curated collection of statistics, photography and other visuals illustrates the very real impact of tax policy on the main streets we love. Experience the exhibition from September 10 to December 14, 2018. #TAXEDOUT
