Fire Station 128 – Dixie Road Update

By Resources, Ward 1

Over the past several months I have had a number of community engagements with residents, providing updates of the new fire station being located in our community. It is critical that our Ward receive sufficient first responder services. Proximity to emergency services is essential, as rapid response can make a critical difference in life‑saving situations.

I am pleased as many of those I have met, that we are receiving our fair share of services.  The new fire station outline is available below for your information.  The site which has been chosen is City owned lands adjacent to the Lakeview Golf Club.

Lakeview Golf Club celebrated its 125th anniversary five years ago and the property that is being used by the City Fire Department for this new one-bay fire station has a small building on it.  It was used as the groundskeeper’s home.  Heritage Advisory committee deemed that it was not heritage (please see HAC reports below) and therefore no capital spending was considered.

I will be having community engagement meetings in the future to continue to keep you up to date on its progress.  This first responder service has been welcomed by the majority of our community recognizing the need for the safety of our children, families and neighbours.

Background Information:

 

The Lakeview Golf Course is a heritage listed property owned and operated by the City’s Recreation department.

Key attributes contributing to the heritage designation of the Golf Course include:

  • Landscape features;
  • Historical importance, including the identity of the architect (Herbert Strong Design) and the heritage value associated with major tournaments held on the course;
  • The contextual relationship between the golf course and the surrounding urban setting.

The greenkeeper’s house holds heritage value solely through its relationship to the golf course.  Without the golf course, the structure would not meet the designation criteria outlined in O. Reg. 9/06

The overall heritage designation applies to the entire golf course; the greenkeeper’s house is one of several contributing attributes.

HAC Approval:

In October 2024, the City presented a Heritage Impact Assessment and Study to the Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) to assess potential impacts on the heritage golf course and evaluate the feasibility of constructing Fire Station 128 at the location of the greenkeeper’s house.  The study also provided recommended heritage impact mitigation measures.

At its meeting on November 12, 2024, HAC considered a Corporate Report dated October 11, 2024, and subsequently adopted the following recommendations.  These were approved by General Committee on November 20, 2024, and by Council on November 27, 2024:

GC 0521 2024

  1. That the request to demolish the superintendent’s cottage at 1190 Dixie Road (Ward 1), as outlined in the Corporate Report dated October 11, 2024, be approved.
  2. That the request to amend the heritage designation by law to exclude the area of the superintendent’s cottage at 1190 Dixie Road (Ward 1) be approved, conditional upon the severance of the property.
