It was unanimously approved
at a General Meeting* held at the
Buddhist Church on Thursday,
May 12th, to submit an offer of
purchase for O’Hagan’s Nursery
as a site for the proposed Toron­
to Japanese Canadian Centre.
The site outlined in a report
indicated that it is situated on
Yonge St. at York Mills Rd. in
the area popularly known as
Hogg's Hollow. It is a U mile
north of the city limits along
Yonge St., and 14 mile south of
Highway 401. The. property con­
sists of approximately 6 acres
with an approximate 400-foot
frontage on Yonge St. The site is
bordered on the east side by
Yonge St., the south and west by
the Don River, and the north by
the Metro Golf Courses’ green­
keeper’s building and garden. The
11 tli green of the Metro Golf
Golf Course is situated directly
across the Don River to the west
of the property.
The consensus of opinion at the
meeting*
that the site is
ideally located for easy excess by
motor and public transportation.
One spokesman commented that
the travelling time along High­
way 401 by car from Scarboro
to the east, and Highways 27 and
Queen Elizabeth to the west is
approximately 15 minuites. From
city hall in downtown Toronto
by subway and bus, the Centre is
an estimated 30 minutes.
The meeting wa? shown slides

of the proposed site and adjacent
properties which offers many at­
tractive possibilities for its use
by numerous Japanese Canadian
groups such as Japanese garden­
ing. tennis, children’s playground
and lawn bowling—a possible
now recreation for the Issei.
In contrast to downtown loca­
tions that have been studied, this
site offers unlimited parking* faci­
lities which is one of the ma jor
problems that had to be consider­
ed in deciding a site, spokesmen
announced.
Numerous other locations have
been studied as possibilities and
most have been rejected in pre­
ference to this nursery location.
Centre officials feel that meeting
with city by-law obligations, pur­
chase price, and if applicable, demolision of a building, would run
into prohibitive -. grounds financially.
The offer of $125,000 is being
submitted to provisions required
for building of the Centre. The
major difficulties confronting
the decisions are the suitability
of the soil for construction and
the problems of re-zoning accord­
ing* to the by-laws of the Town­
ship.
“But we are hopeful, and full
utilization of all possibilities for
a successful transaction of pur­
chase is currently being handled
by our committees,” a spokes­
man concluded.
